First Rain & the Green Carpet.


Watched a movie yesterday – Taare Zameen Par...

It was a nice movie. Little stretched in the first half. Otherwise everything about it was touching. Another thing – in every scene even though it was not required, you can see Aamir Khan’s watery eyes.

A friend, philosopher & guide.... I kept on thinking on these lines after watching movie. Everyone needs a source of inspiration. Yes, anything can inspire anybody. But you are always in search of a third person with whom you can talk on friendly level and at the same time get guidance from him for the right path while taking decisions n travelling the journey called life.

I am always amazed of thinking one thing – I see dreams but never have seen my own face in my dreams... true... We need somebody who can become third person in our lives n guide us about what is wrong n what is right. But you never know at what time you need this third person in your life.. Sometimes when you are too young deciding on your career path, life partner etc etc. Sometimes after marriage while adjusting with the new family when he/she realises that he has lost his identity entirely and gets stuck... or else when you are a child, trying to learn to cope up with the normal norms of the world... you want somebody to understand you but when you try to find somebody around – you find nobody....
Aamir has played this role of a friend, philosopher & guide in the movie. You blossom, you actually feel like a bird in the presence of this person. Your confidence rises, you feel valued and feel as if somebody is there who believes in me and in my abilities.... the feeling itself makes you to perform your best.

I remember one of my friends used to tell me “ I wonder how this happens during rainy season.. grass automatically grows around the corner of roads and travels parallel and further joins to hills n mountains... It’s always like all of a sudden a new entity has been materialized out of nowhere”

Today I feel – does a rain drop work as a friend, philosopher & guide for small grass seeds? During whose presence grass grows n creates its entity.....

Very true & touching !!

As life-giving rain is omnipresent in our living world, such individuals are also always there. They have this urge to identify and encourage inner spirit, spirit of the soul. The yearning to learn, the aspiration to grow, the desire to fly, the ambition to reach new heights.

The analogy with rain ends here, because rain can't guess which seed wants to painfully grow in a plant and which is lazy enough to just lay down under the soil enjoying it's siesta. Humans can understand who wants to learn and who doesn't and so the synergetic process happens. Going further, sometimes the guide forces reluctant & lazy pupil to go on backburner because, not the pupil but the guide is aware of his inner strengths and is not going to let them go waste.

The inference here is, humans have this highly spiritual synergetic process where the inner strength & determination of the guided is more important than the guiding force.

Thanks for letting my thoughts run for a while and wishing you lots of happy blogging !!
