At 35, the same man was heard saying..

U - THE UNIQUE HAPPENING!

“Having bought such a Unique Apartment in my locality, I was very much interested in furnishing the same with the best Interiors available in the market..

The Unique Designs from the world market are ordered and as per the artist’s advice are laid in the Unique Aesthetic Way so that any one who for the first time enters my apartment will simply say, 'WOW' and nothing less of it at anytime..

One of the Unique Classic Items I had gone for is this dining table set. Got it out of a few imported stuff sold in the famous interior sellers’ store and got it positioned in the dining area.. 

Of course, the family equally wanted the Unique Dinner Set and Tableware for the same. Here, I had gone through many models of crockery and I was never satisfied with the locally sold items including those claimed to be imported. How can you serve food to a Guest in a normal crockery on a classic dining table with such Unique Interiors around decorated so aesthetically?

Last year, I was on a holiday abroad and there I visited…. where I heard the best crockery and decorative sets are sold. I purchased all those Unique Items of the tableware from one of the sophisticated shops there and brought them here.. 

Come, we'll have our lunch now.. The Cook had taken Unique Care to prepare your the most liked items. As the family is away, I asked him to do some cooking for the night also and go as he wanted Leave for half a day.. 

Everything is ready and today, we will serve Lunch by ourselves. I gave half day Leave for the boys too who help in serving and keeping the kitchen clean. So, today, we are all by ourselves..

I'm sorry..  How many times I told these boys to do extra cleaning of these Unique Crockery, Soup Bowls and the Glasses and keep them ready?  It appears, they haven't done that.. 

I should have a word with them tomorrow. Don’t worry, please do sit, I am cleaning a bit and bringing all these items. For a day, let me do this and....”

In the next five minutes, it was nothing but the rattling sounds of cleaning the Unique Porcelain Crockery and glasses in the sink with the Unique Cleaning Agent available in the market followed by washing with water and drying up.. 

Suddenly, a big thud was heard followed by the Unique Shrilling Sounds of the crockery and glassware touching the hard kitchen floor falling off from the inexperienced hands and breaking into a hundred pieces at one stroke thrown all round to every Corner.. 

The Unique Costliest Dining Set instantly had its Chapter closed thus permanently forever thru' that

UNIQUE HAPENNING!

T - BEING TRUTHFUL.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?

AS THE GREAT PILGRIMAGE GOES ON..

"We are going on the Great Pilgrimage to the Main Sacred Shrine to offer our Prayers!"

"I kept all that required ready.. No issues!"

"These are the the related Shrines en route depicting prominence of the place!"

"Great! My Prayer to Lord at all these prominent Shrines.. 'Lord! Take care of us all along!'"

"We have reached and we are going to the Sacred Main Shrine now.. It takes few hrs to finish the visit and return!"

"You all can go.. I stay back as I can't take that much strain!"

"Sir! You travelled all the way so much distance.. You offered Prayers en-route wherever you came across the related Shrines. Having come to the Main Shrine, why are you not paying your Reverence to the Lord by physically going to the point of Worship?"

"Dear! I should complete the job to the extent I am required to help out with my abilities. No doubt, the facilities are there to buy approved physical help but there is no need for me to do that as the Almighty had said..

'Do your portion of duty to the extent physically possible out of your own capabilities, beyond refrain from involving and be at peace!'

Let me just rest presently and relax!"

AS THE GREAT ENJOYMENT PARTY GOES ON..

"We are going ahead with the Great Enjoyment Party of our life!"

"I kept all that required ready.. No issues!"

"These are the items of prominence required for our party!"

"Great! I'll help in taking care of all that!"

"It's time and we are going to the Great Party now.. It takes few hrs to finish the party and return!"

"You all can go.. I stay back as I did all that is required!"

"Sir! You did so much for this party.. You struggled everywhere and wherever you were asked to do something. Having done so much, why are you not joining the party?"

"Dear! I should complete the job to the extent I am required to help out with my abilities. No doubt, I have every right to join the party but there is no need for me to do that as the Almighty had said..

'Do your portion of duty to the extent physically possible out of your own capabilities, beyond refrain from involving and be at peace!'

Let me just Pray presently and remain humble!"

