The Crescent Castle

Hello readers

 

Hope all of you are doing good.

 

There are friends, and there is a family, and then there are friends who become family.

These times which we are going through are may those rare situations in our life where we have spent the maximum of our day at home!

 

We have actually got a drift of the life of homemakers.

 

I have understood that it is not a cakewalk, it is actually a challenge, and for all the household work, which is done, there is no pay!

 

The only thing which we can give them in return is our compassion, love and respect.

 

Just turning some pages in the book of history, there were times where a fort practiced to define the security of a colony or maybe we can call it a kingdom.

 

 A signal from a watchtower that there was a chance of intrusion, which would be confirmed later by the apparent symptoms of an invasion. The first course of action by the army was to close the doors of the fort.

 

The strength of the fort would define the power of a kingdom.

 

Transcending from those times to modern times, do forts still exist?

 

Maybe we all think, they do not, but there are still forts which are ubiquitous.

 

How can I comprehend my statement? How can I be so sure that garrisons are so common, abundant, and global?

 

We are all protected by some forces, and people let me explain:

 

When you are born, your soul becomes existent along with your body, and a personality is born, which defines you, that is your first shield or protection, you are fortified by our character.

 

Why is it the first? For a simple reason, the body and soul go hand in hand, and your soul stays with you until the end of your life on this earth, you would have heard this before, they address a dead man as "body", the reason being there is no soul in that body, it is now entered a new body.

 

Ego, people say it is a dangerous aspect in a person's life, the ego can kill you, the ego can eat up a person and turn him into a Satan.

 

But, there is a threshold of ego which should be present in each one of us, I tell you it is essential to have the personality in you, let us call it good ego which should help to guide in the right path and should stop there.

 

If that ascends into a super-ego  it is good because super-ego is the maturity of your mind to look at things in a ethical way and we value others, but ego can make you a narcissist,if you become one then , you would just be alive, and there would be no life in your living.

 

After soul, the next most protective shield in your life is  your mother, we call mother to this earth, and we see her as the best symbol of forgiveness, across all species which are present on earth, she imbibes qualities which are noble and wise.

 

Wolf families are considered the second most empathetic in the world, first place goes to elephants (Courtesy google images)

 

In the ancient language of Sanskrit, there is a quotation called 'kshmaya Dharitri' which means have patience like earth.

 

The earth has taken so many misdeeds of we humans, but it has forgiven us and allowed us to live. Similarly, your mother withstands and sustains all the mental injuries you cause her in your anger, in your pain and sadness yet welcomes you with a smiling face.

 

That is the grace of your mother, she is the only person who can do that, that is the bond which exists between you and your mother.

 

A father too is equally complementing and has the grace, so these two people in your life are very unique, immaterial of how you treat them, they are the same with since the day you were born. They remain the same until their end if you feel they changed its actually you who has changed not them, meditate on this thought, I think you will come to an agreement with my statement. 

 

Of course, there is this bitter fact that there are bad parents too in this world, me being an optimist, only hopes, we can change them into a new leaf with our love and some right words each day.

 

So, can we now say that there are forts which exist in this world, and can we name that fort as "family" a "brotherhood." a beautiful "friendship."? 

 

Please respect, protect and believe in your parents, if you are lucky you might be blessed with equally loving siblings, yes, I would definitely say only if you are fortunate! And few beautiful friends who are real angels who are selfless and unconditional and help you and comfort you when you most need it.

 

The castle is now complete!

 

It is up to you to protect, love and respect this fort now, which is always ready to protect you.

 

In every conceivable manner, your family is the link to the past and the bridge to your future.

-Maatie Kalokoh

 

 There are the only people who know to accept you the way you are and who love you unconditionally for what you are.

 

Thanks a lot for your time.

Care

Hello reader

This is apparently the last blog for 2017. A new year brings new hope to us and lets us make the best out of it.

The word “care” is very important in our lives.

The origin of this word is actually from nature, you know we all would  not have existed without the care of nature it has helped us to survive and protected us and helped to evolve and here we are today the homosepians “tagged as the most intelligent species in the world”.

Life is a bucket of experiences if your bucket is empty it means you are still inexperienced and you need to fill your bucket so that you can wash the dirt and clean your car of mistakes and transform it into the sparkling automobile of hope and positivity.

When I compare other species with our own, we are too much dependent on our parents for a longer period, than animals who are pushed out of their families to lead an independent life and the newborns build their own families and this cycle continues.

With the idea of civilization, the possibilities for survival are infinite and that is the reason we have sustained our lives so well and marked footprints on the moon.But at the same time we marked some dark footprints on our own earth by becoming too selfish and going on just rampantly extinguishing lives and ecosystems in the name of agriculture, urbanisation, well I agree I am hypocritical here as even I am no cave man who is living in some lonely jungle doing minimum harm to environment, but at least I try not to over-exploit nature.

