Transcending barriers

It is very easy to train a cricketer to cross the boundary rope. It isn't so easy to show how to do it. Crossing boundaries require special efforts and then, there are many factors that should converge to make it happen. One fielder at the boundary can prove dangerous despite a plum ball by the bowler and a good hit by the batsman.



Life, in many ways, is just like the game-Cricket. Patience,Perseverance,Strength,Courage,Aggressiveness,Learning,unlearning,success,failure..almost all components are present in both. In relationships,transcending one's own limitations is as important as transcending the barriers in the relationship. It is a step-by-step learning process, and breaking both these barriers are essential for progress. Only rarely do we see the barriers broken on a single shot. Transcending barriers in life provide a greater elevation to see things as they are and helps in realizing how layered life is.

No one can show us how to transcend layers, just like no one can show a batsman how to hit a boundary. It is a process of self-learning and acquiring. Obviously because the more you want to grow, the more you have to learn; the greater the barriers you break within you, the greater the heights you reach in life. Your self becomes elevated :-)

My heart goes out to..

It was a gloomy Saturday morning, more so because of the incessant rains and partly because nothing seemed to be exciting enough to push me on a Saturday morning (I'd rather ensconce myself in a sofa munching chips!!) The heavy rains forced drops of water to seep through a crack in my newly built home. I was enjoying myself for a while looking at the drops that came down to my shoe rack with amazing uniformity,without the need for a break! I thought they were really beautiful, the way they made a comfortable space for themselves inside , rather than flow with the little stream atop. These drops have struggled through their way from my terrace to the shoe rack,( not that they know this!). I sat on my sofa wondering if I was in a comfortable space only because I struggled my way through life! The answer is definitely not a definite "yes". I appeared timid in comparison to those lovely drops and began my day with vigor and vivacity. After indulging myself in my activity for about two hours, I realised I had skipped breakfast.! I went back to my sofa to take a break, only to see there were no more drops falling down to my shoe rack..The shoe rack had become as dry as ever and lost its shine caused by those drops..The mason who fixed the leak was an old man, shivering due to the cold weather. I asked, " Have you finished your work, Aiyah(sir)?"

He seemed to have been lost in his own world. He did not react. I asked him if he needed a blanket. He refused. He said he was going to start as he had work elsewhere. His trembling hands lifted the Hercules cycle diligently and within two minutes, he was ready to set out. It was raining even more heavily. I told him to wait till the rain stops, but he wasn't prepared to wait. His reply shook me.. He said," If I stop now, I will never be able to start again". He left pulling his cycle alongside, carrying his heavy tools. This scene flashed through my senses like strokes of lightning, it pushed me to a higher level through the day, making me realise that irrespective of wherever I am today, "If I stop now, I will never be able to start again!"

My heart goes out to the old man and his family..
