Romance called "HOPE"


As per the dictionary version; “HOPE” is the emotional state, which promotes the belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. I always had confusion between HOPE and POSITIVE THINKING, now as per the experts; Hope is distinct from positive thinking, which refers to a systematic process used in psychology for reversing pessimism.

Basically for a person like me, who is not well educated, getting the difference or the fine line between those two is very difficult. For me this “HOPE” has been like a romance for the past 15 years (just for a time frame) and continuing. The feeling that, what is wanted can be had or looking forward to it with desire, and with reasonable amount of confidence so that events will turn out for the best has indeed been a romance for me. I have pursued and persisted with many things (Humans included), and here by including humans as things, I don’t want to sound like a materialistic or a utilitarian kind of person but more in a general sense of a word which here defines a collective group; I have had my ups and downs with all of them but even before I have a little sense of achievement/contentment, I end up losing them.

But then again, people around me pull me up and yet again “HOPE” comes into play when things are not going well or at least there’s considerable uncertainty about how things will turn out. There have been situations where in "HOPE” has literally opened me up and removed the blinders of fear and despair, which in turn allowed me to see the big picture.  

Recently I had a little discussion with a well educated person on this and he took me through the whole psychology of Hope and Positive thinking, believe me I could only remember one thing he said “In English language the word can be used as either a noun or a verb, although hope as a concept has a similar meaning in either use”. What irked him and triggered the discussion was when I compared it with romance. After the whole discussion I still ended up with confusion, but this time with my definition of romance.

More so in my current situation I am coerced again into “HOPE” with a goal in mind, with a determination that it can be reached.

Let “Romance” prevail!!!

Chaduvu Sandhya

Today morning I was taking a walk around the house, while brushing teeth and overheard my immediate neighbors talking about teenagers. Their conversation was going in Telugu and one of them happened to say “eee kalam pillalu bothigaa chaduvu sandhya lekunnda pothunnnaru andi”, the very mention of these words made me smile as I also got to hear these lines a lot from my parents. Few seconds later I enter the scene and I with my frothy white mouth with the tooth brush still inside, bend my head forward, try giving them a smile and move out from that place. Now what is there in the line that made me smile is, the way I see the very lines at two different stages of my life. Even before I tell you the difference in my view point “ Then & Now ” I will try to get you a brief understanding of those lines in English. Basically what they are trying to convey here is teenagers these days are having no proper sense of education and time. The two words here “ Chaduvu ” & “ Sandhya ”, the fi...

Star Event

I (i) was just going through my marriage album and there was one pose that made me stop and think for a while, it is the eternal pose where the boy is pointing towards sky and girl is smilingly looking along with him into the unknown skies. Yes, both of them looking at “Arundhati Nakshatram” (Star). Most of the south Indian marriages I know have this tradition. Truly I never understood what this is all about; I have seen so many marriages in and around my family, every time it was more on poking fun and disturbing the couple. Just got to learn some meaning of all this but before that, let me go about my way of reading it all this while. Imagine all the people around you who have meticulously been pestering you for marriage, this is the moment of truth for most of them. For all the struggle and pain they have taken all this while for pushing you into this thing called “marriage”, this star gazing moment is when they start telling you the real side of it. Ever heard the Telugu phras...

Trial Room

The moment one says the word “Shopping” women will surely will come into picture, numerous jokes on it etc... etc... I am not going to tell you about the regular stuff that goes around with shopping along with your beloved…..the shopping routines, buying, bargaining and excitement all these are as usual as any other. For me the more funny part of all this shopping is waiting outside the “ Trial Room ”. First and fore most I must thank my “ BEST ” half for taking me through one of a kind shopping experience. With her it is more calculated and planned shopping, yes we do have those mood-off or irritated days while shopping but all in all it’s been exciting. Will go in length some other time but let’s get back to the agenda…. Men around Here!!! Talking about men, when the main topic is about woman, is little disturbing but none the less we men are un-separable part of this shopping festival. Okie now picture these situations …. While my lady is in the trial room, I am waitin...
