Do You....??

Do you wish you could share a beautiful view with someone special ? Do you sing loudly in the shower ? Do you stare at the sunset , or a cascade of rain? Do you sigh when you see happy endings in movies ? Do you tip-toe to the refrigerator at one in the night and eat ice-cream straight from the bowl ? Do you hum along when you hear an old song you love ? Do you keep a special person's picture in your wallet ? Do you love talking with somebody late into the night ? Do you blow kisses to people across a room ? Do you dance like no one is watching ? Do you adore rain drops on your skin ? Do you feel bliss laying down in a sleepy-drunk state after a tiring day's work ? Do you get goosebumps when you are about to see your result ? Do you light up when friends turn up to give you surprises ? Do you tease your friends ? Do you remember your favourite poem by heart ? Do you feel nice when someone thanks you ? Do you return a smile a stranger passes you ? Do you smile when you sometimes hear birds chirping in the wee hours of morning ? Do you like holding hands while crossing roads ? Do you like to feel the wind in your face ? Do you put your head in your mother's lap so she would ruffle your hair ? Do you feel awe when you see cloud formations in the sky ? Do you shout your lungs out on a roller-coaster ride ? Do you laugh along when you see a baby laughing ? Do you dig Tom and Jerry ? Do you give a hug all you've got ? Do you appreciate the small things in life ? Do you feel excited when you plan for a trip ? Do you still remember your first award ?

Do you relate yourself with all while reading it..? 

Life's small happinesses?

Beautiful People Do Not just Happen....!!

In life many a times we all do feel low… Sometimes it’s just the circumstances which make us feel this way and at times… the situations. But what matters is… how these situations and circumstances mould us as a person.

It was one of those days when everything seemed wrong to me. I questioned my self about why was all that happening to me… Did I do something wrong to anyone…then why me??… Relations seemed confusing… people became different… some were for real so stayed rest just changed their ways.

                              

One after the other days passed by… and I experienced - difference…

From being the chirpy little boy… I started staying quiet. Every time something or the other kept occupying my mind. Long back then I was a kid who used to bounce all over the place… but now even to talk to strangers made me uncomfortable…It was all too complex… The feeling that am changing was hard to believe.

In no span of time I realized I have changed… and have become a completely different person. Till here I didn't know was it for good or for bad…is this going to help me or make my situation even worse… Everything changed except the faith I had in myself and my schooling. It may sound a thought from an old school but the fact is they taught me to respect the other individual… respect emotions… understand the other person as an individual like you… The ones around me have success but not the humanity that I do.  I realized… this is what is missing in this world today but I have it in me. The thought in itself is so beautiful!!!

Before, I used question those situations and times but today I thank them. It was a testing phase which was really harsh and as well as complex. But what I learnt out of those difficult times was… a lot of patience …every time there is a more complex situation… more patient I became… I trusted myself…

It takes a lot time and patience to nurture that kind of beauty. The other beauty can be maintained through creams and lotions but the heart or the soul that one has makes all the difference. All the hard times and the experience out there is what make one beautiful! its difficult to find or have the heart which deep inside knows it all, has seen it all but still doesn't know how to hurt any one but to forgive and keep going.

More than the destination it’s the journey that matters! After all beautiful people do no just happen…!!

Happiness...The way it is!!

Life, as they say, is a castle of building blocks. You put it piece by piece to carve out the best shape and a sweeping wind all of a sudden destroys it all.. There is end of your life, and you leave this world as you came, "EMPTY HANDED"..

It leaves us with a question, What are we doing about it? Should we just throw up our hands in despair and lament about the fact that all we have is going to be left behind? 

Let's just change the perspective and look it this way,

When in the end, all will be left, lets collect something which we don't have to carry, let's collect which is serene, lets collect what we are going to spread as we leave, lets collect HAPPINESS!!

This is,just exactly the answer of the next obvious question..where do we find happiness? It does not come from getting a dream job that pays you million dollars. Neither does it come from living in a 20-storey mansion where you need a mercedes not only to travel outside,but inside too. Its all a matter of collecting the right moments, savoring the right memories, relishing the right company. When was the last time you became happy with no fear in mind? 

