Fugitive from Planet Earth

On the subject of 

#Seeking #happiness #in #death.

There is a school of thought that suicide is a cowardly act of someone who ceased to fight .

Not true about the ' cowardly ' part I think . It takes courage and strength to take natural laws into ones own  hands . Personally also i have experienced this at some points of time and came out short but the task to cut off the life force is a #super #human task .

When I try to extrapolate my thinking to that of the ' victim ' I feel it is so difficult to take that #final #step - the #last #moment when all is ended - the deal is signed , sealed and delivered .

That time would be so tormenting and possibly one of  desperation due to the impossibility to ' abort ' the mission ! 

The Mind is a strange place . I am not a psychologist and this is my lay man way of understanding 

BUT I believe that 

 The #courage #of #will, needed for suicide, #SHOULD be diverted to facing ones challeges 

No Heartbreak or disappointment 

Loss of some person , place or thing or no other darkness warrants seeking happiness in death.

Introducing Mr. Crow , an #old #friend #newly #found ! 

Gives a photo - op 

They are supposed to be ancestors keeping us company ! 

Since about a week ago he visits my terrace every morning, while I am, there gazing upon me,  as I potter around , doing his little dance steps on the railing .

Interestingly he never leaves without making contact either a tap on the shoulder or a flap on the ear as he flies low past me. 

One day when my back was turned on him he gave me nudge in my back ( making me spill my cup of tea ).

The crow represents change or transformation. But much more than that, it refers more to a spiritual or emotional change. These intelligent birds give us valuable insight into situations around us and help us adapt as needed.

Moment of Revelation

Wish to share a very personal incident -

Has it ever happened to you that , turning a corner in the road of life, suddenly , you find yourself doing something which .. er , um is astounding . I mean you end up ( to say the least ) impressing yourself ! 😜😜

Rare in my life so worth mentioning.

I was commenting on somones post on LinkdIn and caught myself writing 

" .... life is but a string of moments each one having the power to start a new flight path if you can defy the gravitational pull of inevitability ! "

Totally non premeditated and just in the flow......must say I have a great Ghost Writer.i don't know where they came from .

 Impressed though I say it myself  😊😊😊

Deja Vu !

There are times when

You meet someone new

But get the feeling

This one I always knew

Maybe an earlier lifetime

In a past forgotten age

We shared glorious moments

Now dates in a history page

It doesn’t take you long

To know the other deep

As it were you have awoken

From a long refreshing sleep

There are no formal silences

As in new friends conversations

How can there be formality

It’s only a continuation

Why have brakes ?

Extremely useful- please do read this 

As received from my friend Salil Dutt 

The answer will blow your mind... 

Someone asked, "Why do we have brakes in a car"?

Varied answers were received, like,

"To stop", 

"To reduce speed",

"To avoid collision" etc., 

but the best answer was, 

"To enable you to drive faster" 

Give it a thought. It's true but seldom such smart out of box thinking is done,  much less appreciated. 

For a moment assume you have no brakes in your car then how fast will you drive your car?!

It's because of brakes that we can dare to accelerate, dare to go fast and reach destinations we desire. 

At various points in life, we find our parents, teachers, managers, mentors, friends and spouse etc. questioning your progress, direction or decision. We consider them as irritants or consider such inquiries as "brakes" to our ongoing work and career. 

But, remember, it's because of such questions (and periodical brakes) that you have managed to reach where you are today. Without brakes, you could have skid, lost direction or gone astray or met with an unfortunate accident  !!!.  

Learn to appreciate the 'brakes' in your life.

Use them wisely...

Have a great time. 😊
