Stuck between inner voice and the voices around...

Is it wise enough to do the same to people what they do to you? Is it good to trouble someone's soul and leave it  to die in guilt? Are people really genuine when they say they are guilty or its just another part of the game they are looking to play? What are these things all about? Am i being a sadist? my inner voice is saying each time that i should not do this.. won't it be same as what he did to me?? What happiness will i get in leaving someone in trouble.. what??? nothing, absolutely nothing. The day on i have received that call and i gave rude replies,, my soul is troubled. Each moment i feel like messaging and saying no i have completely forgiven you can live your life peacefully. Agreed to the fact that what he did was all wrong, very bad and I cannot ever forgive him for it all.. never. But was i always correct? No, even i was somewhere responsible for it all. It was not one man wrong.. No way. But the voices around only say.."let him repent as what he did was wrong and no need to be Gandhi and so good all the time." agreed to all points but will one word make much difference to me?? I don't know what the situation is all.. leaving it all to time as it is best healer..

A salute to the lady of both wits and words: Kiran Bedi

“Correcting the incorrect, taking the compassionate and intelligent approach to even ugliest of realities and changing things to her vision” are few words that can capture the wit and intelligence of Kiran Bedi. Yesterday i just happened to see a video lecture of this lady and just can't get her words out of my mind. She has the power to infuse life into the dead and i think after listening to it all, i am more alive and goal oriented now. Every word, every sentence and the entire insight on things and examples she has set is worth a note and is motivating in itself. Her work and entire approach taken to correct the situations at Tihar Jail is a must read and of high acclamation. The book “ It's always possible: one woman's transformation of Tihar Jail” gives an insight into all her approaches and the situations which she transformed using the most humanitarian ways.

Jist of the entire lecture

Time and tide waits for none and hence it is very important that every minute and every second is well crafted. Ms. Bedi is one best example to quote here. Being born in a family where simplicity was to the core, Ms Bedi imbibed and instilled in her all the things remarkably well. Her father was a tennis champion and her mother was one bright and intelligent student who loved to study scholarly work. She imbibed both the virtues in her and proved her worth and wit to the masses out there. Every word that she said, i could somehow relate a few to mine and would love to imbibe the rest and be one like her someday. “Bold, fearless.. the lady who never steps aside of responsibilities and says, 'I Dare...'.”

One best line in the entire lecture was, “make big things out of small i.e. optimum utilization of resources (something that i learnt in Economics..)”. Ms. Bedi is not only a person of words but is one who does what she commits. Something like the dialouge of Salman Khan's movie Dabaang (one of my favourite.. ) “Ek baar jo commitment kardiya.. toh mein khud ki bi nai sunta.” She is a lady who not only questions the societal wrong but have all the courage to correct it. Tihar Jail is one of the best examples of her work here. Posting in jail is considered next to the dead end punishment but all punishments turn into blessing when imposed on a lady like Kiran Bedi.

Beautifully stating that one should always count on their blessings and well craft every minute of their life, Ms. Bedi well discloses the secret of how to unlock the key to success and happiness. Truly speaking, this very line "Count on your blessings" hits my mind each time i am troubled or feel dejected and shattered. Hurdles are sure to come your way but it how calmly and well you handle it is what is important. In all completeness, Ms. Bedi is a woman who deserves a unique distinction. Salute to her Courage and ability to make the best out of limited resources.
