REALISING THE VALUE OF PEOPLE


The biggest problem with humans is that they don’t realize the value of people until they leave us. And it’s not like I don’t face this problem, I face it too. When that person is there with us, we can hate him/her, we can love them, we can underestimate them, and we can do all sorts of stuff. But then that not-so-happy day comes and those people leave us. This happened to me about 2-3 times. The second or third time I realized the value of people as someone really close to me left me.
Last year on the 12th of February my dearest principal left me. When she was alive, I remember taking out imperfections in every decision she took.  ‘Why did she cancel the picnic?!’, ‘Why does she come so late to the assembly?!’ etc-etc. I accept I said all of this, but whenever we had a special assembly and she read something from the Bible or read out some moral story, I always listened to them carefully. One of the important teachings that she gave us was “Children, everything happens for good. If someone leaves you, it is for some reason. You should never lose hope.”
Maybe, it was meant to be. Maybe, she left us so that we would become more responsible girls, HER responsible girls. She always addressed us as HER children, not her students, not her school’s children, but HER own girls. She was so cute and chubby, I always wanted to pull her cheeks and hug her, and I am sure she would have not been offended if I did that. I regret not doing that.

The most important thing that I learned after she left was the value of people. I learnt that we should value each and every person and moment of our lives. We never know when all those lovely people and moments will be taken away from us.

वृक्ष उन्हें भी छाया, लकड़ी और फल देते हैं जो उन्हें काटते हैं

          मनुष्य के जीवन में वृक्ष की बहुत मान्यता है| वृक्ष हमें कितनी सारी चीज़ें प्रदान करते हैं| परन्तु सबसे अहम् वे हमें आक्सीजन देते हैं, जिसके कारण हम जीवित हैं| कहीं-न-कहीं हम सब को यह बात पता है कि वृक्ष हमारे लिए बहुत महत्वपूर्ण हैं, तब भी हम उन्हें काटते हैं|           वृक्ष उन्हें भी छाया, लकड़ी और फल देते हैं जो उन्हें काटते हैं| यह बात हम सब को पता तो है परन्तु कोई मानना नहीं चाहता| हम जब पेड़ों को काटते हैं तो यही सोचते हैं कि "एक पेड़ को काटने से क्या हो जायेगा"| लेकिन एक-एक करके वे लाखों की तादाद में कट जाते हैं| दोस्तों! पर्यायवरण के बारे में नहीं, तो, कम-से-कम अपने बारे में हे सोच लीजये| अगर पेड़ नहीं तो हम नहीं|           अच्छा वो सब छोडिये| एक बात बताइए, आज-कल काफी गर्मी हो रही है ना? बारिश का तो नामो-निशाँ नहीं है| घर से बहार निकलो तो लगता है की अभी बस बेहोश हो जायेंगे| लेकी  इन सब का कारण क्या है? पेड़ों का काटना| जी हाँ! पेड़ों के काटने से मौसम में काफी बदलाव आते हैं| बारिश न होना, अत्यंत...

HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY/ गणतंत्र दिवस की बधाई

We celebrate Republic Day on 26th January every year as a remembrance of our Constitution. The Constitution of India came into effect from 26th January, 1950 and made India a completely independent republic . We also celebrate the Constitution Day on 26th November because on 26th November 1949 we adopted our Constitution. The Constitution is also the supreme law of the land and none can violate the provisions of the Constitution. I wonder how difficult is it to understand the Indian Constitution because we have a Preamble to the Constitution which is the basic structure of the Constitution and which tells us the main aims and what is the Indian Constitution all about. Our ancestors, freedom fighters gave us this Constitution to have a definite and written set of laws/rules which would be followed throughout the years. The Constitution declares all the citizens as equal and cannot be discriminated on any ground. Being a political science student, I studied the Constitution, the arti...

Death & Numb Feelings

TW: THIS POST TALKS ABOUT DEATH AND EMOTIONS RELATED TO IT, WHICH MAYBE PROVOKING.  Today, I was watching an English show and the particular episode was about someone passing away. It reminded me of the time between 2020- till date and all the people I lost during this time period.  I also realized how during this whole hustle of battling corona and life I had actually not gotten the time to even mourn properly. We all lost so many people during Corona and we couldn't even be there with our loved ones because of the fear of the spreading virus. Adulting hit a little more when I also realized that due to college and being so far away I couldn't attend funerals of my loved ones.  I cried watching the episode today. It felt good to get a little weight off my chest because hearing about deaths during Covid made me so numb that I couldn't even cry. I know that becoming completely numb about feelings is not healthy, but I guess that's just how I became during Covid and its st...
