fear!

"There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings."
said Dorothy Thompson, the "First Lady of American Journalism".
Fear is an emotional response to threat , danger n disgusting things!
There may be many phobias which are frightening in numbers but no one can claim to have them all.
as far as i am concerned,fear has to be in ones system but not too overwhelmingly.Neither can a person with fear of everything nor can a person with no fear at all be called normal!
I am frightened about many silly things like cockroach, lizard(i have had nasty experiences with it)and few serious things like my exams,my future and many other things like- whether or not will i reach my goal ! but i don't allow all these to barge in my mind when it comes to the present.(who cares about those exams, if its not going to be held tomorrow !)
fear cripples one faster than any other implement of war!!!!
a very common fear among all of us is fear of ghosts,darkness and related things...
i used to get goose bumps when i thought about it.but only until i heard about how Sri RamakrishnaParamahamsa
used to enjoy darkness.he used to consider darkness as goddess Kali and would find it extremely peaceful to meditate in darkness it seems!
Many people think of security instead of opportunity n a humor is that they seem to be more afraid of life than death.
so what i mean to say at the end of all this is -nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
i am not saying that one should never have fear. u can have it but u should never get frightened about it!
heheheha!!!!! have a scary night!

Beautiful Rain

"hey come out and enjoy!"said me to my sis,totally unperturbed of my mother's yellings at me for getting drenched in the rain.
It was late summer and the rain clouds had already crowded in the sky,showering pearl like water drops on the earth.
Along with the trees i too rejoiced in the rain.
The sweet smell of wet mud rubbed my nose after a long time.none of my cousins joined me at that heavenly moment,fearing that they would catch cold.All alone i enjoyed myself by standing with my eyes closed,it felt like as if i was on top of the heavens.
The music of the rain along with the rhythmic sounds of thunder seemed like rock music to me but suddenly i heard a baritone voice calling me just like the one of Shaggy.
Excited by it i opened my eyes to see my brother ,peeping at me through his anti glare coated glasses.Mistaking him to an UFO with square green eyes, i screamed and ran away before i could realise that i had been dreaming.

Childhood Memories

Through the childhood history lane my memory starts walking again.i smell the sweet fragrance of morning blossoms again.those were the days of sweet innocence,which i regret losing with sense. ignorant of the dirty cruel minds of humans around me ,i found this world a bliss to live in.childhood days were really great with all kind of pampering from every kind of people, things would be taken care by somebody with me living a carefree life.
All i had to do is to blabber some A- B-C-D for a thunderous applause.No diet,no restriction whatever you want you can get it with just a small melodrama of crying aloud(which you cant do in the name of decency nowadays) . Just a small hug and kiss would do to make all my sisters and brothers give me their toys.so easy life was then.but now i am a grown up devoid of childly pleasures ,my knowledge about this world has jeopardised my innocence .I am made into a witty,self centered girl who no longer believes in her childhood fantasies.
blame it on the world and its damn people!
