All Salute the Rising Star

It is said that all is relative. Someone rightly said, the more the riches the more the relatives one has, & the lesser you have, the more people shy away from you. It is a materialistic world full of different jinxed people, some jinxed with wealth, others with ego, & the rest going crazy over their swanky dreams. The feeling or the pinch to be great is the most dominant amongst them all. This greatness comes in the form of popularity, money or some other package that looks glitzy, glamorous & gorgeous, making you feel the same way. Once you have these, you are recognized & well accepted by the society.
Stars keep on hovering over us, in the eternal space. These stars even though look insignificant for any human causes, are great in their own way. They are insignificant & of not any use, because we don’t extract any benefit from these stars. Except for some catastrophes like, flares, pulsars & the magnetic emissions from these heavenly bodies, that in turn keeps on disrupting the delicate balance of our mother earth. The Stars are born from a dormant zero value, just like humans. They grow big, start to shine & spread out light. The bigger the star the more it has the tendency to outgrow its neighbors, the shine of those adjacent neighbors slowly but steadily fades away.
The life cycle of humans is more or less like the life cycle of stars. The humans also tend to struggle in their lives, to strive & stride for their goals. The human nature is to slog it hard, toil it & soil et al to achieve even the unachievable & the unthinkable. This way we humans achieve our big feats & conquer big mountains. This is the dawn, a new beginning. A new horizon, a new peak in the life. Dreams get realized & the targets are met. With the turmoil’s and uprisings inside, man keeps on going with his whimsical dreams & unquenched desire for more. Many a sacrifices go into this making of the success. This success has no calling card, no address, & one has to chart out his own strategy & game plan to achieve the so called an elated feeling of “success”.
Success is all his, along with the pain, sorrow & tears. There are some times that are the valleys in this elated feeling. At these times if man peeps inside for some introspecting, can see it easily, as at these grim times his heart is the truest reflection of his mind & vice versa. He relishes his success calls along with his stumbling failures. He has the humility to accept his faults in the failing & tough times, & a jovial cheerful mood in the triumphant times of his life. They tend to become part & parcel of his life, just like 2 tracks of a railroad. He adapts, evolves & adjusts to his new way of life. He tries not to leave anything as a void, & tries to accomplish all that comes for his perusal. These tough times try him even more, wear him even more to bring out the complete, fine, polished man in him. He becomes stronger & an idol of idealism for others. It takes a lot of penance to keep the mind on track. In these circumstances the person becomes known to all the people around, all for good reasons. Everyone salutes the new born hero. It is rightly said that,"Don’t look down upon the people, on your way up!!Because you may have to look up to the same people, on your way down”.
So a person in the positions has to maintain his humility, leave the ego & be good to all & one around. The times however may not last forever. It goes well to say that nobody likes to see the sun setting (Dawn), even though it too has its serenity & charm. Nobody ever comes to see how much a student toils for 364 days of the year. However, what everybody comes to see is how much that student scored on the 365th day. If he has scored well, everyone praises his fruitful results, & if it is the other way round, it creates nothing more than a furor with a bad taste. It goes on to say that everyone salutes the Rising Star. They flourish from their stage of infancy to full blown out growth eventually to fade out one day in this vast universe of rising & falling star.
