Jab we met..My philosophy on life

Image
I have watched this movie over and over again.Loved everything right from dialoges to scenes ,from music to the actors and the costumes.I think everyone would agree with me that there is a lot of positivity about this movie.I liked Kareena's character which is very vibrant and vivacious and which teaches us many things 1)Do things that make you happy. Aditya has a passion for singing and music but he doesnt bcos he thinks its waste of time.Keep time aside everyday for what you love to do.Be it 5-10 mins.If you like music enjoy it.If you like to read ,pick up a book and read it for 5 mins before you go to bed.If you like to dance,just do it.If you like to cook,make a dish.Find time for it.Remember happiness is all about picking up time to do what you love 2)Fall in love deeply,madly..dont think of being hurt..just follow your heart: Geet enjoys every moment  of her life in love with Anshuman.She doesnt think of the consequences if he rejects her.Its not always necessery that o

Love isn't a decision, it's a feeling

Neha was waiting for Varun at Mumbai international Airport.No he wasn't coming back.He was going to USA  forever.He was working with a huge software firm in California and now had a house too.Neha saw him get off his car.The same guy who always made her smile.Who did her homework in school.Who helped her shop for birthday.The same guy who gave her advice even when she did not need.He looked nice in his white tshirt and jeans.He looked smarter with the jacket on.He wasnt alone today .Arundhati was with him.It was her first time to USA ,first time abroad rather.She had to leave everything back home post her marriage to Varun. "Hey Neha..there you are" Varun smiled and told her and gave Neha a hug.He could smell her freshly shampooed hair.Her pale complexion looked even nicer without the hint of makeup.Her eyes almost twinkled on seeing him but held so many questions Neha knew she wouldnt meet him for for a long time now.Twenty four years of being friends would mean now

Our Life is all about the Choices we make

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."Albus Dumbeldore made this statement in Harry Potter when he was sorted in Gryffindor. I always wondered whether is life all about chances or choices. Although destiny is something which binds us we always have a choice.Destiny always gives us a chance to make choices.We have to make a right one.Well to be more precise a choice that we think is right.We shape our life in that way.Our life is the product of choices we make Go back and start looking at your life.It has all been the result of your choices isnt it? Your job,your career,your friends,your life partner,your thoughts,your lifestyle..its all that you choose.Well if you think all these things arent what you chose,then probably you are not living your life.So make the decision now.Chose your life.Set your priorities. Imagine you are painter, painting a picture.You have all the colours and a brush.Now you just haveto choose a colo

Right and Wrong?

Image
How do you define right and wrong? It’s a very subjective question and hence the answer may differ from person to person,situation to situation and place to place. Simple logic.Eating particular type of food could be tradional in one community and prohibited in another.Also right and wrong depends on choices you make and way you want to behave in life.Wearing a particular type of clothes could be also “right” or “wrong” depending on communities and places.Again time is an important factor too.Something which was considered wrong a few decades ago is now accepted in society. So the question is again..What is right? And What is wrong? In broad sense,what makes you happy is right and what makes you sad is wrongSo If you are doing something for the society but you are not happy doing it ,it is wrong.At the same time if you are doing something which makes you feel happy but the world may criticse you,you should go ahead cos that is right. So your n

Live in Madness..live your life

Have you ever lived a day in madness? Complete madness? Without bothering what the world around you makes “judgement” about you?Have you done what you always wanted to do? Have you ever danced as if no one is watching you? Or sang even if you do not know the lyrics?Have you ever loved to the extent it hurts without expecting anything in return? Have you ever played a game knowing you would lose but still played because you enjoyed playing..perhaps even trying to win ? Life is a limited edition product.You do not know what is going to happen tomorrow.Do all the things you ever wanted to.Take time out to spend with your family.Spend time with the people who care for you.Watch your kids grow up.Say thank you to your spouse for his/her support.Tell your friends what they mean to you.Make them smile often.Tell them how good they look when they smile.Laugh a lot.Make others laugh.Work hard.Get fit.Sing your favorite song.Eat pani puri on a roadside stall.Send small notes to your friends simp

