The Fall

It is times, when we tend to expect too much too soon,
What happens, when life has other plans for us?
We think we are fallen.
We tend to blame every one out there, friends, families,colleagues, and everyone we find in our contact list.
Deep within, we feel: why me? Look at all the other people out there, they have so much to thank for, and me? What have I got for which I should be thankful of?
Often times we all feel this way, feeling dejected from this experience of life.

Probably it is this deepest trough that teaches us the “lessons”— “Lessons of Life”.
What if we take a note of these lessons, and move on, keeping the learnings from these lessons, and build on it.
We would be moulded into a different being altogether. We would learn how to be “the Ideal traveller”.

But is this any bit easy? All the great men have spent their lives to be that Ideal traveller, and if we expect that we should have that too easy, are we not asking too much from life?
What should then be our take for all that “fall” whichever form it comes?
…..probably a take well described in one bollywood favourites : “All is Well…..!!!”
It sums up our ideal response in helping us become that ideal traveller.

Let’s then unlearn and learn this as a small child does: they fall, get up and brush up the dust and move on…… it’s time we again go back to our childhood: We fall, get up and brush the heartburn and move on……(keeping the learning etched in our memories)

“The light of hope flickers as we march on
Alleys turning narrow and dark
Fear seems being thrust upon
A cry with a silent bark

Oh! Why me? Why me?
Our heads held up, we whine
as if the lady luck would not shine
we draw first blood with power divine

O Soul! O Soul! be calm
The tempest which blows is not to be blamed
For, which sailor becomes one
If he sails not multiple ones

Learn from it, and move on
Calm follows the storm
The rays of hope will shine down soon
Be ready to accept with a silver spoon

Lest we not fall and fall again;
But fall and rise; fall and rise Again….!!!
