വെറുതെ ഒരു പോസ്റ്റ്‌

ഒരു പഴയ ചിത്രം 

എല്ലാവർക്കും നമസ്കാരം ! 

 എഴുതിയിട്ട് ഒരുപാട് നാളായെങ്കിലും ബ്ലോഗ്‌ വായിക്കുന്നവരുടെ അഭിപ്രായങ്ങളും ടെലിഫോണ്‍ കോളുകളും കിട്ടുന്നുണ്ട്, സന്തോഷം. ഈ ബ്ലോഗ്പോസ്റ്റ് എന്റെ ഓർമ്മ ശെരിയാണെങ്കിൽ, ഞാൻ മലയാളത്തിൽ എഴുതുന്ന രണ്ടാമത്തെ പോസ്റ്റ്‌ ആവണം. മലയാളം വളരെ വേഗത്തിൽ തന്നെ ടൈപ്പ് ചെയ്യുകയാണ് .. ചില വായനക്കാർക്ക് ബുദ്ധിമുട്ട് ഉണ്ടാകും എന്ന് മനസിലാക്കുന്നു. അല്ല പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് ഒന്നും എടുത്തു പറയാൻ ഈ ബ്ലോഗിൽ ഇല്ലെങ്കിലും എന്തെങ്കിലും കുത്തി കുറിക്കാനും ചിലരത് വായിക്കാനും ഇടവരുന്നതുകൊണ്ട് ഇടയ്ക്ക് ഒന്ന് പൊടി തട്ടി വയ്ക്കാം എന്ന് കരുതി. പിന്നെ ഇടയ്ക്ക് പശ്ചാത്തല സംഗീതം മാറ്റുന്ന പതിവ് ഉണ്ട്, ഇന്നും തെറ്റിച്ചിട്ടില്ല, ഫ്ലാഷ് പ്ലയെർ ഉള്ളവർ ശബ്ദം കൂട്ടുകയാണെങ്കിൽ നന്നായി കേൾക്കാം ;

അവധി ദിവസം തിരക്കില്ലെങ്കിലും ഒരു പുസ്തകം വായിച്ചു കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നു ! 

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!

Patience is a hard discipline. It is not just waiting until something happens over which we have no control: the arrival of the bus, the end of the rain, the return of a friend, the resolution of a conflict. Patience is not waiting passively until someone else does something. Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are. When we are impatient, we try to get away from where we are. We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later, and somewhere else. Let’s be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand.

Will someone make me happy?

At any moment in our lives, we can change our mindset and choose to be happy

All right, here’s the sitch, I haven’t blogged in a while and I’m not planning on it anymore. It has nothing to do with me not having fun because I’m having a good time. It’s because I was blogging in the beginning because I missed something/home and was unhappy. But I’m not anymore, in fact, I don’t want to go home!!

 Will someone make me happy?

No one can make you happy.  If you are waiting for someone to come along and fix your life, you are in for a huge disappointment.  There is no person who can “fix” you.  You are a human being with some strengths and some weaknesses but are not fixable by another human.
You need to work on yourself.
The best you can hope for is to find someone who really loves you.  Who is deeply flawed, but genuinely loves you, expresses that love by trying to be considerate of you in tangible ways, and is trying to improve, that is it. You need to work on you.  Just like you can work on your body with physical exercise, you need to work on your emotions, mind and soul.  The closer you get to being a complete person the closer you will be to finding happiness. The closer you are to being a complete person the more likely you are to be in a happy relationship (or to do what some people would call “find your soul mate”).  And get ready cause he/she will be a work in progress, just like you.

Happiness is a Journey and not a Destination

I Resigned From my Job

it's okay for someone to be alone

But it’s some sort of personal issues which made me take a decision of leaving my job and take a quiet vacation for my own self apart from my work. And thus I have mailed my resignation to the concern in the middle of this month; my decision, which gave me a nostalgic feeling and made me stick up hard to my decision.

"This is the time to reconnect with myself, a time where I can talk to myself, debating all the questions and answers that are bouncing in my head. This is the time of reflection. This is the time of acceptance and letting go, .... The reaction of other people to the end of my relationship has been one of the strangest factors in my experience… it's difficult to convince most people that it's okay for someone to be alone, and that life doesn't end and activities don't stop"
-Tiny Buddha

I can't quite see the end ahead

 Rather than to live a suppressed life hiding in the shadows of mediocrity and remaining a latent soul obscured from the greatness that lies deep within, I would rather emerge from the darkness and reveal the beauty of my light to world. ... What is it you seek in your life…. love, happiness, health and wealth? .... The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens

Falling Apart...

“What do you do when you can't bear it anymore?…

do you wish your significant other did something differently?

