Pondering Over a Thought.

aveekoiqbalneep

Thoughts are a factory in their own. They manufacture, they produce and they ship and deliver the goods on their own whim and fantasies. They can skip and dance and twirl around our mind with flexibility of a rubber string and twist and turn like loop s in our DNA. Pondering over thoughts is a very lull business which brings only slumber. Those who don’t have any work and can’t mind their own business, are the ones who prosper in it. So much is there to learn, write, read and understand, but the mysteries of the mind are so deep, that they are more interesting than any other scientific discovery and invention.

Mind is like a blank machine. If you pour thoughts of anything like money, love, health, prosperity, doomedness in your mind, then you are sure to be worth of a dime to a nickel with the time spent behind your marvellous and wonderful thoughts. Many people don’t need to earn money, as their life is set with thoughts and in their factory of thoughts, they can manufacture such glorious thought products and ride the horses which run such a machine. It is the process of selection and connection. Money is an easy and automatic flow to them. It is based on the action of choosing, which is processed based on the needs,deeds and the lust of the mankind.

Thoughts worth pondering, are discarded into the metallic dustbin, while those which are to be discarded are kept in the lockers with high voltage safety. The level of precaution and safety with which a mother takes care of her small baby, is the level in which a thought ponderer stores his or her thought. Like a dessert chef, they keep on turning and churning, the whole glunk of thoughts. Sometimes fumes come out of it, sometimes, good dishes, sometimes plain nonsense. Be it day or night, they keep on doing their business minding no one and nobody. Truthfully, it is a damn good business, worthy of each and every penny. The only downside is it doesn’t pay any real dough. Only brings downfall and leads to unevenness mentally and physically.

Pondering over most of the thoughts is a very risky business. Be it good or bad, being in the self is what matters the most.

Phew! What a Thought!

Ma made tea.

aveekoiqbalneep

Ma made tea and brought it in a cup, placed on a saucer. On that saucer she had kept two biscuits and with a certain blink in her eyes, she asked me to drink the tea.

I took a sip. It smelled of jasmine. I asked Ma-“Ma, how did you prepare this tea? There is a sweet aroma of Jasmine in it.”

Ma-“I have my own way of preparing it. The jasmine tea leaves are a new addition to it. It has a very rich taste.”

Me-“Yes, it does Ma.”

Soon before I could finish my tea, I had two more biscuits and have placed a demand to my mother, that from now onwards I want this same tea for morning and evening.

Ma smiled hearing demand and said –“Yes.”

Adios!

The Village Woman Who wanted To Buy A Television.

aveekoiqbalneep

Once, we were travelling to a distant city via car. On the way over there, the places are full of rural lives. At a juncture, we stopped our car and had sugarcane juice over there in tall glasses. The juice tasted wonderful.

At the opposite side of the juice center a woman was cooking and selling food. Ma and me, we went over to that shop.

 It was being run by a village woman and what attracted Ma was that she was making omelettes using a large and colourful ladle.  The village woman asked Ma-“Shall I pack two omelettes for you?”

Ma-“No,no I just had sugarcane juice to my fill.”

She-“Oh.”

She-“Where are you from?”

Ma-“From a distant city.”

She-“I have been living in this village since my childhood, I was born here.”

Ma-“ Do you manage this food outlet by yourself?”

She-“Most of the times. My son helps sometimes.”

Ma-“Where is your home?”

She-“Its nearby. I have a big cattle ranch and there are many cows in it. We also sell milk. The cows give us a lot of milk.”

Ma-“What does your husband do?”

She-“He’s a farmer. Yet he behaves like a city man.”

Ma-“Why do you say so?”

She-“He loves to watch cricket matches on television.”

Ma-“So? Everyone loves cricket.”

She-“But every now and then he would be crooning near my ears that if we had television set, then I could watch those matches.”

Ma-“ Don’t you have a television set at your home?”

She-“No.”

Ma-“Then where does your husband watch those cricket matches?”

She-“Near, the Panchayat office, there is a small room. All men have pitched in and given some money so that they can buy a small television set for watching matches. So I am saving money to buy a big television set and for my daughter’s marriage too.”

Ma-“That will lead to more people coming over to your house to watch on the television.”

She-” I would keep it off most of the times and during afternoon when everyone rests, I would watch old movies.”

Ma-“Does, your village have electricity?”

She-“Yes, nearly a year, electricity was given to the whole village.”

Ma-“Good. Pack two omelettes for us.”

She-“Hearing those words from Ma her face lit up and with those omelettes she packed two freshly made small breads for us. She didn’t charge her for the bread, but Ma gave her the payment for the bread too.

The village woman said-“This village is my life. My whole happiness lies in being here.”

Ma-“Good for you. Village life is simple, happy and wonderful.”

She-“Yes and nodded her head.”

Then we went back to our car and our journey resumed.

While travelling I thought that we have so many askings, but the village woman had few. She had also said that she needs to give her daughter’ marriage. Had she not been saving money to buy a television set, she would be free to pursue her dreams, celebrate her daughter’s marriage in a grand way and save more money for her pension and savings.

We ate those omelettes on our way and they tasted smooth, soft and beautiful. They smelt smoky and different with the bread.

Such is the journey of life.

I am at the sea.

aveekoiqbalneep

I am at the sea,

The fresh air is breezing at me,

Please don’t laugh O! Kind wind,

For it’s me.

The waves are dancing,

The flocks of birds are flying,

Had you seen my bar of chocolate,

Which I ate yesterday?

How could you? It wouldn’t be here.

Silly of me.

Never mind O! Good sea,

Be happy and let the ships sail safely,

For had it not been for you,

The lighthouses and the sea shore would have been empty.

Adios!

Simplicity.

aveekoiqbalneep

Simplicity is God’s boon. Those who are simple, simplicity simply oozes out of them.

It can’t be moulded, can’t be dented and can’t be sold for any amount.

Anything which doesn’t over burden you, maintains self-respect and discipline is simplicity in its mediocre form. In its highest form, there wouldn’t be the need to identify whether someone is simple or simply maintains it for the sake of society or as an act.

One never need to be told about simplicity. Its in our ecosystem.  It’s the first thing attracts most of us. An uncomplicated gadget, an uncomplicated ecosystem, a fresh and beautiful air, nice and clean, these things don’t need telling about twice. They simply are and will be, provided man doesn’t change them.

But people do often change. That’s the time when simplicity simply leaves them and they act even dumber than donkeys.

For example:- You can have a breakfast of bread and jam, but you choose to have such a breakfast where you need to gobble up four building sized burgers and three gigantic pizzas and after you do so, you have to lie down on your bed, as you wouldn’t be able to move even an inch and may even have to call the doctor.

One can have two pens in your pencil box, even three at the most, but pens are such lucrative objects wherein people often end up keeping five-six pens in their box or in their bags.

Money, greed and lust often drives a person away from simplicity.

It’s good to be honest, to strive hard, to work hard and with that if you have simplicity in your jewel box then nothing better than it.

Adios!
