This is me, then!

There's a common notion that love is pain, that joy is inevitably followed by sorrow, that life is a vicious cycle and that everything is an illusion.

These notions are bullshit! You are alive, full of life, blessed with health and an ability to create your own happiness. Harness that power. Utilize it to the max! You are meant to be happy, so be! Smile :-) 

The delete undelete dilemma

It's been quite sometime since I blogged.And all because someone told me that I become very transparent in my blogs.That one can easily see through me.It was quite an unsettling thought
It made me pretty uncomfortable.I stopped writing.I started introspecting every move of mine.
In the process,I stopped being myself.

I do realize this blog seems like my online diary.And yes,it will be like that coz everytime I write,I put a part of myself into it.With good reason too.I don't write things I dont feel or believe in.Writing is my only passion.Sure,I guess some things are private and should be kept off the cyberspace.

But there is nothing in this blog that I am even remotely ashamed of.So why should I be thinking twice about owning up to my thoughts and feelings.Wouldn't that make me a hypocrite?

There are times when I did consider deleting this blog.But I never could. I cherish this part of me.(And believe me there are not too many things in life that I do cherish).I love writing.I love putting my thoughts out for everyone to see(Egoistic me!!:) Obnoxious?Hell yeah!!

Besides,this is MY blog.Visitors are welcome.Only,they get to read MY thoughts.So enter at your own risk!!

Why?

For some time now,
I have nursed a dream,
And now that it is achievable,
Why do I miss the obstacles that were?
Is it too easy?
Is it worth the struggle?
Is it just another distraction?

Am I shouting?

It started off as a childish act,
what would later become a hard fact,
"Don't climb trees!Behave around boys!!",
So I climbed the highest tree after stealing their toys!

My childish prank they did forgive,
But not the rules about how I should live,
Was it my narrow-minded world views?
What others accepted as norm,to me was news.

In my own way,I put up a fight,
For what I believed in,and thought my right;
I recoiled in shock and disgrace,
when I was told I'm wrong,to my face!

It took me a while to realize,
That it was a mindset that cut me to size.
It would take another to recognize,
The world is sustained on a web of lies.

So here I stand,raising my voice,
When all complain about the needless noise.
All these farcical rules,I am flouting,
To make my point,Am I shouting?

It's wierd how life is the greatest leveller.You think you are in charge,and then..Voila! Life happens!
The funny thing about life is, we can only understand and appreciate it in retrospective.
While it's happening right before us, we are in a complete state of disarray! Foiled plans, shattered dreams,
broken hearts and all that jazz.

But it's only in retrospective that we realize, how it was the best thing that could have happened to us.
How some plans would have been suicidal.How some jerks would have ruined our lives.How some failures taught us more than had it been a success in the first place.

Yes, we all have regrets, about what should have or could have been...but instead of lamenting over that something we have no control over, if we are willing to acknowledge and appreciate what we have today, the world would be a much better place....

For at the end of the day..what are we? Anything that we conceive and perceive..that we become..that we acheive..Tat tvam asi

Forgive to Forget

I've been holding in a lot of bitterness for a while now. I've finally released it today.Man!It feels great!!
It's like a great load is off my chest.And I can smile again.The smile that could light up my eyes and a several thousand lives :)

It's true.Unless you forgive, you can't forget.And in order to forget,you must be willing to forgive.So, I forgive you, for all the wrongs done.I forgive myself,for being so bitter so long.I forgive the world, that failed to understand me through it all.

I am free of all bondages.I am free to start my life again. To smile without guile and to be happy because I actually feel it.

There!I'm done fretting.I've arrived in the today!!

Musings

It’s been a while,

Since a smile,

Adorned my face,

In all it’s grace,

For all the tears,

Through the years,

That I had cried,

And then they dried,

And now you’re here,

I peek through despite my fear,

Is this light I see?

Are we meant to be??
