on the other side of the wall, trying hard to take a peek into the green

much difference. I thought there was a whole up-to-the-minute world out there.
Before my big day, I asked a lot of married friends of mine, they all said
aloud…. ‘’PLS don’t get married……’’.</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

splendor awaiting me on the other side. Initially I felt numb to accept reality
(I m sure many of us have even been strode stricken). I was diffidently hard
hit when my dreams were shattered. It never struck me that I wasn’t living in
the 80’s-90’s drama world (modern time’s fairy tales). Some of us blame, nag
and cry – Others bear with it, and pretend to be happy.</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

symptoms to be worried about. I Immediately called the doctors – My friends. We
all know the absolute friendship saying ‘A friend in need is always a friend
indeed’, which we quote necessarily and unnecessarily. We seldom use it only
because we all absolutely understand the meaning of it, but rarely does it come
handy. Initially there was always an ear to my cries. My sorrows were their
sorrows. In a while, I realized it wasn’t very pleasant to hear someone whine
and brag almost all the time. Eventually my signs turned into an ‘attitude’,
which bored others. The rest is imaginable. Habitually I realized that too much
of my unhappiness crushed the quote that always rang in my head. I m glad I
didn’t lose any friends to whom I always painfully skinned out my entire
quandary. I consciously took hold of my situation of me being on the brink of
being branded as a character. The lesson I learned from my verdict is that I
would rather keep friends for good times and keep my solitude to help me shadow
my grief.</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

truth. It took me a lot of time to appreciate that it was not my marriage that
failed me but it was my soaring expectations about the fairy land I dreamt of.
I contemplate that my fantasy was the sole enemy who traumatized my life. Don’t
we all mistake it for our marriage??On an over all, my lost fantasy depression
syndrome that crept into me made me decide that being single was always better.</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Isn’t this the rumor or the bad message
we multiply every day. Aren’t we sadists to bestow an off beam impression about
the concept of marriage? Just because I allowed myself to create my own
fantasy, I botched to enjoy that ice-cream when it was cold and sip on that
coffee when it was steaming hot. I waited until the ice cream melted and the
coffee turned lukewarm.</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

definitely have sufficed time at our forefront to build new fantasies. I fixed
myself some most modern fantasies and I totally enjoy my marriage, love and the
comfort zone I share with my partner. I suppose there’s no fun if you don’t
wind, unwind and rewind relationships.</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i><u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></u></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Like
all children I too had hobbies and collectibles. Collectibles can sometimes be weird,
but there was a time when I was focused on it day and night. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In my early days, one
of my weirdest collectibles used to be Nido tin seals. Nido was a famous brand
for milk powder. Those days it had odd promotions. It goes like this…..The more
number of tin seals you collected, you had more chance of winning a prize -
depending on the promotion. Sometimes the prizes were walk-mans, clocks, salad
bowls, coffee mugs, toys, bags and many more. One of it was to collect 15 tin
seals to claim for a walk-man. I waited for months to finish collecting 15 tin seals
to own a walk-man. I forced myself to drink more milk so that my mom would buy
more of Nido. The day I achieved 15 seals was the happiest day of my life. I
was going to be an owner of a walk-man. I rushed to the store and grabbed my
prized possession. To my sheer bad luck, it worked for a few minutes and then
stopped. That was the most heart-breaking episode of my life. After a lot of
crying I finally managed to get more tin seals from my mom and got another one.
It worked perfectly fine and was one of my best possessions. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">After
having accomplished my first collectible prize, I never stopped. I went on with
my collections and finally won all the prizes that were up during the promotion
time. I m sure all ma </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">friends back in gulf those days shared the same happiness as i did. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I
really don’t know when I stopped, but when I come to think about it now. I feel
it was the best moment of my life, when I earned something for all the hardships
I went through to posses them. I wouldn’t have been so happy about my goodies
if it came to me effortlessly. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

