Price of truth!!

Thruthfulness and honesty in today's world is a virtue. I am trying hard to help Cherith imbibe this quality into his core. He has these sadly questioning eyes when I ask him to speak the truth. "Sach bologe toh koi nahi daatega, jhooth bologe toh koi bharosa nahi karega"

He is visibly skeptical but eventually now, he has to quite some extent learnt that truth does save him from trouble.

All of us, since our childhood have been taught the habit and importance of saying the truth. Are we ever told what price we would have to pay for saying the truth??

I have been an endorser of the truth but I also accept using white lies to make people happy, they are purely intentional and harmless though..

There have been instances when I have made most hurtful declarations. They might have hurt people, made them think ill about me, also taken them away from me emotionally but my intention was just to be honest.

While reading the above lines, you too would have been brushed back to such bitter experiences. Saying the truth in a relationship and being slapped, questioning a wrong decision and being fired, fighting a right cause and being accused instead. These are usual returns today.

Standing by someone unimportant while he/she is right and with you losing a lot of important things. It indeed takes a lot of courage to speak the brutal truth but that's only the first time. After it becomes a habit, it is the most easiest thing to do.

Truth alone triumphs!

As for the returns, with all my heart I would say, sincerity to yourself is of utmost significance. And being honest and losing something less dangerous than having a heavy soul.

However hard you try to mend things with the help of manipulation and lies(they may even work sometimes), the short term gains will blur our sights and make us unaware of the capital losses we are going to incur.

In the end, we lose everything for those little momentary gains. There is nothing much you can do about things that have happened  already but touch your heart this very moment and take an oath to be true to yourself now on.

Finally, you will be the owner of the genuine price of truth. A liberal, light weight, guiltfree soul.


Cheers!!
God bless!

Kalank nahi...

I got to listen to the title track of kalank yesterday. It is undoubtedly beautifully sung and even more thoughtfully written. The best lines - " Na jaane ye zamaana, kyu chaahe ye mitaana, kalank nahi ishq hai kajal piya..."

Love for parents, friends, children and work is all taken positively.. Love for someone special is more often unwelcome. As in, I have seen people being questioned about who he/she is, where are they from, age, family, background so on and so forth.

Does it really matter?? I would touch my heart and say No. Neither are these issues of concern nor do we hold a degree to judge anyone's personal choice.

What is love after all? I'm of the opinion that Love is indefinite...
Indefinite in the most elaborate way.
It doesn't know things like age, distance, appearance, status and even gender.

Love is what you feel, when you are around someone and also when that someone is not around. Love is proximity despite the distance. Love is knowing the shortcomings of the other and not complaining.

Love is not forgetting things about someone regardless of the years that have passed with or without that person. Love is not only what makes you smile but also what makes you cry.

I believe both these are core emotions so when someone is capable of bringing a smile on your lips without a reason or make you cry, he or she truly has conquered an irreplaceable spot in your heart.

That is the reason, some point in life or even years after being away from the person we once loved, we think of them, we want to talk to them or know if all is well with them. The place they had, may not be occupied now but it isn't vacant for anyone else either.

No matter what anyone says, love is what your heart feels. And feelings are never right or wrong. Expressing them is upto us but experiencing them is not in our control.

Nobody in love can ever explain why they feel a particular way. The heart knows it all and being true to our heart is love..

Many of us are looking for love, many are living with their love and many have lost their love. In any case what really matters is what we feel.

So when any of us come across someone in love, make sure we dont judge them..

After all true love is not a blemish that needs to be erased, it is something that not only beautifies us on the outside but embellishes our soul...


Cheers!!
God Bless.
