Mark Twain once said, “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured”. True, but so many times in our lives, we stand in a situation where we have no choice but to store it all in our tiny little heads and keep it until it rots our precious brains.
I used to get angry, almost all the time, and upon every little thing. My friends teasing me for a dumb little thing, my family asking me to do something that I don’t feel like doing, and even the strangers that I would never cross paths with ever again in my life could have easily caused me a seizure attack someday. Especially the Auto Rikshaw drivers in Delhi NCR, like it’s their responsibility to make you go all bananas, and damn they are good at their jobs. I was so frustrated with these people and then finally I bought a bike to end it all for good and to be “Atmanirbhar”. But things got even worse from here. Earlier it was just the "Auto Walas" but now it’s the entire Delhi NCR, Honking and screaming for no region, taking a U-turn on a one-way road without any indication, Stopping on a National Highway for no specific reason, and many more.
Until one day when I was riding, angry with someone I don’t remember, I realized why this person has so much control over my brain. Why am I getting angry with someone that I am never going to see or meet ever again in my life? Why does this person have any Access to my brain at all?...
Now before going any further, let me tell you a little bit about a software called Active directory. If you are in any way related to IT-Infra Management or to Windows server, you may already know what it does. So basically, this software is used by the Server Administrator of a company to manage the user access starting from Logging into a computer to the internet Accessibility and almost everything you do on a computer can be managed by this software. So, putting it in simple words, it is a User Access Management Software. I took the ideology of Active Directory (AD) and used it to manage my brain. Like AD, I created groups of people that matter to me like my family, friends, relatives, and provided them with certain Access like the Family group being the strongest of all the groups and having full control. They can read, write, delete and manipulate the data. Friends can read and write but cannot manipulate. Relatives can only read and write specific entries and many more. Now in all these groups, there is a very special group called the “Auto Walas”. Now, whenever I am angry at someone, I put that person in this group, and boom, all the access has been revoked. Like some of my closest friends are regular visitors of this group.
This way at least I can think that I have control over my body and brain, and it works. My anger is managed and now I can stay focused on other things and have a good time.
