I'd received this message from a lotta people recently..it goes like:
"We die to finish school..Die to start college...Die to start working....Then die to marry..then die to retire,,,and finally while dying we realise that we forgot to something...Forgot to LIVE".
Awesome quote i must say...Doesn't each one of us kinda do that..True True True...N yea this kinda looks like a sequel to the earlier blog change-the only constant ..but it isn't..its on different lines!!..lol
Who wouldn't want to live a life that other people look and say.."Oh whatta life!!!"...envy u, take tips from u,ask u"how do u manage this happy life"....but no one does ask us..coz we aren't living a life people would envy.
But then how does one live that sorta life..Theoretically very simple:
Do what you wish to,Dont care about what people say or think about you..etc,etc.
But practically these things are not really possible..c'mon how can one do things one wishes to all the time..how can one not care what people think about them...accept it..we ain't no Gods.
But there has to be a way to it..and an easy one..After all what happened to all those phrases that we are the own Michelangelo's of our life canvas...life is what you make it to be,,and so on..
So lets think what to do we really want in life..Love,success...or rather something more less complex..simply something that makes us happy..something that keeps us chirpy..a never dying zing in us that goes on and on..a happy aura that never fades,,even if there are moments of sadness,,there be thing that makes sure its short-lasting..
And honestly all this can be cooked with a simple recipe,,which if stuck to.. can somewhere create the life we always wish for..(at least i think so)
1.Laugh as often as you can-
It is infectious to yourself and others..not only will you start measuring things less strictly as you used to and others too will laugh along..and who does not remember those times forever when you laughed at the most inappropriate time..when you wish you hadn't had a mouth..which would showcase the fun you are having..lol
2.Try to do things u truly love.
This is simple..it can be listening to songs you like, watch movies you like,meet people who make you happy,go to places on a holiday you love to, eat stuff you normally avoid(obviously do this less often..else you'll end up with a looong phase of sadness when you have shed all the weight you put on due to this happy activity:) )
3.Always remember some person you know, loves you more than you think..
Now this is cent per cent true,,we give ourselves far less credit than what we think we are..and always incase of every1 there are people who love you more than you think..it its not romantic love I'm talking of..its not LOVE as we know it.,,its care(read love) that it is in simpler words.
4.Be weird whenever you have the chance to.
Do things you'd normally expect from yourself..It'll obviously give you a high..and others might sigh..and you might even hurt yourself probably in the process..but he who has had no pain has had no gain.
5.Celebrate the smallest things in life..(even if u get a lecture off!!)..awesomely therapeutic!!
6.Hold on to good friends..they are few..
This is not easy as it sounds..coz life makes sure people move away physically and emotionally..but try to hold on..there is nothing better than telling new stories to a old friend and realising somethings in life never change!!
But u know honestly all this is something i myself don't do..I don't know if any1 else will benefit from this or even care to read this..( I secretly wish a lotta people do though...it'll make me HAPPY and that's what this blog is all about...but shsssshh!!! its a secret).
But honestly I'm doing this for myself..so that i go through this..remember that at one point I'd come up with this instant recipe to have a wonderful life..and think hell "doosro ko philosophy mat jhaadd...khud bhi kuch seekh")..

Change--The only constant
Nothing is permanent,nothing is constant..I've heard this phrase time and again and after pondering over it..i kinda realised it makes sense..a hell lotta sense,,
As humans we enjoy both change and consistency..But in both cases we have a major conditions apply# and i.e if there is a change..it should be better than the existing condition...and if there is consistency,,then it should be because any change cannot be better than that condition,,
But in 99% cases we do hope for changes..probably because we live on the theory of hope..the cliche that grass is always greener on the other side. However when things do change, we realise that what we had wished for,hoped for, doesnt necessarily make us happier or contented. Infact, many a times change also lets us go of the warm,cozy atmosphere that we create around us during the constant period.
I'd always myself wanted a good mix of change and consistency in my life. I'd always hoped that the good things in my life would never change and that would include the people i love,the reasons people love me. These being the prime aspects as i've always been a person who defines life through the people i've been with.Nothing supersedes the importance of people close to me.
But everything does change,it is mandatory,change is in every sense of the word 'ineveitable'.
People who at one point are everything to you, cease to even exist for you after a certain time period.Relationships, rapports,comfort levels and everything..change all the time.
But i guess it does not mean you do not invest any effort in nurturing them just because they will change soon. Many a times i do feel cheated, cheated because i felt i gave more into something, expecting that things haven't changed, that i will still get the same in return what i'd always been getting, and when i don't, i get disappointed. But then i realise i did give into it because i wanted to, at that time, without the guarantee that it will always respont the way i wish to.
But ok,,its also fun..else life would be very very boring.Imagine everything to be the same forever.....any fun??,,,na!! No thrill, no excitment, no anxiety, no disappointments,no achievements..Ah no fun,,
SO yes i love change,,change is good(ok i did pick it up from the tagline of videocon!;) )..and if u really have no business in life you can count the number of times i've used the word change in this blog..and tell me..cause im really busy..changing!!;)
