The moment of freedom

And there I was driving, while listening to my favorite music, windows pulled down and chasing with the speed of wind. I was smiling and I knew why. I was smiling from free mind. My mind knew no call will ring on my phone until I want somebody to call or give me some update. My mind was not thinking of any responsibility. My mind could dance with excitement to look forward to what I will do with rest of my day. My mind was free from all thoughts. My mind knew it won’t think anything about-professional life or personal life. My mind knew that it won't think of any thought which was injured from bad memory or future planning. My mind was living the free moment it was living in. I wish that the freedom of that moment stays with me all my life. As this is real freedom.

We are not free if every morning,we still eat our breakfast in hurry as we are getting late. We are not free from responsibilities if every day we keep calculating what needs to be planned and what not to be bothered about.  We are not free if even being so tired and when we know that we are so damn tired that we can’t be awake early in the morning but still we are forced to set an alarm in our cell phones to be up on time.

Just think!!

Have a life where we work which expects to be on a time which matches my time, as in, I wake up at my usual time, can eat my breakfast at my own pace and by the time I’m ready, I know it’s the perfect time for me to start the work. My office time matches with my pace.

Is it possible in today’s world? Then how can we say we are free.

I dream to have a freedom to live free. I want to have a life which is full of moments of actual freedom. Where I can smile the real smile, where my mind and heart smiles together....

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.

The genesis of self is reborn

The dawn for rest never arrives,
The dusk for errands never dies,
Timely running time always flies,
Deadly deadlines always shine.

Camera of world refuses to click,
The picture of exactly who you are,
All the angles of lens are adjusted,
Printing a picture that world demands.

Amidst the eclectic ethos,
One can’t adjourned the equanimity,
Bear the weight of heavy doubts,
And find the answers solely.

The genesis of self is re-born,
To steer the quotient of life,
Crawling over a crowed path,
That runs with the ever running time.

you too can do it !!

Feel closed for solutions?
Can't trace any sign of happiness?
Numerous negative notions,
Feel haunted by hopeless aspirations?

What's new when problems knock?
Everyone drives towards the dead end once,
Just pause to ponder over the fact,
That you are not the only one,,

Do your homework,
Work hard madly,
Nothing in this world is for free,
So better earn for your dreams...

Somewhere someone feels the same,
Depressed, demotivated, out of game,
Never give up when they say,
Believe in it without any dismay.

You too can beat the busted self,
You too can hold yourself up,
As somewhere someone must have did it,
Remember, you too can do it,,,

Random Note

NOTE:

Envisage a life where each moment you dwell into is pure, filled with unbeatable desire to do purposeful good deeds where you do work which you want to do and you are not stuck under the pressure of monotonous clock that rings an alarm reminding you of your deadlines. Make yourself procrastinate-free person, sabotage your sickened way of looking things in sad and negative manner, knock out your fears, gear your mind and heart to achieve your dreams.

They say that journey of thousand miles begins with a single step. So what are you waiting for? Take your first step; endow yourself with exuberance and positivity. Whet your appetite with urge to learn more. Don’t sit idle. You got the potential, channelize it.

I agree that at times we do get stuck in our lives and feel completely de-motivated, we find no support and hate that no one is there to hold us in our tough times, well in that situation, hour of need is to keep your faith alive.  Don’t curse or have grudges for your close ones if they can’t be with you in your phase of despair as even you don’t know why they not helping you as often they too stuck and are struggling with their own problems and so they can’t lend their hand of support to you. So the best is to believe in you.

In the end, you are the part of the problem as well the solution. Life is all about facing the both sides of coin,-tough and smooth.

I hope you all achieve good in life and be proud of what you achieve as you are worth it. All the best for the journey of life you walk onto, may all your dreams come true.
