Experiencing matters!



We all have days when we feel lost, days when we feel like we can conquer the world. Often I am unable to be clear because I am too impatient with the thoughts running through my head I don’t let them run their course. later on I am gasping at the threads trying to make sense of it all when actually I never let them come together completely in the first place. 

How many times are we actually able to sit through things without interruption? Why this hurry? What are we trying to accomplish? Why do we start counting days when the holidays just start? Why not step back and enjoy the moment as it is? I don’t see kids playing in an empty ground any more. Babies first learn operating the Ipad first. Alphabets can wait. Expression is secondary. Technology comes first. Restless ness is the by-product of technology. a restless mind leads to lesser and lesser peace. 

I cannot hear the birds in the morning. Only the sounds of horns and generators and motors fill the air. Far too much time is lost in acquiring and lesser time gets invested in experiencing. while we are human and in this earth, lets experience for a change and stop running behind things to be achieved and acquired. 

Experiences lead to memories and happy memories are what we will carry in our hearts for the times that come.

Perfection



There a million ways to plan and strategize about what we want and how we are going to get it, but what actually happens is far beyond anyone’s control. It is a subtle but relentless mechanism called nature and life is all about going with it. Lesser the struggle, more the gains. When I say gains, do not picture wealth. What you gain here is peace of mind. Peace is gained when you do not anticipate, expect or wish. It is a state where everything is as it should be. Why not then treat this life like a game we get to play. Give your best throws and wait for the breeze to do the rest. No matter where you land, its beautiful and worth experiencing. Let go of set patterns and ideas about a perfect life. Life is perfect. It is just not what you expected.

Are you escaping from NOW?



It is so easy to get caught in the mundane things of life. Routine is so stable, so comforting. If only we could break out of the shackles of this stability will we find the excitement of the unknown. One can predict what will happen next. Our life is a series of events aligned one after the other strictly following the pattern of everyday routine.

Everything is planned. Salary gets credited. Immediately some of it is planned to be saved. For future. We kill the excitement of tomorrow by planning it today. 

Let go a little.. spend an unplanned day. Breathe deeply and soak in your surroundings.. 
Do not have an agenda for today. Just be.. The magic of living is in the Now.
