Tryst from Past Present & Future

We do not have the possibility to escape being responsible for ourselves. Sad, but true. I personally think that life does not follow any theory of any human being, but that all theories explain some parts and aspects of the world, but never all of it. Future is the unknown potential of our lives, evolving itself constantly. Being that, it is a dynamic form, in contrast of the
past. The central question then would be of what, which sources, the evolution of the future nourishes itself. I think that there are three sources that make the great river of future:
Our present acts, independent and individual, that we decide to make consciously.
Our personal Karma.
Our collective Karma of which we are only a small part.
(I leave aside the planetary and cosmic Karma, that would be the fourth and fifth source)

India’s First Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru political leader of the Congress Party, the first and longest-serving Prime Minister of the Republic of India. He took office as the Prime Minister of India on August 15, and delivered his inaugural address titled “A Tryst With Destiny:”
some of short version of the speech is as folloows:
“Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity.”
True words by Pt. JAWAHAR LAL NEHRU...

but now let us see the Woman's tryst with her Destiny...Life of a Women, her everlasting theory of Destiny plus few anecdotal wisdom of relationships!..."One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman...

"Recently, I was talking to a good but close friend who unveiled a bitter truth to me -"In Indian parochial society, the identity of a girl is nothing without a husband."I'm not completely convinced with this premise but if it's true then the fact that Identity of a man is also created when he works or is in engaged in some profession otherwise its zilch.So, If a man is not working or unemployed then he commands no respect from society and is considered worthless.Similarly a woman who's supposed to produce kids and raise a family has no identity without a husband and she is considered incomplete or devoid of social responsibility in this Profound World.
In last couple of years, I realized and felt that Girls are very Submissive in nature. My observations of women's phases in her Life:
1'st phase : As a daughter she will always be doing things which will keep her parents (particularly Father) happy. She will do most of the time what they wish, On rare occasions she would try to do or ask for something or look for fulfillment of her wishes.

2'nd phase: When she marries the Boy chosen by her Father. She would start looking for happiness by doing things which her husband approves of or things to his liking. In many instances she would have to kill her desires & wishes to keep HIM happy.

3'rd phase: When she gives birth to a Baby then she will start finding happiness in her baby's smile. The entire world is seen as a Congenial place if her baby is Happy and calls her “Mummy”.
As the time passes by and the baby grows - If it's daughter she would imbibe her learnings of Life in her by saying “ The truth of Life is Sour, Accept it” and If boy she would in most cases would try to be happy if He gives an iota of respect to her mother.
It's strange and funny that Our Lives are so entwined in the Social Circle that I feel there is only one controlling factor now called "SOCIETY".

And about the FUTURE Tryst , life does not follow any theory of any human being, but that all theories explain some parts and aspects of the world, but never all of it.

MY MOM...

Respect seems to be like a boomerang in the sense that you must send it out before it will come back to you. Respect cannot be demanded or forced it can only be earned. As I see it, respect is something that is earned. One earns another's respect by voluntarily doing the things such as taking that person's feelings, needs and thoughts into consideration. My MOM is the only person whom i not only RESPECT but also LOVE a lot and definitely going to do that till my last breath. She has taught me to always try my best, to treat everyone equally, to not give up when things get hard. She tells me to at all times be honest because in the end, lies always hurt more. She instills the importance of family and of doing well at school in me.

When I make decisions and she doesn't always agree with them, she makes sure that I know that she is behind me all the way because she wants me to always be happy. She has taught me right from wrong and the significance of self-respect. She is my mother, the greatest influence in my life. Not only as a mom but also as a friend.

A time that is really prominent in my mind, that I hope I always remember that i was not one the brightest student in my class and being from a small town there was always a feeling of inferiority from other guys ..I was kind of afraid that the guys n gals wouldn't talk to me but I still held my ground. Then my mom was the only person who brought me out of this inferior complexity...First and foremost and only thing (a weapon) my mom taught me was to be happy and true to myself because I can never not face myself, and the choices I make. The talk with my mom helped me tremendously. The "easy way out" as my mom called it. In the end, she and I became good friends. She helped me realize that I was intelligent enough to be in the class that is why I was put in it, and that I could do anything I put my mind to.
When I grow up, I hope I can be just like her. She is the person who feed me the feeling of Dignity, Self Respect, Self confidence. Therefore, since my mom has taught me morals, values, respect, and has always been there for me, she is a significant person in my life. Everyone deserves to have a person who they look up to, even if it's not a parent or family member.

Recently when I was at a party with some close friends, a really good-looking girl I didn't know came over to me. "Hey what's your name? Would you like to come smoke a cigarette with me?" The first thing that popped into my mind was how my mom always taught me never to smoke because it is bad and could cause serious health problems. To this you might call me a mama's boy but to it i don't have any problem, as i know the person who matters me, (an for sure it's not you..) -it's my MOM and my mom's sayings...

Mom is always there to provide the love and support just when it's needed most...."Think before you act," "you will always have a choice to be happy or sad, to do what is good or bad and to do the right thing," is what she tells me.
This ,I owe to you for all your deeds that you've done to me.

LOVE YOU !!! MOM...
