Two sides of a coin does not hold true always

The mixture of happiness and sadness is always felt by us. It feels good but its hard to comment on what we are actually feeling. Each one of us have a special thing in us but we always feel jealous of others when we think they are better than us. The value of a few things can be felt only when we lose it. It might me a tangible one or an intangible one. Why has god created such a world where people cannot understand the value of things but can understand only when it is snatched away from them?

When we lose something we regret about it later even after knowing that it will never come back to us. Repentance is the deepest void in the heart. Once the void is created, it is very difficult to fill it up. There are people who never regret  things which had made them smile even once in their past.  Some people, on the other hand, lived a certain moment, enjoyed it but later, regret doing it. The variation in people’s insight on things is all about the beauty of life which God has created.

Time and age will never stop for anyone, and then what is the point of regretting for the past? Its good to remember the wrong deeds which one has committed in the past but killing the present for the past makes things even worse. Respect yourself and love yourself for what you are and then life would seem interesting and beautiful with many undiscovered ways waiting to get unfolded by you.

Morning Walk

“When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the creator”  – Mahatma Gandhi.

You do not need to travel to Kerala or Kashmir to enjoy the beauty of nature. People tend to believe that nature’s beauty can be perfectly seen and felt only in these special places and they forget to observe the beauty of nature around them. And sadly I was one of them.

Recently I happened to go for a morning walk in the park opposite to my apartment. I realised many people go for a morning walk in the same park everyday at the same time. I wondered how they could do that for years without getting bored? I found my answers eventually. The next day, again, I went for a morning walk and noticed that majority of the people there, were old but they could walk faster than me. The thought of it made me eager to know how it works. I could feel the difference in me by each passing day. 30 minutes everyday, I started spending  time with myself, feeling the touch of the air around me, the grass under me, the silence around me. The people around me made me forget all the worries in my life. I started connecting myself with this place which I hated for years. This actually works and I am not kidding!

People get busier when the day starts progressing and the only simple way to get stress-free life is by enjoying the first few hours everyday with nature. Many of us try to stay awake the whole night and never get to see the daylight. Night has its own darker silence but experiencing the same silence in the light, is a beauty in itself.

Half an hour walk everyday with music in your ears gives a carefree start to the day. It gives you a positive approach to control your activities by yourself and not let time control your activities.

Gift - A token of Love

Whether it’s a birthday or a normal day, receiving as well as giving gifts is always a delight. In the last few days I happened to gift and receive a gift from my special ones. So I choose to write about the feelings we undergo when we hand over and are on the receiving end of love!

A month spent to design the way to deliver my love

 It was a friend's birthday and I started planning the gift a month in advance. She lives thousands of kilometers away but that did not deter me from wanting to make her day a special one. I sent her a customized gift that she could relate to. Each part of the gift was analysed, examined and changed after consulting many people for their opinion. I also infused the gift with little parts of me hoping that those parts would bring a smile to her face. I crossed my fingers and dispatched it for delivery.

'Gifts are an effort to remind people of the kind of bond we share with them. The happiness we get from hearing the other person's reaction on receiving it makes it worthwhile. Everybody should find time from their busy life to schedule a gift as a token of remembrance.'

When I was on the receiving end of the love

I dedicate this small piece of my writing to my love who
gifted me words that I can flourish forever.

Two days ago while I was still asleep on my bed, a constant ringing of the doorbell woke me up. With an increased temper I decided to blow off the person who disturbed my lazy morning. It was The DTDC courier guy carrying a big envelop from a close friend. At once my anger melted into excitement. I quickly signed and took the packet and hurried off into my room to open it. It was a handmade card and a neat tiny immature handwriting on it which had a cute message. Inside it was a long letter which gave me goosebumps as I read each line of it.

'Even small gifts have an everlasting effect on one’s heart. Lot of time has been spent by the other person to make it more expressive and thoughtful. It is equally important for the person on the receiving end to express their gratitude once they receive it otherwise the whole meaning of the gift would be lost.'

What makes you who you are?

Few people succeed in life while few do not. Life gives same opportunities to all of us. A few see them as opportunities while others do not understand the value behind them. Some people make news even with their most mundane acts while others have to struggle hard before they finally rise to prominence. There is a challenge in everybody's life.

 Most of us think 'Ranbir is a big star because he hails from The Kapoors family'. But would you not agree that even he had to work hard in order to satisfy the expectations of all  in order to become a Rockstar? At the same time we have people like Aishwarya Rai who come from a middle class family but still could become 'The Queen of Bollywood'. These are few examples of differences which exist between people at the beginning but both of them could reach the same point of success with their own individual effort without any backing. Everybody needs encouragement but we should be watchful so as to not let early success dissipate into complacence. Usage of right suggestion at the right time makes you different from others. 

Each one of us is the protagonists of our own life. We need to decide what success means to us. From winning a person's heart to becoming a business tycoon are a few of the success stories that we can choose to pursue. Success does not mean becoming a celebrity to the world but it means becoming a person who can inspire at least some people in the right way. 

Keep inspiring and get inspired!!
