The mirror ....

What a surprised morning it was! I could not sleep again. Half the city was sleeping. In that morning I felt very unusual feeling that I never felt before in my life, it was so unusual, I cannot even term the name of that feeling. Everything looks unusual in that morning.

I saw the mirror which was hanging on my wall, very strange, I felt like it was calling me. Like he was whispering me something, a very important lesson of life. I was curious, and because of my curiosity I went to see the mirror. I turned my face towards it, I saw my face. What a disappointment, I thought, nothing special is there, and it is the same mirror I see every day. When I was just about to turn away from that mirror, I again felt as the mirror was whispering me something, though the voice was not clear.  

It was strange, and I felt little fear too. Since I was brave (ha ha) I stand in front of the mirror for few minutes and I was trying to understand what the mirror was actually trying to say me. When I looked deeper inside the mirror, I saw me. I saw my eyelid which tells about the things which is inside my brain, about the happiness and sadness.  After sometime, slowly I started understanding what the mirror was telling me.  

That day, the mirror, which was hanging on my wall, taught me a very important lesson of life, i.e. “Life is all about reflections of what we do and think”. When I smiled, the person inside the mirror smiled me back. When I frowned, the person inside the mirror also showed me the same frowning face. When I had doubt in my mind, the person in front of me also doubted at me. When I love, I get the love back.  When I trust, I get the trust back. When I hurt, I hurt myself more.

Now I regret by thinking, why I didn’t know this lesson before. Life is all about actions and reactions. I read it in spiritual books - about good karma and bad karma, and also read in my science paper - actions and reactions. I feel it is an universal truth. I believe the sufferings we get are because of few actions that we did in the past and happiness we get is also because of good things we did in the past. Forming a career, keeping a relationship, managing a company etc. is just like gardening in my home garden. The kind of fruit we get, the kind of result we get, is depend on the kind of seed we sowed. This is where the knowledge and wisdom comes into play, to assist us in deciding the right action which will lead us to get the right reaction/result.

Attempted fiction series - 1 (A stupid love story)

After long time I am visiting my blog, thinking of writing something here. But my mind is totally blank. Let me write something different, something new and something I never wrote before. But what shall I write?

Ok. Let me try to write a love story, a short love story; a fiction love story, very short one, about love at first sight. It sounds interesting! Isn’t it?

Story starts like this..... That day I had to visit State Bank, which is in Zoo Road, Guwahati. (Let me narrate like as it was happened to me, it will be easy for me to narrate).  In Guwahati, everything starts at 10:00 am, though sun rises here before 5:00am. As usual I reached before time; I had to wait for 30 minute. There is always benefit for coming early, I completed my task as soon as the bank was opened and rushed to my office. Unlike other working youths I don’t have any bike and therefore I always have to depend on city bus. In this summer season with temperature above 36 degree Celsius, you just imagine what would be the condition inside the bus. Yes it was horrible, and it was fully loaded too. I usually go to office before 9:00am when there are fewer crowds, but that day I had to go in that condition; the natural heat because of summer, the absorbed heat because of metallic body of the bus, and carbon dioxide excreted from the people that absorbed the maximum heat and also the body heats emitted from the co-passengers just made the place horrible. In such cases I always prefer to put my headphone on my ear with few mixtures of old and new songs that diverts my mind from that tragedy filled situation. But the only thing that cannot avoid is caring of my well polished leather shoe from stamped, if you ever have traveled in bus, you must be aware that the better you polish your shoe the bigger the chances to be stamped over it. 

Now let me come to the real story. Inside that horrible environment, suddenly I saw something, which I can say the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life. Yes I am talking about a lady, with pink T – shirt (her shirt was exactly not pink, but I don’t know how to express the exact color) and blue jean with very natural style. The funniest thing is when first time I saw her, she also found to be looking at me. I am sure, you are little confused, I mean our eyes were caught co-incidentally in perfect time. That makes her my most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life.   

If you are from India and you are familiarized with Bollywood movies, I am damn sure that you must be thinking like this, “I went near to her and there were two empty sits where we sat together, again co-incidentally, than we chatted.” But since it was not a Bollywood movie, nothing happened like that. What actually happened was, when I looked at her, when she looked at me we steal our eyes, I looked outside the door (I don’t know where she looked) and remembered about the book “Blink” where about the love at first sight is written, that once I had read in our library when I was in college. And I was concentrating to the song “ Bryan Adam’s - I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet”.  After few minute our bus reached Ganeshguri, my stoppage and finally I wanted to see her. When I was about to get down from the bus, I turned towards her, Oh Again! Our eyes were caught, I found she was also looking at me and her eye went down.

I am tired... Let this be the first part, and let me complete the second part another day.
