Doubt- Doubting your own soul.. POSSIBLE !!!


Doubt , a word that can break hearts , fix riddles , solve cases , dissolve relationships ....

"I dont know if a bullet can kill me , but a doubt can " says a lesser god....

Doubts are irked and arise, due to lack of trust.... trust it is ... trust may be in oneself , doubts in another person , doubt in a relationship , doubt in a decision we take .

though there are so many doubts possible, all the doubts in this world can be cleared again by the three magic words..
TRUST ,LOVE ,FAITH

A doubt in a relationship may be due to lack of trust on a decision taken , or due to a faulty decision taken already in the past.

Let me tell you a story that tought me a very valuable lesson in life....

Once upon a time , There was a huge jungle.. it had many varities of animals in it...
But among pride of lions, packs of wolves,and massive groups of deers and zebras and giraffes, there was one solitary animal, a single male elephant called ganesh,It was very friendly with an eagle called garuda.. they were the best of friends anyone could find, they always used to go to the nearby lake together.. play there... and go back home... ganesh sleeping under the maple tree and garuda over it...

Their life was the very monotonous waking,eating,playing,eating,playing,eating sleeping...untill one specific day .. as ganesh and garuda were going to their usual lake ganesh saw another elephant for the first time... it was remarkably beautiful that he couldnt take his eyes off her... Since he had never before seen another of his kind , he didnt know how to even react but he knew he was in love.. he trumpetted and ran to the lake....

He introduced himself and he found her name to be shanti, he was so so so happy being around her.. that he almost forgot about garuda.... though the friend in the sky felt so bad that his friend was ignoring him... he didnt mind for he knew how much she meant to him.... but garuda had a doubt... where this elephant come from all of a sudden.. it was not in this jungle before and anything new meant trouble , and garuda knew it very well.. so he told his worry to ganesh.... but ganesh was in too romantic a mood to be pertrubed by it... he jus flatted his friend away saying he was deep in thought.... garuda went to sleep...

The next day garuda picked up the topic with his friend again.... but ganesh this Time as he woke felt really insulted at the continous picking of his friend... and shouted at garuda , telling him that he(garuda) was being too too too jealous that while he(ganesh) had a girlfriend, he(garuda) did not....

Garuda felt too hurt , but didnt want to anger his best friend and he flew away...
ganesh start trotting away to the lake... alone for the first time in his life... and ganesh so felt sorry for talking to his friend like that.. but moment he saw shanti he forgot his problem.. then shanti and ganesh played in the water for sometime.... and then shanti told that she had a special place in mind to show to ganesh ....and started taking him towards the east... it was a side of the jungle that ganesh had never dared to go.. it was due to the thicker forest growth and that it was not safe....

But since it was shanti taking him he went with her... as they went shanti started running.. and so did ganesh... as they did... suddenly ganesh could feel himself falling.. the ground under him gave way... and he fell into a pit... he saw then where he had put his foot... it was a big elephant pit... it had been covered with leaves that ganesh didnt notice... then he saw shanti walk away... without even a flinch of pity.. then ganesh understood what it was... shanti was one of those they called the decoy elephants .. they lead others into pits to be taken into captivity...

he felt so miserable at trusting a new found love and betraying his best friend.. he felt bad at scolding garuda.. and let out a huge trumpetting noise.. in sorrow... Far afar a flying eagle noticed the elephants werent there at the lake...
and he saw the tracks leaving east.. and started following it... as he followed it he heard a trumpetting muffled in sorrow... he knew it was his friend and flew at all haste to the direction.. when he came he saw.. ganesh being lifted out the pit by a dozen men.. and he saw another man at a distance aiming a long barrelled wood at him... he had seen that barrelled log before.. it would throw stones so fast that anything in front of it would die.... he lurched forward and hit the mans eye.... blinding him as ganesh was out.. the others gasped in shock as their friend had been blinded... ganesh pushed away the rest of them and him and garuda.. ran for their life.. they escaped...

Ganesh apologised to garuda for behaving so .. and they stayed best friends till their last days...

Moral :

Love can break even the strongest of friendships.....

Trust your old friends they know better about you and confide in your good friends even about love.. for they can definitely show you the right path...

Friends will always help you no matter what you do to them, dont forget to ask for help even if you have a quarrel....

do comment on it my friends ... do let me know your opinions !!!

untill next time...
