This life is bad
This life is bad.
Many many mornings I wake up this way.
Feeling, life is just too unfair.
Some of the simplest things in life, have been denied to me.
And I have been a very hard working and conscientious person.
I have been dealt such a bad card in life.
Some simple pleasures denied.
There is truly no impetus to continue.
This life,...is bad,, bad ..bad..
I cant even tell anyone.
People always say 'be grateful. XYZ ke saath yeh huwa. ABC ko yeh huwa.
You have a family. You have this. you have that. Celebrate life. Be grateful.'.
I do have perspective. I am not blind.
But, where I am, feels bad. I am STUCK.
I am trying and trying. No luck.
Somewhere I shud have had some luck.
There is no enthu to participate.
I do try to cheer up and do things.
But joy evades me.
Peace, yes I have.
But no joy.
I try this and that. In an attempt to feel alive.
And in those outings I find a few addictions. A good movie/ series / book kindles that warmth in the heart. Makes me long. Makes me wish. And for days and months I warm myself in that addictive, illusory hearth. Living a life of fantasies, entirely in my head.
And then, regret catches up. And I try hard again to study something. Write something.
And I have no direction. Broadly I feel I shud work towards becoming a writer.
I do read and research.
People scold me for lack of discipline and consistency.
But I don't think those are issues.
The conditions are unfavourable.
If someone's life condition is forever unfavourable, it's tough.
Sometimes you need some stroke of luck. You cannot be swimmimng upstream always.
When I see simple things like, so much hairfall, the possibility of going bald.
the way my body behaves (I've been trying to be disciplined with food) but not much help from inside...It's difficult to find clothes to wear. The simplest joys of being able to wear a nice dress, look nice are taken away from me.
The simple joy of looking in the mirror and feeling beautiful.
The simple joy of feeling your body agile and fit and strong.
The simple joy of doing some work that brings in money and compliments.
The simple joy of loving every contour of your body.
The simple joy of romance; sex; intimacy; orgasm.
The simple joy of beholding a baby.
I ask god for help. Everyday.
Some signs. Some whispering in the ear.
Some good news. Some progress somewhere.
For years.
No response.
Most often I feel, I have reached a point of no return.
I do not see anything bright, worth living for.
I feel cursed. Bad curse.
I feel I can never be happy ever.
I can never feel satisfied with such bad cards.
I feel it's time to call it quits. Hope for better cards in the next reincarnation.
A better behaved body. So that I can dress up, Look nice.
A disciplined mind.
Clarity and confidence from a young age.
Well formed habits.
Courage, consistency, rigour, right attitude - all pillars for success.
I want to live like a queen.
I think it's time to call it quits. I hope he takes me away quickly without pain.
I see no hope. I am just being a burden on the planet.
No amount of spiritual reading, mental consolation, positive thinking can take away from the fact that deep inside I feel cursed. Doomed. Stuck.
I see no hope ever. Of things changing. Of better days.
It's better to hit the restart button.

The mind and meditation
As I sat watching the sunrise today, I could hear the song of birds. A bulbul singing sweetly nearby and a distant barbet's shrill calls.
And the oft repeated saying comes to mind "When the mind is silent, you hear your own true voice".
And I realized a tad bit more into this profound saying.
Mind, as we know, is "old". An accumulation of memory, images - some good, some bad.
It's tool is thought.
The chatter, as we know, is a rehash of what is already known.
It perpetuates the past and keeps it alive. It draws a lot of energy from your quota of energy for the day. You are left with very little energy to do what you want to do. You feel drained.
By simply breathing and being in the now, or being meditative, we cut off the fuel supply to the Mind tank. Slowly the frequency, length and intensity of thoughts reduces.
This reduction of "mind" weakens it and reduces its power over you slowly, every day.
So there's eventually "less" mind every day.
Less mind means you are more present. Your energy, if channelled properly can be used in the best way.
Energy, clarity, purpose/ direction - are the pillars for doing anything constructive.
And mindfulness helps in all three at once.

Zehal-E-Maskeen
Zehaal-e-miskeen makun taghaful,
Duraye naina banaye batiyan.
Duraye naina banaye batiyan.
Do not overlook my misery,
by blandishing your eyes and weaving tales,
by blandishing your eyes and weaving tales,
Ke taab-e-hijran nadaram ay jaan,
Na leho kahe lagaye chatiyan.
Na leho kahe lagaye chatiyan.
My patience has over-brimmed, O sweetheart!
why do you not take me to your bosom.
why do you not take me to your bosom.
Shaban-e-hijran daraz chun zulf,
Wa roz-e-waslat cho umer kotah.
Wa roz-e-waslat cho umer kotah.
Long like curls in the night of separation.
short like life on the day of our union.
Sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun,
To kaise kaTun andheri ratiyan.
To kaise kaTun andheri ratiyan.
My dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night
without your face before.
without your face before.
Yakayak az dil do chashm-e-jadu,
Basad farebam baburd taskin.
Basad farebam baburd taskin.
Suddenly, using a thousand tricks
the enchanting eyes robbed me of my tranquil mind.
the enchanting eyes robbed me of my tranquil mind.
Kisay pari hai jo ja sunave,
Piyare pi ko hamari batiyan,
Piyare pi ko hamari batiyan,
