`lord Vishnu Must Be Wondering Why I Panic Over Everything`

I’m convinced that if Vishnu ji ever checks in on me during the day, He just leans back on Sheshnag, looks at Lakshmi ji and asks:

“Why is this woman panicking again? I literally saved the universe before breakfast.”

And yet here I am… spiraling over extremely important matters such as:

“Where’s my phone?”

“Why is the Wi-Fi behaving like it’s on leave?”

“How did the chai boil over at the exact second I looked away?”

Truly… cosmic issues

`Scene 1: Morning Begins → Panic Begins`

I wake up, and within 5 seconds remember some random task I forgot

You’d think someone set off a fire alarm

Meanwhile, Vishnu ji is probably still stretching His arms and saying:

“Beta… at least get out of bed before panicking.”

The day hasn’t even properly started, but my anxiety has already done 4 laps around the room

`Scene 2: WhatsApp → My Doom Portal`

A simple message in a family group appears:

“Call me when free.”

Normal humans: “Okay.”

Me: “WHAT HAPPENED? WHO? WHY? HOW? WHERE?”

Vishnu ji, watching my heart rate spike:

“It’s about vegetables. Relax.”

And honestly, He’s right

If He ever rewrote the Puranas for modern life, one chapter would be titled:

“Overthinking: Today’s Most Active Asura.”

`Scene 3: Kitchen — My Battlefield of Drama`

Water spills

The stove doesn’t light

The breakfast turns slightly salty

And my reaction?

“Why is the universe plotting against me?!”

lord Vishnu, casually spinning His Sudarshan Chakra like a fidget toy:

“Child, I fought actual demons. You’re fighting breakfast. Please calm down.”

Perspective = shattered

`Scene 4: The Phone Search Olympics`

Nothing unleashes my inner chaos like losing my phone

I blame my husband

I blame destiny

I consider filing a missing-person report

Meanwhile, Vishnu ji:

“…check under the pillow.”

And of course—

there it is

Every. Single. Time

`Scene 5: Evening Meltdown — The Grande Finale`

The light flickers one time

Me:

“IS THE INVERTER DYING?

ARE WE PREPARED?

DO WE NEED A SURVIVAL KIT?

SHOULD WE MOVE TO THE HILLS??”

Vishnu ji:

“Voltage fluctuation, my child. Nothing more.”

Lakshmi devi, sipping chai:

“She’s sweet… but dramatic.”

`The Divine Reality (That I Keep Forgetting)`

Yes—

I panic

Too much

Too often

Mostly for no reason

But Vishnu ji?

He just watches with that peaceful, eternal smile

The smile of someone who’s literally managing the cosmos and still has enough patience for one overly dramatic human

And maybe that’s the message:

If the one who preserves the entire universe isn’t panicking…

maybe I don’t have to either

Will I stop panicking tomorrow?

Let’s be honest—

No. It’s my superpower. 😄✨

But at least now, every time I overreact

I imagine Vishnu ji shaking His head fondly and saying:

“It’s okay, child. I’ve got this… and you.”

`here's to conclude with a disclaimer`

this is a pure view about myself and the circumstances which i feel as a challenge to control my inner feelings and emotions

my attempts to respond to situations or to people which i fumble but am still trying

this may not be with everyone but with people like me who are still taking baby steps towards leading a meaningful and spiritual life with always keeping their gods or spiritual gurus by their side as a guide to look up to in stressful situations
