Review of Tale in Brighter Angle and Few Sprightful Insights

                  Since the beginning of yet another episode in the home nation, there is hardly any view to see other than pitch black hopelessness which gave fuel to past post of complaints. Initially, the thought is to create some laughter of how a loser would whine and point against everything but it slipped out of control and turned out to be more serious. As always, the objects of complain did nothing compared to what I did to myself. There seemed to be a change is perspective and people are more willing to help me. But I had been completely sunk in the ocean and seeing pitch black since last year or so. No matter how hard you try to help me, I will find a reason to keep me unenthusiastic and unhappy. The bottom line is, to limit the damage inflicted by multitudes over a period of time by a zilch and not to keep me insane, I was given a job in an unassuming company. I am not complaining further, assumed full responsibility and going on full throttle by not giving away any chance to prove myself.

                   There are many naysayers who suggest I am cribbing a lot without looking optimistic. It is through the accumulation of such positives, I landed in a job which I do not dare to dream during day time either. There are many of such good deeds, that my net worth can only be matched remotely by my present job. No other job can come close to justification. If I am to remain true to myself and dream for what I truly deserve, then sky is also not a limit. You have to extend the limit to planets. But I would like to look down and remain grounded. The remaining post will delve on the positives of the past since the decision is to change the track and strike a more optimistic chord.

                   There is hardly any person who works in the foreign nation and bring back the fruits for the own people who truly deserve them. I am privileged to be in such a position and capacity. Foreign life is more materialistic but it does not give any satisfaction of working for the own land and people. My trips have made me experience it firsthand. Though you remain on a pedestal in the home land and in social circle about being foreign, this does not seem correct to me. The one who struggles in the home land community should be held high. I was fortunate to live up to my conscience and no amount of money can bring this satisfaction. If anything, money might have even played a spoilsport. It is noteworthy that I failed for good and there is always a reason higher than the petty personal issues for my failure. If not the story would not have happened this way.

                    On my second trip, even before I settled down in the foreign nation after the long journey and change in place, an acquaintance believed I came for ‘smuggling’ again. Though I never wanted to do that and never believed in that, this is what actually happened. This should never be mistaken because this ‘smuggling’ is not one-sided but done on both directions – more like disbursing and sharing the kitty in geographically different locations. You can hardly find anyone who works interchangeably in the countries. If not for a special person with a special purpose, this story would not have entered the special route.

                     Though I failed personally, the foreign nation laid down few tests and I came out successful at a very important phase of my life. This not only changed the public perspective, but I was made more livable and affable. These tests will only make you successful, if you are worthy of the high life aftermath. I thoroughly deserve the gain after all the daily pain that went till the point. Once again, no amount of money could have compensated those virtues and values.  It even transpired that I went thus far to give those tests and return home.

                     It is very easy to fill the stomach of a person with job and salary. But not all too easy to keep it empty and give out rejections. Many times, rejection for good reasons is better than acceptance. An individual must be able to recognize this line between good and bad reasons for rejection and keep on marching without giving up. I should have enjoyed more in my failures rather than complain because happiness in sad state is a measure of a mature man. This is nothing short of content which millions of people in home nation project day-in and day-out with those bare minimal living standards.

                     My journey to the foreign nation and the ensuing attempts laid the foundation for my present job which I cannot even dream about. At the time of resignation from my last company, hardly I thought that I can get into another company of equal value. This is not only met but also surpassed by a few miles. Falling from a height in level and status is a scenario which is always being portrayed vividly. Thanks to the karma, this is evaded for now. I climbed the ladder through the accumulation of many positives and asking for more is not only immature but also greedy.

                     The return to the country had me visiting few states. I got down the flight in Mumbai. Though there is not much time, an incident did occur.  The auto rickshaw person is so clever that he completely deceived me and bowled me over. He was hardly 4 feet but charged 300 for 3 kilo meters and even threatened me on top of that. I somehow pulled up my senses and came out of that incident. I think every city has its flair and this is the flair of Mumbai – to overwhelm the public. I also visited Pune and stayed for few days which gave me memories for life – weeping in cross roads etc. before finally descending the tsunami on the 2 states. Though you are living outside the home states and feeling good about it, a feeling crept that you hardly muster complete support for your growth and well-being outside the home turf. There are no outward signs of friendship brewing between the states and there are no signs of trouble either. Everything is pleasant and the situation is peaceful on the surface. From my trysts with the subject and years of experience, I need to tell that re-unification ought to be seriously considered as it the only channel through which people can co-exist amicably. This is relevant since other side is viewed as a natural enemy. To remove such notions and for evading any future war mongering, there need to be more goodwill measures from the top leadership to reach out either side.
