Uneven realisation

Each day is a new start....unbelievable things happen and you do not realize that you are actually leaving yourself much behind to pursue the future. I named this post as uneven because I am still groping in the dark to untangle the knot in my mind.

Why doesn't a person realize when he or she is harming his or her future? When we are in the present either we decide without knowing its future implications or we commit by impulsive mode of character. Only in the future do we go ahead and look back to find that half of the life that we have spent, has been wasted. Its in human nature to work hard now to reap the profit later but in the din of the present day we do not realize that the most precious moments are the ones that we are spending now. The future depends on the present and the present on the past. Its like a tree that grows its shoot, then branches and then the leaves. Each part of the tree is dependent on the other so is each phase of our life dependent on the other.

Its very very human to make mistakes but as it is said "as you sow, so will you reap", our mistakes do not leave us. Yes, but it is prudent to move on in life. It is one single life that God has given and therefore the utilisation should be perfect else we keep paying the price for it. A rotten present is detrimental to a secure future. However once we get a grip we succeed in pulling ourselves together. It is necessary to see ourselves from the eyes of another. It helps to judge impartially.

I do not find any clarity of thought or a stream of consciousness in the way I wrote all this but I admit that this is a caricature of my realisation that life plays all sort of games......its on us to decide whether we be the player or the spectator.

Just Like That

It has been more than a month that i have actually tried or thought about writing a post. I thought about changing the way I think while writing. I mean why only finance and fun???? I can always go ahead write things that are happening all around us.

Shall I talk about my hometown? Kolkata is a wonderful place, the city of joy, warmth of people, the bengali rosogollas etc etc. However, many would not admit the coarser version of the same city. The atrocious drainage which leads to flooded streets during monsoon. There is a major part of the population who survive on the pavements. Nobody has ever thought about a shelter for them. During the monsoon floods, these people face the most severe crisis. Why only them? Talk about people living in concrete houses, they are restricted to their beds sometimes just because water has oozed into the ground floor of the construction.

Since the past (God knows how many) few years the corporation has been correcting the problem. However we still do not see any proactive solution to it. Only after three days of severe water logging and incessant rainfall, bringing the politicians down on the streets, the Govt. used their pumps to suck water out of the city.

The effects were not limited. Broken streets, damaged houses, transport problem, dirt, all together made the city look like a newly formed junkyard. Thats how the Govt has planned our future and these are the aspects we bank upon. How safe is the future.....our present decides it.

So now its on the concerned people who has to either let go or save our lives.
