Alvidaaa...! U Stay In My Heart!

True that change is the only thing permanent, and one who stays stagnant loses out on the race of life... so, alike everyone else, I too have to go on, rather than rueing the past. But the important thing for all of us is- when you leave behind the past, leave it with a smile on the face. And that is possible only if we carry the happy memories, the sweet moments that made our life so much worth living for. And discard the painful ones, the sad and sorrowful experiences from our memory; just as we remember a person for his virtues rather than his vices...

I, personally, am so glad to have had such a beautiful life till now, with so many lovely people, that I have absolutely no regrets about things that could have been different or better. My heartful thanks to everyone who has been with me in this vista of Earth, I’m glad I got to know U all n live the moments in elan... And however much I may change, I can never forget about those who are dear to me...

My blog has been a wonderful way to express myself, and I hope to continue it as and when situation is conducive. But as I jump into the unknown, I don’t know what lies ahead... But I am sure my friend and well wishers’ blessings will carry me through the worst...

Adieu!

A New Life Beckons!

Life is a journey as they say... Meets n partings, arrivals n departures are all its integral parts... But then, what is this called- leaving the place where your entire life has been, unsure of when next you’ll be coming back and for how long? As I leave for a wholly new venture to join IIT Bombay, one is forced to ponder over the aspect- what it actually means to miss people, places and events; how helpless one feels when unable to return back to those stands left behind in the memory lane...

It is very well said, that we may get to like new places, enjoy experiences we’ve always dreamt of, and start to love new and special people, as we move along the path of life. But however much our life may change, nothing can take the place of the things that we miss. The scars of old wounds on the body and mind, stay forever, the voids left in the heart, of people who had once been so special, can never be filled by any other...

Stay OPEN To LOVE!

Just as I previously mentioned, it would be utter foolishness on anyone’s part to try and define what is love...  But what I’ve learnt is that it manifests itself in small things and the most insignificant of our actions. Hence it is necessary to always keep love in our mind irrespective of whether we gain the expected benefits or not...

Picking up the phone and telling the affectionate words, the sincere apologies, the gratitude that we have been postponing since some time. Opening the door to someone who seeks our help. Pondering and taking a long due decision. Asking forgiveness for a mistake we have made, burying the personal ego. Demanding what we rightfully deserve. Gifting a dear one, a fresh flower of our choice, rather than a jewellery. Playing music loud when the person u love is far away, but playing it low when he/she is nearby. Discovering jobs or sports that can be done by two. Finding out ur comfort zone with ur partner. Not following any recipe, not even the ones contained in this paragraph, because love seeks creativity...

When nothing else is possible, when all that remains is loneliness all around n despair, then remember this simple childish story-

A rose dreamt day and night about bees but no bees landed on her soft petals. However, the flower continued to dream, often into long nights - of dozens of bees descending on her n kissing her lightly. By doing so, she was able to last till the next day to open its petals to the new sun. One day the moon, aware of her loneliness, asked her,

“Aren’t U tired of waiting?”

“Possibly,  but I can’t stop trying.”

“Why?”

“Because it I don’t smile to the world, if I chose to suffer within, if I don’t remain open, I will simply fade away.”

At times when loneliness seems to crush all beauty and hope, the only way to resist is to stay open to love and all humanity and stay true to our heart...

P.S.-Sorry 4 being away 4 so long!
