The most baffling question of all is again standing in front of me.
India.. this five letter word has some special meaning to a billion people. India- my home. Once in a while, the mind breaks free from the intricacies of normal living and flies.. flies high.. Something deep inside gets triggered. When we watch Rang de Basanti or Shaheed, it gets triggered. It asks for me to do what I know is the right thing to be done.
I am one of those people who have witnessed extreme human pain. I have been lucky not to have suffered myself, but I have been close,very close to that pain. And to a small extent deep down inside , it pains.
There are times when a person starts thinking about himself and his own people. His own people are his family and friends. The person plans life in the best interest of himself and his family. There are the other times when the person feels one with a larger population. There are those moments when a person feels like the country as his/her home.
Difference is in this. When you are in someone else's house, you will know that your role in the house is either to let things happen the way they are happening or at most just point out the mistakes and the improvements. But, when it comes to your own home, you know that the only way you can make things better is by acting yourself. Thus, when you feel for the country as your home, I guess you try to see what you can do about the problem and probably take the thoughts ahead as action.
Now, here is the baffling point. I do not know how many of you agree, but I believe that a man can do anything if he puts in this/her best for it. Now where do you actually put in your best? Is it for the sake of your immediate family? Or is it for the sake of the larger family, the nation? This is irrelevant for anyone who fears putting his/her mind body and soul to test to achieve his/her goal. This is only for those who have the guts to slog.
Does working for one make you unjust? Or do you need to maintain the balance always? DO you need a perfect commitment to get things done?
It baffles.. It takes its toll..
I just hope that before I die, I find the road that I want!
To die... as they say.. in peace..

Balance
BALANCE is what i think the answer for that baffling question...A person lives many roles in his life and no role can be ignore...he can prioritize but can not ignore any role...so best would be prioritize the roles and act accordingly...