 I can't bear this pain anymore. I don't know how I've been taking it. But I can't do it anymore. My heart aches and hurts so much that it consumes all coherent thoughts in my mind... All that I can think of is wanting to end this pain... I really cannot take it anymore...I don't feel sane or rational right now. I need to sit down and think. But I can't think without thoughts of you flooding my mind. My mind and thoughts are centered around you so tightly that there is no space even for thoughts of myself...what do I do?

Untold Love Story

"She is so cute! 

Why is she so beautiful?

 Is it so that i am loving her. 

In every angle,

I find her no defect.

 Her eyes, her lips,

 her hair and most touchingly her voice....

gosh! it kills me. 

She has made my life.

 She is everything to me"

It was really strange, they were holding hands

Slowly their friendship grew stronger and stronger but the heart of the boy gave new name to his friendship. He started loving her desperately and so...desperately!
Now, as we know, in every love story misunderstandings block the way, it too happen to his love story which was a tragedy.  Reaching somewhere, the boy had to make apologies for loving her, for not able to convince her with his love, and taking their relation into more than a friend but her reply made him more suspense. She said to him that she never heard the words and he never uttered to him and she was a big.........??? that black space at last was his curiosity. He could never ask what was it. He had no idea after that what he should be doing. He felt depressed and lonely. In the crowd also, he felt solitary, more over he would close his room door and get lost into his own world without saying a word with his friends. His friends on top never made an attempt to give him company with his sadness.She said "yes!...now I am realizing that he really loves me" followed she said, she is not going be in relation with anybody and that's forever.why is that? Is it that she has got another guy, or has she been betrayed by her true love in the past or she has got some other reason that even after realizing there is someone who really loves her and as we know true love is rare thing to achieve, she cannot except his love. Question mark with no answer.He got more depressed with his epilogue of the story turning into tragedy. Nothing was helping him and he kept on thinking what was there that he could not understand her or she didn't understand. But unlike other guys, he didn't go into drugs and all, doing that he thought it would make his love more cheap and rather he decided he would be strong and not to give up so easily. He said to himself he would meet her once personally and pour out his thoughts and questions.The first part of the epilogue has shown its color and now let us wait for the second part to show up. Let us see what is lying behind after his secret meeting with her.....lets wait and watch!!

In the crowd also, he felt solitary

long time ago in a very far away land...

it's absolutely impossible to make someone belong to us

A lot of you have been in the same position. The precious memory of that moment, I suppose it's become my way to relax in the midst of this whirlwind I'm living these days... Sandeep Sagar
How I wish for someone who'll spend with me, who'll tell me her problems, and I can tell her mine. .... I told her that I loved her, my sister. I told her that in that moment I loved her more than any other person.... the precious memory of that moment when she hold my hand seeing how much she already cares about me as her brother and how concerned she is about the important things in life. Now She's gone, still thinking about her everyday. And I know feelings was hurt and she can blame me.And now she's..Now she's far far away

so close; yet so far away

ALL MY L.O.V.E !

powerful route to happiness. Here's how...

 "Love is not a one-day-holiday, it is who we are"

“You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation…and that is called loving. Well then, love your suffering. Do not resist
it, do not flee from it.Take a step back from your narrow thoughts and visions and just focus on one thing: BEING LOVE

Love and Happiness To One And All :)

key to finding happiness

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

In fact in our society, I find that while some speak of unconditional love, very few of us actually practice it on a daily basis 
Love. Love is us. We are it. It is our essence.

Love is what each person whether consciously or unconsciously hungers for. Love is what feeds us, and it is what sustains us.You have to part with one and all. But losing your dear or loved  one is very excruciating, particularly when somebody captures your true love. Of course, you can know the sentiments and emotions. No one has been approved .True love knows no bounds, no limits. True love has no expectations and holds no obligations. True love – a love without conditions – unconditional love – is where we want to keep growing towards, on our journey of spiritual evolution

Learn to Love Everyone

The point of this blog post is that I am interested in spirituality and i wanted to create a plain But I can't explain how they are practical for everyone. I know in the title it says Oh, I just can't help but want to love everyone on this Beautiful Planet

“The one who loves all intensely begins perceiving in all living beings a part of himself…He becomes a lover of all, a part and parcel of the Universal Joy.He flows with the stream of happiness, and is enriched by each soul.”

-(Yajur Veda)

"Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand " - Mother Teresa

 I made new friends, rediscovered old ones, found new hobbies and met a new love.... I guess you could say all it took was time. Everyone was right by saying "give it some time".I'm happy at the same time. I'm extremely happy because in a way, it actually proved that I love everything with all of my heart ,it is not an easy thing loving Everyone,but we can practice this.I made an informal research on that,where you listen to others, and talk yourself, Whatever the point is, it is made quickly but record in mind.You love everyone. And everyone loves you back!
