Priceless sleep

I have often heard oldies shouting and complaining about the young generation as why do they prefer to sleep so much during holidays? But no one has tried to know the reason for same, its very easy to judge and say that people are lazy but its difficult to go to the roots and find the reason for this. Sleeping makes you forget about everything going around you for sometime, it takes you away from everything that's bothering you, corporate stress, career stress, social stress, competition is everywhere , we all are willingly or unwillingly part of this race and this keeps your mind continuously busy thinking how would u reach your goals, how will u cope up with the rest of the people around you and specially when there is no choice but to be a part of it . Life is no more a simple task where office and home locations are nearby, people spend quality of time and energy to reach work place, later the work pressure, along with this you are always gifted with some or the other political stress at work place, very few are blessed with a very peaceful and huddle free personal life, some struggle for finances and some for relationships. After all this if its just a peaceful sleep during a weekend it is a big ask ??

Diwali Learnings

After spending quality time at Marine drive sea face this diwali there were few things that inspired me to the core. I have heard , read , and seen people suggesting not to include fire crackers for diwali celebrations and I do agree as they are right on the environment and health issues but where my mind was stuck is that if crackers had so many disadvantages then why were they invented ?? Probably not all but few were invented with a reason , a reason to give a lesson of positivity , a lesson of hard work. An example of rocket will be a perfect compliment to what I exactly mean. One needs to be at ground level if he dreams to touch the sky, without being down to earth you cannot fly high. One needs to take the extreme pain of touching fire, this indicates taking risk in life, take a risk and trust yourself . Once the risk is taken pull your socks and move towards your direction without bothering what are the remarks given by the society to you, good, bad or ugly whatever be the case you need to reach the destination. Be so enthusiastic that people take a step behind and give you a space to fly high. Then when you reach the highest peak , your destination, you shine like a star and the people on ground level the ones who had taken a step behind will be the one capturing you in pictures. That's called your day, your moment . Live it , whatever be the duration and come down with all calm and compassion. This is what exactly life is all about . Everything in life has a meaning we just need to take an initiative and look deep inside.

Live Life !!

We all count the investments we made in our life , the returns that we are earning out of it. We are so busy earning money that we are constantly in the process of knowing how and what should we do so that we can earn more, live a better lifestyle, have a luxurious life . We start from the initial level that's education, forgetting the entire purpose of education we use it as a tool to earn wealth. But what next, and where does this end ? The answer is no where , we tend to ignore the biggest fact of life and that is to live our life, life is much beyond inhale and exhale of oxygen , its all about creating wonderful moments , to cherish them, live life with your loved ones, make mistakes , learn from your mistakes and move ahead , laugh on your mistakes nothing wrong in it , we are humans and we are bound to make many of them. Move out of your comfort zone and try something adventurous where you may not earn dollars but for sure some beautiful experience . At the end of your life dont count your dollars count your memories , trust me it will bring a bigger smile on your face .

Let go !!

The best way to stay happy is to let go !! Easier said then done but that's the only way how you can keep yourself at peace and live this life in a beautiful way. The reason why people feel negative is because first, we cannot let go things in life, we hold on to things even when we know that its not in our control, rather then working on it we just sit and worry about it , don't we ? Second, we expect a lot from this universe, we expect all good deeds to come back to us immediately, we want all the success immediately , we expect that we never fall into any awkward situations in life and always have a fairytale like life , but, that's not possible and that's what we need to tell ourselves. Our life is not a fiction story, it is a real life where the author is none other but our own set of karmas performed by us. Whichever century we cross, whatever gadgets we use in our life the theory of karma will always remain the same . We need to do good deeds , expect less from this universe and have to let go things that are not in our control. Remember one thing, no one is fully satisfied in his life , a beggar starves for a single meal and a rich man walks miles to digest a meal !!!

God's painting for me

You have made a beautiful painting ( imagine a plan of your future ) and then someone comes there ,( imagine god) looks at your painting , takes the brush from your hand and intervenes , changes the colour combination, erases few objects. You get pissed off as the plan looks completely different from what you imagined, not even close to your imagination, you cry, you beg in front of that person, you even get furious and feel everything is destroyed but he continues his work without even bothering about your reaction. You get depressed , you loose hopes, feel like everything is destroyed and dont even look at what he is creating and then suddenly he comes and gives you your painting and says, take it ,its all yours now. Now the one that you are holding in your hand is so wonderful, pleasing and attractive , moreover much better and beyond your imaginations to what you were planning for your painting . This is what God does everytime .

Instant Karma....Not always Instant !

Social media is full of quotes and videos that speak about karmas, our karmic account, good deeds etc. Latest of all is INSTANT KARMA this one is widely accepted, or let me put it this way, highly shared and liked among the new generation. Well, to be very honest it does not work that way and its not instant. Yes, its not a packet of noodles, it's your own karmic account and it has a cycle . There are videos uploaded on social media that shows some silly acts like a man pulling another one and due to this act he falls into his own trap and instead of the other guy falling down, he falls down and hurts himself. Good thought, but unfortunately it does not happen so instantly. A human being when gets into the activity of performing negative karmas for his own benefits and decides to harm other humans or any living creature he gets success at the beginning phrase, he gets the confidence and here is when karma tests him. Yes, he gets all the success in the beginning, here, if he realises his mistake and regrets, good for him, but normally it does not happen. Later, when he reaches to the peak of his success karma plays it's role. This is the time when he pays for all the negative karmas performed by him, because it's only when you loose something that you love the most you realise your mistakes. It's all about the pain that you feel post loosing all that's close to your heart. Karma is a cycle which no one can escape, it comes at the right time and not at your time . Vidhi Majithia
