thought on wednesday !

Many a times we think about our past and grumble, because of some or the other excuses that we narrate, we could not achieve what we wished. Life becomes a trebling wheel between the past and future. The past reminds us the failures and the future m scares about the past and reminds the failures, just because we have not seen.
Many a times, at many places we read  and some say, everything in life is destiny and its the will of God the Almighty.  Intellect people argue that everything could be achieved in life, by dedication and will power. Now a days high profile trainers advertise with testimony of achieving the results of our destiny. One of the consultant where i was accompanying while traveling  had other view. He said we may be to intellect, have a will power and dedicated, planned etc we can just try our luck, but its the destiny that what makes what we are. We cannot raise our both legs in air and stand, Even if we try to stand on air by lifting both legs ........ off course we can try and realize 
I listened to a preacher, last week in an gathering. It was the end of the sermon and the preacher said, You might have lot of money and enjoying a good life with all luxury and some simple pain in the body and consultancy with the family doctor makes you feel that days are counted. Some times we even witness our self the people walking on the footpath are just smashed by the drunken driver. Some times life is just crazy and we have no control on it. 
 Many a times we put our self into so called performance measures for our own activities and try to do better and better ! Thats really a sarcastic. In work places we display the performance measures and advise  our subordinates saying "If you cant measure, then you cannot improve", when you can do it in a industry, off course you can practice in our own life and start measuring. Then  to achieve this targets we just keep working and working and forget to take rest and even smile. One of the biggest advice we take is to take some loan from banks to achieve our dream and they pay in installments. This installment becomes burden having its effect on the health...........
I sometimes think how the families have spent their time and work as a Joint family ? Was this an good culture ? an booster for relationship and  emotions ?. I share and remember when schools were used to close for summer holidays the joy of visiting relatives........... now vacation has no meaning unless its a paid trip to a unknow place to see unknow face to taste unheard food and just to put an artificial smile saying Wow taste was good, coz  at home nobody cooks !
