Oh Human Beings!!!

Huuh! It's true! Human beings can never be satisfied. It's monsoon. It has been raining constantly for the last six days. The rhythm is not constant though! Sometimes its drizzle, sometimes its raining cats & dogs, sometimes its just not following any pattern. Kolkata got drenched & now she's underwater! Kolkata has become venice now! Haha!!! It seems the banks will provide boat loans instead of car loans! This is the present condition...
Few days back it was very very hot. With scorching sun & heavy humid evenings & nights, people got drenchd. but in sweat, not rain! I remember howmuch everyone craved for rain! Everyone waited for rain! But look at the condition now! When rain is here, it has come, drenhed & drowned us, people are waiting for it to go & are ready to welcome the scorching sun once again!
Some more days back, it was winter. Winter in Kolkata is unmentionable! Can dino ka mehman hai! We wait for winter to do justice to our woollens, Ma takes out old & discarded synthetic saris to make balaposh. Winter means whole lotta fun for us! Winter means mowa, notun gur, pithe puli! Winter means Christmas, fest, cakes! At the onset of winter, we say "uff sheet to porloi na ebar! Kolkatar sheet to!" Global warming! But when it starts getting cold we behave in a way as if we are in the north or south poles! Then, we wait for summers! Then atleast we don't have to shiver like this! Look forward to summer....The cycle moves on!!! Indeed, earth is round!
Yes, we are never satisfied with our present situation. We get happy when we get what we want but get bored soon! We want change. Either we are no satisfied at all or we get satisfied too easily! This is what makes human beings or homo sapiens stand apart from the rest of the species! They think, they want change & they bring changes without which our lives can never move on!

Why Women Cry?

One day, a young boy asked his mom."Why are you crying?""Because I'm a woman" she told him. "I don't understand ," he said.His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will, but that's okay." Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mom seem to cry for no reason?" "All women cry for no reason" was all his dad could say.The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry finally, he put in a call to God. When God got back to him, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?'' God answered, "When I made women, I decided she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet her arms gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will come, even from her own children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue, without complaining. I gave her sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances even when her child has hurt her badly. She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears. I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults, and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife but some times tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. For all of this hard work, I also gave her a tear to shed, It is her's to use whenever needed and is her only weakness." "When you see her cry, tell her how much u love her and all she does for everyone. And even though she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good." " She is special!"

I went spell bound after I read this. Isn't this wonderful? Even I find my Ma crying so many times & I thought she was having her "dukkhobilash"! But Ma, I love u. I can't thank you coz only thanx won't do & I'll never be able to pay back whatever u've done for me. I know u don't want them back.But still, Thanx a lot for all the things u have done for me & being my pillar of strenth, always. I love u, that's what I can say. I'm sorry for all the things which have hurt u. I'll try not to hurt u anymore. Just remember that I'm there! I'm proud that u r my Ma, only mine!!!

I have been Tagged! So now I'm supposed to write 8 lines about myself! How do I go about that? What will I do with 8 lines??? What not to write coz 8 lnes are not enough to write about oneself I guess! Anyway, lets start & see how things look like!

1. I'm very shy & take time to open up.

2. I'm introvert, even when I have so many things to say, I can't.

3. I lack confidence. When I'm asked to perform anything or when it comes to answering some question in class or anywhere, I don't even if I know coz I'm too shy & feel what if I'm wrong?

4. I'm a very lazy person, why should I do something much before when I know that I have more time! Alas, I tend to forget the phrase Tomorrow never comes!!! Thats why I've got so many things to do but....whats the hurry? I'll finish them, don't worry! A perfect procastrinate.

Well, I wrote 4 bad things about me. Now its time for 4 good things! Yippie! I'm loving it now!!!

5. I'm a sweet person! Hey, I'm not telling this JLT! Wherever I go, people(alas, elderly people like uncles, aunties, dadus & didas, not hot chic handsome guys!) say, "Bah! bhari mishti meye to!"

6. I've a wacky sense of humour. I can make people laugh till they cry!

7. I'm mastering the art of "baje boka/bhat boka"! When I'm with my close friends, I talk gibberish! They get mad but they love me for this! My imagination has no bounds!

8. Last but not the least, I'm a good & humble person! See, I've got so many good qualities but still, I wasted four lines bringing out my negative points instead of bragging or flaunting about them!

Huh! Atlast I'm done with this! But I must tell you, I could have continued with this but never mind! Am neither an angel, nor a devil. I'm a normal human being. Someone veryy veryy ordinary!

My Silent Tears

They say, never shed your tears. They are too costly. Don't cry for someone who has hurt you as someone who really cares for you won't make you cry. Then why are tears present? What's their significance? If I don't cry when I'm hurt then when will I cry? You can only get hurt by them who you think really cares for you. They do, but they are human beings, not angels that they will never ever hurt you! It sounds very romantic when someone dear says "I will never hurt you, never make you cry." But I don't believe it. Human beings do commit mistakes, you feel bad & you cry. You feel better after you cry. I am a cry baby. I cry at the drop of a hat. My present situation has complelled me to cry out loud...but I can't. I'm shedding my tears silently. Its raining outside & so is my heart! Why am I crying? I got hurt. I know, he didn't mean to hurt me but still I'm crying. I wish he's feeling the same & crying for me too! But nah, I don't want that! Tomorrow or after few days when I will see this, may be I'll laugh. It may seem stupid but for me, what I'm feeling now is the most important thing. Whenever you feel like crying, do cry. It won't cause you any harm. I know, I keep on telling people don't cry & repeat those words. but now, I'm telling you, do cry if you feel like crying! My dear ones, I don't promise you that I'll never make you cry. Don't accuse me later, ok?
I know this whole thing is verry stupid but I really can't help it. This is my blog & I just needed to rain my feelings! I'll always do that, rain my feelings. I'm the rain girl you see!
