Goodbye till I come back again !!

It's funny, because 2010 has a special significance for me. I am always on the run and I think about how much faster time seems to go now and how it seems crazy that a few years back, I had fantasized about a life that I was not at all headed towards….
It's kind of every week turns out to be an eternity and it is too difficult to find a way out !!
Or is it so for everyone..??
Sometimes I feel I am tired running around with cancer patients… and then the rehabilitation programs , the awareness campaigns for which we travel miles on end, then again comes my doctoral research, the sleepless nights when I sit and write a blog while I download stuff for reviewing my thesis......

And the times I go crazy when I lose concentration in my work at the Research Centre….. and then the lecture classes I have to prepare with utmost care… the guest lectures at the university , my club activities…... seminars...oooohh !!! It really gets on my nerves ! Its just one person....doing all this !! And I wish I had wings and 10 hands to do things  and 4 more legs to stand on ,when these two legs of mine get tired !!
You can’t creep into bed at 2 am every night (Or is it morning ???!)
I feel I am going insane with all that’s going around …Chances are good that I won't make it this way for yet another month…So I thought I would give a pause to whatever is real crap and what I feel, is not essential for me right now.....

To start with, I would be giving a pause to blogging for the next couple of weeks  until I regain a fresh mind to write more crap!!
I am happy many of my dreams have come to fruitition and theres one more left to handle and that’s my research …!!! I’ve been working on it for 2 years now and I am too close to it but have’nt crossed the finishing line …So I need to take a step further there and a step back in the blog game !!So I am going to scratch me off the bloggers list for some time …
Thanks for reading my posts patiently over the past couple of weeks ( My stats tab shows me lots of you... butterflies.... visiting my blog-garden everyday ! Thanks a lot !!) .
It's exactly one month since I started blogging and its definitely cool to be blogging on like this (410 hits in a month ! Feels good !!),  and guys... if you don't hear from me for a while, it's only because good things are happening!!
Bye for now…
Love to all of you,
Butterfly Traveller.

Emotionally mature newborns?

What I write is something very personal.
And the views that I share here is what I feel and I mean what I write...
This time i need to write about something I feel is quite a mystery .
























The birth of a baby has always intrigued me. Until the baby remains inside the womb,
he breathes and is being fed through the cord which connects him to his mother. He swims about in a fluid medium where the fluid goes into his nostrils and mouth. He doesnt cry or fret that its dark inside. He doesnt complain even when it is cold and he is lonely. He lives the life of a sage.The moment the cord is cut, the baby becomes an independent and intelligent person who knows to adapt to the new environment he is placed in.


He suddenly knows to use his nose for breathing and also to smell. He uses his mouth to feed and also to cry and smile at everyone. The baby who was living in a fluid medium inside the womb, suddenly knows to live in a gaseous medium.
He knows he can open his eyes to wink away the dust and light and also to view and enjoy Gods creations. He uses his little fingers to touch, to feel ,to hold on to his mother. He also knows he can use his legs to kick away things which come his way.
He knows to cry when he is hungry or is in pain and also to smile when he is happy and content.

 
The reason why I drag on is to get to the point that the baby who is zero hours old is intelligent enough to  adapt to strange situations in a matter of minutes. 

What confuses me is the same baby when is undergoing the process of growing up , cannot adapt emotionally. Even when he comes to a ripe age, say 80 yrs, when a man says he is experienced, still he wouldn’t know how to react to people and circumstances in the right way, loses his temper, gets hurt, withdraws into himself, or becomes hyperactive, becomes an introvert or an extrovert and many are worse than mad men. Don’t you think this is odd?

We say life is a process of continous learning . But what exactly do we learn if we would not learn to control our emotions even ? Well....I personally find this a controversy .

Is it because the body is more adaptable than our mind ? or  because the mind is weaker than our body ? When the body can adapt efficiently at zero years , even to the worst conditions but still the mind refuses to adapt to the minutest difficulty even at old age, don’t you  wonder why ? Do we control emotions or emotions control us ? They say " Anger and Love are the spice of life" But its always too much anger and a lot less of love.

So i feel it is unconditional love that gets lost when we grow older ? the baby knows only to love and he has not a pinch of selfishness in him. so his mind and body can adapt to people and situations ? but  men cannot because they become selfish and crave for materialistic and monetary benefits which make them unadaptable and unacceptable ?  

If the new born baby could speak he would have told us how he felt when he was inside the mothers womb . He would have told us how he feels outside ... BABY'S FIRST DAY OUT ???

I feel its because we cant adjust and adapt because  "we wont " because "we dont want to" ???

Well....Strange ????

Personally,  I feel I have a lot of "IF's"  ...
If everyone could smile at the worst situations…
If everyone could laugh off an argument which hurts…
If everyone could smile at somebody’s mistakes without jesting..
If everyone could withhold false interpretations..
If people could change their temperament …
If people could learn to stop backbiting..
If people could love unconditionally..
If people would stop hurting others …


DON’T YOU THINK THE WORLD WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER PLACE
IF ONLY WE COULD………
