Travel on the Road

I prefer traveling on the road, then any other kind of travel. Not by rail and not by flights. Given an option, I will always take a bus or a car. I guess when I look outside the window, with the world zipping by me, with me sitting away from all this , unaffected.

It gives me a moment. To step aside, for a moment, take some time, away from whats going on, and reflect upon, whats going on, where its going and where it is taking me along with it.

Its just a time to introspect, to look upon, to understand.


I have always had, immense faith, in life. At times it gets hard, to understand what went wrong. But I guess, I happen to take it all with the stride. It all requires a little time. Thats All !!!

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say its alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight Im finding it hard to be your man

Hey
More than angry words I hate this silence
Its getting so loud
Well I want to scream
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
Its getting hard to breathe
So tell me isnt happiness
Worth more than a gold diamond ring
Im willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
Ive never been the praying kind
But lately Ive been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say its alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight Im finding it hard to be your man

PS : Just that, one of my friends, made me realise, that I happen to leave a lot on TIME !!!

The Festival of Colors --> Life !!!

Its Holi soon, the festival of colors and
God must be a Painter, why else he would have so many colors in life !!
( A Beautiful Mind )

So enjoy every color in the spectrum, and choose your favorite color to wear. The Rainbow is an interesting thing, it is not tangiable, but we all can see it. It shows all the colors in the spectrum, so that you can choose yours and also it allows you to find out the reason behind the choice.

Don't let the pollution spoil your rainbow, so that your rainbow is only a few colors, because pollution makes things grow black and gray. And certainly you don't want your rainbow to show you shades of gray!!

Well life is about doing many things, and doing things which you like, because its too short to do things which you don't like (duh!! everyone knows that ).
But it doesn't mean that you decide things you don't like, without giving it a fair chance. Life is not about being happy, its about not having any regrets. Happiness and Sorrow are all part of life which make it so wonderful. Infact, you need sorrow in life to appreciate how valuable happiness is.

So wish you a very bright, colorful and joyous Holi, and that you celebrate Holi, in your own special way each day !!

Wishes for the Festival of Holi to You and Your Family !!

And yes I hope you Dance !!

Dreams

It is said, in Dreams, all your senses are ...to some extend....active except the sense of smell. I agree with that. Of all my Dreams I remember, there is not a single one in which I remember smelling something. I remember seeing, feeling the temperatures, hearing, tasting but I don't remember any smell.

For past some time, I have tried to work on my senses, when ever I remember to and also have the time for. I say it is an easy way re-living those cherished moments which happen to stay with time. Though blurriness increases with time, I have been able to trace back to many years back. To do all this, I have always started with something I like and trying to feel the texture, the taste, the smell. Though interestingly I haven't been able to smell, for the last couple of times
I have tried.

Interestingly, I think, am I living a Dream for all these times ??

I was angry that
No one told me that Life will be difficult...
until I realized
No one told me it would be easy ...

Its just what I have chosen it to be !!

... so let go...

The fear. We all have different types of fears. But all the fears converge, in a way, to a one particular kind of fear. the Fear of Loosing. It is an emotion, which we all experience, for certain kind of things. A scenario where we may loose what we have. Those anxious moments before exams or sports, they are the fear of failure, the fear of loosing out your prestige in front of others and more importantly the fear of loosing out your prestige in front of yourself. The fear of height or water or other kinds of phobias, they are the fearing of lossing your self to death.

Whenever we are in a state when we are not able to imagine how things will next be, we are in a state of fear. This hinders us from taking the next step, because you will invariably think, 'What if I don't make it??'. The element of risk. No wonder why they say, 'The greater the risk, the higher the returns'. Its not the returns we are thrilled about it is the journey towards those results, which makes us thrilled. That every moment, before you reached there, when you thought, 'Ohl, only if this happens'. The joy is not in achieving what you wanted but the joy is in understanding that you have worked your way despite of all the odds and have been successful. There are those, but certainly in very less numbers, who just try and inspite of there failures still smile.But I am not talking about them.

But an altogether different things come into picture, when you bring some of your traits and mix them up with your fears. I think thats when most of us make mistakes, stupid mistakes. Its not wrong to make mistakes, but its wrong, when you repeat them. There are some mistakes, which are irreversible, and then there are some whose are reversible. It is commonly said, 'To Break is easy, but to fix what is broken is equally difficult if possible at all'. Some us do not venture out to
mend what they have broken. Mostly I believe for the simple reason that admitting that have you have made a mistake is difficult. All kinds of excuses are given, especially, the name of misunderstanding. The motive is often discussed. The motive when action was being done, and the motive when apologizing. But whatever kind of excuses or reasons you may give, it does not change that something wrong was done. Admitting it and maybe mending the consequences can altogether help in a different way. In a way, to understand that, it doesnt change what you actually are. It may change the other peoples' perspective, but if the perspective can be changed that easily, it can be changed, again so easily, with a admission to fault. We just have to understand that, it is not important. We just need to let go

so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it's so amazing here
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

PS : I have told these are random thoughts, so don't complain, if it is
not streamlined or if it is not in sync or if there is jumping of thoughts in between. Don't complain if it doesn't make sense, because it makes sense to me !! So Let Go !!
