Theory of Relativity!!

                    No no no, I am not talking about any one of the two theories(special relativity and general relativity for those of us who are ignorant of his great work) by Albert Einstein..It is my new found understanding about Life, problems, happiness everything!! I wont say that it occurred to me from no-where..It was there..Always there, but I never named it!!
                   So here it is..Everything in this life is relative..Lets start with a very simple example, height..People who have seen me won't(hopefully) say that I am short!!(FYI I am 5'7").. But in my family, my father, mother and my little sister all are taller than me..They all keep teasing me for being short!! They won't even let me talk in some matters just by saying, "ohhh sorry dear , this one is not for short people!!"      :(:(:(
                  Sometimes whenever I feel that I am in midst of very big problem/situation, I simply say to myself..हे ब्रह्मांड..त्यात एवढीशी आपली आकाशगंगा..त्यात एवढीशी आपली सूर्यमाला..त्यात अगदी छोटीशी हि पृथ्वी..त्यात फक्त एक त्रीतीयांश जमीन..त्यात कोट्यावधी लोक आणि पशु-पक्षी, झाडं-झुडूप, देश, युद्ध आणि बरंच काही..त्यात माझा जीव केवढा..आणि मग माझे प्रश्न कसे काय एवढे अवघड आणि प्रचंड मोठे असू शकतील ?? See Relativity helps!! There is a reason Einstein was extra-ordinary..The concept of relativity is way beyond our brains..The second aspect of relativity is comparing your problems with your own problems!! Confusing?? Just take all your problems and then you will know what matters and what not!!
                 Talking about problems..I am fortunate to meet different kind of people in my life..People whose problems range from getting the right shade of nail color to making sure that they say the right words so as to avoid public outrages!! (FYI : Getting the right shade of nail-color can be very difficult)All kinds of people..When you meet people, who are working full time/earning their masters degree/giving back to community/working in the city council/being in fantastic physical condition still very energetic and enthusiastic to talk to you, (I am talking about just one person who does all of this) you know that you can't complain being busy..Relativity helps..It assures that everything is just fine!!
                  Enough of problems now..Someone had rightly said, Life is too short to keep thinking about problems..Well I do not live in any ideal world, so I know there are problems but there are solutions as well..And everyone one of  us would find their own solution..For now lets just remember..
हे ब्रह्मांड..त्यात एवढीशी आपली आकाशगंगा..त्यात एवढीशी आपली सूर्यमाला..त्यात अगदी छोटीशी हि पृथ्वी..त्यात फक्त एक त्रीतीयांश जमीन..त्यात कोट्यावधी लोक आणि पशु-पक्षी, झाडं-झुडूप, देश, युद्ध आणि बरंच काही..त्यात माझा जीव केवढा!!

  2. hey varun..Thank you for your reply..Your parents have rightly said that..I think you dont get happiness from outer world.
    Trust me it comes from within..I am not a philosopher..I am also learning and experiencing it..
    It is the person who chooses to be happy or not to be happy at that instance of time, not the circumstances..seems difficult but true!!

  3. ya i agree that happiness is depend upon us but we are living a society
    In this society we are living different character like father, brother, employee etc and while living these characters a person has to suffer through a lot of pain without reason. the responsible person who knows meaning of " kartvya" only and only suffer though these tension and all other masala of life.
    So i want one question, Why people not understood feeling of such caring and responsible person?............u kow what im thinking these people living arround us is only living for them. they only know how to take advantage of simple person.
