A
very happy and prosperous new year to all of you!!
Somewhere
I read today that, "There are days". What does that really mean??? Does
it say that there are days where you are a total loser, and then there are days
where "bang" you are a super dude, where everything is right for you. Or
does it mean that, whatever you work for doesn't matter because there are all
kinds of days. I think what it really wants to say is, that everything is
relative and you take every day as it comes!! Likewise,
there are days when you feel like writing and sometimes there are days when you
don’t feel like writing and when you scribble something, and today is my one of
those days and the first one in this year.
Few
days back we were having a small discussion among my friends; it just started
with the topic "Why everyone just sees only the beauty and the happiness
within”?? Well though Happiness and beauty
comes in all different forms but are directly related.
Beauty
is all around us. Everywhere we see. It’s omnipresent. The physical, the
spiritual, the metaphysical, it was put in the lands we live in for a reason;
to make us feel a certain way. It’s all about the feelings that are evoked
within us, just as that feeling you get in your stomach at the sight of someone
special in your life or the feeling you get when you are alone, listening to
your favorite song or upon eating your mom's home cooked meal (especially when
you stay away from parents like me). This feeling is none other than the so
called Happiness.
Happiness
is a state of mind that can only be permanent if it comes from within, it
cannot be achieve through external forces. In that case happiness will only be
temporary. It may be extremely helpful to remember that happiness doesn't
depend upon who you are or what you have; it solely depends upon what you
think.
Happiness
can be got from simplest of things and not big gifts and grand gestures. Am
sharing a simple thing to do which I learnt from one of my friend is, start the
day by thinking of all the things you are thankful for. Not only will this give
you a great perspective it will also put a smile on your face. Happy thoughts
and a smile on the face will be your key here.
When
coming to the memories, it can light you up or sometimes kill your mood
completely. How actions, reactions, things, situations all lead to that
incident!! Replaying the past in front
of your eyes like you see in the movies. Sometimes you need to pinch yourself to remind
yourself that what you see now is just a recollection of the past. And how the
past can’t be forgotten yet it can always be lived via your memory.
The
magic of memories is a cinematic experience altogether, as you can relive the
moment from the past in just span of few minutes. So the next time you have
time take a journey through your past memories as sometimes, these very
memories that will bring a big smile to your face.
This
end result is beautiful to look at but what is more remarkable is the journey
towards this miracle of life. Someone wise once said that "everything is a
miracle". I believe in it a 100%.
