We shall Love All like We have never been Hurt

Today I got up at 3:30 am. Yesterday- the May Day which celebrates the value and dignity of labor – both physical and mental, my two students lent a helping hand in putting some order in a chaotic home filled with academic debris accumulated over four decades.

That was also a day when one of my children was in a tormented state of mind and because of my stupidity and immaturity or more maturity and more eagerness, I did not allow the other side to ventilate her problems and feelings more freely . “How can you know unless I tell you?”, she might have felt . When I knew everything what she was going to say, I felt that the conversation must be short circuited for her own good. The result, quite inadvertently the problem was compounded and her finer sensibilities were wounded. There was no way to console or explain my true intentions. Even the KFC Chicken could not play any cementing role and she hardly touched it although the grand children chewed them to the core and enjoyed themselves . Later they also found fault with me that I have not adequately listened to their mother . A person, who had enormous amount of patience and concern for others and had played a role of a psychologist besides his teaching assignment, could not replicate the same at home, where it mattered most on a fateful day. The simple truth that even a fraction of the concern shown for the vast army in the society was conspicuously absent when his own children were involved in the game .The ways and the means of the cruel and wicked fate are indeed mysterious.

As the world is undergoing an unforgettable recession with all the inflationary pressures and speculative tendencies are inherently built into that evolving economic order, individuals too, our nearest ones and also the most dearest ones have been afflicted with inexplicable sorrow, unease and unhappiness .In the early years of new millennium, I too have tossed and turned into a tailspin of serious academic recession, sorry Tsunami. By the grace of the Supreme, whom I am yet to romance with, more feverishly, I survived. For the sake of all – those unfortunate ones – You and Me an many Others for whom life is always fused with the spice of suffering the following quote of the actor, Ravina Tandan would show the path of happiness .

“There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like we don’ need money, dance like no one is watching and love like you have never been hurt”
