Rishabh's Story

That night Rishabh cried with words of his life. His voice could not find the direction of his words because they were creating an impact in every letter. Samira surrendered herself to that moment when he began narrating what had happen to him.

“I love my sister, I love my mother and then I do not know what loving everyone is about. This huge telephone bill will tell you that I am not comfortable with people I meet. I share when they cannot see me because it keeps me away from embarrassment.

Father is busy whenever is not home and he is never home. He showered his love once when I was with him and we were together never before. He met his business partner’s wife and they both exchanged smiles. I saw him smiling for the first time. He turned his head and then I could not see that smile anymore. I was left alone with that lady who was as old as my mother.

I was ten when she tried doing something uncomfortable and all I knew that it was uncomfortable. I was not just physically weak but even mentally to understand the thing that was happening to me. I did not know the meaning of right and wrong and I did not know if this uncomfortable thing is termed as ‘wrong’. It was her touch that made me unreasonably cry- Unreasonably because what made me cry before was never this. It was not my mother’s shout; it was not my teacher's punishment for not doing homework.

It was someone touching me and that uncomfortable feeling was making me cry.

Next day I saw my father standing where I was. That day I saw him smiling for the second time in my life.

I love my sister, I love my mother and then I do not know what loving everyone is about.”

Note: Today Rishabh(name changed) is one of the successful entrepreneur's of India. His only wish was to protect his sister and give some peace to his mother. He has fulfilled his responsibilities.

Simplicity of Life

I look at life with an enthused spirit waiting to pour its energy on worthy things. Life is an endless journey which has its own way of accompanying my wandering soul. I meet some people who hold my hand & they decide to walk with me. These people & their stay in my life I cannot foresee. Life for me is living in the present, cherishing what I receive ‘now’ from people & things.

There are things that I do not need & there are people, who do not need me. There are words which we remember the whole of our life & there are words which we know are not worth registering.

I sleep peaceful nights because within my body lies a soul which is pure in its thoughts. I wear a face of true smiles because within me lies blessing for human beings.

Some relationships talk too much to understand if the base is strong or weak.
Some relationships go quiet because they have their own reason which is seldom communicated.

Best form of love is expression of the feeling you have towards someone. Love is love when it shows on the face & speaks in silence. Love is love when all attempts are made to convey the good intentions & it fails with no outrage for the person involved.

Life does not stop love whether there’s a busy life ahead, whether there’s someone’s absence, whether there are too many things at that time to think about.

And love does not stop life because life goes on whether there’s love, hatred or simply plain ignorance.

If you find some people selfish, some fake, some jealous, some weird, some cheap, some rude, some noisy, some lazy, some talkative, some messy, some political. Just chuck it! That's their comfort in living life; that’s the choice they have made. Life's simpler when we accept these facts than investing our time in finding answer to the Why’s. Life’s best lived when we least concentrate on the wrongs of people who least matter to us.

You will feel most light hearted at the end of the day when you know you have not been impolite to anyone in the whole day. From the cabbie and security guards to your juniors, colleagues, and needless to say your superior; from strangers to your friends and family.

You will feel most strong at the end of the day when during the most discouraged and humiliated day, you find power within you to constantly motivate yourself that very moment of humiliation. When you realize complaining is only poisoning your strong mind on which you worked on for years to make it this tough.
