Life
Life is so very unpredictable and filled with shocking happenings causing harsh realities which you never bring yourself to accept. And yet it goes on as usual, as though nothing at all happened! All those wonderful, happy, fun-filled memories which you always knew you would have cherished for a lifetime suddenly become just that - just memories to cherish -, when you least expected it to happen. You know you will never get those good old days back ever again and that’s what is constantly there on your mind. Yet there are moments when that realization strikes you in full blow and that’s when it upsets you all the more and the pain and sorrow is back in full form. Life is good only when there is a balance between the amount of happiness and sorrow it gives. It isn’t easy to move on with life when it keeps showing its cruel side often and continues to give shock after shock.

The funny thing people could be going through hell - I mean HELL & yet somehow the world looks so normal. The sun raises, the wind blows, the leaves sway as usual. That singular fact has prevented me from accepting God.

Let me arise and open the gate,
to breathe the wild warm air of the heath,
And to let in Love, and to let out Hate,
And anger at living and scorn of Fate,
To let in Life, and to let out Death.

Rukesh,
I sent my sons to the concert. It was held in such a faraway place that it took three hours for them to reach the place. They had Rs.1000 ticket and told me that the sound arrangement was horrible (to say the least) as it didn’t reach the crowd at Rs.1000 area at all.
It is an insult to the great musician to hold such concerts which do not give satisfaction to people who travels many kilometers to listen to him. I am talking about the organizers here. They should have made proper arrangements so that the people could enjoy the concert - after all it is of someone who has won two Oscars for the country!
Rahman also should now become wary while accepting these concerts and should only do so after knowing about the complete arrangements so that the last fan who comes there paying even Rs.50 goes back totally satisfied.
What to do? Life is like that only (have I brought the subject of the post into this reply?)

“The funny thing people could be going through hell - I mean HELL & yet somehow the world looks so normal. The sun raises, the wind blows, the leaves sway as usual. That singular fact has prevented me from accepting God.”
ironically, it is that singular fact that make others believe in God. Ultimately it is what WE Believe
@sathyamurthy
Exactly. the sound effect wasn’t really good, though that didn’t bother me much. enjoying such a concert with other crazy rahmaniacs is something that we cant express. concert after concert almost same track list, and yet we go to each concert. thats what it means to us, right ?

Sathyamurthy…
Thanks for sharing your comments. Infact it is the same i heard from 4 of my colleagues. They were utterly disappointed with the arrangements and location…
This should be an eye opener for ARR in not comprising the standards and quality.
Cheers,
Rukesh D

PrasadC,
I know! Nothing at all changes!
Rukesh,
I didn’t go for the concert
Sangs,
Down in the dumps would not even be enough to describe what I was/am going through
Prem,
Welcome to my blog! (Not sure if you are the same Prem who had commented for the previous post) Nice lines!
Vijay,
Hmmm
Srinath,
>>ironically, it is that singular fact that make others believe in God. Ultimately it is what WE Believe
True!
Sriram,
Though we don’t have any option other than leaving everything at His feet, it is still not possible to not get upset when something bad happens.

hmm.. i thot i am the one in greater depression than US!!! All these tragic experiences has made me believe that there are no miracles.. no happily ever after endings.. no karma which justifies the sorrow.. since we’ve always been conscious of doing good..
Its is total randomness and coincidence which determines our path of life!!
hima on 15 Oct 2009 at 9:06 am #
randomness as in… there is no such stuff like good things happen to good ppl and vice versa.. u just get punished randomnly
Coincidence as in.. where you are and whom you meet can change the entire course of your life

“randomness as in… there is no such stuff like good things happen to good ppl and vice versa.. u just get punished randomnly”
Amen to that. I cannot seem to reconcile an omnipotent GOOD god with this fact :(. I hope I can in the future.
