Down and Out ...

Hey Friends,

                         I will start my blog with a very humble “thank you” for the love and support, I received for my last blog post, and it was simply overwhelming. This time around I thought that I would be writing my blog at the end of the week on some exam related topic as my exams are piling up, but after looking at some incidents taking place around me, very coincidentally a topic came to my mind and I knew it this has to be the next topic of my blog “Down and Out”.

“Down and Out” these three words can be called magical words to be sarcastically correct. There are plenty of situations in our life when we know nothing is going your way and we say these three magical words “Down and Out”. But What exactly these three words mean ?? When nothing is going your way, nothing absolutely nothing and we know whatever we do will result to something negative and more often than not we cry or mourn about the series of unfortunate events happening in our life.

The “Down and Out” times as I term it, are very obvious to come as we all know a series of happy events can’t last for a long time, same as a series of unfortunate events can’t last. The funny thing about these times are you don’t have a perfect solution because whatever you do will result into something negative and you don’t know when something will give us a positive outcome. The solution to these times is nothing but “time”. Time heals everything and will surely heal everything because time is such a key which can unlock any lock in this world. The funny part is, after coming out of these tough times, we must realize how wise we have become! We just come out of these times along with time but we are not the same person once we are out of it. It helps us to know life better and we do know the next time when we get into such situation what to do and what not if we have analyzed it perfectly that what we did at the previous outing.

The best part of these times is that, during these times a moment of laughter a moment of joy is so precious, that it might be an ordinary laugh but as it was during these times, we will remember forever. These moment of laughter or joy or when u realize something good has finally happened to you, you will immediately find yourself in tears of joy as well as anger to answer your critics who have termed you “a good for nothing” . Suppose we are seeing some football match and you know the team you are passionately supporting is losing 2-0 and the players are down out, their shoulders are down and out of the blue the team scores a goal and you see a ray of hope and in no time  what so ever you start believing that yes we can and when the team we are supporting scores a third goal and win, tears come out of the eyes of supporters as well as anger comes and we know that “down and out times” are behind us, but the main part of it was that one ray of hope brought you out of it or made u believe in the things which we had lost faith in or a ray of light will bring you out of a dark tunnel. The main part is to find that ray of hope or to create one, it is no point sitting ideally and publicizing that I am “down and out”, that won’t be doing us any good.

These are those times when sitting in a movie very coincidentally, we compare our life to the character going through a bad phase and find many similarities and while living those characters tears come out of our eyes. But the main part is it is actually a movie and a ray of hope won’t appear magically, we will have to find that ray of hope or ray of light. When you look back at those times, you will have a smile on your face thinking how immaturely we acted or how silly we were, but the thing is we can afford that laughter because a mature person has walked out of those times.

I will wrap up my article by saying that these are the times which will be our memories, which will teach us how to be mature, which will teach us how to face problems, how to face troubles in our life. We will blame some people as immature but it is not their fault, they have not faced the amount of problems you might have faced, but it doesn’t mean that they won’t be facing them, everything has a time, but it is different for different people. If you have not looked back at the “Down and Out” times, then look back and see what you were and what you are, how far you have travelled and take some tips, because those are the times when you will be at your best. I will end this article by this line

“Tough times are the times that bring the best out of you, because you have a point to prove”
