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.

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. ...

Digital India - A shortcut to Safer India

Digital India – A vision by the government, An expectation by the youth, A mystery for the public What does digital India mean? This question which pops into everyone’s mind and heart when they hear the term. It may also seem as an unattainable fruit to some. This is true to some extent. But this will definitely create a great change in the life of every individual. More than anything, I see this as stepping stone towards a safer nation. Safe nation is slowly becoming a distant dream. Some blame the women. Some blame the men. But maybe both and to some extent the nation as a whole is also responsible. Men harass women because they think they are helpless and vulnerable. Women allow this because they think men are stronger. Indians are not heartless enough to allow a crime happen right in front of their nose. Sometimes they become worried about the consequences of helping others. Thanks to the laws and corruption. I have always wondered what would be the hope and thought of a ...

Foot Prints on Time

Is age just a number? I wonder within myself Or it could have been aloud I can no longer tell My ears are sharp, but my mind is preoccupied I try recalling the past But it seems like a distant memory Everything is a blur of multiple emotions I wish I could see through them At least relive a few; forget many But life does not work that way I feel weary in my bones I wish I could rest But the journey is still not over I hope it is not long as before Almost half is what I can do My knees tremble as I gaze behind My eyesight dims as the distance increases I have come a long way Through different phases and even eras I look at the age Is it just a number? Did I ask myself this before? Is my work done? Can I do anything else? The questions keep adding. Was it memorable? It was interesting Was I happy? I forgot to tick the box. Am I mature? Only time will tell The age might not be just a number anymore It is a reminder to let go It is a reminder to cherish the small things It is a reminder to...
