Life changing experience...

A WORD OF CAUTION: Reading the following might change your life in a big way (it did that to me) :

• This one sentence changed my life in a major way :- "Live in the PRESENT"I know it might sound like a cliche to you, but it certainly can change your life to an extent unsurpassed, with the only clause attached that you need to apply it at every moment of your life to experience the bliss.Its very strange how we all either think of the past and crib or think about the future and worry but the irony lies in the fact that in the present moment there is never a thing to crib/worry! So why should you indulge your self into meaningless stress? Why can't all of us enjoy the present moment? Here is a technique that might prove helpful to help your self whenever your mind swings into past or future-Snap your fingers each time you feel your mind is wandering anywhere but the present moment and smile after that to make the most of now! This technique shall be the most effective in giving your life a new meaning..
• The second secret is "Either give it your 100% or don't do it!" why say "i will try" when you know you don't want to do it! Don't make attempts just for the heck of it, take your call and do it only when you are sure you want to give it your 100% because there is no point in fooling around with your own self.
• "Expectations reduce joy".I know everyone would agree to this because we all know we feel bad whenever our expectations are not fulfilled,so why reduce our joy when we have just one lifetime with an average life expectancy of just 70 years with almost all of us sleeping around 35yrs of that age, the remaining is spent either eating, working in closed cubicles or in traffic with just 4/5 years left with us to live..so why waste ??!!

• "With Power comes Responsibility and vice-versa". I heard this dialogue in spiderman I, and ever since it has stayed with me. This sentence is perhaps the best to get ourselves back on track whenever we over-indulge in our ownselves and our vested interests.

Irony called LIFE !!

Its very strange and confusing sometimes, to be sitting with yourself and analyzing your own life. When you recollect all that you have been through , all circumstances that have come your way, all the miles that you have gone by, all the beautiful memories of the past, all the sorrows you managed to overcome, all the moments that you rejoice, all the people whom you cherish, all the fun that you had, all the stress that took a toll on you, all the times wherein you have been loved and pampered...When all of these little moments that you cherished so much suddenly become the past, it seems so unreal..and all you feel like doing then is somehow catching hold of these surreal moments of bliss..so that you can again revisit these memoirs as many times as you want.
Life, this four letter word is in no manner as simple as it seems, for it encompasses gazillions or may be even more vivid moments for us to gather in an entire lifetime.These four little letters encompass our existence on this planet and can be fairly surprising and unpredictable.Nobody can foretell what life might bring next on to our doorsteps, yet we anticipate with vigor and enthusiasm to see the unseen, to believe the unexplainable, to traverse into the unknown and expect the unexpected...here lies the beautiful irony..."we don't know what will happen,yet we expect and believe that the planned shall happen for good".
We meet many fellow travelers on these paths of the maze of life, but our destiny decides for who stays with us for what time interval and who leaves without a word being said.
Thus terming this beautiful labyrinth as 'life' and the answer to this labyrinth as destiny would not be quite wrong,would it?...for if you are destined to solve this puzzle, you are gifted and are destined to do so by all means but the effort remains with the beholder and the minimum we can do is just try, for the hidden path shall open only when the time comes and you need to be striking the right chord then to be able to pass through the hidden doors of the maze, which you shall be able to do only if you keep practicing the right chord, awaiting the right time..leaving the unforeseen to destiny!

Letter to my Father

Dear Father,

As i walk by the beautiful memory lane of innocence, i find myself walking step by step, really slowly on the rough and rugged roads of my life, clasping on to your index finger as tightly as i could, so as to never ever let go of it.
As a child, i felt stranded and doubted my self belief, could never imagine myself to be able to walk a step without you being there to hold on to me but your support constantly reminded me that you have and will always be standing with me in all my ups and downs of life, in every bicycle ride i dreaded riding without the wheel support, in every game or challenge that i lost the way you cheered me over, in every happiness that i wished to share,in every setback in life, in my tryst with destiny,in my negligence with time, in my celebration of life, in my mistakes of all kinds, in every stressful situation i faced, in every path i chose to trace!
You instilled in me the strong belief that,no matter what happens in life, you are always going to be there for me,holding me tight, so that i would never ever fall...!
These silent promises that you made through the golden puerile years of my childhood were fulfilled each time life threw a challenge at me, as i grew up in age and i found myself in dire need of your help and guidance, though i could never muster the guts to ask for your support, your hand on my shoulder in the time of distress would say it all..

You gave my dreams wings, my aspirations the desire, my energies a direction, my toil an adulation, my personality an inspiration, my spirit a liveliness , my mistakes an absolution and me an identity !
It is because of you that the difficult ways of life never seemed as arduous as they were, every impediment never seemed as impossible to surmount as it was, every journey did not seem as boundless as it was, every hardship did not seem as insurmountable as it was and every accomplishment did not seem as small it was.
Your being extremely protective and concerned with my well being all the time said volumes about how much you treasure me and made me the happiest daughter in the world.
Your presence has always endowed upon me the blessings of thyself and the God above..
All i wish is that one day you could be proud of me being your daughter too..!

No matter how well i wish to phrase my feelings into words, words can never express what you mean to me papa...

Loads of Love
Your Darling Daughter

Life's calling....where are you??

Is it really really tough to be who you REALLY are ?
Why are we curtailed by societal pressures to be a part of the masses ?
Why do we heedlessly try and copy our peers and fake our existence to be the likes of the kinds that we originally aren't meant to be ?
Why can't everyone around us accept us the way we originally are ?
What's wrong with being different ?
Why should we be the alter ego's of the ideal ?
Doesn't nature itself want us all to be original ? because that is how she has created us, each one different from the other! Each unique yet so authentic.
Nature silently must conspire us to be who we are, but the question is are we listening to her mild and subtle reminders ?
We all spend 90% of our lives doing what we supposedly "have to do",but is it really what we want? is it really our calling in life or is it just a way of wailing away our time to glory, by being stereotypical as well as orthodox and absolutely hysterical to the ideas of experimenting with your own life !

Why do we fill our lives with so much stress,most of which is absolutely unnecessary, and then curse our destiny later on when things start propelling us to the "less traveled path" of which most of us are extremely anxious about because of the degree of uncertainty/risk the path brings along with it? or is it that perhaps life is supposed to be lived that way and that perhaps is what is destined for us and that is what we are made to really do !?!

What makes us think that the stereotypical ways of living are the ones which must take us the right way? What if an unthinkable and untrodden path takes to a place where you truly belong? Why are we not open to new avenues,new ideas,new challenges?
Why are we so head-strong on reinventing the wheel every time? What stops us from doing what we love? is it fear of self,failure or society?
Why are we oblivious to changes ? Why can't we make and accept changes in and around us?

These questions are the ones that our conscience asks us all the time , but do we really have the time to listen ??
