Success does not come empty-handed. It comes with bundles of hassles.
The first measures of success are how many turn jealous against you; how many friends you lose; how many fiends are activated; how many rumours are doing the rounds. If there are abundant ticks in all these, you can count yourself a great success.
Jesus pays with his life for attaining success of salvation. Chaitanyo Mahaprobhu is no exception. Tagore was torn apart by critics for his success in modernizing his mother tongue.

How come, you forget your own dialogue in a blockbuster movie that you single handedly carried through, as you did in your other films?
“What makes you live so passionately?” A journalist asked Dilip Kumar on his 93rd birthday.
“I didn’t miss in my life the sun-rise and sun-set,” the non-agenarian actor replied, “even for a single day.” He emphasized.
The simple things of life need to be taken notice of as they are the bounty of Nature. They may not make for some exciting marvel, but they are enduring enough to boost you emotionally.

Taking life is not the way. It cannot be. Because life includes living full in all its shades and excludes the negation of them.
Life is inclusive; it preludes co-existence of opposites to sustain the charm of it; all along.
Sushant, you may have overlooked it, caught in a whirlwind of compelling competition to go up and up.
The earth below no more gets earthy to you, perhaps. It becomes telescopic distant from the height you take yourself to.
So is the disconnect.
