The Life of Emptiness

Do you know atoms? The smallest particles that constitute an object? Technically, about 99.99% of a helium atom is empty. This means it has that much-unoccupied space within them, well waste space. It's almost similar to all atoms. So, what if there is no waste space? simply saying, you are planning to hang a decor at home roof. you just need a meter of rope. But if you have a very long one what you do? You will just cut the required length. right? So what if we can do the same to our atoms, the basic building matter? what if we removed the unwanted space? Do we shrink? I don't know science. But with common sense, once space is removed, it becomes small and so we may shrink. If that happened then we all humans can live in 1/100th of place, we live right now. (Just an imagination)

Well, Is it possible now? No, I believe it's never. As same like that our life is made up of emptiness. You cannot live a life without complaining about even a small thing. Definitely once or many you end up living the worst moment at least once. But you want to worry about that? No. Never worry about the worst moments in life. They seem to cause emptiness in your life. The thought of what to do next, thoughts of self complaining, bad habits, depression, and self-destructive thoughts are like voids which come in everyone's life as like the empty space. But remember there are still protons, neutrons, and electrons inside the atom. This constitutes our life. You just need to learn to balance the life equations.

I won't say life is not of emptiness. But I say it must be with emptiness. If not so, then how will you learn to react, respond and live? So welcome the emptiness wholeheartedly and balance your life with happiness.

Have a good day!

The Guardian of Dogs

Few situations and happenings are always rememberable and it impacts us in a positive way. Those experiences change a person partially/completely, the way he views life. Like "A Hungry Stomach and Empty Pocket" some happenings make you learn the life. That day, there happened an incident which impacted my life.

It was, as usual, a pleasant morning. But something was different. I just woke up wondering where I am. Oh, I was in my cousin's room in Chennai. This was my second time visiting Chennai, after my Anna University counsellings. This time I came here to attend a workshop. My cousin told me - it's 6.40 now.

Err., It's getting late. Few mins let me get ready. I took a quick shower and found my way out dressed in a short span of time, around 20 mins. The session starts around 9.30 a.m. But my cousin has a different plan and he mentioned a travel for about an hour. We took breakfast on the way at a hotel. He dropped me in Tharamani in front of the spot where I wanted to go. I viewed my watch, long hand striking at 8 while small hand moves past 8. I was too early there!!

I thought of waiting for my juniors to join me instead moving in. So I found a small corner on the side road to rest and started surfing the internet. As it was Sunday, I just saw two or three vehicles passed by. After few minutes, I saw an auto stopped near me around 10 meters gap.  The auto driver parked his vehicle nearby and got busy with his phone.

A lady dropped out from the auto. She had tangled hair and a normal attire. I can't go through her face clearly. But I assume she is one of the most beautiful souls in the world. She carried two bowl-like plates and a big carry bag. She moved near an empty space at the road corner and unpacked the items in the carry bag.

She kept the plates on the ground and started pouring milk on both. The street dogs around came near her and started having their breakfast. There were around 7 to 8 dogs and she fed all. As soon as they gathered, she unpacked a few packs of rusks from that carry bag and started distributing them to. She also poured some water after the milk vanished from the plates. Among those people, who see street dogs with fear and as enemies, she was very different. She caressed them and fed them.

From their condition, I can say, those dogs won't get food properly, maybe a one-time meal per day. But that day, they were blessed to have a great breakfast because of her. I saw the happiness and love she showed towards those dogs.

Then she carried on her journey from the same auto. That big carry bag had some more stuff inside. I am sure she was going to another place where these kinds of dogs are left uncared.

Life has many things to teach. The people around you teach you everything. Your environment makes you grow what you are. My mother has said once, "don't show grace to unknown people these days. they may cheat you". But I don't think so!!

She, her kindness towards animals made that day. Yes, she is the Guardian of Dogs. An unforgettable incident in my life, that made me think. May God bless her :)

(I wanted to go and talk to her that day, but I don't want to interrupt her. So I took a photo of her for my memory. Whenever I see, few thoughts plunge into my head about humanism and charity. Here is that pic for you. If you know her/came to meet her do say thanks in regards to me)
