Violated Inocence

Posted by SHRUTHI K MOHAN on Friday, March 26, 2010


We all have spend time worrying about our future!!But there are some who have left it all in the hands of God!!They aren't worried of anything except for daily bread...When we feel hungry we buy food, when we feel our clothes or accessories are out of fashion we throw them away. Unfortunately these necessities of our lives are a luxury for some....
The reason behind this post is my encounter with a very young gal of my age..Only thing common between us was our age..She was carelessly dressed...a perfect beggar attire..She was much much much bold than me..though she was dressed in sari..she still had the look of a child..It was my friend who had noticed her for the first time..We found her near the roadside on our way back to home..She was seen arguing with an elder woman..and was mercilessly beating the old woman..Its hard 4 a normal person to witness the way they fight...My friend shrieked seeing the woman trying to hit other with a heavy stone..It was just their way..They quarrelled at each other 4 their daily earnings..but at then end of the day they were together...
Next day...we found her with two other woman and a man..it was as if they they had taken begging as a profession..and the roadside as their land..I couldn't take my eyes from her..She had the braveness or may be her fate myt have made her brave..She had no fear in sleeping there..I was depressed seeing the way she was sleeping there with lots of evil eyes staring at her..It was a depressing sight..Felt like piercing those eyes....
I witnessed the most depressing sight the next day...I found her with a younger gal.. of 14 or 15 years old...The depressing sight was the state of the gal..she was carrying a life inside her..she was pregnant..her pregnancy an act enforced on her not of her choice but now her responsibility and she is 14years old!! ...I felt numb seeing her..She still had that innocent looks..huh..What the hell is happening around us..???If this is their childhood, one can imagine what they would become as
adults. Something has to be done because the well being of innocent children is at stake..
I never found them after that day..The place where they stayed had bits of food and papers..But her image its still in my mind.. leaving me with a feeling of helplessness for I cannot do anything to change their lives.

She is neither my sister nor is my friend but I dont know why my heart still aches when I pass through the place..

"BITTER ARE the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it."

DEATH IS NOT A GOODBYE

Posted by SHRUTHI K MOHAN on Thursday, March 11, 2010

Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can

The only thing strange about life is its uncertainity.....
What happens after u leave the body...does ur soul wander??? or is there an after life??Does death gives one peace which u fail to get in life??What does it mean when u can still feel their presence??I am too curious to know abt these...May be the sudden departure of my Best friend..Aryan and recent departure of my grandfather have left me with such strange thoughts..How can you know abt it unless u have faced death face to face...??When we truly love, it is never lost. It is only after death that the depth of the bond is truly felt, and our loved one becomes more a part of us than was possible in life...When we lose someone we love we try to think of several reasons to keep ourselves balanced..to help us move on with our lyf..we imagine them to be with God..we think of them as god's favourite and we satisfy ourselves with the explanation that they are in heaven with gods and angels protecting them..they have completed their role in life and now its their time to rest in peace..All these reasons do help..and at times we wonder whether these reasons are valid enough!!Even i do have a belief that if the spirits like to contact you they appear in your dreams..And thats definitely a good thing..I consider dream as a link between their world and ours..I know you myt feel that am a crazy gal living with such stupid beliefs..These beliefs helps me a lot in moving on in life..And for me "Death should take me when I am in the mood"...I want to go on living even after my death.


When I think of death the only image that comes to my mind is that of a grim reaper..The Grim Reaper is a skeleton or solemn-looking man carrying a scythe, who cuts off people's lives as though he were harvesting grain..Grim Reaper, the black-cloaked, scythe-wielding personification of death. We all know exactly who he is and what he wants. He comes for every person, hourglass in hand, waiting for the last grain of sand to fall. When it does, he collects the soul with a well-practiced cut of his razor-sharp blade. It may not be a pleasant image, but it is clear and unmistakable...

The Bhagavan Gita, an important book for Hinduism talks extensively about the afterlife. Here, the Lord Krishna says that just as a man discards his old clothes and wears new ones; similarly the soul discards the old body and takes on a new one. In Hinduism, the belief is that the body is but a shell, the soul inside is immutable and indestructible and takes on different lives in a cycle of birth and death. The end of this cycle is Moksha or salvation.Buddhists maintain that rebirth takes place without an unchanging self or soul passing from one form to another.Christian Science teaches that the after-death state consists of a form of "probation" and spiritual development / progress whereby the experience of the deceased is in proportion to their ability to avail of the unlimited love of God.. Islam teaches that life lived on this Earth is a test for man to determine each individual's ultimate reward or punishment in the afterlife, which is eternal and everlasting.May be after your death you will be what you were before your birth.

Some say, "What is there to contemplate or prepare for? It's beyond our control. Our time will come and we will die — that is it.While there is time, we must take everything we can from life.When someone close to you dies, all you want to do is talk to them one last time. Is there life after death? I want to know that they're happy and well, free of the illnesses that killed them and, most importantly, I want to say 'I love you' one more time....
