Random Ramblings

It's 6 in the morning. Freezing cold. Standing beside the window, I take a look at the beautiful morning about to begin. The weather is foggy, quite contrary to the thoughts in my mind which are crystal clear. As I watch people walking on the lane, a train of thoughts begins. A few going for a morning walk, the religious ones going to the temple, a little kid holding the index finger of his grandfather who, without a halt, teaches him the dos and don’ts of his life and apart from all of them, I see a newspaper distributor cycling his way in the nippy weather doing his job almost everyday without a fail, while I watch them standing in my cozy room. And that makes me wonder that what it is that makes him do such a job. Why can’t he, just like me, sit in a cozy room, grab a steaming cup of hot coffee and watch the beautiful sunrise????

Isn't it the MONEY……yeah….it’s the force…oops…no…..it’s the greed or maybe let’s say it’s the need that makes them forget about the comfort. While we fight the world to move an inch out of that cozy bed, that man bravely fights the desire to spend a comfortable life in order to give a comfy life to his loved ones. He can’t even cherish his dream of spending quality time with his loved ones, the ones for whom he works like a machine!

I am so tired of watching such sad, morose faces around me that it makes me wonder if there is any one left in the world who works to derive pleasure, who is inspired from within to work because that makes him happy. There are enough of them already who work for profits, to fulfil their needs, who work for the sake of working, not because they are gaining anything but earning money. People are not contented with their lives. Their desires are unending. Nobody wants to follow his/her heart or seek his dreams. A new form of dreams called CORRUPT DEAMS has emerged these days which doesn’t need you to listen to your heart, to think about what you like but in fact use your brain, make titsy-bitsy calculations, weigh the pros and cons and if the results are profitable enough …den yes that’s the dream they follow. It’s a wild rat-race.


But I dream of a state where I see myself turning my dreams into reality, where we could follow our hearts without any restrictions, where we started our day thinking of the beautiful surprises that the day held within it, where we could do the things we liked the most like catching up on our old buddies, enjoying with little kids, play/watch our fav sport, completing the long pending activity, going thru the old albums and reminiscing the whole scene watching that photograph.
Wouldn't that be great? **sigh**

Hey Don't Worry!! Be Happy!!Stay Jaunty!! :)

Worrying was never my sport.

Melancholy n I never shared a good rapport.

I kicked it, punched it, dribbled my way,

If ever it found its way

Into my life, which was pretty ok.

Then one day, it sneaked through the back-door.

The smashing of windows made me aware

Of the intruder who had found its way.

I could fight it anyhow but there was something more

It blackmailed me, strangled my loved ones and seeked entry in my core.

My lares and penates had been knocked sky-high.

With worry, I could do nothing but try.

Time went on and my worries multiplied henceforth.

There was nothing and noone around and all this I loathed.

Troubles grow bigger if you nurse them.

So why not taint them!

I sharpened my tool and glossed it more.

So it pricks it right into its core.

And gave my best smile everytime it attacked mine.

The dual would not cease,

Until one day tired and defeated, it left me pleased.

And I knew my smile had the power

If not to woo an urchin,

Then it’s enough to save happiness for a lifetime.

Good 2 accept changes and move on....

There is always a point in our life when we feel that it is like a smooth river flowing all by itself. But have we ever wondered that it was not like this from the very beginning it must have carved its way like a river. It must have been born somewhere, been nurtured by someone, going though lot many ups and downs all alone by itself, creating the path of its journey all by itself. But creating that path was not that easy as it looks. It goes through different phases, and journey through each phase adds a new aspect to its outward appearance and it keeps on moving to reach were it is destined to.

And when I think about our lives it’s quite similar. We come in this world as a baby girl or baby boy, nurtured by our parents. When we go through joyous and bad times we definitely have few shoulders to rely on, which can be compared to many tributaries of the river. As a tributary increases the crescendo of the river in a same way our near and dear ones strengthen our will when we are crestfallen, by their advices and by showing their concern and care to us. The middle part of river can be compared to our lives in professional college and after that as a professional. Similar to the river becoming deeper and wider in this stage we also start to acquire depth of ideas and skills, there is constant increase in our knowledge and a certain level of maturity is also reached. And finally the last stage of river can be compared to last stage of our life the strength of river decreases and it attains the calmness that is associated with an old person. It leaves many distributaries and that can be taken as loss of relations at the end of life when we lose our dear ones.

Our lives are not that simple as it looks like. It’s all about a new change every second. And how quickly and easily u adapt to that change is important just like a river does. Without any questioning and giving a second thought why such a change? It adapts itself and moves on. River teaches us that obstacles in our life are their only to modify us in a better way. And each of these obstacles teaches us something for sure, a new aspect of life comes up, our minds are broadened.

That’s what we need to learn from it. That change plays a very important role in our making. Our life looks so smooth yet it is like a river comprising of different stages. And each stage has its own role to play with its own significance. Each stage teaches us something new, the lesson it holds in it to be read aloud to us. So that we can move forward in our lives and accept everything that comes up.

We need to accept changes because at one or the other point we wished for it. The situation that we are in was once desired by us and when we are there living it all of a sudden we don’t want to be there. But why? When you are living your dream it is simply you and your dream. Then you need not think about your past or your future. And never think that your dream has pushed you away from someone or you have missed on the other thing. Live the moment you once desired for your way so that you never regret later that you missed on something.

And when you live your life whole heartedly you will never have a moment to regret about. God bless.
