To all my close friends...

 Though we are not in touch,

just wanna tell you that I still miss you all,

The days spent with you, the mischiefs and the pranks.

I wish we could bring back those days!!!

Wherever we go, we make new friends but some of them get so close that even after years of parting away, we miss them. I dedicate this post to all my school and college friends who were just like a family. Though, we don't talk or meet often but you are still dear to my heart. The years spent with you were the best ones till date !

Once we begin our professional life, it is felt that friendships were selfless and pure only till the college days. The kind of bond we share with our childhood friends is very special and much different from the professional friendships. We can be ourselves without the fear of being judged. No one bosses or tries to be our guide or pathfinder. All of us walk on the same track, living life like a free bird and enjoying each and every moment. We always used to just laugh away at each others faults, play pranks...no serious business, at all !

Life was great and so easy. I never thought that some day we will part away and I will miss you all so much. I always believed that we must live in our present and while taking my journey of life, I never looked back at what I am losing. But today, where I stand, I can see so many acquaintances that I left on my way. I wish i had realized it then. Life has changed a lot now making me a completely different personality from what I was as a young adult. But truly speaking, that only was the 'real me'. I still sometimes try to meet and talk to my real self. How I wish, I could have those friends again to tell me who I was originally.

But the matter of fact is that over the years, they must have also gone through the same life cycle and transitions. Probably, they are also not the same. But still I feel, that if we were together at this stage, at least we would have been the same lively people that we were. 

How to make your relationships strong !!!

 I have always talked about relationships - how important they are for us. They make us feel happy, secure, loved and alive. Man, being socially attached, can not even imagine his life without people around. But the irony is... these relationships make us crazy. Day and night we struggle to maintain them. In order to do this, we keep telling ourselves, the do's and don'ts. Somewhere in our heart and mind, we develop a stress to keep everyone around us happy and satisfied. And over the years, we keep forgetting about us as an individual. A father keeps doing things that make his kids happy. A wife always tries to please her husband. A daughter always wants to be an apple of her parents' eyes. Isn't it? Where do they remember - who they are and what do they want? In making everyone happy, they somewhere, lose their own happiness. When someone questions a mother, what is her favorite dish? She doesn't remember...!!! Though she can very well tell what her family likes to eat. A husband trying to bring harmony between his parents and his wife forgets to remember that he always loved going on family outings.

Why do we make our lives so complicated??? This is the million dollar question ...! 😀😀

You can not make others happy if you yourself aren’t feeling elated. To please someone, you must be pleased by the other person too. Life is like a mirror. You get what you give. A suppressed son can not become a family support ever...that’s true.

So, the key to healthy relationships with others is to be at peace with yourself. To strengthen your bonds with people around you, you have to be yourself first. If you are happy, energetic and positive, these vibrations will surely touch the people you love. Thereby, making your relationships with them even stronger. 

So, keep yourself pampered always. The world looks exactly the way you perceive it !!!

Love Is Eternal...it never ends !!!

If I knew, it's the last time, I can see you

I would have kept you in my eyes forever...

But it's too late...you're out of sight.

If I knew, it's the last time I can hear "I Love You"

I would have told you " I LIVE YOU "

But it's too late to tell you that.

If I knew, it's the last time I can talk to you

I would have opened my heart out 

But it's too late, you're gone

If I knew, it's the last time I can feel you

I would have held you tight in my arms

But it's too late, you're not mine

If ever I could know that it was the last time...

I would have asked the time to stay

But it's too late... !!!

The Only Way to Remove Negativity from Life !!!

 

 

'We are what we think'- That's the power of our thoughts !!

The moment we face any difficulty, our mind gets full of negative ideas and thoughts. These negative thoughts trigger the fear in our minds. A man travelling by public transport will always have a fear of getting his wallet stolen. A mother while seeing off her child will always have a fear of any unforeseen mishap. These inner fears of our minds lead to anxiety and stress. But where do we absorb these negative thoughts from?

For most of us, our day begins with TV, mobiles, newspapers, etc. - all social media platforms ???  We watch and hear everything happening in the world, be it good or bad. Especially, the news and web series that attract us are related to wars, political issues, crime, and all other negative things. Isn't it ? And we keep following them and thinking about them. So, what do you think your thought process would be like ?

Some of our negative thoughts may be the result of our past experiences. But, believe me, life does not always remain same. The things which didn't happen the right way in the past, may not always turn out to be wrong. Have faith !!!

Our mind and our senses are very sensitive and responsive to our surroundings. You won't know when your subconscious mind will absorb that negativity and it will become your lifestyle.

 

 So keep yourself surrounded by good people and good environment.

How many of us start our mornings with positive thoughts? Very few...

