दिमाग़ में दीमक? 🧠

2:44 am

Today at home, the bed in my parents' room has been there for 15 years, since I was in 4th grade, and it has stayed in that same room until now. Suddenly today, I felt like the bed had sunk. When I removed the mattress and looked, I found that it had termites and probably won’t last more than a week or 15 days. I felt bad upon realizing this, but I also understood one thing: if we don’t take care of something, it often doesn’t last long. The bed that has been there for so many years suddenly has termites because it hasn’t been given any attention. We thought it was fine as it was, no matter how many people sat on it or how much water spilled on it; we believed it could endure everything. Perhaps in all this, we forgot that it also has its limits. 

Talking about the bed reminds me that i used to think that the real battle in life took place outside in the fields, mostly with strangers who were unknown to me. But as I grew older, I realized that I was living in an illusion. In reality, the struggle happens on that 36x75 inch single bed in the room. It might sound very strange to everyone reading this, but the truth is that for the past 6-7 years, my main struggle has been how to motivate myself to get out of bed and start my routine. Honestly, for me, the hardest task has been this for several years. Once I leave the bed, everything else becomes easier. In fact, no external force or obstacle hinders my work; rather, it’s my own thoughts that weaken me. Every day, I fight against those thoughts and get out of bed. In this way, I win a battle against myself every day.

जैसे बैड का ध्यान नहीं रखा तो उसमे दीमक लग गए वैसे अगर दिमाग़ का ध्यान नहीं दिया तो उसमे भी दीमक लगने का ख़तरा है, बैड तो दूसरा आ सकता, पर दिमाग़????(and it’s not about termites)
