Life is a continuous process,there is no start or end points as long as one lives........sometimes there are only changes and shuffles but life goes on and on.........
I was thinking about it,sitting on the silvery sands of Colva Beach,Goa. Me and My hubby came here for a short trip,just to spend some time with each other.The hectic life in Bangalore almost drained out the energy from us. Irritation and stress became part of life. This was drawing a line between us,slowly. Over a period of few months,I was observing our relationship from a neutral angle. The alarm bell already started ringing,so I didn't think it wise to delay any more.What is the use of money and career if there is no satisfaction in life left? We decided to take a short trip just to revive the colours of togetherness.
Things were not easy,there was not even a rule book anywhere. I knew that I had to do something,but what actually? I had no clues,from where to start. In childhood,somewhere I read, if you have some unresolved things bothering you,ask the sea. It always replies. So I was staring at it,in hope of finding some answer.The sun was setting,the sea was illuminated with the aura. A lone fishing boat was sailing far away. We were far from the crowd,seated side-by-side,but quite absorbed in our individual thoughts.No disturbance,no sound,only peace all around.
After some time,I found a calmness prevailing. It seemed that all the bothering questions,like the endless waves of the sea,suddenly came to an end. There was a peaceful stillness inside me. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. The first thought came to me, was what I am doing actually with this life? As I explored further,I found the answer myself. It's all about doing the proper work on the proper time. We sacrifice our present for the sake of future and brood over the past follies. The present is left uncared,which ridicules the future too. We let go many vital things like friendship,togetherness,love,care and respect in order to achieve something,the true nature of which we really don't know. Doing justice to all these soft feelings always yield some positive effects,but we are too busy to understand the importance. We are engaged to nourish our ego,but never care to turn back and see,much more precious things are left unattended,crying desperately for attention. When the limit exhausts,the boundary wall gets too high around us,we start cursing our entrapment in hostile situations. But we forget to put the single stitch which saves at least nine at the hour of need!
I opened my eyes and looked at my hubby. He also sat speechless,staring at the sea. I could feel that the same wave of thoughts were bothering him too. As I looked at him,he asked, "Can't things be better,if we try together?"
As a reply,I took his hand in mine,smiled,and hummed one of the songs from my all-time favourites,
"Jab Koi Baat Bigad Jaaye,Jab Koi Mushkil Pad Jaaye,
Tum Dena Saath Mera,O Humnawaaz....."