S - SURE, SILENCE IS GOLDEN!

Certain actions were done.. There were certain returns..

• "What's this? Is this what I get as returns for all that I did for so many days? Really a joke.. You know, for the amount of strain I've taken in doing all this, I should have been simply put.... and given...., Nothing less of it. Really a pitiable state.. I've just been taken for granted!"

Shouted angrily, the highly worldly person ever looking out for certain gain everywhere..

• "Leave all that talk about the returns. They come and go and that's a different issue. At least, I should have got a minimum word of appreciation for so much effort I put in. No such talk at all.. It's a wonder!"

Said aloud the ordinary worldly person of usual recognition..

• "I've done my duty here. But never expected such a low recognition for all the work I did. God only knows the truth!"

Commented sarcastically the moral bound person..

• "I've just done my duty.. I don't want to talk on returns I got. God Bless the recipient!"

Said routinely the person of ethics covering up inside displeasure..

• "It's a sacred duty.. This alone elevates me in my life and nothing else!"

Reiterated the spiritually oriented person looking at gain from another angle..

• "------"

Said nothing, the elevated person of lessened ignorance and 

Having completed the work with a smile, took over the next!

R - RATIONALITY IN LIFE.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?

No doubt, rationality is the true scientific temper of man and it should ever prevail in him/her thru' constant questioning with the powerful questioning tools available Viz.,

WHERE,

WHAT,

WHEN,

WHY,

WHICH,

WHO and

HOW..

But at times, it appears that is not the end and something more is in store for a Human Being to experience, express and thus live thru' his/her life to the brim.. There the questions will be like..

• 'WHERE IS THE END OF THE UNIVERSE?'
• 'WHAT IS EXISTING CONSCIOUSNESS?'
• 'WHEN DID THE TIME BEGIN?'
• 'WHY MAN MADE ITEMS ALWAYS REMAIN LESS BEFORE NATURE MADE SIMILAR ITEMS?'
• 'WHICH PATH OF LIFE IS THE RIGHT ONE FOR ME TO FOLLOW?'
• 'WHO IS BEHIND ALL THE UNIVERSAL SHOW?'
• 'HOW IS THE WHOLE DIFFERENT FROM PART?'

Wherein

• Whatever man made investigations in scientific field are brought out,
• Tried best connect all lose ends and
• Tried arriving at the requirement

The answers are never found..

Seen in such a context, remaining 100% rational seems limiting myself in my life wherein I may indirectly have a satisfaction that I could get answers for everything but that never streamlines and satisfies an ever existing inner urge in me for the ultimate

PEACE AND HAPPINESS..

Here alone, I need to remain in touch with the emotional part of mine tuning it in the right direction for my own good and for the good of the world too in general..

That emotion when expressed in the right direction, my satisfaction within becomes nothing but the true music in my life. That emotion can never be a bunch of pure prose words where the grammar rules alone are checked for their correctness but goes beyond and often comes out as an unknown impulse from within expressing joyously in the known language overruling all those very rules and materialistic needs getting into the concept of tones and tunes with an extended feeling from within..

Such a deep emotion can be anything varying from..

• A Parent's love towards his/her Child..
• A Brother's/sister’s love towards his/her Sibling..
• A Spouse’s love towards his/her Partner..
• A Lover's love towards his/her Lover..
• A Friend’s love towards his/her Friend etc.. 

Rising further to the fields like..

• An Artist's love towards Nature..
• A Soldier's love towards Motherland..
• A Great Man's love towards Fellow Beings etc..

 Finally culminating into..

An Ardent Devotee's Love towards God!

That love is ever Unique and Original in life, can forever be expressed thru' Poetical and Musical Extensions alone totally forgetting the rational approach attitude getting into a field ultimately wherein 

I identify my own Existence with the Nature around and Express myself in full!

Q - QUALITY LIFE.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?

The retired man mused..

“Since I am retired with certain definite time and energies left out with me, why not I extend 'Help' and support my grown up family members who have no breathing time busy with their own tight work schedules?"

The well wisher remarked..

The ‘HELP’ which you are planning to extend to your grown-ups is

• Really not required and
• Not to be expected by them as much

As that 'HELP' extended sure makes them to that extent incapable forcing them lose

The essential capacity of managing everything in limited time with limited energies..

