We want what we don't have...

Life Journey
3.7 out of 5 (3 )

Kannan and vani got into relationship while working together temporarily in a government based organization. Lot of opposition happened from both the sides. but they were very determined to get married. Their life ambition was to get married to each other. When the emotional and attachment levels went up, they decided to stay together and didn't go home one day. Amidst various interruptions, they got married with the help of good friends. Next their mind went towards making their parents accept them. Due to their genuine efforts, after some period both the sides softened their stance towards children and both the sides accepted each other.

Both worked in some companies and some how they wanted to buy a flat as both of their brothers, sisters did not own anything. So they wanted to be first on buying a house and their entire ambition went towards getting an apartment now. After good efforts somehow they booked a flat and got their ambition fulfilled. Now they wanted to buy a car as they wanted to be the first in entire family in getting a car. Now their entire mind and ambition turned towards buying a car. Again after some real planning they got a beautiful Hyundai sedan. After they spent all their energy in getting all these, they fail to realize about the importance of having children suddenly. Almost all their brothers and sisters have one or someone have two children. They literally postponed this idea of having children, due to the priority of having house and car as their firsts.

Now slowly their focus turned towards getting a child. Unfortunately after 2 years they were finding it difficult to get a kid due to their stress in job and anxiety about whether they will get it or not. This added fuel to the fire. They started going to mangadu temple in the outskirts of Chennai. Most of the people believed that going consecutively 7 weeks with a prayer to mangadu , prayers will happen successfully. They started visiting mangadu temple vigorously. simultaneously they started taking treatment at a leading fertility clinic in chennai. cost of treatment was very high. but still they were ready to spend to any extent to get a kid. They forgot all the successes they had earlier and were very stressed about getting a child. Their entire ambition in their life now is is changed to about getting a child.

At last due to mangadu amman's blessings and the excellent treatment rendered by the fertility hospital, vani became pregnant. Both were excited and kannan took extreme care of vani. Finally their desire, ambition of getting a child was fulfilled as a beautiful boy was born. Their excitement went to sky levels as they celebrated this with friends and relatives in a very grand manner

They were so much excited and felt as if they are the happiest in the world. A year went by. they lived in an apartment which contained 8 flats. They organized a gettogether on the eve of new year. all arrived at the gettogether. They counted on each family for the ordering of food. each and every family gave 4 counts. Only kannans family count was three. suddenly kannan& vani realized that they are the only family having one child. All the other families have 2 children. That particular night while they went to sleep, slowly both talked about only them in the apartment having a single kid. Both of their minds started thinking about why don't they have 2 children. slowly they started and desired to have another child. After sometime the view became strong. They started planning for the next child. Again temple visits ,prayers happened. Of course again they wanted to go for treatment. This time cost was heavier more . Their entire focus started on getting the second child. suddenly the first child looked bit boring. Since they were going out to temples and for the treatments often, the first child was taken little care. they could not be with the child often. so a caretaker from bihar arrived to take care of the child.

Months went by. One day after going to temple, both kannan, vani came back to see that the house was locked. They were surprised. they thought the caretaker charu had gone to some local shop with the kid. they waited for hours together to see that she never turned up with the child. they got scared and searched at so many places.

Yes. The child is missing. They gave a police complaint. Police enquired with the caretakers place in bihar and also chided kannan, vani for their carelessness. searches continued for a week. They couldn't get any clue . kannan and vani felt so bad and guilty about the carelessness they had on the first child. Again they started praying to all kinds of god to get back the child. they prayed even to the extent that if they are not getting the child, they will even go to the extent of committing suicide. they went through a local MLA to give pressure to the police to get the kid. All the days kannan& vani went to different temples and prayed badly.

They cried badly and took a pledge that they do not even want a second kid and will stop the treatment for getting the second child. they said to the almighty that they will be happy with the first child and they don't even want the second kid. The way they prayed they are happy with the only child and will take extreme care if they are getting back their child. they cried so badly to the almighty.

Finally God answered. police were able to trace out the caretaker woman with the child in Andhra. so kannan and vani went to Andhra hurriedly and some how got the child back to them.

After all the formalities over in getting the child, they came back home and started taking extreme care of their only child.

They got into a realization that mind always want ⁵what it's deprived of or what it doesn't have. Even if you get, after sometime new one get bored. They took a pledge to sense that they should be contented with whatever they have ..

Even anything comes to your mind, find out whether you really want that. if it's needed go. Otherwise don't go for it . Even looking at others having 2cars we will feel like buying 2 & pay interest on loan and get into trouble. while having calm mind think whether you really need that. realize and be contented. if it's needed go for it. otherwise be happily contented with whatever you have. Realize that mind always want what it's deprived of.
