15th Oct....a perfect day

After a long and tiring day at office,me and my friend planned to visit a nearby Durga Puja Mandap.We both were hit by nostalgia and were really upset by the feeling of being away from home on such an important occasion of our life.
Durga Puja is celebrated widely all over India but predominantly in Assam,Bengal or Orissa.So being an Assamese staying at Mumbai it was difficult to gather that immense pleasure or excitement for the celebrations.But we managed to find a very famous Mandap at Vashi.
Although it was a huge area,there were scarcely much people around.The idol was 75 feet high,sparkling and radiating some kind of mystique energy such that we both were awestruck. We exchanged glaces and a wave of satisfaction quickly ran through our hearts.
It was a great sense of achievement for us.We were so highly devoted that we kept admiring the beauty of the idols for long with our hands folded and mouths sealed.

The added attraction was the numerous food stalls accompanying it, where delicious East Indian cuisines were available.We couldn't stop ourselves from having some tasty food.
It was just around 7pm and we had still ample of time to move around.We decided to go window shopping to a nearby mall.While on our way to the shopping mall we crossed the Assam Bhavan at Vashi.To our surprise we spotted another Puja Mandap there and we instantly got down from the auto.As we entered the Mandap, we noticed that the crowd was gathered near something.Out of curiosity we peeped in to discover our very own Bhupen Hazarika.
Many people might have heard this name for the first time but for Assamese people,he is a very prestigious personality.He is a very famous singer and people worship him for his contribution to the music industry.He was sitting on a wheel chair and was paying his regards to the crowd with his hands folded.Even though he looked aged,his eyes were sparkling and he seemed happy flashing a brisk smile at all.People were busy clicking photographs with their idol.It was great to see him after so long and that was like the icing on the cake.
We had a perfect evening and it was completely rejuvenating.
All thanks to Maa Durga for the serendipitous day.

Just by the way..................

One day one of my friends said something which I never realised earlier.He said he thinks that I am perfect in every way but it is rather a curse to me than a boon as I will rarely find anybody across the line standing with me.He said for this one reason I may suffer a lot emotionally.I laughed at first but later realized that he may be true.It was a unique aspect of seeing at a particular thing.It hurts when somebody hurts you time and again and say a lame sorry for each mistake they did.Well that's life, but is it really impossible to get good people around or may be we only remember the bad ones for the pain and acrimony they injected into our lives.
Forget and forgive is what I believe in and trust me it is really very difficult to believe.Forget the bad experiences and forgive people but everything has a limit.Tolerate everything to a point and after that just make it clear to yourself that even though the person seems to be apologizing he or she should learn a lesson and it is the best time to teach.

Time heals everything and yes it heals bad experiences,so we can just leave everything to the almighty and just do what our heart says.Well is it really that easy to follow your heart,actually not.We all must have experienced a moment when our heart wanted something but the situation turned out to be against our wish.We cant control everything with our heart,rather our heart,our emotions are all controlled by people around us.People who are near to our heart,people who love us,care about us and may be they are the same set of people who knowingly or unknowingly at some point of time hurt us and give us painful memories.So we should better focus on things which are under our control,things which we can achieve without being dependent to anything,be it people,place,emotions or time.

When you find yourself moving ahead in life and getting out of every bad thing that happened to you,then you will realize that you are growing matured with the years.Trapped in the past experiences will only give momentary feelings of happiness or sorrow.So get acquainted with changes ,it will make your life easier and nobody in this world has a predictable life so just stop worrying.Life brings changes for everyone in some way or the other and we should welcome it with great zeal.
Life.........I salute you.
