What next?

What next? 


Our entire life switches between two phases continuously - Good and bad.
Good times gives us new friends and bad times the genuine ones.
Each phase has its own beauty.
One makes us thankful to God and the other brings us closer to Him.

We all hope that the bad phase ends up soon and we jump into the good phase , the phase of settlement we may call it.

But after thinking (yes i do it often), i realize that the good phase also has two phases which are  "get this" and "what next".

We all go through a rat race in early stages of our lives in school,college ,job search and what is waiting for us at the end of this race , a "9 to 5" trap with a 6 figure salary as bait and most of us want to be trapped into  it .In fact all of us , and those who are left are considered losers .

And after getting into this trap , we are never able to get out of this "what next" phase.We don't know what we want in life and resort to useless entertainment,overthinking,over expenditure to satisfy ourselves , but we are never satisfied.

We are so confused , that we often feel directionless.May be because we did not know what we want to do, and we  had spent our entire student life thinking about how to make a living in future.

Sometimes this "what next" phase is a bit frustrating , we want to be in a "get this" phase but there is a lack of clarity.
This "what next" phase has given rise to many unconventional career choices like vlogging,coaching,youtubing,startups where talented people can earn money along with self fulfillment.

People are quitting their 9 to 5 jobs because it is not feeding their souls.

As i am in electronics domain, i think our life's stages are also like the stages of a Bipolar junction transistor.
The bad phase is the "cut-off" state, where we are in this aloof introspective phase of how to reach the state of happiness.
We strive hard for success in our get this phase , we are in "active state" full of adrenaline and push ourselves  to reach our goals.We are most satisfied in this state .
 In "saturation state",we have already achieved what we were trying to get in the "active  state",that job,that person or that car, we are at maximum comfort.

But what next? This makes us uncomfortable again.

So yes this is a loop , you can never escape.



Thanks for reading ... :)

  1. Human's expectation define the bad & good in our life. To break the loop, (I think) we need to leave all expectations(our & others).

Acha Lagta Hai

  कबूतरों का झुण्ड जब ज़मीन से उड़कर आसमां छूता है ,अच्छा लगता है | चिलचिलाती धूप मैं जब बादल सूरज को ढक लेता है ,अच्छा लगता है |  बारिश के बाद पत्तियों का रंग भी अच्छा लगता है |  सर्द दिनों मैं सूरज की किरणें लगती है जब तन को,अच्छा लगता है   |  बहुत कोशिशों के बाद पा जाती हूँ जब कुछ, अच्छा लगता है  |  बिना कहे जब कोई समझ जाता है बात, अच्छा लगता है |  कर दे कोई अचानक ही तारीफ तो अच्छा लगता है |  करती हूँ जब  कुछ अलग तो अच्छा  लगता है |  किसी रोज़ देखती हूँ जब ऊँचाई से , उगते या ढलते सूरज को तो, अच्छा लगता है |  उड़ते हुए पंछिओं क़ो जब देखकर आसमान में , सोचती हूँ कि क़ाश उनमें से एक मैं भी  होती तो अच्छा लगता है |  सब ढूँढ़ते है ज़िन्दगी में दौलत ,शोहरत और प्यार  पर मुझे तो छोटी छोटी चीज़ों में ही खुशियाँ ढूँढ़ना , अच्छा लगता है ||

The CycleMan

Cycle man was a simple man with a crooked nose,red teeth (he ate supari a lot may be) and with a happy smile ( i can detect when a smile is happy or fake). Like in my office most of the time we  smile on people while saying good morning or hello (so its real by few people) but that is a thing of past too due to this quarantine phase of our lives.  I saw him only once in my life and i have forgot his face but don't know why his memory is there at the back of my mind always. I am calling him cycle man because it was the only costly materialistic thing he possessed  since a happy soul ,contentment and his stunt skills can't be count as possessions. This was during my Udaipur visit with my friends. Udaipur is a very nice place to travel , the majestic palaces,vast and calm lakes,super delicious street food,lakeside hotels ,folk music,refreshing tea,warm rajasthani hospitality,beautiful sunrise and even more beautiful sunset  and everything that makes you feel...
