A Rendezvous

I keep getting updates from my mom about my garden but instantly get tired of imagining what it would be like. However this imagination will soon be turning into reality as I am going to be heading home pretty soon. The very prospect of walking into my balcony is making me so joyous. I feel, both pets and plants need ample of attention and when you are not around to love and nurture them they fall ill. Also, I have so often found that when I  am away  from something I'm really attached with, my love for that thing increases and I guess its the same with everybody. I just hope that when I walk into my garden my plants will recognize me and bloom to their fullest capacity. I know, all this sounds so very melodramatic but  this is the reality of life. Human beings connect with happiness by learning to love and this love may be shared with other humans, animals ,plants or even art. I have learned to love and so can you.

Happiness-An Uniterative Facet Of Life

How often do we come across situations where we try to wear an artificial smile but deep down find no cord to connect with it. We feel like sulking, crying or being angry but also fail in bringing out these natural emotions. But,when our soul is happy, we are happy. Everything around us seems to be exciting and even the daily mundane activities in life hold some significance. Well, I sometimes come across situations where there is no apparent reason for me to be unhappy but, I still don't want to be happy. Is happiness related to an external factor or some abstract driving force in nature? Happiness, just like medicines, have to be injected to provide tranquility to the soul. Once the soul gulps down the doze of happiness, life seems amazing, even if, for a brief period of time. Sometimes, I feel it takes some effort on my part to be happy but, why not? Life is really short and since it it is mostly plagued by rough waters,why not remain afloat for one more day, by just being happy. The  one possible method of filling the void created by no feelings could be filled in by activities which keep us busy. This way we at least prevent our mind from turning into a devil's workshop. My dad keeps saying that if I try to be happy the world will be happy and vice-verse. I guess, somewhere his words have a lot of meaning. But, I know, somewhere in the corner of my mind that if I keep waiting for a positive incident to bring happiness in my life, I'll soon be doomed!  Life is a weird combination of positive and negative incidents and it is up to us to remain happy all through. Happiness definitely doesn't iterate but who says it can't persist!

Dreams-Roads to Ecstasy or Agony

Dreams,do they ever mean anything? I'm talking about those dreams you happen to experience when you are fast asleep.You may break out in a cold sweat and wake up or just end up crying in your sleep.Gosh!they can actually freak you out.But do they have some hidden meaning? The worst feeling is when you can remember the consequence from a dream but not the dream itself,funny,ain't it?I sometimes feel we also dream at the conscious level,possibly when we are just about to wake up.but,what significance do these dreams have?.Do nightmares come to you to scare you away in life or are they just those booby traps laid by the almighty to teach us something? I feel dreams pull you into a quick sand of unanswered questions,the more you try to wriggle out of them,they just pull you in.Don't even foray into the the subject of 'Dejavu'.This has always been something which has sent chills down my spine.I remember that when I was younger I used to suddenly freeze while doing my daily activity thinking that I had already done it.Something would make me feel weirdly familiar with whatever I was doing or seeing.Or,are dreams just those puzzle pieces which you collect over a while and finally put together in your grave? Dreams compel you to take some actions even when you are awake.There is a feeling  that what you faced in your dream must become a reality.But,after all,we are humans and god only knows whose pulling those strings up there,that we humans mock at ourselves at times.But anyway,sleep is something I badly need at this point and I am sure to slip into a third world again where I may be absolutely happy or may be bewitched.All said and done,I definitely believe that dreams cannot make us good or bad where as,situations can.

Slumber-The Best Medicine

I keep wondering as to why I have become so very utterly restless, behaving as if I were a drug addict craving for the last sniff of the remaining pod. Even though work is available in plenty, my mind seems to be racing ahead of its time trying to find that 'Pit stop' where it can be reguvenated. I have heard people talking about 'sleeping over problems' but, hey! all these philosophical takeaways look beautiful in books and not in reality, right? Nevertheless, I am just waiting for a break, a break where I can take a breather and send myself into 'Slumber'.

A Soulful Sojourn

Many a times I feel there is some pent up nervous energy waiting to escape my body and that never actually leaves but instead brings some more frustration.In this situation my mind actually loses sync with my body and I really fail to comprehend what really needs to be done.I happened to be faced with a similar situation today and, without batting an eyelid I chose music to make some effort to wave a white flag at my restless soul.I correctly recall organizing my playlist with a set of melodious songs and started listening to a song by focusing on the background score and the other instruments and within a few minutes felt absolutely peaceful.You could call it  a miracle of some sort because I suddenly started feeling happy and my mind started churning positive thoughts.The happiness which enshrouded me was something I couldn't describe but it surely did sweep me off my feet.It could be the combination of the words,beats and the notes which doubled up to be the perfect recipe for happiness and folks,that is what is our aim in life,isn't it?Muisc does wonders when you are completely involved in it and make sure you listen to music in a peaceful envoirnment.There is no definition for good music except,listen to any piece of music from any domain which you like or you can easily connect with.So folks,all you have to do is shut your eyes tight,get into the vehicle called 'Music' and be transported to the world of happiness.

Doing something by doing nothing

Have you ever imagined what life would be like if we just slowed down for a day and took a break.Well,don't ring bells in your mind about the loss of one day from your short life time because,even God up there wants you to apply breaks on your lackluster life.People may actually worship  their work but that doesn't mean they shouldn't stop and check out whether they are on the right track.If you feel that some demons will come around and plague your idle mind,stop cribbing and start 'ideating'.The idea behind taking a break is to let your brain contact your soul.In simle terms,you'll get to know yourself better.Try to find your passions and hobbies so that your mind will never be idled when you next take a break.The main reason behind this is to break the monotony you subject yourself to.Seriously folks,I have tried it and that is  where I found my passion for gardening and you could find your's too.Life is an interesting book and don't buzz through it to just read the words-'The End'

Books-A Constructive Indulgence

Moving away from my garden was the last thing I wanted but,in reality,a majority of  things in life are ineviatble.Well,since I am a student living away from home,every time I have to leave,my plants actually hold me back.But my mom is incharge of my garden until I get back and so I can be relieved.To take my mind away from this obsession or love for my plants,whatever it may be,I have started reading books and I must say that they can be really soothing for the mind.When I am reading the first few pages I feel like a light sleeper,who is pretty much aware of his surroundings but, after the next few pages I feel like I am travelling through this amazing world where characters actually come alive and start making sense to me.And believe me,if the story doesn't unfold in the manner I want it to,the entire day seems gloomy and everything seems sad.I many a times feel I have gone crazy but, hey!books  ultimately create this wonderful atmosphere which absorbs you deeper and deeper as you latch on to it.Secondly all the daily activities seem all the more monotonous and boring.I feel,books are like muses,once you are done with one the next is waiting to entice you.I must say that as we grow older everything in life has a hidden meaning and that we just need to discover it.When I was younger,I definitely read books but didn't really understand what inner power they had.I guess,with maturity comes 'meaning' and I am happy to have become an avid reader.
