Human being

What is a human being? I most of the time ask this question to myself. Birth and death; but I never thought of the existence, in fact I couldn't ever thought in that dimension.  There were many other things apart from existence and that were emotions. From the day one of our life emotions are with us actually born with us. Because existence is itself based on emotions. Happiness or sadness, joy and sorrow, love and hatred, all has two faces.  But have we ever thought why these emotions are so self obsessed. But when you think, it is you or it is your life then it would definitely be you. But you are not even you because every time you related to someone else. You cannot be you when there is no one around you.

When someone else top in a class, why we envy him? Why don’t we think, “if not me, at least somebody else has topped.” Then why don’t we get the same happiness for at least someone topped. Imagine if you would have been the only student in the class. Then with whom you would have competed? Then you should thank your classmate for making your presence.

Why do we get disappointed, when somebody else talks ill of us? Why don’t we think “if everyone will praise me then who will criticise me”. Despite knowing we have positive as well as negative sides then why we react. Think if someone wouldn't have talked ill of you. Then from whom you would have boosted your confidence? So, you should praise that person for increasing your confidence level.

Why do we get dejected when some tragedy happens to us? Why don’t we think, “what if there would have been something more dangerous than this”. Then why don’t we take our tragedies as saviours. Think if you would have not faced this tragedy. Then how would you have learnt to live an original life. So, you should Thank God for giving tragedies in your life.

When we talk about human nature it differs. He has different thoughts, different ways of perception, different characters’, different talents. But then why we have same emotions; states of happiness, state of grief, state of enjoyment all are same there might be different reasons but situations are always same.
We have always been told to be humble and considerate to others. And we all always try to be good to them. But then why can’t we live for others.  And why can’t we take their pains as if of ours. We are so much dependent and influenced by others that we can say our existence lies within others. And then yet why can’t live for others.
We are always unknown to our Psyche. And whenever we try to seek inside we get lost in the different world of questions.

Shaheed Afzal an unforgettable hero


Its early winter morning and my normal routine goes up to 10 but today my mother called me at 7,
 “Wake up they are saying Afzal Guru is hanged”
I without a second woke up as if I was not sleeping, “what, what are you saying how is this possible.” I such a stupid person contended saying, “hanging Afzal Guru is not an easy talk”. How I forgot its India, the incredible! Which can do anything especially with Kashmir. 
 “If this would have been true then we would have known. At least his family would have known and if so, then we would also have known”, I told. I was not ready to except the fact as I was hopefully sure it is a rumour, until my mother told me the media is showing it. The moment I heard this I was numbed and my eyes got filled will tears. There arouse a pain, pain of losing your own one and an aggression against this action. Not only me but the whole Kashmir is undergoing such pain. And this is Collective conscience of ‘our’ society.  
     

 Today again Kashmir has lost a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a friend, and a neighbour. Because in every human here dwells a Kashmir, today it’s grieving again, grieving for its loss, grieving for its injustice, grieving for its helplessness, grieving for its genocides. Today you the incredible Murderers, are celebrating but we are mourning, mourning for our loss. You have caged us, you have curtailed us, you have killed us and you have kept us on mute. But then how long you will keep us paralysed. Today you can choke off the voices but cannot block off the pens which are scribbling the history.
   
Afzal Guru is a Martyr, killed innocent by Indian Government. He was hanged on the grounds that they didn’t have enough evidence against him but “the collective conscience of the society will only be satisfied if capital punishment is awarded to the offender”. I won’t wonder if tomorrow for satisfying their collective conscience they will throw missile on Kashmir. I think they keep door to door campaign for measuring this collective conscience I wish they could have.
