ഓർമ്മകൾ

ഒരു ബ്ലോഗ് പോസ്റ്റ് മലയാളത്തിൽ എഴുതണമെന്നു മുന്പ് ഞാൻ ആഗ്രഹിച്ചിരുന്നു കൂടാതെ അന്ന് എഴുതാൻ ഒരുപാട് കാര്യങ്ങൾ മനസ്സിൽ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു പക്ഷെ ഇന്ന് മലയാളത്തിൽ എഴുതാൻ ഒന്നുമില്ലാ ഓർമ്മകൾ വാടിപ്പോയിരിക്കുന്നു!

Happy Eid al-Fitr!

May Allah shower his countless blessings upon you and your family

world is upside down

There’s only one kind of love that can fill us up, make us whole, and give us the happiness we all want: unconditional love or true love. It is unconditional love that we all seek, and somehow we intuitively realize that anything other than that kind of love isn’t really love at all—it’s an imitation of the real thing.

“I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.” Princess Diana

Love—everybody wants it but so many of us have trouble finding it. Or giving it. Or even knowing what it is.

As for knowing what love is, true love is one of those gifts that we know we have found by the way it makes us feel. Love enriches our lives, making us want to give even more because we are conscious of the intangible wealth we have received.

So, this is (not)

I

 So, this is life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad, and I’m still trying to figure out how could that be.”

It’s about capturing an era in life — a time of teenage confusion when everything is somehow simultaneously happy and sad and exciting and depressing and as dramatic as possible. And by the end, it’s still not figured out. But it’s still life, for better or worse.

 A small Anecdote

A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.
He held it up for all to see; asked the students,' How much do you think this glass weighs?'
'50gms!' .... '100gms!' ......'125gms' ......the students answered.
'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor,'but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?'
'Nothing' the students said. 

'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour? ' the professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the students.
'You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?'
'Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress; paralysis;
Have to go to hospital for sure!'ventured another student; all the students laughed.
'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change? ' asked
The professor. 'No' the students said.
Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?'
The students were puzzled.
'Put the glass down!' said one of the students.
'Exactly!' said the professor.' Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head; they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.
It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but
EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to 'put them down' at the end of every day before you go to sleep.
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh & strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!' 

Remember to 'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! 

Life is easy
