Keeping heads (Part 1)

Okay,

1. All views are personal.

2. All critics are welcome.

3. This issue is multidimensional. Nothing is completely true nor wholly wrong.

4. This is going to be long. So I divide the matter into 3 posts.

It's June 14, 4:30 pm, and my head is flooded with questions, some usual, some unusual. My heart and brain seem to be in a serious discussion. They are dealing with the queries themselves.

Why is it that we manage to survive the thunderous storms and avalanches of life successfully, only to be eaten up by the beetles of worry and 'depression'? 

Wait, did I mention success? 

Happiness? Sadness?

Can we really put these into words?

Aren't these only states of our own mind? 

Some sort of a happening may be success for you, but a failure for me at the same time.

You can choose to hold your head when all about you are losing theirs.

It has been said that nearly all of our worries and unhappiness come from our imagination and not from reality.

If you ask me, the consequences of any, any misfortune cannot be as fatal to trade your whole life with it.

 No, we don't actually hold the permission.

जिन्होंने सजाए यहाँ मेले..

सुख-दुःख संग-संग झेले...

वो ही चुनकर खामोशी,

यूँ चले जाए अकेले, कहाँ?

ज़िन्दगी कैसी है पहेली, हाय

कभी तो हँसाए, कभी ये रुलाये...

Redundant, isn't it?
