and look around

there ain't no stopping, 

slow down well and 

inch out to present ..

എന്റെ വിരലുകൾക്ക് ഭംഗിയില്ലാത്തതുകൊണ്ടാണോ എന്റെ എഴുത്തിനും ഭംഗിയില്ലാത്തത് ? ലക്ഷ്മിക്ക് സംശയമായി. അവൾ കൈപ്പത്തി മെല്ലെ ഉയർത്തി ഓരോ വിരലുകളായി നോക്കി.. വെളുത്തുനീണ്ടു മെലിഞ്ഞ വിരലുകൾ, വിരലിന്റെ അറ്റം അവളുടെ പുരികങ്ങൾപോലെ നെർത്തത് , നഖങ്ങൾ നന്നായി വെട്ടി മിനുസപ്പെടുത്തിയിരികുന്നു, ഇളം പിങ്ക് നിറമാണ് നഖങ്ങൾക്ക്. അറ്റം അല്പം വെളുത്തിരിക്കുന്നു, അവളുടെ കണ്ണുകൾപോലെ അവയ്ക്കും നല്ല തിളക്കമുണ്ട്...
അവൾ ഒരു പേനയെടുത്തു പിടിച്ചു നോക്കി..എഴുതും പോലെ ചലിപ്പിച്ചു..  രണ്ടാം തരത്തിൽ കണക്കു പഠിപ്പിച്ച ഗീത ടീച്ചർ പേന പിടിക്കുന്നതു ലക്ഷി ഓർത്തു, അതുപൊലിരിക്കുന്നു അവളുടെ വിരലുകൾ.
നല്ല ഭംഗിയാണ് ഗീത ടീച്ചറിന്റെ വിരലുകൾക്ക്, പീന്നെന്താ എന്റെ വിരലുകൾക്ക് ? നല്ല ഭംഗിയാണല്ലോ.. പിന്നെ എഴുത്തിനാണോ കുഴപ്പം? നല്ല ഭംഗിയുള്ള കൈയ്യക്ഷരമെന്നു തിരുമേനി പറയുകയും ചെയ്തല്ലോ.. ഗണപതിഹോമം നടത്തിയിട്ട് തിരുമേനി നുണ പറഞ്ഞതാണോ?... അത് മാതൃഭൂമിയിൽ അച്ചടിച്ചുവരികയും ചെയ്തു. അന്ന്  ലക്ഷ്മിക്ക് വല്ല്യ സന്തോഷം തോന്നിയ ദിവസമായിരുന്നു. ചിറ്റപ്പൻ നിർബന്ധിച്ചാണ്  അന്നത് അയച്ചു കൊടുത്തത്. എന്തായാലും മൊത്തത്തിൽ നല്ല അഭിപ്രായമാണ്. കയ്യിലെടുത്ത പേന നിലത്തു വയ്ക്കാതെ ലക്ഷ്മി ഒരു കടലാസ്സെടുത്ത് എഴുതി... "ശ്രീ "

Our Mind..

The phenomenon which always craving for something.. and is like a monkey over to the branches reaches the peaks but still not predetermined. There is no definition and act like an infinite set of solutions then by a cycle of packets of problems integrating doing the same task again and again. 

Should say we can't define it a complex phenomenon 

Polishing of our consciousness, subconsciousness the waves inside and deep.

Where is it burning?

Reaching its height, settle down. 

Live in present ....

Dubai Dream

and perhaps, nothing really is

Dubai glistens. Impossibly-shiny glass windows gleam across blocks of new high-rises and 350,000 sqm shopping malls. Sprawling man-made lakes glitter in the brilliant sunlight. A 40-minute drive from downtown takes you to a surreal dreamscape filled with golden sand, where friendly camels trot and tourist-hungry campsites stage belly dances by twilight. And of course, the heat. The intense, body-baking heat that rises out of the sand that goes everywhere. Your shoes, your room, the pockets of your jeans. Thanks to some friends living there,Dubai is a strange place – sparse with people and filled with multi-billion dollar dreams. Drive through the city  (it’s laid out in one long line), and you’ll find towering, half-finished buildings left standing as if discarded by a giant child. Nobody walks anywhere because of the heat, so the city in the middle of the afternoon resembles a dusty ghost town. The countless malls are laden with brands from everywhere in the world – burgers from South Africa, Lebanese sharwarma wraps, Italian bags of the softest leather, bakeries from Australia. Stay too long in Dubai – and you’ll feel like you’re wandering about in a hazy dream. Nothing seems quite real. And perhaps, nothing really is.

world is upside down

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.

evening thoughts ...

taking the beauty of life for granted

I feel like I fell in love with your words
and your voice
all before knowing your name.

Maybe in another life
we’ll meet again.

Have a memorable Onam this year!

dreams finally come true?

lucid dream?

 “When oh when will my dreams finally come true?” you ask, restlessly tossing and turning in your bed late at night. “I’ve been on this Earth for so many years and yet, here I am — without any of my dreams existing in my reality

will come true?

"We grow great by dreams. 

All big men are dreamers. 

They see things in the soft haze of a spring day 

or in the red fire of a long winters evening.

Some of us let these great dreams die, 

but others nourish and protect them. 

They nurse them through bad days 

until they bring them to the sunshine

and the light that always comes to those who sincerely hope 

that their dreams will come true"

- Woodrow Wilson

the treasure you look for is hidden in the ground on which you stand

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.

Illusion

Buddhism says that our current way of life (called Samsara) is an illusion

 The Buddha said, “Oh, Bhikshu, every moment you are born, decay, and die.” He meant that, every moment, the illusion of "me" renews itself. Not only is nothing carried over from one life to the next; nothing is carried over from one moment to the next.

For the past few months I don't quite understand what has happened to me. I have come to know about the idea that we are all one single consciousness, and have felt frustrated since knowing this world is an illusion. And if you flee, if you escape, will you ever truly be free?
Yes,Life is an illusion. We always think with the help of love, friendship, we can remain happy forever. But in reality it never happens, everything come to an end....and on that day we are again alone, battling the life in our own way with no one to support.Then, why we don't want to accept this fact, I think the prime reason is we want to be happy, happy forever.Life is an illusion, death is the ultimate truth. We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.Accept it! :)

It is said "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
There is beauty in every life, every moment.
Here is to finding it in every moment of my life.
I am just one who looks for the small moments in life to find pleasure in.
The chance to do something important is often found in small moments and small acts.

Masterful Comeback

I remember reading an article by Santigold on vision a couple of days ago. Santigold described how...

“We can decide what we see for ourselves and for our world, and make our vision a reality.”
 Santigold is who she is:  she doesn’t sway her artistic vision under the waves of pop music.
You will fall in love with this World as the songs of nature are soothing with fresh beats
and deep lyrics. The love beats combine well with the intriguing green elements.

Fill The World With Happiness.

Every day I am reminded of the problem within today's society...the lack of positivity, happiness and enthusiasm towards life itself. Life is meant to be filled with Love of every kind, it is meant to be filled with wealth of every kind and it is meant to be filled with happiness of every kind. This is your life . YOUR life. It doesn't belong to anybody else.
I just met with Dr. Nizar Ahammed, Psychiatrist. I've met him once and felt comfortable and he's someone I'm able to talk to; During last visit he said something about happiness and he scribbled a picture of a smiling Face on a piece of paper and gave it to me
