Happiness

Disclosure: This post is plain, straight-forward( that's right, no laces) and every bit about me. There comes a drastic change in your mind and life when you focus only on happiness. Simple thing. You remain happy. And if you are a normal person then at the end of the day ,your ultimate goal in life, whether short term or long term, is to be happy. When you start seeing only the positive, you find yourself spreading laughter everywhere, sending love to one and all and thereby living better. You realize that you have finally come out of the drama queen phase( how much ever you loved being one) and find your mind weighing a lot less than before. You hate something/someone? You find yourself not bothering too much about it and letting it be. You are hurt? You find yourself forgiving easily. You are in a mess? You find yourself working out a solution for it. You love something/someone? You find yourself being extremely grateful for it/them. All in all, you see that every se...

the WHAT,WHY & HOW'S of life ...

Have you ever tried this ??    If not then I want you to do it now ... the only side effect is maybe you would have ended up spending few minutes on yourself ........... This may be crazy but I am just going to write numerous WHAT , WHY and HOW's down here and I want you to try the corollary , try to find a question for each of them instead of answers for a question .... It may start with real silly questions like - WHAT did I eat just now ? , WHY did I wake up so early today even though I knew its a Sunday ?! , HOW come there are no good TV shows today ??... As you frame a question inside your mind you realize that the mind itself has another mind which automatically generates answers to it too !! And within few questions you find yourself turning philosophical and seeing the world through a whole new different perspective !! WHAT if the earth stopped rotating all of a sudden ?? WHY did I give up my dreams and hope so easily ?? HOW is it that yo...

that window seat ...

Window seats ! My childhood was spent on fighting for window seats from my brother,cousins, friends and anybody else who came in between me and the window seat . It was a mysterious kind of lust that I had for it which slowly turned to love ... a downside-up change in the feeling-process I would say ... Somehow whenever I sat by the window I could clearly see the bigger picture - outside the window as well as inside my mind . It showed me how my views framed a perspective for a given situation and how sometimes I had to peep out of it to get my answers . When sometimes I was too burdened and repeated talks of it from people nearby only added on to it ,the window seat took my hand and showed me the outside world ... It showed me greater sufferings and at that point I had attained my momentary nirvana .... From how I see it , the window seat is only too fair , for some days it allows dust to form a daze around you and then one day it just allows the rain drops on your face to clear it...

A shadow of Gulls

" Death must be so beautiful.To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head and listen to silence . To have no yesterday and no tomorrow. To forget time, forgive life, to be at peace ". This was told by Oscar Wilde and when I had first read it ,I almost fantasized with death! I felt even death can be synonymous with peace and beauty. But .............................................. ............................................................................................................ My last few moments was no where the way I hoped it would be or any close to what I had read , for firstly, death did not choose me ..... it was forced upon me. I was killed. After the last jab into my heart and a skull ripping blow on my head I lay there counting time  left to live and not forgetting it . I wasn't lying in the soft brown earth but in a pool of my own blood and above me there wasn't any grass waving but the evi...
