For Reasons known to God,
sleeping in heavens, I have not regained my physical vigor and academic rigour
ever since I fell down from the stair case, last July 2011. I slipped yesterday too
in one marriage dining hall
while moving towards the wash
basin.Thank God, the nasty fall was
averted, though I did fall . Hence forward I should exercise
more restraint and moderate my feverish /boyish tendencies. It is
also high time the preparations were
made for cataract operation. I am painfully realizing that I am becoming old,
getting tired more easily and not having physical stamina to negotiate the summer heat in absence of any air conditioning
facility.
For long , Blog writing
has been in a state of suspended
animation , despite my Ph.D scholar willing to help and goad me to action .As his
opportunity cost of time is vary high I
do not want to trouble him.Frustration with my associates or colleagues whom I
loved very dearly also made me to alienate.
The saddest part of my life , not withstanding
the finest, happiest moments I have enjoyed (especially my youngest
daughter’s marriage event- a really
memorable event of my whole life time) is that I am not able to read and
write as much as I can or I would like to.
While cleansing my book
shelf I stumbled upon a few scribblings about myself, written on the last day
of September 2010.What was my mental makeup then? Please go through the
following from my dateless diary.Recollecting the past to learn the laws of
life is always welcome, although one should not wallow up in the sufferings of
the past.
I am grateful to the Lord that I was born to hard working and honest
parents who valued work ethics , and self
respect as important components of life.
By sheer happy accident, the Supreme has inculcated in me that kind of attitude and
approach towards life. All titles and designations have come on their own
without asking for it.
I do fully understand that the best things in
life are almost free and I don’t know how far you would agree with me when I
say that you do not need much material
wealth to be happy or to lead a full life , which of course does not mean more happiness, more comforts and more
material well being . Indeed a luxurious life is a dead and boring one. That is
why God has made life as a judicious mixture of joy and sorrow. Even while the
cup of life is overflowing with sorrow and misery by our sheer attitude, we
shall convert them into joy. My own experience is that every sorrowful event is
a welcome event, more than the joyous ones.We should be grateful to those who really inflict more injury into our heart and mind.
