Only the portrait stays the same.

Who would not want to capture the beauty of the shining sunrise into his camera? The glowing orange ball rising from the zenith while spreading across the light and making a call for the ceasefire of darkness. A perfect moment. Likewise, we all have many sweet moments in our lives. Now imagine, the portrait of that serene picture is being observed by an observer ane believe me, he too will cherish the beauty of it. Likewise, when we as third person see the pictures of the sweet moments of people around us, we too cherish it and if we are not in that picture, we would feel missed out too.

But its just the one side of perception.

After the sunrise comes the sunset. And the position of sun being gulped down by zenith is same as that of rise. And now believe me again, the beauty of picture still holds as good as before. But would our observer will be able to notice the difference(of sunrise or sunset)? Likewise, many moments which we capture in horde are at times fake within. A bunch of friends smiling together, having fun moments being clicked, all this might look nice; and at a certain point all the fellas observing such pictures and who are not part of such groups would feel lonely and sometimes bit jealous too.

But people believe me, do not just go with the portarit. It will say the same expression for all the years down the line. But what actually happnned after that moment was being clicked and what actually it was, is way different than the what picture says.

Sense the true gesture, enjoy and have fun even if its with one person being around. Do not waste your thoughts on what it is being projected to you. Its worth catching up with your one friend and having a cup of tea together than roaming around with bunch of folks who are your so called friends, who just for the heck of roaming aorund, stays beside you to eat, laugh and then go away.

Identify true moments-- value them, prioritize them!

Best Regards. Live life. Keep the faith. Bless you all.

Never Grow Up

Few things get digressed from our mind and soul as we grow up. Questions like- “what would you like to become as you grow old?” stays missing. Why can’t we raise same questions when we reach our thirties or forties? Can’t we ask- “what would you like to become now as you grow more old?”

Look, there is no age to stop dreaming. If at thirty five you realize that all you want to be is a dancer, at least give it a try. Do not just give up thinking that “OMG at this age how am I gonna learn?”  Always give it a try. And please always remember that no matter what age are you living your life at, you are never old to dream.

 

I stood by the mirror,

All I could see was a wrinkled face,

Now baffled mind believed,

That dream was unfeasible to face.

 

Dream to now run with pace,

Dream to earn the crowds cheers,

Dream to hold the glory of trophy,

All this, punched the heart with misery.

 

To live my present desire,

I wish I had hope,

But, alas, all I feel now is,

I had never grown up.

 

so ladies and gentlemen, don’t be a part of lachrymose decisions, have faith, break free you fears and you can be what you want to be!!

Forget about the castles that are already brought down

While reading a chapter, one definitely reaches the last page of the chapter. Like that new chapters begin in the book titled- life. And one day while reading a book one definitely reaches the last page of the book. We got to read, understand, and above all, accept all the chapters and keep flipping the pages till we reach the end.

And then after completing reading the book, all one comes across is a single thought, a thought which concludes the book. Make sure you read the book of your life in a way that when you reach the end, you have power, wisdom, and strength to conclude it without any doubts.

You are the traveller of your life and the fact is that happiness is never on when you reach the destination but how did one accept each corner of the path he/she has travelled so far. The journey is the truth.

Accept the present. Future no matter will definitely come. How? Even you don’t know. That’s the power of unknown which adds the surprise to your life and make it colourful, add various flavours of memory/moments.

You die only when it’s the date you stop breathing; don’t die before that where you stop feeling the present. Stay alive in the moment as that’s the truth of now; and we live now. Now, when you all are reading this post, right now when you can just feel that you breathing, right now when you can hear the sound of the fan rolling up in the roof or you can listen to the buzzing horn of the car passing nearby or right now when you are listening to music playing in your pc or when right now you are living in an emotion you just encountered but all you doing is running away and not ready to accept the now- the present. Don't let your future let you sweep away you present.

Endless unsaid words my heart says,

But I hear what my mind speaks,

Unknowingly I crush the present,

And think that my future stays.

You belong to a part of present but not of the past. Forget about the castles that are already brought down.
