At a cliff, 10 miles above ground a group of solders take rest on a tiny
ridge during their trekking operation on a mission.
Shepoy: Sir, I am scared of heights.
Captain: Don't look down.
The famous scene from the movie 'lakshya' comes in my memories whenever
I face a grave situation. It has been one of my take-aways from life that
whenever one is in deepest trouble as the shepoy was, the best thing to do is
turn on the attitude of captain. Although the approach didn't do either more or
less to solve problems, it eased tensions. Add on to it the joy of surpassing a
hurdle without talking to the world. It gives self an immense boost of
confidence in cases of victories. Further, in case of failures, one learns how
to live with them(failures). Everyday we encounter umpteen problems ranging
from grave to gravest nature. The only thing that keeps one alive is faith in
self.
Gone are the days when I used to hold hands of my father in platform when
the train used to arrive. Now its me sitting alone on the macadam waiting
for the train, killing the time by recalling reminiscent memories. A scene of
mother/father caring his child gives me a pat of consolation that time has
changed. But somehow the image still haunts and sooths me at the same time.
Paradox feeling has became an integrated part of life for my generation, as we
look forward to do multitasking and achieve lots during our youth.
As time passes, we learnt to accept everything. But ultimately we are
the lone fighters at heart. Nobody can snatch away our swords from us easily,
as a battle fought lone with selfish motive is the most hassle battle.
