Magic in 12.12.12

Tweet

If you are feeling like doing something good, special or different today because it is 12/12/12, is it just because of a date that strikes a chord within you? If yes, you probably need to sit down, clear the clouded vision towards life and realize that something is going wrong in each day; or rather, each day is wrongly going somewhere.

12/12/12 brings nothing more or special than the power and beauty of each ‘New Day’ that we so carelessly overlook, each morning as we wake up. Just like every other day, sun rose from the same end of earth; with same warmth and shine, flowers waking up to the first ray of light, the bee buzz, the gentle, chill breeze, toddlers shouting, kids running to school, each of us finding ourselves amidst the loved ones we slept amongst the last night, and everything else – all is the same today, but just because we feel like labeling it as a special day, it feels different! Why not each day be just the same way then? Why this special treatment to 12/12/12? Isn’t that unfair to the remaining 364 days – just as beautiful as today? Why do we always have to be unfair to things we don’t like or just cannot realize are making a noticeable difference to us?

If you woke up to this morning, be thankful. For that’s the beauty of today. You!

This is the day, the moment that you know you have for sure. You have been given this one more wonderful day, full of moments that are as short as that by the time you read this, you realize that you already have lost a few of them. :)

You have been given this one more day – to wake up, to smell the morning breeze, to see the rising sun, to feel the dawny chill, to hear sounds that your chores make, to be able to do things you wish to; on your own, to follow your heart, to chase your dreams, tell people you love them, sharing lunches, cracking jokes at friends, eating most delectable food, listening to music, calling or texting people who are far away, tell someone you are missing them, wishing someone happy birthday or anniversary, writing your heart out, crying, confessing, repenting and moving on, clicking pictures, making a painting, cuddling with your loved ones, patting your pets, venting your anger, repairing your soul, healing your wounds, forgiving others, moving over your hurt, to tell the world, you are alive and you are going to make the most out of this one more opportunity!

Life is today! It is in this very moment! Seize it, live it!

12/12/12 is just an excuse. Much like a weary routinish wandered looking forward to his next vacations for a change!

Of Hurt. And Love!

Tweet

Hurt is love. Probably the harsher part of it, but definitely it is. For how many times have you loved a person (or a thing) and not got hurt. Never, I suppose. No, I'm not justifying the reason of it; just its existence.

Love never comes alone. A myriad of feelings, emotions, feelings are the uninvited guests. Like them or not, but you always gotta entertain them - just like a bunch of relatives you really wish not to entertain and encounter when at home. There's no escape to them though!

Love brings attachment. Attachment brings along expectations. Expectations are sure to dash, sooner or later. Very much like the castle of cards that you so lovingly and diligently made up. We need to understand that we got to love people. But more importantly we need to be aware that all those people, now matter how much you love them and how much they love you back, are bound to err and hurt you; for they are humans and to err is them. We too, being human, hurt them but naturally and that's completely unavoidable (unfortunately we have made it completely unacceptable too). And we still want to love and be loved!

What point do I'm trying to make here?
Just that we need to understand (and accept) that everyone is going to hurt you. EVERYONE, I mean. It's for us to decide what's more important and carries more value to us - the love or the hurt. The decision of holding on and letting go lies somewhere there, very finely indeed.

One last thing.... Stronger the hurt, stronger has been your love!
Stay human, stay erring, stay loving.

A promise

A promise is a part of self kept with someone, uncollected till it is met.

...Back to random thoughts

Tweet

I have no clue where to start from... may be because I've no idea where I left..

Year and a half has passed by since the time I'd been here.. Literally, had to search for the password to get back (Thank god my random thoughts were kept safe by Google!)

Year and a half! 

Dozens of things have changed. Few of them so much, I don't even remember the way they looked the last time I looked upon them. Surprisingly, one of the thing I have today to peek-a-boo to the things as they stood earlier is my this very blog as it stood the way i left it.. It holds the only key for me to get into the past and have a look, how wise (or fool) I was then. What were the times then, the thoughts, the moments, or anything..  each of them triggered a thought, a feeling or a notion, that happily made its way to this potpourri of random thoughts.. (I'm happy that i ever used to store, and often got to visit them, though accidentally)..

I'm unsure whether any thought, sight or feeling, that had really caught my wise would have stuck me in these times that have passed without making a mark over here, or may be, it was just a writer's block! I'm unsure of the fact too how far or how long I will be mark a presence here, though I've returned here...

Lots of things have progressed, quite a few are back to square one.. Present is a li'l unpleasant (I would rather not use 'Hard' or 'Tough' because that is what is life is supposed to be and I have no complaints) and is still to be taken care of. I'm unsure as to what invited me back to these random thoughts.. the past that went unnoticed in some dimensions, the present that stirs a mix of feelings, emotions and thoughts (both, good and bad), or the future that I'm not really sure about or see it hazy..

Am I back to random thoughts, or is it just a excused event..? I'll again leave it in the hands of time to discover and answer...

Awaited.

Well, Timed!

Time to eat, time to meet, time to sleep, time to wake up, time to have fun, time to work, time to play pranks, time to be frank, time to befriend, time to be with friends, time to disturb them, time to love, time to express it, time to enjoy, time to be serious, time to speak your heart out, time to hold yourself back, time to wear a smile, time to break into laughter, time to feel bad, time to be sad, time to let the tears roll down, time to be yourself, time to beat around the bush, time, TIme & more TIME...

Time for this, time for that, time to do, what you are not good at!
Time to do what you don't feel, Time not to do what drives your zeal...

There's a TIME for everything & then we say, "Times have changed!". We are no better than the time piece, for just like the hands of it, either we have to reach a destination or we are constantly being pushed by the second's hand. Just like it, we keep moving. We can't, rather, don't move out of our pre-decided ways, just because either the constant fear of messing up the time or defying the rules of world & time, haunt us. We are terrified by what the world will have to say if we follow what we feel. After all, we have people to be pleased!

Why, only just for a TIME, we can't stop thinking about the time & follow what the heart says? Why not, for a while, can we stop following the obvious TIME-TABLE & live life as it comes? Why can't we call and our friends at oddest hours & say them, "I Miss you!"? Why can't we go & freak out whenever we want, why can't we go for drives at night, walks to witness sights at a time you like? WHY? Yes, you may be seen as crazy, weird, at times too but you'll be more of you; a feeling, that can not be bought for all the wealth & the ecstasy that outnumbers all the monetary values. With a few exceptions of professional commitments & personal obligations, the TIME-LESS joys can sprinkle endless drops of happiness & can take you to seemless world of joys. For we are already so messed up with life, we tend to complicate even simplest of the things too. Or rather, if we are already so messed up, do you think that the already complicated things can drive you through the lanes of joys, to the destination of contentment? Certainly not!

Be Timely, not Time Bound!

Don't let time give you the reasons to smile or shower joys on you. Even TIME has to take care of all the beings & just can not keep on pleasing just you. Follow your heart!, for they say "Your heart may be on the left but it's always right!"
