Approaching 30...


                                               


I had heard that girls are delicate in their teens for they are undergoing physical changes and they need to be handled with care… I am sure I must have felt it too in my teens but then I was too naïve to name so many feelings....

Lately, I think post 25 (near 30 is so heart-breaking even to call) they are even more delicate … There are millions of reasons like if they haven’t found their mates forget soul mates. They also undergo hormonal changes and the fairy tales ending have stretched just too far and doesn’t seem coming true. The charm starts loosening up & is definitely less in comparison to fresh faces from college in their early twenties. The fear of not finding the fellow who could cross the benchmarks already set by their own achievements or care scores of past relationships. The loneliness when your friends are celebrating their anniversaries … or birthday of their kids… Well, I can keep counting such things… So let’s move to the other side of the fence…
The separated singles or the unhappy mingles… can’t believe I have seen many of them too & then it’s easy to understand that ‘there is no hunky dory world’ ….

Believe me I am not saying this just to pacify myself but this is how it is... (There are very few who get the best of both worlds and while being single you can at least hope for it ! )
Esp. the ones who had to leave their jobs(girls) and get settled in places with no work to do… all for their dear husbands and despite of that they are not being treated like princesses , the treatment they are used to or dreamed of against the bigger sacrifices they chose... Some have the added misery of not very co-operative “in-laws”…. And yes, some of them see me and alikes as independent women roaming on free will, exploring new places, climbing corporate ladder, pursuing hobbies and wearing contemporary clothes…. well that’s what I want they should see me as :P ( without understanding my share of  misery )!
So the crux of the matter is ‘Life can always get better/worse … If you are not happy with your current circumstances you won’t ever be’!

 Just try to save the receding hairline and then you can proudly say this :D

Spaces

At times we have everything, Yet something keeps missing…! For spaces too hold a place… Spaces… holding memories’ case.. Memories.. which bring smile… Make the case even more fragile..! Dearest ones leave reminiscences.. And intensify the burden of their absence..! Pondering makes the decisions weak, Makes one feel helpless and meek..! True... choices define our lives… Don’t be so greedy.. No one forever survives..! Laugh out loud .. and understand .. Why some smile and some pretend..! Pray for the best but believe more.. Beliefs are magical in healing sores! Have faith on time..It may vacate the space.. If it doesn’t, you are as good as an ace !

It's ....................

It’s beautiful, it’s lovely It knows no fear... It keeps you jolly, Won’t dare to bring a tear… It’s endless, it’s galore                                   So selfless and pure, Content in what seems... Won’t ask for more... It’s magical, it’s blind, Not one is its kind, In abundant shades Its magnificence unwinds... Its innocent, its blessed, No, it isn’t perfect or flawless… Doesn’t always need words, May wait unexpressed!!! It’s me, it’s you, it’s all we hold close It’s ubiquitous, yet can be compressed On a light note ;) By now, have you guessed???? Motivated by:  'Synthetic happiness is as good as real happiness'

Present!!

Today evening, while waiting for my order at the café in office, I realised that I hadn’t turned on the internet on my phone all day. I decided to continue with it and for a change tried to feel what it is to be in the moment completely. Here, to watch the simple process of peeling off and cutting fruits, to be thankful to be able to eat unaware of the pocket but just calories (though it is more difficult for me). ‘In the present’ or ‘in the now’ …a feeling I had been missing since years for either I have been a slave to my past or anxious about the future. A lot of life slips us when we are not where we are but when we are aware everything is a moment worth living for! This sense of awareness dawned onto me as I have health issues that I have been dragging for a year and that can’t be ignored any further. Since a week, I started chewing my food and what a delight it was or better than delight I could term it as wondrous! I missed almost half of my life without relishing each a...
