Simplicity



Sometimes after finishing a task, I sit back and ruminate how the process got so abstruse and mingled.Perhaps, it had a straight path and I ended up following a meandering one! Sometimes, while writing, I focus on adornment so much that the message remains unsent.Sometimes, too many thoughts try to outwit each other.All you need to know while walking your path is one thing-Destination. And the rest , I feel, falls in place. Take Sachin Tendulkar- the biggest living legend in India.He has nearly all the records in the book.But what he does is actually very simple-He pads up daily, walks to the field and gives his best.The rest falls in place. How we live is also too 'complexed'.We bear grudges, feign emotions, giggle because the adjacent person is doing so.Actually, we forget that we can be natural and live with an identity that is unique. Perhaps, the rest will fall in place.

May be, what i perceived is wrong. May be, am partially true.May be, am just literally impressive.Or may be, none of these. But I have had an epiphany-that magical 'Simplicity' is the solution to this convoluted life.

Circle theory




It is a thing I have always believed in, but thought of penning it down now. The analogy is something I can take credit of ;)

It is a common realization that once you get over things, they seem smaller than they did. I always thought of this as an analogy with circles. Here is what it is :

 Assume life to be a circle of  infinite radius. When we are in a problem, we are actually inside another circle enclosed within the big life circle. Lets call it : PROBLEM CIRCLE But since we are inside the problem circle, we don't know its radius. We assume it to be a big circle oblivious of its size. We get scared while confronting the problem. When we get over the problem, we move out of that circle and realize that it was a circle of nanometer radius, almost negligible compared to LIFE CIRCLE. Thus, we realize actual weight of the problem when we go out of it..

For example, tenth boards seemed herculean that time. But looking back, we know it wasn't worth the nerves.

The circles of problems are disguising thus. Small when we're out of them and  big when we're stuck.
