Often it is seen that people complain about having deficiency of time, where they aren’t able to manage things around and denote quality family time (my advice to such people is to draw out a cheque and buy some time from the market….)

Jokes apart, the problem is not with their schedules, but with their unfocused approach towards life which is due to diverted attention. Hence the solution lies in trying avoiding the road where you have no intend to travel long; why to unnecessarily confuse yourself in the maze of life and waste your precious energy (after all Energy saved is energy earned). Hence the key lies in narrowing down your fields and concentrating your energies on one prominent field that interests YOU the most.

“LIFE” the 4 letter word…jitna chota yeh word h…usse bhe zayada choti humari life h…don’t you agree?

Then why wasting it travelling the paths you feel you do not own. Keep ‘it’ (life) short-simple-sweet-symhonic (ohh so many ‘S’).

“CONFUSION” this 9 letter word that grapples the 4 letter entity (our LIFE); unnecessarily complicates it; making us overburdened and gifting us the bouquet of diseases like insomnia (sleep deprivation), depression, anxiety disorder; hence making way for job positions like that of a “psychiatrist”.

“PSYCHIATRIST” (JISKE SPELLING I LEARNED ONLY A FEW YEARS BACK!) a word associated with taboo and stigma!

We often come across statements like “Is he going to a psychiatrist? Is he Insane?  Is he taking psychological medication! OMG stay away from him” (as if depression is a communicable disease). Often people ignore their mental health (I am sorry I forgot that I am talking about a nation where people ignore guidelines given during a pandemic! what to say about mental health; which are bruises deep inside- away from a passer-by’s eye).

Hence I would plead to embrace that SMILE on your face because happiness is infectious. You laugh and the world would laugh with you; you cry and hardly anybody could be noticed around.

As a matter of fact, concealing your weaknesses in front of society; prevents the public from taking your advantage and the point is that you never know when that fake smile of yours could turn into a real one… (at times just feeling happy-complete actually gives a sense of wholeness even if there’s still deprivation). As individuals we often behave selfishly; we always want more (whether be it money, fame, good fortune, happiness, hairs on our scalp… well the list goes on. As the father of the nation correctly pointed out that there is enough for everybody’s need but it’s never goanna enough for one’s greed).

Trying feeling strong even when you are not OKAY from inside and undertaking that extra effort; when you are exhausted is what matters the most…

With this thought in mind, I Srishti Jain would sign off!
