True Feelings

In today's world, the world feelings provokes thoughts of only man-women love. I think this is primarily the result of the continuous pounding we take from the movie stories which focus on the same. Well the basic idea here i am trying to address is, feelings are not polarized and have a lot of depth than just love . "Feelings are just an emotional state or reaction" a definition which can be found out with a simple Google search. There are a host of feelings starting from care,hatred,happiness,sadness,excitement,affection,disappointment,love,satisfaction and the list is endless . We exhibit them when we want to give a reaction. So they are supposed to be our reaction to situations or happenings. They can be fabricated however which then causes a lot of misunderstanding and pain. Because of it, some section of us say there are all fake people in this world and the whole world is fake (It might be a bitter reaction to a previous experience ). My post today is to address these people and make them realize this is not true. To such people I would give myself as an example. Why ? because 

I knew I've found  true love, when my Mom who is an office goer sat next to me the whole night when my body was burning with fever.



I knew I had found genuine concern , when my Dad kept egging me on to score good marks in my engineering , kept shouting at me to prepare well for exams, kept me in check with his timely advice even though he had a strenuous routine.

I know I've found true care, when my Sister Shruti phoned me all the way from UK just to ask me about an inconsequential exam.

I know I've found true affection, when my Brother Avinash used to get up at 6 am in the morning and make me breakfast so that i could attend my classes on time.

I know I've found true friendship, when my friend Saurabh Deshpande called me just after my SSB interview just to ask how it had gone.

I know I've found genuine hatred, when i see politicians throwing away the country to the dogs for petty gains.

I know I've found utter speechlessness, when my engineering classmates surprised me with a unexpected birthday party.

I know I've found sheer helplessness , when I see corruption gnawing away at my Motherland.

I know I've found true thrill just before I begin to climb a steep cliff.

I have found mouth watering temptation at the sight of paani puri.

I have experienced sadness when Ganpati Bappa leaves my home on the last day.

I know I've found contentment, when i achieved 195/200 in my favorite subject of computer science in 12th.

I have experienced pain when I broke my tibia (a leg bone) during football.

I have experience true laughter when Saurabh Gadekar cracks a joke.

I experienced loss of words, when my former students wished me Happy teachers day without fail on 5th September.

I have experienced the feeling of real loss when i lost my Grandfather who was with me for the last 10 years.


All these feelings......they make my world, Each day making me realize I am a human. Its these feelings that make me one. So there are true feelings and true people in this world. It just takes belief and a eye to spot them.

Till the next time...