Whatever be the pressures in their lives, they should alone find time for their works and squeeze them in their schedules!"

The retired man retorted..

"Being with them should I not help my family at all?’

"Yes.. That 'GREATER HELP' from your end is nothing but doing your core works yourself and in general meeting the family essentials. Leaving those primary activities in respect of the rest, let your family members look at them as their own

• Day to day issues of life,
• Close them for the day to their own judgement and satisfaction,
• Gain the rich experience of handling such sensitive issues of life and thus

Ever remain the Masters of their lives!

Agreed, a few small downfalls here and there would be there in such situations wherein the calculations go wrong.. 

Let them go wrong to the extent they are managed within the limits not jeopardizing the basics, which I feel mostly no disciplined grown-up dares to do all along you remaining,

An advisory by their side with your rich experience of life ready for exigencies and essentials!

If done so, your grown-ups,

Not just end up knowing fishing alone in their lives when

'ALL IS WELL'

Which any how you taught them when they were growing but

• How to equip themselves to fish too on a day when

'STARS ARE NOT IN THEIR FAVOR!'”

Clarified the well-wisher with a smile!

P - THE PERFECT PLACE!

“Let’s quickly finish lunch, get off from these boring surroundings and go to our favorite city!”

Thought the family, accordingly were out at 11 AM and moved towards the city 30 km away. Having reached the centre of the city, they straight moved to their favorite restaurant for a small bite..

“Let's enjoy one of the best snacks of this place!”

The dad said and the family soon started munching their favorite delicacies served hot amidst..

Pouring in customers,
Endless talks everywhere,
Very little leg space and
All fast movements..

Too much excitement for the family..

"Let's now go to the famous Mall oft spoken of!"

The family decided and soon were at the Shopping Mall..

Cramped parking lot,
Many, many small floor area shops,
Criss cross moving people,
Endless hustle and bustle..

Welcomed them at the Mall and it was really a feast to the eye for the next one hr..

“The Park two streets away would be ideal for play at this point of time!”

The mom said and soon the family was at that place. It was just a

Small lengthy park,
Flooded with weekend people,
Hardly any space to move and
Vehicles continuously honking and zooming on both sides of the park.. 

The family loved the place with so many children screaming, running and playing around..

“We had the best time today. It's time to return now. Let’s have some tea in the popular Refresh Centre of the place and get back home!”

The dad said and in no time all moved to the place. Amidst

Cramped small place,
Too much noise,
People almost hitting each other and
No air movement..

The dad and mom enjoyed their beloved Chai sipping slowly and children munching few snacks..

They soon started returning saying bye to their very much loved city,

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR WEEKEND!

In a short time, the car was out of the city limits and zoomed into the suburbs towards their home. As they neared their place, the children urgently needed the rest room use..

“Let's have some tea at our usual restaurant before going home as children relieve themselves!”

The family decided and having parked the car in the parking area of the restaurant as they were moving into the restaurant, a friend with his family was seen coming out..

All members soon greeted one another and after a while, the man asked,

“Were you on a job here? You came all the way from your home in the middle of the city!”

The friend smiled and said,

“No! We just wanted to get away from our routine and surroundings. We were very hungry and wanted to have some food in the restaurant adjacent to the park amidst..

Few customers,
Soft talks around,
Ample leg space and
All gentle movements..

Then we walked thru' the Main Market with

Plenty of Parking space,
Few orderly laid out shops,
Leisurely moving people and
Calm and cool surroundings..

We felt like visiting the big park and indeed had a very good time there. Such a great park so close to you..

Huge lengthy park,
Few visitors,
Lots of space to move and
Fresh air everywhere with silence ruling all over..

Thought of dropping at your place but then we felt that you too would need the weekend to relax and get refreshed..

We just wanted to have some tea in this place before heading homewards with

Vast seating area,
Soft talk next to you,
People smiling at each other and
Cool breeze from all corners..

I tell you.. We are very much impressed with your place and for anyone, we strongly recommend it

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR WEEKEND!

By the way, forgot to ask..

From where are you coming and how did you spend your day?”
