Looking for the ideal...

-
Life has off late has surely been mentoring me by putting me in situations perhaps unrealized to myself. On one end it was the birth of a young one in my family teaching me the joy and fragility of a young soul growing up with all the special attention that they require

While on the other I happened to meet the very hands that brought me up, cared for me and made me almost who I am...my grandmother. Today as she lies in bed on the sunset of her blissful life. How vague and how different are these two ages...both need care both need a person to take care of you...while one needs it to grow stronger and faster the other leads to survive or even pass out the final years of life painlessly.

So strange is the mystery of life that we take it for granted. We wait till we find the ideal way of life. To try and practice the best of what we understand and have gained over the years...but we have so little time on this planet to do that...so little time to even realize a few things...just when you thought you understood it all. .you start bending over in the dark old ages...the world then merely lays hope on those who have the will and conscious to exist while they can...so short is this journey that if we waste time in understanding we may be late to experience it....maybe we keep hunting our lives to find the ideal social way of living it...of ideal self motivated way...the problem is not the approach we follow... The problem is the very facet of looking for ideal...we forget that there is no ideal...this world is all relative...

Note: My grandmother passed away last month...and this text was written sitting by her sides when i met her few days before. It surely is like her last teachings for me...from the many that she gave me indirectly, without preaching or making anything compulsary in life...

Around 8 days after i first started blogging....i wrote an entry where i pronounced my new journey.This is the entry Link to the blog entry . It was a new shine...a new spirit and ofcourse it all began with the purchase of something that belonged to me....my new phone.. yes i had bought a brand new phone for myself.It was a gift from me to myself...and yes it was completely bought by my own kadi mehnat...And guess what around 2 and a half years later i have finally shifted to a new handset...a brand new phone...a Nokia N73...another piece of technology has entered my life. But yeah i would firstly like to thank my old phone for serving me loyally till the end...so much so that its still working fine and i have decided not to give it away but keep it as my backup...it needs some rst now after how i have treated it. However on philosophical front it seems very interesting to see that at that time i had just started my new life...a brand new start an erase and rewind and even today as i

Parameters ..of success

-
the parameters of success are so varied and the way we look at them also create illusions which are not what we think or have thought of but what we see and endear to desire out of momentary outlooks and then the thoughts of wonder linger around just to deluse our journey to our existing preset goals which get lost in the mist of the new illusions..... simple honest goals disrespected in the mist of worldly influences and short definitions of momentary fame called success

dawn to dusk of life...

As strong Amber sunlight breaks out at dawn...I wait patiently outside the airport bidding goodbye to my parents once again. Staying away for last 7 years from parents has a feeling of a different kind...and maybe the thought never crossed my mind that time has passed by in a jiffy....thanks to the "be practical...avoid being over emotional"  value your family ...being strong was always more important.  Everyday as the sun rises over the horizon life takes a new meaning a new dimension. But we stay oblivious to the change...because we are focussed into our lives, focussed on being successful or winning smaller battles. Growing up is so much similar to a day...starting at dawn with little or no idea of the rest of the world... And then slowly u get to know the world with more and more knowing u reach a peak a time when u think u know the whole world... Just like the sun in noon...and then starts the evening a pleasant experience where u slowly give into the sunset of life
