The Happy Place ?!!

Some times in life, you want to go to a place, where there is only nature, you and God. No other   thing and no one else around you. I think that can be called the happy place sometimes. I have a vision of my happy place, I think you do too? I love sea side so that always has to be an active component of my happy place vision. I like how the waves make a ripple, and how life seems so big and so small when you stand in front of the open sea. It feels like it calls on you, to me at least it does seem so. This idea scares me and makes me wonder too. We are all born to live and die alone. That is the natural instinct, though to survive we need to make contacts but in essence the soul aches for peace with one's ownself and not with the the whole world. Ever wondered why? I wonder that often and again.

Whiny Me

Its friday, a blessed day as is said in my religion but I don't feel very good today and the bad part is that I know the reason behind it! It is definitely better if you have no clue about things rather than knowing them and not doing anything about them. Probably that is why they say 'Ignorance is a bliss'. Sigh! I know in my heart that I have to do a lot of things to make other things right but I am not doing them. I need the medicine of 'pushing', some thing or some one to just push me into the realm of  'doing things' where I would do what I should be doing without any further delays. Do you know where I can get that medicine?

Anyways I was just thinking few moments back about a negative issue which happened and some how my mind by itself give me an example of a more negative issue which didn't happen. I, who was whining about the happening of former issue started thanking God about the unhappening of the latter one. Funny right? I mean if we actually start acting on that saying 'Count your blessings, not your woes', we can easily rid our over burdened brain from one of the many problematic thoughts it faces and move forward a little more happier but that is if and only if we start acting on the above given saying which is definitely not so easy!

Cherish-able

Last saturday I felt like writing down so much about what I saw but unfortunately I didn't have my blog access at the place where I was and then I got caught up in the entanglements of life and coudn't write for one more day, but the memory of what I saw kept on pushing me to pen it down and feel its beauty again.

So it was a bright morning with a welcoming sun and a few threatening clouds. A cool breeze was blowing which felt to be freshening up my senses. I felt happy just seeing such a bright day. Small deal it may seem, but we really do take some of the huge blessings of God for granted, because if we come to think of it , there are many who cannot open their eyes to the beauty around them. Life is a teacher I think, every moment you learn something yet like a bad student, we tend to forget it the next moment but sometimes the lesson sticks to our mind and can do wonder if we actually take advantage of it.

I walked a few steps further and saw little stalls of vegetables and other eatables stocked down the lane. People from all different walks of life, with all different good and bad things going on in their lives were standing there, buying their needs. I could hear the sweet chirpy laughter of cute kids all around and then as if this was not enough, I felt a drop of water caress my head. Yes, God added to the scene by adding some rythm of rain, in midst of which I could still see the golden Sun. From here, I could also see the artistic stairs to some old building and could hear the buzzing of new inventions like buses/cars in the background adding some reality to reverie I was in.

I wanted to stay in this scene for ever but time was ticking and I had to move forward with the flow of life.

All around me I felt a beautiful and very powerful energy, a memory which I will cherish for times to come. Some times a small thing also makes a big impact on your soul. Some times even words don't do justice to the feeling you had at a particular moment.

I hope that while reading my post , you also have been able to feel the pure magic or even some part of it , which I felt when I viewed the scene beyond me on that sweet saturday morning.

Socializing

I recently discovered a new view on life that seemed to be having quite some insight to it. Some times the best medicine to the intricate problems of our daily routine is just opening the window and letting some crisp fresh air in. By that I don't mean literally opening the window at your home but yes, opening the windows of the soul and mind to the outside world, meeting other people, knowing their experiences, learning good things from them, counting your blessings and letting your woes go. Some times its the imperfections of the world around you that would make you realize that your life being imperfect is totally normal and you need to search for happiness in your own little imperfect world.

Just stop for a moment and think, if our lives woudn't have been imperfect, would we have had time or inclination to remember the perfect God? the answer is most probably a No, so when ever you feel that you can't take the hard bricks life throws at you anymore, just take a deep breath, and open the window ( I am sure this time you know which window I am talking about :) ) .
