If I knew Then Whatever I Know Now


From a long time, I was cogitating of something good to write on. Every night, I sat in front of my laptop and ended up watching some sitcom or movie. But today something weird happened.



Though it gave me an idea to write on or Should I say a Question to think upon. But thinking about that topic made me come to see every color on my face. Initially I felt quiet low, then better, much better and finally the best. Now I am brimming with thoughts and energy.
Life is so interesting guys, it just throws new situations on you at any moment. Not wasting any time, let’s start off with the situation (the one I faced today).
                                                                            *****
Today, I switched on my laptop and saw an old friend's name on a social networking site. She made me think of the last time we conversed. It was not a healthy discussion. Confusion lead to altercation.
We fought and then she stopped talking to me. With time, I moved on and forgot her completely until today afternoon. I messaged her admitting my mistakes and apologized for them. But she started off with the mess again. I wasn't in a state to take more so I just told her that I am sorry for my second approach to improve our relation.
After that moment of rage and anger passed, I felt little depressed. But this girl provided me with a game that made the energy spurt into my body again from its reserves. I call that game as:-

                                                    If I Knew Then Whatever I Know Now
When we look back at our mistakes, we cry or laugh or a bit of both of them. But what would you have done if you knew that how things will sprout up in the future? Would you have quit your job before? Would have married your husband or wife? Would you have returned to your country before it was too late?
Now, its to time think guys. All the things that you rued upon, things you want to edit or even remove from your past.
What would you have done if I would have given you a time machine??

When I see back, I feel that sometimes I never thought that I am committing such a big blunder. I didn't have any idea that what I am doing or saying today can hurt someone or me back. Rarely, things are different from my side but the end result kept itself pretty same. I made my end clear but the other side changed its usual course. Things went topsy-tervy in both the cases. Sometimes in life you know that what you are about to do can be a mistake but you are never certain that it is a mistake. The only way to find if it’s a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say that “Yep!! It was a mistake”. One should commit such mistakes to know and learn more about mistakes (even I think I have committed some mistakes in this sentence :P).  Sometimes, you think of doing good but it goes the wrong way. Saying what you exactly feel (at the wrong time) is also a mistake. Some mistakes gives us experience while some ruin a part of our life. Some become precious moments in life while some may turn the air blue.
Playing this game and looking back at all the mistakes made me learn few important things. Mistakes are important part of one’s life. They teach us or test us. They are meant to be fought with courage and patience. They are like a barometer of our life which indicates that how much we evolved with time.
A person experiences different events in his life. Everyone goes through thick and thin. Some are worse, some are great and some are encouraging while some shatter your confidence. But how can one find out if he evolved after going through all this or regressed back?
 Mistakes are the right pick to find this out friends. Think about them again. Construct a whole situation again, keeping in mind the things faced by the other side due to you, inference, path taken to reach the outcome. After this, you will come to know about your current level. Your take on that situation will change if you have evolved or regressed. BE HONEST TO YOURSELF and your answer will lie somewhere in your mind.
“What life has taught and made me till now?”
Try to find out the answer.

After following what I said (for the fight I mentioned before), I thought
...
.....
.....
She deserved it and I rocked it!!!
:P
P.S- I called her up. Listened to her feelings and now everything is back on track.

Dad- My Super Hero

Drove 18.7kms to reach the Service Tax Office in afternoon. Parked the car in parking of the office and went inside with my dad. Entered the restricted section of the office, THE SALES TAX BAR ASSOCIATION. My Dad is an advocate and visits these offices frequently. Got a seat next to him. A peon came and offered us water. I Quenched my thirst and just had a look all around. I don't know what happened to me but I just felt like giving PA A TIGHT HUG!!!
I had many emotions in my heart which were ready to burst out. Somehow, I managed to control myself. Complete life history flashed in my mind and was lost in some other world.
                                                                            *****
Superman and Batman are some of the most renowned heroes of the comic world. While in reel-life, Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan, Al Pacino and Gary Cooper are famous.
In real life, only one super hero is known- A Father.

Heroes in films and comics are always picturised as someone with super-natural powers, who can fight with every problem and win. In real life, Father is one who doesn't possess any super-power but has the capability and strength to get into any trouble and save his child from it, not caring about himself.
This was a little emotional part. But actually,
  • How to define "DAD"?
When doctor tells a woman that she is pregnant, then she is the only person responsible for protecting her child till the child is not born and is inside her womb. Delivery is termed as the most painful process in which a human being survives. So, her affection is unquestionable and ineffable.

After the birth of the child, the responsibility of "protection" shifts to a newly introduced character for the child, FATHER. The moment he takes his child in hands, his world comes to a stand still. He forgets all his problems with a mere touch of the child. The moment he brings the child close to his chest, heart beats stops for some time to protect the child even from the slight vibration of his heart.
That's how I can define a Father.
As the child grows, he/she starts to crawl on the floor. The transition from crawling to the baby-steps is due to a father. He would always take the finger of the child in his hand and try to make him walk. He will always hold the child from sides to protect him from falling down.

A baby boy will play his first ball and baby girl will paddle her first bicycle in presence of her Father. Baby Boy would grow up to become a friend and a support to his Father and Baby Girl would become an emotional and mental strength of him.
For a boy, his dad is an Inspiration. He is like someone with a Towering Personality who will be always behind him whenever he needs him. Be it any thing, his dad would understand. After entering teen age, Father is more like a Friend to him. One with whom he can play chess, Carom Board, T.V Video Games. One with whom he will sit for hours and repair various electronic gadgets at home. One with whom he can sit and watch news just because his dad wants to see what is going on.
And for a Daughter, dad is someone whom she can trust blindly. A son can still fight with his dad but a daughter would always do whatever her Father would ask her to do. Dad is her inner power. She can fight with the world if her dad is behind her. Her dad's respect is everything for her. Without his support, she feels herself to be lonely and fragile as he is the support that can hold her together.
As they mature-

a boy always has this thing in his mind that Only Friend Who Will Never Hurt Him is HIS DAD and a girl realizes that that Her Dad Is The Only Guy Who Will Never Break Her Heart and Will Think Best For Her.

Suddenly my father shook me and asked, "U slept Beta?"
My answer was,"Just woke up Dad".
Probably he didn't understand why I said so but I meant what I said to him.
Maybe he is not the perfect man, maybe he possesses thousands of flaws. But for me he is
MY DAD- MY ONLY SUPER HERO!!!
