The game is on

The game is on.
Being a Sherlock fan,it seemed appropriate that the first line should be the one written.
Before going further,I want to state that nothing written here is unique and the only source of information.In fact they are taken from books, movies etc which affected my own thought pattern over a period of time.
What I want to say that that after religiously watching Sherlock for about 7-10 times per episode, my brain somehow forgot to realise that what I was following was a work of art and is absolutely fictional.I indeed started thinking that if enough observations are made then it is possible for me to predict future.
I started making observations and predicting what would happen next.
In that same period, I met a girl, fell in love with her and wanted to impress her as fast as possible.I began planning our conversations. I made a flow chart of my questions and her probable answers.I even imagined that there can only be such and such possible answers for a given question.
All my work was obliterated the moment I started talking to her and her answers would almost never be the same as per my preparation.It would baffle me to no end.
WHY Can't I predict someone's response accurately.
To get the answer of this question became very important for the mental peace.I started reading about the ways our mind works and predicts the future.After reading almost 30 different books ,I realized that it's almost impossible for a human being to exactly predict the events of the future.Our attempt of doing so is nothing more than a guess work which if comes true then you feel like saying     'I said you so'.I needlessly tormented my life in January because I predicted that something very nasty will happen in June.It never happened in June.
God never gave this power to us and we must thank her/him/it for that.Life is absolutely worth living without this ability.Its a way of the almighty to indicate that to focus on NOW is the best way possible.
Focus improves with time and when you have practiced enough, you realize that it's not the stars that create light but rather light that creates the stars.

    Hi, Mr.Rahul,

    Really nice....

    It is the only way to understand God's game, he know everything but same time he given you mind to react with your mind action. Books will give you flavour of words and reading them makes mind's arguments, so follow the time with best practice to get peace of mind.

    Good luck....

    Regards
    A Wahid

Rahul was frustrated as he did not like the situation around his life. His wife Radha came to him and said, 'What happened?You face looks a bit long and red'. 'I am frustrated because I see a huge difference between what people think, say and do.It's like you can't trust anyone'. Rahul was visibly frustrated. 'Let me tell you a story Rahul! I think it will help you',Radha said. 'I am all ears' ,Rahul said. Radha started the story. A hippopotamus named Minku opened a shop at a corner  of the jungle.Few other animals joined him and thus a group was created.They hired some 30 animals to run the shop and a doe named Tintu to look after the animals. Tintu was hardworking.She was empathetic to the workers and usually stood up for their well being. As a result,every animal tried their best to run the shop to the best of their ability.Profit increased and was fairly distributed among the animals.This fair treatment made them happier and hence more produc...

The Red Wedding ( Not from Game of Thrones)💑

Please read the first part of the story   The Gift  before reading onwards. I was hoping for some news in a week but could not muster the courage to ask about it from Rohan given how the situation unfolded last time. After nearly two months, I got the invitation card and that summed up everything. I went to the wedding and tried to help in any way I could. After interacting with various people involved, I learned that like everything else in life, a wedding can be observed from various points of view. Everyone involved is in it for their own reason and motivation. A wedding, especially in the Indian context, is one of the major events in the life of so many people. No wonder they plan it for years and are ready to go down in debt to make it a grand affair.  I heard many people criticizing the food and arrangement. I realized that no matter how well you do something,  you can never make everyone happy.  It was a night wedding and I stayed up all night to hel...

'It's wrong' , Rahul yelled at top of his voice. 'What is wrong? and why are you shaking?' , asked his wife Radha. 'It's an incident I had to witness way back in 2004. It still fills me with rage when I think of it' , Rahul said. He was still not stable. ' Please tell me! I want to know' ,said Radha. ' Rohan was a very good friend of mine. He lived with his parents and two elder sisters. His father was a post man and  a well known person in our area. Everyone respected him. He was my classmate.One day he looked very sad.I asked him about it.He said, ' My uncle and aunt came to meet us. We were very excited to meet them. While having dinner, my aunt said that my sister is getting older and we must think about her wedding. My father said that still there was some time  left and he would consider the wedding once he thought was right. To this my uncle said that it would be very difficult to find the right boy if my sister gets older and it w...