Why is care so much necessary in this modern society? Actually, it is one of the most important aspects that is needed today.

Have we realized there is a reason behind why criminals are existent why people end up in making a life of darkness and enjoy sadism?

The true responsibility of a parent is not to fulfill the wants of their children it is actually understanding their desires and helping them  to achieve their dreams  rather than following the prototype or the stereotypical way of living  in phases.

What care can do is actually amazing it builds a bond which can never be broken, if you love your child without expecting any results, that child will always grow to be the most mature individual according to me, because he feels so secure and does things at free well, which will help create wonders.

There are numerous stories where there lived great people , but their childhood was bad or sometimes ill-treated by parents.for them I would bow in respect because , they were s9 futuristic and they learn the meaning off their lives at a tender age.

But we forget that they would have had some guardian angels who always were there to help them and keep their hopes flying high.

The soldiers who protect this nation day in and day out without any break, that is care they take care of all our mothers, only because they consider their country as a mother,according to me they are the true sanyasis' of this time they are true karma yogis.

Let us try to take care of people around us and be their beam of hope.

Trust is like paper once it is crumbled, it can never be perfect.

Love and being Loved.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing fine.

Let me start the article with a question, which are those words which we feel warm when you perceive them.

I will name a few: happiness, rain, flowers, nature, vacation and last but not the least I would say love.

Yes actually that is the expression in discussion today ‘Love’. Do you know the USA generates more than a trillion dollars on gifts which are given to express love?

Amazing isn’t it, but still why are there some alarming numbers of divorces which are happening and the rosy hearts are become dry and left with thorns of loneliness?

My second question would be do we all really understand the meaning of love? This would a discussion I would like to put across to all my dear readers, In the following paragraphs I will put out my perspective, I would like to know from you through comments what you think , so here it goes..

Well I don’t want to start with stereotypical way putting things, like love came from this Greek word and so on, we all know what is love, just for the record let us recollect, it is a strong feeling of affection towards someone or something. Someone may be your lover, parents, siblings, relatives your friend or your pet, irrespective of all the persons and the animals mentioned above the meaning of love remains the same.

But what we lack in this vertex of life is that we lose track of reality and end up in illusions and that is time where they forget the meaning of words like happiness and love.

There are many people who are behaving like fools, and I am sure we are noticing them daily and sometime feel surprised by the way they are behaving, I have seen people close to me say they are  so relived their wives are not there today, some have said they have hit a jackpot! And exclaim by saying their parents decided live separately? I am not exaggerating a thing these anecdotes have happened with me as an bystander.

So what is secret of loving someone and being loved? To be frank there is no secret I tell you love is a feeling which is connected to your deepest of thoughts and it is almost sub-conscious, pardon me I am telling you what we see in the movies is total crap that you saw someone and you hear people playing the fiddle and there! You are in love. Very sorry it is just a marketing aspect of that movie for the producers and directors to make some quick bucks which will be their return on investments, I agree we do not take the movies seriously but, unfortunately our sub-conscious is pre-programmed to store thoughts and put it into action If you keep on repeatedly seeing or listening to something, So it is not your mistake if you think well “ that is the way I need to fall in love and get married, the process is totally involuntary”

The Intimacy

Love is actually a very intimate feeling and the people who are love in definitely  don’t  advertise this fact to the whole world.

So now just think about all the people who were bragging about their ‘so called love stories’ which is either just bunkum or made up?

Love is a universal language there are  no differences..

You think there is a need to make up stuff on these type sensitive incidents which define a person, I would say yes because there are people in this world who are not being loved for their own faults, but just to satisfy their own ego and make themselves feel that there are normal, they may do this if that is the case I feel sorry for such people they would need some help.

There are also people who are being loved, but they do not give back the love to the people who deserve that love. I would call these types of people arrogant and foolish, a mother will definitely love her son or daughter and if the son or daughter does not know how to spring that love back then they have understood the purpose of life.

There is another theory in Indian philosophy that there are certain potentials of which you possess  are dogged by  the deeds that you have done in your previous birth what is called the Karma and reincarnation; though I do not buy this discussion totally I give it the benefit of doubt.

We can almost understand the true meaning of love practically almost only by very few people like your mother, father and the pet dog, yes it is a bitter truth the rest of the world would love you for something in return, agree I am generalizing it but as I told you at the start of my discussion this is my perspective. The people who marry and say they need a divorce and the college folks who like to have a break-up every six months don't even know what is ardency and they are not serious in what they do again spoilt by their environment and their weak character.

Being in love is actually the best of feelings one can have in life at the same time when you are in this phase you will learn to wait, develop patience, learn to become selfless and sacrifice your likes and all these are done only for staying in that feeling called love.

 Being loved or you loving anyone is a virtue, spread the feeling around you and try to make this world a better place.

“The most precious feeling in if life is the feeling of being loved by someone”
