Live the moment - A Happiness Mantra

The world is full of surprises and of course, shocks. We are put in situations where we forget to smile and frown becomes a permanent part of our face and life. But then, too much of anything does not make life interesting. Life is a mixture of all things, smile, tear, anger, success, frustrations and many more. Life has not been fair to me and it always vice versa also. I was also not smart enough to understand or accept life.
But change is the only thing constant in life. And growth happens whether we like it or not. Growth is generally all rounded, emotionally, physically and also spiritually. A yoga class made a change in my life. It was unexpected and strange. The change was refreshing and gave me different perspective of life. They taught me the most valuable lesson of my life
Live the moment is my new mantra. Every minute of our life is unpredictable. Nothing is permanent in our life. Neither smile nor tear is permanent. Nothing actually lasts. But that does not mean we can’t live life. When we start to cherish and relish each and every minute of our life. We have mastered the trick. It sounds simple. And it is not simple or difficult.
We don’t have control over a lot of things happening in our life. Then why do we spend energy and time worrying about things we can’t change. Everything happens for a reason. And even if we don’t have a reason, it does not matter. Tear is also a vital part of life. We forgot this and ultimately destroy the most important part of our life. We lose our life. We get drowned in the moment of sadness and forget to live life herself.
Happiness is something we search everywhere. We try different means to find her. Yet we get disappointed and lost in the process. I have moved heaven and hell to find her. Even Google don’t seem to have an answer for it. I realized that the only person who can make me happy irrespective of the situation I am in is me.  That does not mean I don’t have friends.
 I have found the shortcut to happiness, Acceptance. I have learned to accept the things happening to me. I don’t like most things happening to me. I have learned to just accept it just like the things I love. Every emotion is a part of me. We don’t question the smile, then why grumble about the gloom. Accept every emotion and learn to enjoy it. I don’t control the way I feel. I don’t give the control to my emotions. Every success and failure is a part of me and I just live the moment. I am not successful in it and let my emotions control me at times. Yet something is better than nothing. I keep trying and smiling
Happiness is everywhere. We just have to accept it. A chocolate, cold coke, A joke, Even 5 minutes of half sleep between stressful work , watching video  with friends and in a lot of things give us happiness. But we spend a lot of time thinking about lost things and forget to live life. Let’s live the moment for a change and be happy.

Hey Ocean, Here I come

If you could plan your death, how would you plan it? #PlanUrDeath  This is a very interesting thought. The thought itself is enough to chill our bones. Death is something which is beyond our control. It is the unconquered kingdom. It is something which we cannot predict nor decide. It happens in its own phase, in its own time and in its own style. Still given as a chance. It would be the most exciting and interesting event to plan.  My death will be combination of the things I love. I would try to make it as interesting as possible.  Goodbyes are very important to me. It gives a proper ending to our life. The problem with death is we never have time for good bye. The person suddenly disappears leaving a vacuum behind. This leaves the loved ones feeling lost. I will write a proper goodbye to all the important friends and enemies. Sometimes the people who make us cry are the people who has created a great impact on them. I would try to forgive the people who have hurt...

Rock to Sculpture

Every person we meet creates an impact on us. The way the impact works is quite surprising. Sometimes the impact created by a stranger is more than the impact by a close friend. I always consider life as a block of coal or a big piece of rock. The journey from Coal to diamond or Rock to sculpture takes a lot of time and can also be painful. It does not happen with a single person or with a single incidence. The conversation process is continuous and can happen till our last breath. We get better and better with age and experience. I have never managed to understand when a person reaches his best. Maybe the level is unattainable. Still changes, both ups and downs happen throughout our lives. I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights. ...

30 minutes

The train came to a halt with a jerk. I gripped the support railing for balance. So did the people around me. Something felt different. The people and the surrounding was new and strange. I felt as though I was transported magically to an alien land. The people around me was busy in their own world. Some in their thoughts and some in their phones. At every stop a war brewed between passengers fighting over to get down and trying to board the train. I calmly stood there trying to understand the surroundings. Yet I could sense a Storm inside me. Like a programmed robot, I got down in a station. I stood there watching the train continue its journey. It was then I realised. Where the hell am I and who am I. I had no memory of both the things or anything for that matter. I sat in the nearest stone bench and tried to absorb the activity around me. I glanced at the phone and it read 9.00 pm. I tried to make a call and could not remember the pattern. The activity around me slowly became thinn...
