Is IRONICAL the right word to describe both Life & Love?

Hey people i am back from my extended weekend..Will write a post about it soon. Here is a guest post by the famous author and my friend Dr. Rohit Bhasin. .. Sabhi log taaliyon ki gadgadah at se unka swagat kijiye


Is IRONICAL the right word to describe both Life & Love? – My perspective



That’s a question that I guess everyone faces everyday and in some instances, every moment. But, the irony is that irony chose to envelope the two most important aspects of the very existence of everyone: Life & Love.
I look around and often wonder why…………
Why some people just decide to take control of everyone else’s life?
Why they may kill or torture someone for their own pleasure?
Why someone else’s happiness is often accompanied by some other person’s broken heart?
Why playing of merry bands is often coincided with a deafening silence and shrieks of pain and crying in someone else’s place?
Why two people who swear to live together for their entire life, decide to part their ways over small issues?
Why at many points in life we seem to lose the point of living, cherishing and respecting the ones that constitute our LIFE and make our LIFE?
…………The list seems endless.


But as they say there is a brighter side to every incidence and everything happens for a reason. It has been designed and programmed this way (Courtesy: The GOD); for us to know and for us to cherish what we have and be afraid and conscious and learn from these ironies. To be able to enjoy our happiest of times with a feeling encompassing our mind that nobody is as lucky as we are at that moment. It is important to realize that we could, can and (potentially will be) in someone else’s shoes at some point of time. Their sorrow, their misery or their sheer hard luck is something that can extend to anyone else too OR may be the immense happiness, money, good luck and blessings of loved ones; be something that can be mine or yours anytime.


This applies to “love” as well. One must be fortunate to be able to receive and enjoy the blessings and love of your family, your girlfriend, wife or even people around. Being blessed with loving with good parents and a loving soul mate is a matter of chance, luck and fortune (and I am sure Abhi agrees with me on that one). But how many of us realize that? Only few of us are able to consistently appreciate, respect and reciprocate the immense love we are showered upon by our parents and partner. Everyone just seems to lose its value with time, especially guys. No I am not a feminist but I feel these ironies and values and life are better valued and absorbed by girls. Maybe, that’s their innate nature and strength.


But does that mean guys can afford to ignore these things……..NO. Why should we not reciprocate for what all we get in return? Ever wondered why your parents/wife keeps waiting when you return late at night OR why they keep calling you on your way back home or way to office until you reach safely OR why they pray for your well-being even when you talk to them the rudest, when upset OR ever seen a child smiling and innocently touching your face, expecting you to smile back OR an elderly lady selflessly giving you all the blessings she can just because you touched her feet……..There are no reasons, it is because it is like that. We all will be doing that when we reach that stage or are in their shoes. But when we are young and relentlessly working to make ends meet and running in this never-ending chase for money and wealth…………..we just forget OR we just don’t have time to ponder over it. But when we do it’s mostly too late.


I guess to make one’s life worth living, we must learn to adapt and start cherishing the innocence, honesty, empathy, the love and the laughter that a child has; to be able to respect and spread love, life and humanity….and just now that we are being watched and will be held responsible for our all wrong doings. Follow your heart and do your best…..do good and be good and rest will follow……
As they say “Dil Agar Sacha Ho To RABB Sab Karde Setting”…………………….and for a start “GO VOTE”……..it can be crucial for the life of the entire nation…J