still have the walk-man but i lost all the others. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: red;"><i>An
instance which happened when I was 6 years old. On an October weekend my
parents set out with me and my sister to the Gold souk (Arabic market), with
our usual circle of family friends. Almost all the expatriate Indians in Dubai
those days had a common place to hang out. It was the gold souk; No matter how
many countless times they have visited this place for years, they never got
bored of it. They kept coming back week after week to check out the new designs
in the jewelry stores. For our parents, buying gold was like buying
groceries. On one of those window-shopping
occasions, my mom as usual was super excited about the dazzling gold hung in
the shop display windows. </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i><br /></i></span>
</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: red;"><i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: red;"><i>My friends and I played on the escalators and the fountain
outside. Playing on the escalator was one of our fun sports. For us trying to
go up on an escalator that was meant to go down was more entertaining. Then we
shifted to an upgraded game of playing on the fountain wall. The game was to
balance yourself on the thin fountain wall and in walk full circle around it,
without falling into the water or on the pavement. I believed it was risky and
only the brave could do it. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: red;"><i>By the time all the gold discussions were over and when it
was time to leave my mom realized that I was missing. They hysterically started
searching for me. My sister and best friends wept their tears out over the
distressed situation of me being lost. I am still not quite sure why they cried;
was it because of their tremendous love for me or simply because they were
scared of being blamed for my loss. However, after a lot of howling and crying,
they found me walking the souq with an Emirati Lady - clinging to her hand. I
still have no clue how I got into her hands. Was she a good lady who wanted to
just console a child in distress by helping her find parents? Or was she a mean
lady who kidnapped kids? Either ways, the lady told my mom that she found me
standing alone glaring at the glittering gold shop. (Guess I too had a secret
flair for gold somewhere hidden inside me, like all mallus).<o:p></o:p></i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: red;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: red;"><i>According to my mom’s tearful story, I wasn’t even crying. I
am sure she was upset about it but at the same time glad that I wasn’t treated
badly or tortured. However over the years my mom managed to add enough colour
& spices to her tearful story, which she knew she would narrate it for the
rest of her life. Well… my mom really did justice to the story and she still
keeps it alive even after 20 years and I see a potential of it running house
full for another 20 plus years.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

every piece of gold they own has a story to it!!!<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

I’ve learnt from my experiences that time is the biggest healer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I really think about it, I’ve come to realize that the life-altering problems that I faced a few years back are not important anymore. At that point of time, it was probably the worst crisis of my life. However, now they seem silly. In short, all the smug, self-satisfied, self-titled ‘philosophers’ were actually right when they all repeated the too often quoted cliché about time being the ultimate healer.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As I grew older, on the occasion of a new crisis, I’ve learned to pause and reflect on my circumstances.If you really give the impression of looking at it on a more realistic level, it is not often possible to put it into practice, but at least it allows ‘time’ to take over and ease the situation. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A few years back when I was working at a University, I remember attending a seminar which was absolutely irrelevant to my job and the topic was nowhere close to the major I’d graduated in.The only reason why I gate-crashed the seminar was just to kill some supposedly quality working hours and at the same time keep up the pretense of being hard at work. Sometime during the seminar, I heard the professor say<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>“we must LEARN, UN-LEARN & RE-LEARN’’</u>. I’m sure he was referring to it on the basis of his topic – International Business. Meanwhile I was busy in my thoughts. Something about those words stroke chord in my mind</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As far as my thoughts were concerned, I was able to draw up a self explanation. I elaborated in my mind that as human beings, from the moment we are born,to every waking moment of our daily life, it is all about learning new things. Eventually at some point of time our brain fills up with so much of information that it reaches a phase where its capability of accommodating more learning is questioned. As a natural process the brain re-configures by classifying, recovering and recycling to make itself more legroom. Recent studies have shown that in reality, the human brain forgets nothing. However, this is also altered by old-age, certain diseases and other brainy factors. The list might be long, which only a medical professional could explain. However, my point is that our brain is naturally designed in a way that it automatically Learns, Un-learns and Re-learns. It’s just like a biological version of a Hard disk and a Random Access Memory (RAM) of a modern computer. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This made me think, if the human brain is biologically capable of doing such things automatically without having us to order it around, then isn’t it possible for the human mind to make a conscious effort to implement such process into our daily life on a whole new level mentally? After all, we human beings are known for being the prime species on earth solely due to the capability of our brain and mind.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We can make everyday a new experience to learn from. Learn and understand our good and bad deeds from our problems. By correcting and unlearning from our bad deeds, we eventually make space to re-learn to open up new ladders to climb high.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I figured that if we made a mindful effort to do so, we can employ this natural method into our life. Although,this thought about implementing & employing it into our daily life is an entire new way of looking at positive signals in life, it doesn’t seem practically very easy. No matter how inflexible it is, at least it helps me be a critic of my own line of action. It’s all very easy to say this, but what I’m doing is still a far cry from what I should be doing. It will probably take a lot more time and experience to really do what I know I should be doing. </span></div></div>Prinzie Rajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15051643116627811628noreply@blogger.com0
