Learning is an Art

It’s 1 am in the morning and you are returning from a late night party and you see some one struggling to start his bike what will you do?? How many of us will stop or even bother to think what that person will do or what I can do for that person?? Whether you do something or not is all together a different thing even this thought coming to your mind means you are morally responsible, as always I am not here to preach someone his moral responsibility I just want to share what just happened with me and what I did.

I was returning to my place and I noticed someone struggling to start his bike, I slowed down and looked at the guy and he looked backed at me I can see the trouble in his eyes, he knew he was in mess, he gently asked me is there any petrol pump around I looked at him in amazement there are hardly any petrol pumps in Pune those will be open at 1 am in night, but still I suggested him did you went towards the chandani chowk one though I knew the answer, he replied yes I did and it was closed.

What I just did, was that enough to help that guy I didn’t felt like. I said to him let me give you some petrol from my bike, guy was surprised and taken away. I asked him try to locate a bottle which we can use for the transfer, after looking around for a while we were able to find out a empty bottle I exclaimed you are a lucky guy he nodded his head in affirmation yeah I am lucky. I asked where he wants to go and accordingly I gave him the petrol, he happily took the petrol poured in his bike and was ready to go, he looked at me and asked do I give you something for this I was surprised and amused at the same time I said no that was hardly anything and at back of mind I thought if you really want to give me something back, help someone who is caught in similar problem as you were a while back that would be the biggest way you can pay me back and he thanked me many times but I went into deep thoughts of how many of us would have done similar thing or the person whom I just help would he reciprocate that gesture to someone else? in midst of these thoughts I started my bike and left and didn’t looked back

In to the wilderness of night, people are preparing to sleep to end their day, I am sitting along thinking about dreaming and doing, dream is not you see when you are sleeping I have dreamed many a times awake in my full consciousness and that’s when the dream becomes reality.

Few days back I was wondering what’s gonna happen to my life if some day I failed at crucial point of time in my life and quickly realized by thinking this I am giving inroad to failure to ruin my dream, what ever you aspire about think about it day in day out, live with it sleep with it and keep it in your heartbeats than nothing in this world can stop you from reaching your dream or goal, major problem which I have faced in this is our logical reasoning to evaluate everything on Profit & Losss statement (P&L) that’s where the problem start when we subdue our instincts for fear which is projected in P&L statement, what I am today should not be mirror of that P&L statement but it should reflect what I really wanted to do in my life.

As in some speech Steve Jobs said imagine every day as it’s your last day of your life and ask your self are you doing what you are doing today will you be doing that if it would have been last day of your lives, don’t get carried away by dogma which surrounds you think what you want to do and do it.

I know I am no saint to preach all these things to all the intelligent people out there but still that’s what I believe in foolishly, to take it or not is up to reader and yes the disclaimer please don;t come to me saying I tried it all what you said and it did not work for me. It will not as you are unique incarnation of god what I can do you can not and what you can do I can not, that’s how the universe is created. Can you imagine everyone falling in love with only one beautiful girl on this planet, that simply does not happens for the reason we all know but than we ignore this in our lives we go after the same MBA degree, same MS from US of A , do we ever give it thought what we wanted from our lives, I know you will jump out of your couch and say I always wanted to do MBA I am sorry my friend I beg to differ that’s not what you wanted to do, that’s what you were forced to do by circumstances, I know there are 10% of people who actually take such decisions giving clear consideration to a lot of things and I respect their decisions but I am ruthless about other 90% of folks I simply pity them.

Seems like carlsberg effect is ending so is my enthusiasm to continue it further.

PS: No intention to hurt anyone opinions above are my own one, apologies to souls who are hurt by this post if any. Cheers
