TRUST - HAVE WE LOST IT REALLY?

-

Few days back while I was driving on a busy road, waiting, dodging and carefully going forward to my destination, a thought crossed my mind.  Trust - it is a big word.  It has made lives.  It has destroyed careers.  It has a huge payback debt too. However, is it true that in the fast moving world trust is slowly losing its existence?  At many instances, I have seen and heard these thoughts surfacing.

However, when I think of a simple instance of driving on road - I feel trust will have to exist till mankind does.  In every small and big way, it has to coexist with the super-being called human.  Now coming back to driving on road, when we are on our path on a vehicle, a two-wheeler, four-wheeler or a public transport, don't we trust the other people on road?  We do not know them. We may have not met them before. Still the factor of trust exists.  One may wonder how.  We trust they will follow their lane.  We trust they will apply brakes if we are crossing.  We trust them to follow the rules.  Even in the public vehicles, we trust an unknown driver.  Sometimes the driver whom we have not even seen.  That is the trust so easily placed not only by us but unknowingly by everyone there.

It happens in many phases of life, but the instance is so trivial that it goes unnoticed. It happens everywhere- in a hotel where we trust the cook and the waiter that the food being served is hygienic and safe to consume.  Trust exists when we buy things from a shop may be small or big that the thing we purchase shall stand up to our expectation.  Trust follows when we meet a doctor, and we place the lives of ours and beloved in his/her hands.  Trust is there when we entrust our child's future in the hands of a teacher. In all walks of life, at all times, trust has been there and will be there.  Otherwise, it is impossible for us to survive.

So, the good news is trust is there, and it will have to be there till the end of the world!!!

Mind and Body

 Health is Wealth - a very old saying that is true to the core. Long back, health meant only Physical wellbeing, but slowly we discovered that Health is also mental well-being and that the mind and body are deeply connected. I have met different types of people - few exist in our families itself. However let me be specific on what criteria am I classifying these people. This time, our classification is based on how they react on being sick. We have type 1 - who believe that body is the greatest healer and it heals with time. There are type 2 - who will wait and watch and will get help only if things worsen. There is type 3 - who will get worried on the warning sign and will immediately seek help. I belong to the type 3, not because being unwell scares me, but I know being a mother, sister, wife, employee and many others, I can't afford to be unwell. So there is no time to experiment. On one such occasion, I decided to find a homeopathic solution to my problems. An appointment fixed...

Uncertainty

Our life is full of ups and downs, twists and  turns no less than a popular daily soap on television. Many times we all wished if only we knew what is to happen in future - things could have been better. A time when there was something as little as an unexpected rain to something that could be life changing like someone's unprecedented illness, etc we have wished that only if we knew it. Knowing something in advance is to be certain about something. If we believe in the Almighty - that is we believe that there is some power which governs us all, then we have also known through various stories and folklores that this power has always prevented us from knowing the future. If he is our creator and the birth giver of this entire universe, we must be sure that he cannot do anything against our good. So then, why this restriction? There are many stories about this. One in which, when God completed making his best creation- Man, he was so happy that he asked Man to ask for a boon. As gree...

Music

  Words may not be enough to speak about this universal language - MUSIC. Not exaggerated, it is a medium of connection between all living beings even plants. There have been experiments providing proofs of plants growing better and patients healing faster with this magic called music. Not only physical but music has an effect mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. May be that's why when humans tried to connect with the Almighty sang hymns and prayers. What more can one ask for from this magical potion that nourishes mind, body and soul. Often one has observed that when sad you feel to listen to music that matches your sadness, and when happy, we switch to joyful ones. However, if you wish to use this music as a remedy try the vice versa. If sad, listen to joyful chirpy music and see how it elevates your mood. Loads of work - switch on some favourite music and work would be done with ease. Whatever I said so far must have been known to many. However, this topic came to my mind...
