Inhitions and promises...

Many of us enjoy seeing something taking place in front of our eyes and wonder wish if we could do something similar… Mostly we stop ourselves from doing that because of the age old inhibitions that is there inside us or which has been cultivated by us… Why can’t we do what we just want to do and be happy in life? Why can’t we just give away all out inhibitions and do which our heart wants us to do? Why do we always hold ourselves back? I am no exception, at least till sometime back I used to be what the others were like… Take for example the movie Honeymoon travels… The Bengali wife wanted to fly the parachute kind of thing and she did just that not caring about what others might think, though initially hesitant to go on the ride with the sari, her friend helped her to make her feel happy! Sometimes some words can do wonder… And when she came down, she was so happy and so satisfied that she didn’t even care that she was not wearing the right clothes… What I am trying to say is why we can’t do what we want to… Why can’t people who know that we would love to do something but just holding ourselves back give us that encouragement and spirit so that we do what we want to and thereby become smarter and confident? Also I wonder how genuine are the claims like, I am not scared of anything, do whatever you want to, I don’t care etc. etc. statements? Those who make those comments, are they not really scared about anything in life? The Mountain Dew advertisement tried to portray this idea very nicely and I kind of liked it and think it’s very true that everyone fears something or the other and we fear to do or perform the new things, the challenging task before us…Though our heart says ‘go go go…’ something just stops us… It may be the unknown fear which gropes us or inhibition about what others might think; mostly it’s the former if it’s something challenging or new… If we can give up that fear and try doing that new challenging thing, I am sure it’ll give all us immense happiness even if we do not succeed to perform the task…

The thing which I am trying to convey is to do what you want to… Don’t care what the society will think… Let them go to hell… But don’t do something out of the way too…!

And yes, have realized that promises are meant to be broken! Before I came to Delhi, some people promised to spend a lot of time with me, but then they were the ones who were very busy to attend the phone call even… Happens… :)
