"BEING PRACTICAL IN LIFE"

 Yesterday I was having a very good discussion with one of my friends about being practical in life. During the discussion I found that he was linking being practical to individualism, selfishness’, isolation from society, etc. I was telling him to think objectively only on being practical not on other things. But I found that most of the time when people are dominating with a thought their actions also dominated by their thoughts. It happens to everybody, to me also. My personal suggestion is that in those time don’t make decisions. Decisions always need to impart after rational analysis. So coming to the point, what is practical?

When I was in my school/college days, some subjects had practical papers also. During that time, I had one question always that why I was doing practical. My teacher told me that it’s custom. So do it. Most of the time I did it in my life as it was in the curriculum. During each decision in my life, most of the time my advisors told to be practical. I was surprised how to become practical in life. So most of the times, I also replace the word practical as selfishness, emotional, individualism, etc. One day during a conversation, my father told me that there was a meaning of each word in life. Although his intention was different but I learned a lesson in that. Afterward, when I am using any word I try to find out the meaning for that word. So come to practical. If you will search on Google it says “an examination or lesson in which theories and procedures learned are applied to the actual making or doing of something.” & “of an idea, plan, or method likely to succeed or be effective in real circumstances; feasible.” It means by applying theories & procedures there is some measurable resultant, which is comparable also. The 1^st key thing is resultant and 2^nd key thing is comparable. It means there are some set of actual results, which are determined before conducting test & it needs to analyze with resultant. Whether the resultants are in favor or against. Afterward, you need to apply why it is in favor & why it is against. Now if the resultants are in favor then the process by which you got the same are called standard procedures and if they are against then you need to improve the process. Being practical means, you need to apply set of procedures & compare the results. Also afterward accept the results & do the process mapping. How much there is a deviation from standard process. It will apply to the many practices. Being practical in life doesn’t mean to isolate from the relationship, selfishness, no emotions, individualism, etc. It means that try to accept things as they are.

आँखों में आँसू अधूरे है तेरे बिना
दिल की धड़कन अधूरी है तेरे बिना
आज एक कतरा आंसू का हम रोक न सके
पर वो भी आँखों से गिर के अधुरा ही रह गया
दिल ही हर तन्हाई ने तुम्हे याद किया है 
हर पल खुदा से माँगा तुझे है
मेरी हर दुआ में बस तू ही शामिल है
तुम जो गयी हो रूठ के हमसे
यूँ लगता है ज़िन्दगी रूठ सी गयी है हमसे
दिल को तुम्हारी आस अभी भी है
मेरी हर साँस में प्यास अभी भी है
तुम्हारी  यादों में बैठा हूँ तन्हा
पर तुम्हारा साथ आज भी है ।
