Stochastic Theory - The Pregnant Deer Story

Ever found yourself in a situation where nothing goes your way?
All you can feel is how miserable your life has become. That "Loser Wali Feel" is one of the worst things one can experience in life. Your situation is like what the pregnant deer is facing right now- STUCK!!
Just have a look.



Many of you would have read this before.. Its a very famous story.. But still, if not, then before you proceed, try to think what happens to the deer.

Will everything be burnt by the forest fire...?
Can the deer go left..? No, the hunter's arrow is pointing at her.
Can she go right...? No, the hungry male lion is approaching her.
Can she move up..? No, there the forest is on fire.
Can she move down..? No, that is where the fierce river is.

Honestly, in similar situations in life, I tend to lose hope, and start panicking. I forget to 'chill' as one would advice. Ah.. A bad habit of mine. After reading the explanation to this theory, I was awestruck!! I realized that problems in the mind are smaller than they appear..

See what happens to the deer..

In a spur of MOMENT, a lightning strikes and blinds the eyes of the hunter...!
At that MOMENT, he releases the arrow missing and zipping past the deer...!
At that MOMENT, the arrow hits and injures the lion badly...!
At that MOMENT, it starts to rain heavily and puts out the forest fire...!
At that next MOMENT, the deer gives birth to a healthy fawn...!

LOL!! The deer didn't die, instead one new deer was added to the world :D

Call that crazy, but the point is, THERE WAS A WAY OUT!!!

I too had a similar situation..(Wasn't pregnant of-course :D ). I was surrounded by the same amount of tension as the deer.  Demotivated, frustrated, irritated, everything at the same time. The clouds were darker cuz I wasn't selected for the second round of one of the good companies that day. Fire was fierce cuz "Jal Gayi Thi". Behind me was my inner competitive person pointing arrow towards me, and ahead of me was INFOEDGE!!
And the arrow striked INFOEDGE!! I cracked it..
Thanks to someone's formula- Repeat 'BHAD ME JAA' in your mind.

In our life too, there are MOMENTS of CHOICE when we all have to deal with negative thoughts from all sides. Some thoughts are so powerful they overcome us and make us clueless.

Anything can happen in a MOMENT in this life. If you are religious, superstitious, atheist, agnostic or whatever, you can attribute this MOMENT to divine intervention, faith, sudden luck, serendipity, coincidence, karma, or a simple 'BHAAD ME JAA'...!!!
