The Sculptor

By -
Okay, this segment starts like its some story. But, its not. Its just some crappy example.


A long time ago, there was a Sculptor. One day as he was crossing the forest, he came along a boulder, 10 feets long and an idea stuck him. He got that boulder transferred into village and started sculpting. Slowly and steadily, as the days passed, a Beautiful lady was sculpted out of it.
     And then one day, when the sculptor was just about to complete that art, a person came by. And what he said changed the sculptor's attitude of looking towards his own art. 
   He said, " You are sculpting this keeping in mind image of a lady and you are expecting your life to change with it,right?"
 The sculpter said:" Yes, my friend"?
 And that man continued " Even if you make a lady of it, in the end, its a stone. You cant change the basic nature of a thing just by altering its shape." 
FULL STOP.
Thats the end of story. It may feel abrupt but its in our hand now to think of a precise end to that story. The people who call themselves rational would complete the story with the sculptor giving some dashing answer to the man. While the people are utmost practical in their life will finish the story with the sculptor discontinuing the making of that lady.
   I dont know which end I feel is correct. But when this story came to my mind I felt the practical way more appropriate. People may argue that if we go by that thinking, there wont be any art in this world. But dont you think that if we need to think practically some time? Isnt it good sometimes to leave some things in the middle. I wonder the incomplete Stonehenge is an example of this story or what.

In a nutshell, is it really worth to put unnecessary efforts to things that you feel are not gonna work out. OR is it worth a go because you never know what will change at what time and everything can be possible?
These are the questions that linger back......May be its right to leave some things back just because they were stone cold.....but maybe...who knows destiny may change its course...Everything boild down to the same phrase: " To be or not to be....that is the question".

Adversity spawns Greatness

By Anonymous -
Thanks to the affluent society that exists today, our generation of kids are running behind inadvertant things on internet. We care more about our fb posts, whatsapp statuses, insta stories than about big real life issues. Thats leads to us being very dissatisfied with what we have. I came across an interesting piece of literature today. Its called Missing Tile Syndrome. All humans have a tendency to look at what we dont have. Maybe evolutionarily speaking, it is important to look at what we are missing from our life. But in today's world where almost al of our basic neccesities are fulfilled,we tend to find more of those missing tiles. And maybe thats why we dont live to the greatness we aspire to be. Because our generation knows no adversity. All we know is finding those missing tiles so much that we get the missing tiles syndrome. People who really have missing tiles in their lives have thus, a greater shot at achieving greatness than us. Think of kids with homologous Sickle c...

The Commitments

By -
There's this thing about Commitments.  They are known as commitments because they dont have any expiry date. What bothers me most is lack of people's courage to commit to something. Its something like  a give or take thing. You commit to something, you deserve a commitment in back. But its not always the perfect choice. Commiting to something is completely the individual choice, but what keeps me intriguing is: If someone is Commiting you something, do we have the moral responsibility to commit the same thing back? Or was it just his own choice to commit and that shouldn't mean any compelling behavior on the receiving party? This may sound insane or completely nonsense but thats what our life is all about...Give or take.

The Umbrella of Happiness

By -
We are not constantly under this hypothetical umbrella. At times, there are things which throw the whole world under this umbrella like this New Year while at other some things throw us out of the umbrella. The point is: We can never stay under this umbrella constantly.  We have to get out of it in order to enjoy our stay under it more. Sometime, We have to move out and get drenched in the sorrow pouring out of the umbrella and sometimes, life throws you out forcefully. What we need to realize that we arent going to be kept drenched out all the time. We will get under the umbrella someday. Today its their day, who knows tomorrow will be yours. Keep hoping and keep on striving to get under the umbrella. Adieu.
