This story occurred in 2013 it was deepawali time and I was in Jaipur and especially in Jaipur, Rajasthan it becomes more eventful, so this time I decided not to pack my “Boriya Bister “for home and enjoy this beautiful festival in this beautiful city. All different kind of shops were full of lights, diyas and other things which attracted passers-by. People were excited and restlessly seeking for discounts, flat sales. One of the strange offers I noticed was “3 eggs free with 1 kg chicken” in one of butcher shop near Lal Kothi , Jaipur (I hope Flip kart will understand the meaning of Diwali offers before giving “big billion day” offer). So in this beautiful day I was walking on road to see the watchable things then suddenly noticed that one old man and his wife were shouting at each other. For me, it was as usual so I continued my enjoyable walk however, people as usual gather around to see the family drama. Surprisingly, it won’t last too long so our dear public continued their respective shopping.
The most important thing, I like about Diwali that though there is so much noise, the inner soul of mine remains innocuous. So, what happened next was I saw old couple again, this time on different path so I able to see them they were coming near to me and I was shocked they were still arguing and the moment they passed by me, the old man was saying ,” you ruined my 50 years of life. His wife was not shocked by that comment however I was.
A person after spending precious 50 years with someone would say like this …it feels life is nothing...whole life is meaningless. It’s not limited to marriage but also with love of life. It can be anything which you desire. A person who desires to be something deeply in life would know the importance of that moment when s/he achieves that thing however when that thing becomes futile…It really HURTS…
That old couple went past by me and in any corner of this world still they would be arguing…as they did not get what they WANTED or what they got was not ENOUGH(I am talking about happiness , don't think it in another way ;) ). I don’t know… but I know about life… "A journey which always starts as a destiny and ends as a history". You cannot mix them both. If you got what you want …it’s good…if not…very good… go ahead see yourself in mirror… you are good for something else.
This life is precious whatever you want in this life, be in to that thing completely..be faithful to yourself..I believe in one thing.. At least do one good thing which would be memorable to you and when your last day comes on this earth you would be happy that , that thing of mine in which I poured my whole life ...its done by ME.
Thank you.