Stand up for yourself

One of the most difficult thing to do is being able to stand up for yourself.Trust me it is very difficult ,especially when all  the circumstances arent in your favour. Lets agree on the fact that all days are not rainy days.Once the season gets over ,it is always a time for the bright sunshine.What you have to do is to act on time .But till then,you have to stand up for yourself,not get knocked  down by your fears and have faith and patience.Everyone else might lose faith in you.You still have to stand by yourself.Take a stand and do not move your focus.Improve on your strengths,conquer your weakness.Whatevee it is..the sunshine will come,sooner or later..So go and buy some fancy shades..But stand up for yourself

You want to fly

You know your type. You are not someone  who follows the crowd..you lead the crowd You start a revolution..a trend..a new way of life You are a doer. The world follows you.You are always ahead of time You care about high performances.But not more than some ther things,. Your friendship, your hobbies, your other interests You care about Social Causes You don’t just want a Hefty pay package..You want more You want to be a leader You want to fly.. You have a head and..a HEART too!!

Rome was not built in a day.

Image
Rome was not built in  a day. It took a while to build the Heritage city.Right from making the walls and buildings as well as the great Colosseum.Some say it took 317,767.5 days to build Rome.Dont know whether this is a pun or any sort of humerous quote.But what soever Rome was nt built in a day Taj Mahal in Agra ,India is one of the World Heritage sights.It signifies the love of an Indian King for his beloved wife who died early leaving behind her beloved grieving husband.Do you know it took 22 years to build it? And  you think u can stop chasing a dream as you have been working too hard too long and not seeing any results? You think you have already invested a lot of money,time and effort in something a business,a venture,a reltionship,a project,a house,a job or even a hobby and you havent seen the results? You think whatever you have done till date has gone waste because there is nothing tangible you have achieved? Note that huge dreams take lot of efforts and more important

Haste ye back part 2

Day 2: The Scottish Highlands The much anticipated day had arrived. I got up a little early than others. Very much excited.. It was 7 degrees in Edinburgh. I still decided to have a hot shower that too at 6 am. I brushed showered and got ready wearing my full sleevee tshirt jeans and jackets and boots n scarves  We rushed to have breakfast as my bus was to leave at 7:30 from the Royal Mile. We had lovely hashbrowns and eggs and my dose of caffeine As we stepped out to walk towards the bus stop I realised the meaning if 7degrrees :-) I finally wore my gloves .. I got some stares from the locals but they smiled back after seeing me smile innocently My bus took off as decided and I took the first seat, wore my shades , plugged in my ipod and started my journey as my bus took the beautiful road. My bus driver kept his commentary on as to what are the places we are passing by. It was difficult to pick every word due to a heavy scottish accent , but appreciated his effort to speak and explai

The negativity..end it

There are good days and there are bad days.There are good times and bad times.. There are good people and there are bad people.Hang on.There are no bad people.Those can be rebranded as good people in bad circumstances.Good people with bad experiences.Their so called nature could be result of the circumstances which they have faced. Some one who is crying or whining all the time is just reacting to the bad circumstance he has been through.Some one who ever depressed is suffering from lack of hope.Some one who is insecure or jealous just wants to be just like you.Someone who is angry is just trying to safeguard his side of being preventive before he breaks down into tears.And then there is the most common person who is ‘pulling you down” from your big dreams who is actually being over protective about you since his dreams were shattered to pieces So does that mean the person who is forever happy and cheerful has never experienced any kinds of setback? Or do you think he ors he is nai

Turn your life by 180 degrees

The simplest way to turn your life into a positive one is to think of the best part of the day that happened on that particular day..do it everyday Every day no matter how hard the day is,it will have atleast one thing to be grateful for.Maintain a gratitude diary or paste it on a post it  note on your desk or write in on a paper at home, saying thank you.It could be for the food you ate or the money you have in pocket or for the house you stay in or the coffee you drink or the fresh breeze of air or the beautiful track on radio or the call from your best friend or music on your iPod or the smell of flowers or perfume.....et all..It could be anything. Slowly you will get many things to thank and know that when your list starts increasing..you are on the right track See how it turns your life by 180 degrees within 4-6 weeks.. If someone laughs at you when you are doing or discussing this process ..thank them too:)..you made them smile n laugh n saw someone smiling:))   Forwar
