a radio show worked...

From past few days i have been depressed... i dont know why.. may be due to the lost of goal.. You must be thinking what i am talking about. Well as I had mentioned in my past posts, i wrote the GATE exam and qualified it with good score.. and now I have got admission into a very prestigious college the Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior. But instead of being happy, I am sad. Not because I didnt want this college but because I dont have anything to do now. I was pretty busy with the admission process. But now its over and there's still time for the classes to begin. and I cant figure out a single way to keep me busy. I am in a new city and have no friends here to hang out with. plus all my friends are so busy in their jobs and other things that i hardly talk to them over phone or so. well i am not writing this post cos i want to talk about my problems..this post is about the solution to my peoblem.. the magical solution i found yesterday evening.
I was listening to a show on radio yesterday evening (as i do every evening).. and suddenly i tuned to this channel (which I always felt was the most depressing one with really bad choice of songs)..to my surprise there was a good radio jockey talking on air and i decided to listen. she was telling a stroy abt a king who had faced some problems and consulted a priest. the priest gave him a note and told him to read it when he faced some problem next time. he told him that the note had magical capability and should not be read or even opened if the king wasn't in some danger or problem. the king obeyed the priest and took the note as a blessing and kept it in his pocket always.. one day the king was out hunting in a jungle when suddenly he got lost and found himself in the territory of the enemy. suddenly he heard a troop of soliders of enemy comming in his direction. he climbed up a tree to hide himself.. suddenly he remembered the note. he took it out of his pocket and read it.. it said "this too shall pass"...
as i heard the story, i felt as if it was meant to b heard by me and many people like me who were in bad phases of life. what magical words "this too shall pass". just to remind us that life is not going to be this way always. its just a phase and will pass soon.
i learnt a major lesson in life thru this one sentence.life is always changing and due to this it sometimes leads us into bad phases where we feel we are stuck forever and we are never going to come out. but what we must remember is that it will be okey in the end. we will come out of this part of life. all we need is to believe and have patience.cos in the end nothing lasts forever.. in the end we have to recollect our energy and be ready to enter a new phase...
i am much relaxed now..all i needed was a line to make me feel better.. watching funny movies ddnt work.. studying ddnt work and what worked was a show in radio..cos of a story and just one magical line "this too shall pass.."... cos this is called life...

  3. Well that was truly inspiring dear! A tad disappointing as well, for you mention the fact that there is no one for you out there now and coming from you, that's really heart breaking! Well don't know bout the others but you can rest assured that this brat of a chap will always be there to keep making your life miserable in more ways than one!!! Take care gal!! May the new chapter in your life bring you to the pinnacle of the glory that you have always deserved!! Lots of Love!!!!!

  4. well, yes u r right.
    But dont u think..work is the main strength by which we can go ahead.... Defining work, designing work, implementing work, executing work, modifying work, and accomplishing work are what we should take on with the mantra.." it soon shall pass too" .

  5. @kiran: thanks a lot buddy. i know dear i can always count on you. you are one of my best buddies and thanks for all the wishes.. love ya too

    @ subhendu: i do agree to you. but then life doesnt always lead us to phases where we can do something to come out of it.we shud surely work to find the solution. as is written in the Gita ji "karma is everything" but there are times when we just have to leave everything on almighty and pray for the bad phase to pass. and this statement works in those phases.. when our mind is too disturbed to think of any solution. all we can do instead of being depressed and disappointed is to look forward to the good phase comming and remember that bad phases will pass...
