What Do You Worry About?

To be honest, we don't need a reason to worry. When our mind becomes idle, too many things come into our mind. Its better to keep ourselves occupied lest something unwanted pops into our mind. I definitely fall into this category.

Let go off the worries, atleast for a while, and swing until you are relaxed. A file photo of my daughter and niece

Too much I worry, even for small things. That's my weakness and that's where Iam made fun of, particularly among my family members.

The best part of my life was my childhood and teens. That was a carefree life with no responsibilities. Unlike other countries, where the children shoulder their responsibilities at their teens, here the children are protected as the parents shoulder the complete responsibilities till they get a job. In other words, making the child more irresponsible and lazy.

While studying at my graduate level, I used to worry about what am I going to do next? Will I get a job of my choice? Will I succeed in interview / test ? Too many things were their in air. And finally, I ended with a job, not by choice but by chance. But it turned out to be the best decision in my career.

The next stage being marriage. During my time, more of forced (arranged) marriage, which meant we are meeting the boy for the first time and getting into a relationship with a new person whom we have never seen in our life time. That was the biggest worry, any girl would have gone through.

Lastly, comes family. As my children are staying at hostel, every moment they go through, especially any bad experience is the biggest worry Iam facing now. When I don't get a call from them within the stipulated time or when they fall sick or when they travel from college to anyother destination, all these becomes a reason for me to worry. Though I know all these are unnecessary worries, I still can't stop worrying.

At present my aged parents, who are staying alone, is one of the biggest reason for worry. They are not prepared to move from their cozy environment, which makes things worse for us. For us, meaning me and my siblings. They are much attached to their gardening and harvesting of veggies, which makes them happy. Just praying for their good health.

All the above, which I mentioned about is my personal worries.

In general, if I talk about, Iam much worried about the rise in price of petrol or commodities or groceries or the monthly personal bills etc. There is only a steep rise and not a fall. Where is the world leading us to? Another painful fact is, where humanitarian is no more in one's heart, but just in air. No mercy, as the cold war continues.

Too many things to worry about.... but as someone said life should move on.
