Life Unplugged - 11

The Swing of Pendulum

Hello Folks,

After the marathon gap, the Unplugger is back in action. The more I unravel the bitch the more cryptic it gets. This occult nature pumps me to intrigue deep into and fathom it out. For past few months Life has been a sojourn from one extreme to another from one low to next high. But usually, we experience these opposites in varying degrees, which makes life more like a pendulum swinging on a fulcrum.

Life is a pendulum hanging from a chain. Every breeze of nature, every comment of persons in society, every event of chance and circumstance affects the motion of your pendulum of Life.  These are cosmic influences that you cannot control. This changes the course of the your life, leaves you in lurch and sometimes even puts you to dust. What really matters is how well you can stabilize your swing of pendulum, how well you can mitigate the variations and how well you can rise in adversity.

Like pendulum life goes through each hour, each season and each phase. It garners experiences, faces defeats, rejoices victories, experiences departures, welcomes new arrivals and teaches to continue the voyage no matter what! After getting bogged down N times, it is the spirit to stand up N+1th time that guides you to success.

Most of the human species I know either wallow about their relishing past memories or are vexed about their future. They miss the golden moment of present. Few lines apt for such morons.

We hope for the future and we curse the past,
never ever being in the golden moment,
Ever we count what we gained and lost,
never ever enjoying the moment that just passed.

As we walk through day, endless thoughts swing from ifs to buts; sway from utopian to present realities and decelerate the progress of life. When such conundrums trouble you, just focus on your key targets and work for them. See what matters to you, check where lies your happiness and then channelize your energy accordingly.

Pendulum swings left pendulum swings right. Life is also about living you choices. Make some right decisions, commit the wrong ones too. Life is more of about the experiences rather attaining the perfection. Even the pendulum stays at the centre the shortest possible time through its entire journey. The people around you are the best people to live life than getting lost in mazes of past and thinking about the perfect ones. Life is not about cribbing, grumbling and receding in disappointment. It is more about praising the deserved ones, learning the right skills and making the right moves.

Life like pendulum swings back and forth between joys and sorrows and weaves the fabric of experience with equal dedication. It is only that for some people joys come in a lot, for some sorrows while for some they are dispersed well. Folks, even I had my pie of sorrows in chunks, and I bet you nothing is more depressing when your most sought after plans come down like house of cards. The spirit to rebuild those castles of cards comes only when you motivate yourself for your targets which should be aligned with your pursuit of happiness.

Pendulum do give us lesson to jive up the life with dance, fun and frolic as it does so while moving from one end to other. The day when pendulums stops swinging will be the day one moves a step closer and finally seek out the divine treasure.

For the unplugger too, the pendulum of life is swinging from one S to another S. It’s time to say good bye and it’s also the time to welcome.

Happy Diwali guys and make your swing count!