The moment we get up, remember God, meditate or just play some bhajans (devotional songs) on the music system and let the positivity dwell in the house and in your mind. If you are not very religious minded then play some peaceful music or motivational talk that can bring good vibes. Wish your family members, share some laughs and happiness with them. and maintain these positive vibrations throughout the day. Don't let the negativity seep in.

Focus on the good things of life and be thankful to God for everything you have. Positivity in life attracts the positive vibrations of the universe towards you. 

Think positive, Stay positive !!!

Negativity can only affect you if you are on the same frequency. VIBRATE HIGHER!!!😉

 

A Desire to Love and to be Loved !!!

 

A desire of my eyes, 

To meet someone's eyes,

Who brings to me a sunshine.

A desire of my hands,

Just to hold someone's hands,

Where my destiny lands.

A desire of my heart,

Just to touch someone's heart,

Who knows that love is art.

It's not a dream as it often breaks,    

Not a sandcastle that a child makes,

It's the desire of a heart that's alone

To devote itself to someone who's unknown.

He'll come one day, I am sure,

As my love for him is really pure. 

The Last Expression...

 

Every being is on his own journey to attain spiritual liberation 'MOKSHA'. Some souls have just begun, others are in the middle of the journey and there are some who are towards the end. To some extent, the vibes that we  receive from people around us depend on the level their souls have reached. During this journey, we find many souls;some we like and some we don't. But all of them touch our lives in some or the other way.

We always want to be surrounded by people we like or love. Though, it is not always possible. Because we don't choose people to stay or leave. The vibrations of our souls does that work for us.

We come across many people in our life, but there are only few with whom we feel connected. And we want them to stay with us forever. Over the time, attachment grows and we are unable to imagine our lives without them. We forget that every soul has his journey and some or the other day, it will move on, leaving us behind. If ever, humans could understand this, the earth would have been a 'Heaven'. But this doesn't happen as we are bound to love and get attached to people. 

Some people move on after making new connections; some leave us to start a new journey; and some attachments get over after losing their meanings. Whatever be the reason, humans are never aware of what's going to happen the very next moment. And, therefore, we can never plan our 'GOODBYES'.

Imagine a situation, where we know that our close acquaintance is going to die the next day. Apart from just being emotional and feeling broken, we can express how much we love them and we care. There are words and feelings unspoken and unexpressed.....we wish we could tell.

In another situation, your love of life abandons you and you are unable to do anything to stop him/her. There were so many things that you wanted to say. You couldn't even tell how incomplete you are without him/her. So many things remain unexpressed and he/she leaves.

It is difficult to let go....but it is all the more difficult when you know someone is about to leave you. The last expressions and words and feelings that you always wanted to share could have stopped them from taking the next move. But, you only wish you could express your sentiments if you'd know this before.

This is only possible if we can keep the pain away which is not possible for us as humans. The pain after knowing that you are losing your loved one soon will never let you open up your heart to them. You will never be able to tell them how much you want them to stay. 

The Last Expressions, therefore, are very different from what we wish to have. So, make your loved ones feel special and important 'Today'. Go and tell them how much you love them. Tell them you can't imagine your life without them and you want to spend every moment with them happily. 

Don't lose any moment of happiness or being with them when they are around !!!

What is in the Name??

 दिल की बातें, दिल ही जाने 

दिल ही समझे, दिल ही माने 

We meet many people in life. Some enter and exit, we don't even realize when they went off. But some people touch our lives in such a way that we never realize how important they become for us. Until the day, they leave us 'cuz no one is here to stay forever. Everyone has his own journey. Is it really important to name or tag every relationship?

Most of the relationships that we have in our life have social acceptance because we can name them. In fact, our society has named them for us. Thanks to all the responsible people!

 But there are some soul connections too. You meet some people and sometimes you feel connected to them. Although you don't know them for long, but there is a feeling of comfort and peace when they are around. You feel that you can be yourself when you are with them. No one can explain the why's and how's of such bonds. But they definitely exist.

I feel that these relationships too have a meaning in our life. These souls are connected since eternity.  They know each other so well. Yes, they are there in our life to learn and teach some lessons...to grow....to evolve. 

And the bonding that these people have can not be named or explained always. It is beyond that Life & Death Chakra. In fact, they themselves don't know the reason why they are together. As humans, shouldn't we learn to understand and accept these relationships? Every human being has a right to live and to decide his own boundaries. Then why people barge in and start pointing out?

These bonds are so pure and selfless - this only can be understood  by the people who have felt this ever in their life. There are no selfish motives, no common goals and no desires to attain. These relationships are made only to fly freely and live fully.

In true sense, they are COMPANIONS (just to name!!!😀😀)

Everyone in this world gets such companions in life but how many of us really could dare to keep them in our life? We immediately start planning to name that relation and you know, it takes away the charm and the purity of this bond. Because with the name....come the responsibilities and expectations, some set social norms. And this takes away the beauty.

Learn to have some free space for yourself...where you can breathe easy!
