Optimism and hope for the future #lookup

The way you take it! I would like to tell another inspiration which I had experienced in my life.

As my daily habit of taking a jog at park in the evening. There are very interesting people around you. Few people smile back some greet as they know me by seeing daily. I never chatted with anyone there. 

One fine day while taking jog at park I found one interesting guy. He is in his early 20’s . I was tired after 10 round of Jog found a bench and sat next to the particular person. I just greeted him and sat next to him. I was just relaxing myself on the bench. 

I felt like I need to talk to him and introduced myself and so he did back. There was so much sadness in his face. I further gone ahead and stated to inquiry about him. Then he started his story.

He have job to distribute Newspaper in the morning, in the evening he will at any crowded area and distributing pamphlets. 

Well at that moment there was big question in my mind that such a waste of young energy.

I asked him “Kiran don’t you go to college?”  There was slight sad smile on his face. He explained that he was a School dropout. Previously he worked at a small hotel as waiter and now he is distributing paper. He is daily income is Rs. 200- 300. 

I did not spot there I was still interested to know his story “who all are in your family?”

“I live alone here came to earn money, my mother and sister who is still studying, both stay at village. Because of my father death our small farm taken away by the people who lend us money. We have no money to repay back even though it is not huge” I felt tears in his eye.

It was obvious that he came to earn money but my question was why did he left his previous job he could have continued that and could have earned good money and asked so.

Sometime by asking some questions we recall the bad memory, with great sadness he started “They blamed me for stealing money! I am ready to do anything but I did not steal the money. They few waiter were aware of my story one of the experienced waiter did and no one believed me. I had to quit from there as I cannot stop working. If I do then who will take care of me and my sister?” Now he completely broke in to tears, I was in no situation to tell anything, He continued “Now found this job where now I get some food and money, there are so many people like me starving daily, I am bit lucky”

I couldn't say anything to it. It was going to be little late and said “Sir, let me take a leave now. I came here just for a relaxation, Thank you for hearing my pain. I know now have nothing but I promised myself that one day there will be.”

I was really impressed by the person I met unexpectedly. I always thought I am the only one who struggling in life. By listening to this person I felt that the happiness in nowhere it is inside every one of us. We need to learn to get satisfied what we have and never lose the hope.

Optimism in life is important, when you add hope to it then there is nothing can stop you from achieving your goal. Always #lookup in life.

LOOK UP TO INNOVATION & OPTIMISM

Ramayana – The Game of Life Shattered Dreams Book 2

Shattered Dreams is the second book in the series after the best seller The Rise of Sun Prince.

The Game of Life Shattered Dreams is not only about the Indian mythology Ramayana but it is all about how Ramayana epic is connected in our daily life.

This book enlightens how to manage the turn-around positively, it instructs us to handle temptation, courage to handle the toughest situation. This is purely a complicated family drama, which provides penetrations on how human relationships work and how they fail.

In the Modern world nuclear family era we always have big dreams and sad lives. Shubha Villas beautifully narrated the Ramayana not only that he interrupts the story to enlighten the reader in every step.

As generally all people know the epic Ramayana here I would like review book in my thoughts.

Shattered Dreams take you through the various emotions in the characters, each page gives the nice background of every emotions attached towards the character and scene. The insights in every page will help reader to analyse and related the epic to the day to day life.

Book starts with the nightmare. Dasaratha was worried about his people, he wanted to have peaceful country even after he leave the world. And who fulfil his dream?

Takes you all the way Ayodhya. When I was kid I always liked to watch TV serial Ramayana My thoughts refreshed all the way. At that time I had no idea about the lesson hidden in the story. After going through the Shattered dreams the epic and the inspirational insights of Shubha Villas, Indian Mythology made another place in my thoughts.

How anyone can afford to sacrifice their comfort zone? Only possible when you love someone without conditions. Princess Sita choose to support her husband. Can pain is avoidable? In author words-

 “Physical pains are many times unavoidable, but mental suffering is always discretionary. When one voluntarily chooses the path of pain, he anesthetizes himself from mental suffering.”

Show the courage in what you feel right. Logically decide what is good in life in author words-

“Many have the fortune of knowing what is right, but few have the guts of doing what is right. The courage to do what is right shudders at the pain in doing it.”
