Our ripples today

Ever heard of Neil Armstrong ?
You might know him as the first ever person to step on the moon. An amazing icon for inspiration, and a motivational speaker too.
He travelled through Apollo 11. 

But do you know who else travelled with him?
Two more people : Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.

Buzz Aldrin is the man who was the second human being to ever step on the moon. (not Neil Armstrong himself, to those lame people)

When the flag was hoisted on the surface of the moon, Neil Armstrong and several others provided that the mere flag of the U.S. wasn’t a flag representing a country but rather it was a step for greater successes to come.

The person who made it all possible for them at that time to hoist the flag and to ensure their safety was Michael Collins.
He stayed back in the spacewalker, but he had to keep the spacewalker moving. Therefore he had to make an entire revolution around the moon. 

For about 48 minutes, I can proudly state that Michael Collins was the most loneliest living person ever being existed.

Even a person casted away in an anonymous island isn’t alone as there IS a living ecosystem around him. 

But what Michael Collins experienced was beyond what we can ever imagine.
Don’t get bored by these facts. There's something coming up.

If you understand the real essence of this fact, you would realise that Michael Collins made it possible for bringing back the men who had walked on the moon, by being alone and sacrificing a shot at enormous fame by revolving around the Moon.

No one remembers Buzz Aldrin or Michael Collins. But because of Michael Collins, we only got to know about Neil Armstrong (which is sad, eventually)

We, as people, have faced and face, many situations in our life which require us to sacrifice for the greater good. 
The message of this blog is that even if it is a non-acknowledging task, complete it, you never really know how it matters in the distant future.
And don't worry, you WILL get your reward definitely. Do good things even if there's a chance of your work going unnoticed. The bill always comes due.

The consequences of our actions predetermine the ripples generated today ~⚡️

Sorry for a factual blog(maybe), I gave an example because I believe that it is better to explain a fact with an example rather than just throwing them at you.

Solidarity or Solitary?

on the 10th day, you do look back,  and you see traces of your steps following you on that same muddy trail, and you have returned to that place, you aren't shocked seeing them, thinking they are not yours, you see your footprint, carved in the mud, its of a shoe, and you are wearing flip-flops now. you look down at your feet, knowing you have fresh footprints you are about to leave ahead, which will not match the previous ones, and you think, anyone else who witnesses these two sets of footprints, if they get as far in the mud as yourself, will not know they are the same person's. you realise nobody will know, nobody will know of those 10 days, but you do not stop realising there,  you go further to think that nobody might even care to differentiate. where you stand now, you see you are not far from that cliff, which you had seen 10 days before,  you are exactly where you left your journey, you are exactly where you turned back. somehow this time, you aren't as prepared...

On the Door

everyday at half past 4 i keep my ears on the door. trying to wonder what your footsteps would have sounded like, trying to figure out was it my fault some night? everyday at half past 4 i keep my ears on the door. I often wonder why you walked out that night, Although i haven’t seen you ever, You leaving, surely does click my memory.   my mother has often talked about you, but only unintentionally. every time she is reminded of some hilarious memories of both of you, the smile on her face is drawn carefully,   and is even fragile, which fades away, because you walked out one night.   Father, I wanted to tell you something, I wanted to tell you that i realised something great today. That is, even if you don’t know a person, or haven’t met them ever, that person can be remembered.   In fact you can even be missed.   my mother had told me that you had left early in the morning,   around four, ...

Most Weapons Made Are Never Used

Looking at the hue in the sky, observing the tranquility it has to offer, sometimes one can wonder, were the skies always so serene? has there always been existence, of opportunities that convey, simple leisure to whirl up our imagination, to see what figures we create out of nothing? or has the world been taut between endless wars, wars that don't allow much comfort, that we may look up and appreciate the variety of hues. a tendentious reading of history, has shown how wars have been recurrent, and how weapons were forged accordingly. what a writer's mind might wander into, is the inevitable process of thinking about the weapons that were forged. what you observe in the museums, and oftentimes, in contemporary news, is how lethal weapons are designed, but are barely used, and oftentimes never used up to their full potential. hoping to fathom what their true abilities might be, a weakening kick to the senses make us grave, because some of those might not see the daylight.  it t...
