CRY CRY

Whenever I listen to this song cry cry itna cry karte hain kaiko from the movie Jhoota Hi Sahi, wonder why do we cry? Is crying good or bad?

When we see our loved ones crying, it makes us feel sad. Reason...we know they are in pain and we don't want them to go through that pain. When our kids cry, we get really upset and when they cry for no reason, we scream, yell and get really frustrated. We always want them to be happy.

So... is CRYING really a bad thing? There are times when CRYING is considered to be good...

- When baby is born, everyone want the baby to cry. Does that mean we are not happy to see the baby happy? Nope.... it's an indication of LIFE. If the baby doesn't cry, nurses and doctors pat or swing the baby upside down to make him/her cry. So CRYING is a sign of LIFE for new born baby.

- A mother cries in pain while delivering the baby and again cries in happiness when she holds her baby for the first time after birth. CRYING here is very natural.

- A new born baby cries when hungry, it is an indication for the tired and restless mommy to feed the baby. CRYING here is a survival technique bestowed by God.

- People cry when loved ones die. If not, it is an indication of mental SHOCK. People even hire professionals to make everyone cry... funeral wailing in Rudali movie.

- Tears are good to clean and lubricate the eyes. CRYING is good here too….but to certain limit ;-).

Didn't know there are different types of tears until I read this article: http://www.gibbsmagazine.com/CryinLaughing.htm. Very interesting....

"....First of all, there are really three different types of tears. Basal tears keep our eyes lubricated constantly. Reflex tears are produced when our eyes get irritated, like with onions or when something gets into our eyes. The third kind of tear is produced when the body reacts emotionally to something. Each type of tear contains different amounts of chemical proteins and hormones..."

- Last, but not the least, CRYING is a way to unleash your inner pain and relieve the pressure of strong emotions, especially when you miss your dear ones.

And here are some health benefits of crying: http://www.helium.com/items/339767-possible-health-benefits-of-crying

OK. Enough of CRYING now. Be HAPPY and when the time comes, do shed some tears.

For now, enjoy the song on YouTube..... rote kai ko hum.. hain...rote kai ko hum.... even though it is a song on CRY, absolutely no CRY on their faces. It should have been smile smile itna smile.... karte kaiko hum....haste kai ko hum. Anyways, love this song :-).