• When you fed a poor hungry street kid, and felt the peace and satisfaction watching him eat, did you feel happy that time?
• When all of a sudden, a friend with whom you hadn't talked to for years, called you up. His voice, his stories, did that make you happy?
• When your friend was sad, sitting alone and you judged the situation without asking, hugged him and said, "It will be all right buddy!!" and then he smiled. That must be something that made you feel happy too.
• Sitting with your loved one, you watched a romantic movie,and after it ended, SHE/HE said to you, "I LOVE YOU DEAR!!" Did you feel happy then?
• When you spent the best of the hours with people you love, and remembered those moments later at night, I bet it brought happiness on your face.
• When after all the toil, you presented your first salary check to your dad, did that glint of pride in his eyes bring happiness to you?
• Being with a baby, playing with him, watching him smile, feeling his little hands and feet, and watching him sleep, you felt a smile on your face too?
• Being in nature's lap,on a mountain, in a green field,or at a beach, feeling the breeze, watching the people pass by,watching the morning sun and closing your eyes. you definitely felt that happiness.
• When in the middle of the night, and your snoring sounds, somebody woke you up, turned on the lights and screamed. "SURPRIZE!!!" You must have got irritated then but it did bring a smile on your face later, didn't it?
• That moment when you lived the way you wanted to, screamed, laughed at something which only you and your friend knew about, joked meaninglessly..teased your loved ones..beahaved like mad people, danced so carelessly that it looked obscene, sang like the worst singers and felt proud of it, your most embarassing moment, your moment of victory, the moment you got caught something you were not suppossed to do, oh and the list is endless. Doesn't remembering all this makes you happy? not even a little bit?

That is what happiness is all about. Live your life so that there's never a dull moment. Every second, every minute is yours. Go on, find people who care for you and live your life the way you want. Live for others, live for yourself!! Just Live your life.. Coz we live once and only ONCE. Rest becomes history!!

Beyond Pain.....

Sometimes we just want to cry out loud… but we can’t as we are surrounded by people who “may think we are weak”… and some other times our tears too leave our eyes alone... dry and empty and sad… dying to say something but awaiting for an ounce of understanding from even a stranger… tired of pretending and deceiving…
We all are grown enough to think for our self… at least we think so… we just need people in our life to listen to us without judging… without opining… without hating us for what we did but still loving us and helping us to understand what we “actually did”… someone who “understands us”… a “friend”… someone who will read our eyes when we are trying to show that we are all right, confident and strong but we are so hurt inside…
Desires are there in every one of us… for some it’s when we want to be better than our companion at work & career or friend circle or beauty or talent or bikes or popularity or girlfriend/boyfriend or anything… some other times we want the person we deeply love to look at us and attend us and love us at least a little if not as much as we do … some other times we want our parents and elders who we really respect and adore to understand us.. to permit us to do our will ... to appreciate what we are good at… and so many things…
Why every time we feel so small… even if we have achieved many good things in life… why every time we want to be and have “more than them”. Why jealous? Why fake? Why lying? Why cheating? Why so dissatisfied? Why now we don’t have a single spare minute each day to thank God for what He made us and gave us? Why we can’t understand how better we are than so many other people who live only cuz they “can’t afford to die” (may be cause no money or too many responsibilities).
Life can be so much better and pleasant if we stop “expecting”… and just do our “karma” with dedication…
But that sounds so “unreal” and “impossible”…
It surely is not… though too close to being called so…
We can’t stop lying & faking as that is the demand of our society. No one will accept an “Honest Loser” na! But we can at least make sure we love honestly… and lie harmlessly… and pretend without losing the knowledge of who we actually are and being proud of it…
May be just like sometimes we need someone …
To smile and hug us…
To wipe our tears…
To tap our back on our success…
To party around with us…
We can also do it for someone…

I am LUCKY that i have such good friends :)
