Fate’s kismet

"Fate's Kismet"

“The place was very bright, lit with people merrily walking with their loved ones and family. About hundred of us have gone there to enjoy our stay outside. The happiness was engulfed by the huge rise in the tide. People ran from nowhere and screaming their lives for want of help. I was also drowning. Suddenly I felt a huge thud on the back of my head. Was I saved?” Sangu woke with a jerk and an unknowing alarming sound and realized that it was just a dream. Sangu had always been very dull and inactive in his college days. He disliked whatever he did and the result was the mere reaction of what he expected. He had never tasted the juice of Success in his life. Hence always dejected and aloof. When someone escorts his loneliness, he shouts back angrily. Anger became his prime friend of life.

Magizhan; Sangu’s not so close friend at college; was also like him but there was a marked change in Magizhan’s activities and Sangu could find that he was well settled in life with a handsome job. Sangu’s dream haunted him and more so, he was particular to know about the strike that he received. Sitting in his dark room (the curtains down symbolizing dullness), Sangu could hear footsteps and found Magizhan at his door step. Magizhan came near and sat in the opposite sofa. Sangu does not share any of his feelings with his friends, but that day, he feels like telling his experience (that of the dream) to Magizhan. Even before Sangu could comprehend the same, Magizhan shocked by asking “you want to know what was the thud that you experienced?” Sangu sweat copiously.

Magizhan then questioned Sangu for his dullness and laziness. Sangu said he was struck with the monotony of life and could not find anything interesting. He did not understand the meaning for his survival and hence was thinking of attempting suicide just before he kicked his sack. Magizhan then told him that he knew well of Sangu’s case and hence it was him who saved Sangu from drowning. The dream show cased Sangu’s true picture in life and that he was drowning day by day in his idleness thereby getting angry on everything and anything that comes his way. He also said that he was thinking about Sangu for a couple of days and wanted him to bring to light thereby enlightening his life with joy and prosperity. Sangu was puzzled and listened to his friend silently.

Magizhan pinpointed Sangu’s close friends and Sangu could recollect that they were also in the same stage as him and that Magizhan was his close friend at the beginning but moved away from him and now shining brilliantly. Magizhan then stressed the importance of finding out his interests and aim in life and drawing out a world exclusively for him irrespective of various comparisons made by others. He shared with Sangu, his experience of meeting a really wise person named Sahajan who explained him the importance of this life and our service to the society at large which had gifted us with this life.

Though Sangu did not believe anything at the beginning, Magizhan’s transcendental role brought within him a spark to live his life in a fruitful way. Ramu decided to meet Sahajan too. He could experience the divinity of that person and also find that his magnetic eyes dragged Sangu’s. Sangu had consecutive meetings with Sahajan and step by step followed whatever he was advised with. Since Sangu was interested in land oriented matters, he was asked to buy a plot and grow a garden on his own. Sangu followed the same and after a couple of years he became the leading florist in that area. Sangu was then an entrepreneur.

Sitting in an ease chair at his home, the memories of his adolescence flashed across. Sangu decided to meet his friend Magizhan, just to thank him for providing the spark and enthusiasm for his bright future. Sangu started driving his smooth Accent and on his way he found ten people whipping up an innocent guy on the beach side. Sangu parked his vehicle and got down to rescue the unknown. Upon enquiry, he found that those people were the friends of the innocent who was about to commit suicide. The group had saved him and told Sangu that they themselves will beat him to death as suicide is forbidden by law and to make him understand that he should not be ignorant. Sangu then reacted to the group by saying that when no individual has got a right to commit self-killing (suicide), it implies that he has got no right to kill any other life since the Creator of life alone nourishes and finally puts an end to the very life after a time span.

Sangu’s wisdom cast a spell on them. The entire group applauded in glee expressing openly that “Today is our real rebirth. You have not only saved Madhan and gave physical life but on a more pragmatic extent saved our mental death and resuscitated each and every one of us through your divine air of wisdom. Hereafter our prime duty is to contribute our best to multiply to millions this divine air to resuscitate the foul smelling, ignorant group”. Madhan with a beaming smile tells Sangu “Literally, Sangu, I want to blow the conch to give a clarion call to every nook and corner to transform the dare devils into one of a life of rich contribution”.

Shouting joyfully “Really I understood even the Kismet of Fate, the Divine Order of Chaos”: Sangu with a contented heart geared up to meet his friend to thank him not only for saving his life; but also for creating a socially conscious group.

Ramya,
At first i thought both fate and kismat are the same....
You had rightly conveyed the message ( to my understanding) that no has any control to take his own life and also of other's...and one has to follow his interests and develop them to escape from monotonous work...
The names you had given to the characters are very nice...

Oh my dearest Chithu sis,

Thank you very much. My post had to wait long enough just for your ever-first and encouraging feedback. Even now, it has not got due attention, but am contented that you liked it.

Frankly speaking, you were the one to silently encourage me to write stories. When the plot runs close to my heart I write; otherwise simply sit and admire other writers here in this great platform. I am really greatful to IL for "She" is bringing out the talent (?) from within.

Thank you once again. Suicide among the youth has become the much sort after word and I was affected by the same when heard similar cases during college days. They not only spoil their own atmosphere, but everyone's too. That triggered me to write this. Though I had taken so long to write, am happy that it came out pretty well.

Regards with Love

My dearest inspirer !!

Thank you very much Srini ma'am. Happy that you liked my write up. I really waited for two feedbacks and am overwhelmed that there were 2+1 .

Very true. What ever we decide and take up absolutely rests within our reach. Noone forces us to push ourselves down the well. Its our intuition that tells us to do certain things. But when analyzed deeply we will realize the fact.

The names are close to my heart too. Very happy that you made a mention about them !!

Thank you very much once again ma'am. Need your support always :)

Regards with Love
Your student
