I think I am becoming to sensitive to his health and writing too much about his health than his thoughts at this moment. Someone called me up and told me that I am going too personal on the blog. Am I? May be, but I never expected many people to come and read these stuff as they are my own personal expressions. Since I dont do much of writing these days, it gives lot of comfort for me to pen down my thoughts on the blog. When I write them down, my feeling and anger comes down and hence I feel at ease and comfort. One should not treat my writing as anything maligned or against anyone. Blogosphere is a world where one has freedom of expression and can pen down all his thoughts. So nothing to feel offended if I have brought names to the blog. These are my personal views and they may be biased also.
OK, todays lesson for me is based over some discussion I had with him last night before he went to sleep. He told me that all of are like frogs. He referred about some newspaper clipping he had read sometime back. He doesnt remember when he read this. I also didnt insist to know what source was it which made him to compare us with frogs.
It was somewhere in a lab in which they put frogs in water and after sometime they started heating the water. As the water became warmer, the frog enjoyed it and at somepoint of time, when the water was at boiling hot temperature, the frog could not come out of the water; there was no reaction and it died inside the water. Quite contrary to this when they put a frog in boiling water, it immediately jumped out of water (of course with few borns), but it could save itself.
Many a times, we also behave like the frog in the water. We try to make our own living so comfortable with our passion, beleifs and assumptions that we forget sometime about the time when the water will boil and we will not be able to come out of it. He is of the opinion that many people are successful in life when they could realize the boiling of water and at the slightest instance will jump out of the water, thuse saving their life. So its important in life to know about the water temperature, its slow process of boiling and the opportunity when one should jump out of the water. If you fail, then you will be dead.
He told me few more stories also, but I was feeling asleep due to tiredness and also its raining heavily. They are saying it may be flood again in Orissa as some of the major rivers have swollen to the height and water levels may cross the danger mark anytime. But I have hardly anytime to read a newspaper or look at the sky and think about anything beyond him. Orissa is always like this, sometime it rains heavily leading to flood and some years its draught and sometime cyclones and I dont know when the destiny of my people will change and Orissa will become a land of happiness and success. I dont know. I just pray that day comes during my life time and I see my place and people being happy.
Let everybody be happy in life. Let all anger, pain, sufferring vanish from this world.
