Failure of Success...

Aaah...nothing really great to write about...having a "blogger's block" these days :D

Somehow over the last month things kept happening or maybe my mind wondered(or wandered, whatever) quite a lot...and now everything seems so balanced and rythmic...nothing unusual to be amazed at!...and perhaps this is again something unusual...well if you want to write a blog...you'll get 100 hundred reasons to keep posting...:D

But seriously...how many times do we get bored when everythings going perfectly?! And how many times do we get frustrated when something breaks your rythm, your momentum...thats the weird inertia of the mind...it just cant keep quite and can't tolerate things going out of its control...we just want to have a bit of a game with life...knowing that we'll always win!

Hard to believe...and yet so true...and thats the 'Failure of Success'!
When I started playing Chess about 15 years ago I always heard Makrand Dada(my Guru) that Chess teaches you to handle defeats...and I couldnt get it till years later...
My dad always said, "achieving something is easy...maintaining it is the real challenge...dis is what Jijau taught Shivaji!"

And now the meanings clear...its very hard to face a small failure or a tiny disturbance when you are in such a good harmony, and in total control of things...one off-day and Batsmen lose form, one wrong footing and bowlers go all cranky...

And its so wonderful to think how even these small agitations add spice to our lives...like I always say..."Ravanashivay Ramala mahatva nahi!(Ram's importance derives from Ravana)" and success isnt sweet if you get it very easily...perhaps, doing something easy isnt at all success!



Its all about a balance...good or bad...Nature will always maintain a universal and local balance! And its just our viewpoint that defines things as good or bad...Success always tends to blo your ego...problems always mature you more...its just a shift in how we look at things...and its such a wonderful game...India vs Pakistan...both great teams...equally good, and the twists just make the match more enjoyable...no matter who wins in the end!
