You Complete Me !


“Kill you? I don’t want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, you... you complete me. “
..yes...Joker's dialog from Dark Knight sometimes makes you wonder. What is Good without Bad and what is Bad without Good? When one say things are going Good that actually means they are not going Bad. It is all relative. Once you set your perspective and draw the fine, invisible line of comparison, you start to position other things above or below that line. And then you start grading them as Good or Bad. But what is it actually? It is mere comparison with your own perspective. If you stop drawing that line then this whole won't make any sense.

When you see beautiful scenery, flowers etc., you feel Good...why? Because somewhere inside your mind your brain compares the current scene with other stored images and grade it as superior. What if you haven't seen any bad picture yet? Think of a new born baby, who has not seen anything yet. Whatever is the first thing that baby is going to see will not get into Good or bad....it just stays at is. The moment it sees different thing it starts comparing and categorizing them. So imagine the world without comparisons... Imagine there is nothing Bad as per your current perspective. We always want to live in the world which is all good in our perspective....imagine that...The moment you imagine all things which are Bad as per your current perspective are vanished...you forget them....the same moment your line of perception has changed. New set of Bad category comes into picture, because the all you know is the good things with respect to old perception line..some are more Good and some are not so Good...So your not so Good things become Bad. Because Good is compliment to Bad....They complete each other.

Now you will start saying, what "bakwaas" I am doing. Who the hell care about if anything is Good or anything is Bad. I don't care whether they are complementary or distinct....but the whole point of my above discussion is not proving the comparison, as it is going to be there always. My point is, if you feel something is going Bad...then it is just because your line of perception is little higher at that time. And when things go bad you get depressed. So just look at the bigger picture...drag your line of perception little lower and you will see the things are not actually that bad...it is just like new born baby..you have to see lot more new things....If there is Bad means you have already seen Good compared to the Bad...and when you experience Good...the joy comes because you have faced the Bad part of it in the past...It is just a line...where it lies thats all matter.

Naturally ...!!!!


        I don't know why, but today morning my eyes opened earlier than usual time. I looked at my mobile, time was '6:24', I was feeling fresh. I stood up and suddenly I heard nice chirping sound of some bird outside my window. I felt delighted. Last couple of weeks were very hectic and unknowingly due to that busy schedule, I almost stopped hearing all these voices, all these sounds. Sometimes you become so busy that you never realise these sounds are ringing just besides you until some day you get moment of relaxation and you realise their existence.  I got freshed up and had bath in nice chilling water ...ahhaaa... then I got dressed up and took my cycle towards my department road. A cool breeze flowed through my arms and I felt like I got the wings....I felt like I should stop and feel that air....feel the freshness till it gets inside my lungs...my heart...in my mind...

         Everyday I run towards different different technologies, different different modes of comfort, but truely there is nothing compared to natural comfort. In all these modern ways of comforting, we seek natural touch. No matter how long you sit in the A.C. room but there is no comparision with the sea wind, or nice cool natural breeze you feel. As this breeze passes near your body, if you give just a moment to feel it...a moment to let that breeze disolve in you.....it will take away all your fatigue with itself... You just have to give the little attention towards it. We paint our walls with various shades of colors, but when you look at the sky, clouds....or may be the greenary just after the rain, the joy, the peace you feel looking at those is amazing. You can never achive it with any of your artifical things. Same is the case with natural sounds, the softness of lushy green grass...All we can do is try to imitate all these natural things with our technology. I ask why? ...Why do you need to re-create something which is freely available... Just becuase you don't have time to feel that natural beauty.

     If you stop running and spare some time with nature then you won't be needing any artifical way of comforting yourself because nature is the biggest psychiatrist of all. You hear all those unheard daily noises, see all those unseen scences, and feel all those un-noticed moments then half of your worries, half of your tensions will go away like magic. Just Naturally...!!!
