The Damage

When we fill a glass with water, we empty a container by the same quantity. If you agree with me, you would also realise how when we build, create or produce something, we use up some resources somehow or the other, like for instance, to make furnitures or produce paper, we cut down trees; to make a house we use bricks and sand which is nothing but soil from somewhere or the other; we make diamond jewelry, we dig into mines looking for them.

Similarly, in our lives we come across many people who are damaged. When we try to fix that damage, we use up our emotions, our efforts, our trust and so much more. Eventually we fill up the void in the other person's life while creating the void within us. Sometimes the person stays with us all our lives after they are fixed, sometimes they move on leaving the void behind in us.

Now in situations where they stay, somehow they keep sharing the emotions, efforts and all other resources that was once used up, to support each other. However, when they move on after they are fixed, you are left with a lot of damage within yourself. Let's talk about what happens after that.

Whatever a person has used up to fill the void in another person's life, they start lacking them. A person who used to trust everyone suddenly starts distrusting everyone they come across, someone who would earlier sympathize to a situation sucdenly becomes ignorant, someone who was once able to handle a situation with calmness suddenly becomes agressive at the smallest of issues. These are not their traits, they are not born with them, they are the signs of the damages.

Human beings are possibly the most complex and complicated when it comes to the mind structure out of all living things, add to that the additional dos and don'ts imposed by the society, along with it the 'have to dos' in life due to the regular responsibilities. It's not easy to handle a human being, and to top it up, if the person is damaged, life isn't going to be a smooth highway at all. We should know that if we fill a bucket with water, that same quantity of water gets emptied from another container where it was normally stored. Once the water in the container is finished, you need to fill that container from another water source in order to fill more glasses with water. Until that's done, an empty container cannot fill an empty glass.

In Memory of Red

Since childhood I have always been very fond of automobiles. My childhood days didn't have good looking motorcycles, but sure did have very beautiful cars. Among my favorites, I absolutely loved HM Contessa, Daewoo Cielo and Mitsubishi Lancer. So when I grew up and when it was time for me to buy my first car, I bought a black Mitsubishi Lancer. It was the fifth vehicle I've owned by then so I called it "Mark-5". What a car it is! It was low, with a long bonnet and seat as low as if you are sitting on the ground. It's said, once you drive a Mitsubishi, chances are you won't like another car again and I genuinely believe it's true. Soon after I bought the car, I started modifying it to my taste: cannon like muffler, leather wrap door panels, upgraded ICE (in-car entertainment), etc. With time I got all the mechanical issues fixed and then got it painted to Audi red and from then, I used to call her "Red"! God she was a looker! ...

My Grandparents

These are my dear grandparents. Almost my entire good childhood is spent under their shadows. Even though it's been years, I remember how I used to spend every weekend with my grandparents at their place. This picture has been taken on 09-05-2019, while celebrating their 59th marriage anniversary. They got married in 1960 (as sharply remembered by my grandfather) and ever since they have been together, fighting every difficulty life threw upon them. My grandfather used to be an extremely respected cop back in his days when working with the Police department was still a job of respect and there wasn't so much corruption and greed. He retired as an ACP at Lal Bazar traffic department with a lot of respect from people and a lot of well wishers who loved him for his honesty. Post retirement they settled down outside the city where he had bought a land and built his own house while he was still working. This was probably a reason why even though I was born in l...

My first post

It's 2017. My bed is positioned in a way that the morning rays hit half the bed. Earlier I used to sleep in a way that the rays hit my face directly so that I know it's morning. I had this idea that it would be an amazing feeling but trust me it's the most horrible thing you could do to yourself. So I started sleeping the other way round and let the sunrays hit my feet instead. Now that, feels amazing. So it happened to me that I this morning I woke up much before the rays could actually make my feet warm and saw the golden rays coming in. I decided to do the most difficult thing during winter mornings. I decided to leave my cosy bed. We have an easy chair. Not the traditional ones but the folding-easy to carry ones. It's pretty comfortable. We have kept it in our balcony. So I decided to sit there and write my first post. But what do I want to write? Well, about the year 2016. So.... last new year, I drank a lot and was totally out. So the start of the new year was ...
