It is easy to advice. But when it comes to me, it is difficult to take it. It is easy to say so many things to others to follow regarding money earning, job, marriage, leading life and so many things. But when it comes to me, I try to balance my emotion and keep mum or say nothing. Others have taken it seriously and I think I am the master of their life. It is difficult to understand another’s view on any topic, let alone pass my judgement or opinion. I try to be happy now-a-days by keeping silent and say nothing, unless I am confident that the result will be positive. Is it a good attitude as I have a feeling I am getting boring and not a responsible man. I am open and welcome the suggestions of you all.

There are many people suffering from no job presently. Many apply through Newspapers and Internet. But what an agony they must be facing. How do they spend time? To segregate the applications, prepare the CV, apply and spend the time effectively! The world economy is just built up what we humans would want it to be. My life has gone complex and I have to make it simple. My daily requirements are becoming huge like morning toothpastes, to hair oil, perfumes, dresses, bed and eating habits. And apart from this school, driving and even relaxation techniques have been constantly put up for spending more and I have to earn. This is the world I have to face. And I have to work. There need not be any confusion about working – I have to choose the work and be competitive. Here comes the challenge – How to live up to face the competition? Work!

I cannot think for myself. All that I learn is from external source. It is like this – the moment I think, I am nothing, I cannot function in this world at all. So I am something, God has given me ability to think and act. So I must act and not be concerned about the result of it. If I act this way, I am not bound to fail. I cannot think, I am alright – I must be right. If I leave the worry to God, He takes care of me. The perfect act of thinking and acting comes to me after so many years, so I think. But even this can be objected by others, so what do I do? I simply live on and keep the smile on me positively. The world is perfect and I am able to live with it, I am thankful to God.

The friends are of different types, not dependent on age. My classmates in schools and colleges may form the cream. But in my difficult days, people who have helped me by money, advice and physically are best. When I need a friend, if I call he will be available with me. And he will share with me nice and bad things about me. He will not help me with money, job or use his influence to get anything done for me. Still he will be with me, by my side. He will send me mails, of the route where I am going, what I need to do. Friends are there, to be contacted when you need them. It may take years while you have not contacted them, but the moment they hear you and your voice, they respond with a joy! It is easy to say a friend is indeed a pleasure!

We all really suffer from age related problems. God has given us enough freedom, freewill and knowledge to judge things, places and people’s words of wisdom. But everything I deny, at my own judgement, will and well being due to money, health or position I hold. Sometimes our judgement takes us to a good path and we think we are supreme. When we fail, we remember God and either start praying or abusing him. All this goes on till the age of retirement and good health. Once my health is disturbed and a series of specialists and medicines comes into my life, I tend to believe in God more fiercely and take remedial steps.

I went to Rameswaram recently and the holy trip and books that I read about the holy place made me really obedient to Life and respect for the elders (not related to age) and what they speak.
