DIFFICULT AND TESTING TIMES

I always believed that it is very good to face the most difficult times of life at an early age in life as that helps us become very matured, stable, rational, mentally strong and makes us value good things in life. Most importantly it prepares us well to face any difficulties that may arise at an age when we are physically and mentally going down the hill.

And I thought the god had blessed me with enough testing times to make me mentally strong and stable enough to face any challenge without losing my nerves. And just as I was gaining this confidence and also faith on my writing ability being healthy and tolerable and was planning to put in more efforts, God has presented me with my most testing time ever in the form of hospitalisation of my father with a deteriorating kidney.

This was a Tsunami of sorts for me sweeping away all the confidence and strength I had gained. Its just that I love my parents so much that my mind is just not able to think anything beyond my father at this moment. And that is the reason I could not post anything this week.

But I am sure my father, who has right through the life been my source of strength, would win over his problems and also push me as always to pass this test too and help me become a stronger, confident and a better person in all aspects. And with that I hope I would be able to give more informative and enjoyable post in future.

  • Hope your father has the courage and power to overcome this in his life!
    But just wanted to let you know something.

    You mentioned yourself as a strong, matured and a confident person - something that you have learnt over the years - thanks to those testing times. But still you look forward to your father as the source of strength at this time when it is he who needs your strength. Why not reverse the roles once. Thats after all about maturity, is it not?

    God bless you both!

  • That is Sad ... Praying for you and your dad. I will have to second Phanthom's thoughts ... Its time for you to be brave. Your dad will be proud of a son like you. :-) Be strong - as always.

  • i pray your father be well soon hari... sometimes God tests the best people in the hardest of ways. Maybe coz you love them so much, this period would get you thinking how your life would be without them someday... it shouldn't break you completely. My grandmother has always told me in times such as these "Dear THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY"... and it always has.

  • Dear Blogpals,

    Very sorry for my delayed response to your heartwarming comments as I had to spent time with my father at the hospital. I am just overwhelmed by the immense support provided by all of you by your truly morale boosting comments and I really do not have words to explain the wonder it has done to my confidence and mental strength. I am very happy to inform you that with all your prayers my father has fought his way back and he was discharged from the hospital yesterday. This test has given the much required stability to my mental strength and I promise to use it not just for my personal benefit but for the benefit for the world at large to the extent I can.

    Thank you very much all of you without whose support I really would not have passed this test and I am indebted to you all forever for this support.

    I will soon come out with a post and hope to make it a good reading for all of you.

  • Dear Phantom,
    This is the first time you are visiting me and your comment had indeed a remarkable effect. You really showed the way otherwise my meek surrender would have done injustice to the efforts of my father in making me mentally strong.
    Keep visiting and I will soon reciprocate.

    By Blogger hari, at 9:09 PM  

  • Thanks Hari. I feel honoured. Ya know, been there done that....This too....You have the strength, just that sometimes we need someone to remind. And I did nothing more than that. And I'm sure you would do the same to anyone.

    Now that you have thanked me, I take the liberty to ask for an obligation. In case(only in case), you have the habit of throwing food remains/tea cups etc from inside the train while travelling, please refrain from it. If you already dont do it, I'm more than happy.

    By Blogger Enchanted Mind, at 10:32 PM  

  • Hi Phantom,

    Honestly admitting I do throw my tea cups outside from the train window, but now I promise never to do it again.

    Further I pledge to spread this message to as many people as I can after setting an example myself.

  • hi man,
    am terribly sorry to miss this post of urs.. am relieved 2 c in the doodle that your dad has been discharged. Let me confirm your thots in the first few lines with my experiences. As i read the first few lines I felt as if you were just peeping into my mind. I belive in the same. Very true that if we confront with all "worsts" early it life, it helps in building a better frame of mind..makes us tough guys... most imp of all we can develop as positive frame of mind once we saw ourselves outa of that. wish to c you back soon with full energy and thots.. take care..

  • Thanks Hari.

    Just to think of it, is it feasible to clean the entire track running across India to keep the villages along the track clean? Nah, right? But we tend to forget this small fact that stares right in our face and complain of dirty streets and everything.
    Read this blog of mine and how we youth with all our knowledge behave.
    AttitudeLets make our place a lot better to live in. We have every right to question the government if they cannot clean the dustbins, but it is our responsibility to fill them up.

    Am happy that you have taken the effort to refrain from it and more glad that you will influence others too.
