happiness..!!

Ever wondered why so many people are unhappy...?

Being a happy person generally, I am amazed at the lack of it in other people. On deeper investigation, however, it becomes apparent that it is not that people lack happiness. It is simply that they are unable to recognize happiness in their lives. They are so busy focusing on what is wrong with their lives, what is lacking, what they do not have...that they completely miss all that is actually there!

It is simply a matter of perspective. One needs to believe that you are responsible for your own happiness. If something makes you happy go out and get it/do it. Don't wait for someone to make it happen for you. You are every bit as capable of making it happen on your own.

Savor the small pleasures, the everyday happenings that we take for granted. In a traffic jam, take a second to enjoy the colors of the sky, or ponder over a pleasant memory. Fussing over the inconvenience of the delay will not make the delay go away...it will only make it more unbearable. On the other hand, however, focusing on a positive like a pleasant memory, or a lovely sky, something....anything, small and insignificant even, but positive will make it more pleasant, more bearable, insignificant even. Perhaps you may find complete and total happiness for just a second, while stuck in a traffic jam, however unbelievable that sounds!

try it sometime...it really works

I...

I have half completed poem in my drafts, which I don’t feel like completing.

I have so many completed posts which I don’t feel like publishing.

I have so many things to blog but I don’t feel like writing them down.

I have so much to tell you but I can’t make myself say anything.

I have a strong need to spill everything but I can’t do it.

I want to talk it out but I don’t want to talk it out.

I know things but I don’t want to know them.

I see things but I don’t want to see them.

I need to sleep but I can’t.

I need to stop thinking but my brain won’t switch off.

I need to think about myself but somehow everyone else always takes preference.

I need to stop dreaming some dreams but they seem to have become a part of me.

I need to accept my life for just this but I always keep hoping for more.

I need to start believing again but the belief is dying somehow...

DON'T ASK ME WHY...

A desire to fly unhindered, alone

Another to snuggle in the cosiness of bounds...

One to embrace a limitless sky

Another to stand firm on the grounds!

A silent moment

A soundless cry

An empty smile

A tear dry

A life unlived

passes by

I know, but

don't ask me why.

I live too, but

don't ask me why.

A numbing pain

A meaningful silence

A dying desire

A hope remnant

And a smile

that refuses to die

I know, but

don't ask me why.

I live too, but

don't ask me why.

A calm breeze

A shining sun

A storm invisible

Secrets a ton

To live, to fight

they struggle and try.

I know, but

don't ask me why.

I live too, but

don't ask me why.

A complex balance

a 'me' and a 'you'

An 'I' and a 'my'

and a 'them' too

Shattered hearts

and a 'truth' and a 'lie'

I know, but

don't ask me why.

I live too, but

don't ask me why.

GIVE ME SOME SUNSHINE , GIVE ME SOME RAIN!!

...give me another chance, I wanna grow up once again!!!

OK..i shouldn't be blogging here now when i've got my end sems just a day away...but then i'm starving (for once in days or maybe months i would say i'm actually waiting for the mess to open) and i just can't study like this...

And obviously when exams are here how can it not be that i don't have the wierdest and craziest thoughts in my mind..!!!

So, let me try and compile some of those here...

Some things are tough to understand, but some understandings are really tough to live with. But what fun is life without the tough bitter bits? What joy is living without the challenges competing to defeat you?And let me be honest, i really don't like it when life is rather smooth and eventless. Why then, run away from sorrows, if sorrows are all that is "permanent"about life and living? Why, then, not concentrate on grabbing as many of the few, tiny, perhaps trivial in the long run, moments of joy and silly bliss as possible? Isn't, at some level or the another, everything trivial in the long run??

What is the long run anyway? Why can't I be crazy, silly, agressive, sad and happy in the moment? What prevents my soul from feeling happy constantly? Why do I feel at times as if there's nowhere I belong to? Why do I seek salvation in the comforting darkness many a times? What am I searching for all the time?Certain memories become a part of us as we grow through them. Moments that aren't just etched into the heart but have actually become a part of your existence. A touch of owning and acceptance. A jerk of hurt and denial. But what I ask myself is why am I trying so hard to memorise every moment? Why am I trying so hard to live that I neither know "I"nor "try"nor "live"as to what they really mean? Why am I questioning so much???

i seriously don't know why or what did i just write...but they just happened to come to my mind at this moment..

BLURR!!

Life’s a blur nowadays. Baffling. Undecided. Lame. Stupid. And what not.

One moment I feel like wiring each and every thought frantically.

The next moment, I just leave.

And then the whole vicious cycle repeats.

(Just like right now)

don't know what to do next???

 This is not completely my own piece of writing..i read this somewhere...but i've modified it according to what i believe in...

WHO ARE WE!?!? Are we merely who others view us as, are we what we perceive ourselves to be, or are we destined to be what is predetermined? NONE of these is correct! We are only what we allow ourselves to be and there are no exceptions to this! Those who feel they are in a rut and dredge through their meager existence condemn themselves to the sorrow that ails them so severely! In reflection, those who have joy as the center of their lives gravitate around that joy and bring more and more of it into their lives. Misery is a CHOICE! Elation, IS A CHOICE! EVERYTHING ABOUT THE WHOLE OF SHEER EXISTANCE IS A CHOICE!!You determine the life you live and the joys and sorrows that are a part of it! The universe is not out to get you, STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR BLISS HIDDEN WITHIN THE VIRTUE OF YOU CAUSE!!! So many of us shirk and cringe at the slightest bit of pain; get over it. There is always someone worse off than you. Life does not have to suck, but it will if you allow it. More than commonplace, wisdom is required to live above the oppressive pain that is so common, you must find and maintain a deep sagacity that resonates from within, and to earn that you must allow yourself to experience both the triumphs and tragedies of life. Choose. Normality: trudging along and trying to make it. Abnormality: Knowing and understanding who you are and why life is as it is. We are who we choose to be; that choice can be made actively and crafted to your liking, or passively and left to the butchery of the cold and cruel. We are who we choose to be, and I choose to be someone who understands the truth. I implore you to please follow your heart and rise above the obscurity that will haunt you lest you act to stop it. Life is a choice: Don't choose wisely, choose sagaciously.
