Did you notice?

Well life and its unpredictability…Interesting and surprising. When we wish to have something so badly it keeps on framing pleas to go away from us. It is so important to know what we actually want. Well who knows that! We complain and criticize something for so long and when we realize that it has changed our lives and we are quite close to it we get scared of losing it and start retreating , when we should actually stalk it and finally make sure that it is ours, just ours…because that’s what matters.  When you don’t like something about somebody, you don’t just judge them and fail, it is not a promising foundation for anything. When you are bonded you got to accept the person for all that they are and not only the easy going one, not only the smiling and soothing one, not only the beautiful side of the one. And you are stupid if you turn your back to something that is as important as Love.

You might be the exact opposites, with different likes and dislikes, you may not have anything at all in common, but you have each other and that suffices for everything else. It might be a fairy-tale image in front of you, but please don’t forget that somebody is actually living it and loving it. Someone craves to talk to you when you are busy with papers.  Someone secretly loves to watch you smile when you are not looking at her. Someone just loves the way you express the slightest of things. Someone keeps reading and re-reading letters of love and dreams of dwelling there forever. And it is certainly not because there’s nothing else around. Even she has a life of her own, but she keeps you in the forefront, Even she has her priorities, When you never thought of her while prioritizing your life she was in a fix whether you are the pinnacle of her priorities or you are the priority. Even she has a career and aspirations that she treasures as any other career-oriented person, but she thinks of you first while writing down her life…and it is surely not because there’s no one else, it is only because she loves you. Period.

There might not be beautiful tomorrows but there are dreams of many. There may not be all the smiles of love and exclusivity but there are pictures drawn. You might be scared of the “What Ifs” and “Then Whats” but she wants to hold your hand as a reassurance and walk through the trodden and the untrodden. She wants to be the strongest pillar on which you can rely in a heartbeat; she wants to be that confidante on whom you can trust like no one else. She wants to tell you that everything will be fine and our dreams shall come true. Don’t shrug her off, she might just get hurt. She won’t show the deep cut, hide it behind her smiles, but she knows how hurt you are and that hurts her as well. Mr. Fate plays dirty games but yes…that fortifies a new doubtful bland apprehension. You won’t always get everything on a platter, sometimes you need to design it yourself with help, draw it, build it, mould it, paint it and finally set it…Right!

When she says that you are her world, trust her blindly because there’s nothing as serious as that to her. When she says that she can’t live without you, believe her, if she says so, then she just can’t. Yes people come and go and we learn to move on, but that doesn’t mean that we have to kill a beauty because of the fear of the colors turning into reality. But then we need to put in that extra effort to set the puzzle just right and enjoy the view of a long lived dream. Stop it if you can. Give it a chance if you can. Run behind it and chase it if you can…You never know what you’ll gain by holding on to it and what you’ll let slip out of your hands. It might be the most precious thing that God has ever gifted you with.

Yes of course it is time that strengthens a relationship and for that we need to have patience, trust and of course faith in the decider, hold his hands and walk through. But letting go off something beautiful and pure because of a non-existent fear is not done. You might not feel the love now, you might not feel it ever but don’t just avoid the other person’s feeling. But ya! When you realize it actually, it may not be the same situation, the same you, the same she, the same we. So don’t let it go when it is just in front of you, so close and just yours. Grab it and never let go.

You need to gather and keep it together if it is that important and special, and the day you take the decision just tell yourself silently that you were right.
...kabhi alvida na kehna

…as I sat by the rainy window

Ohh how beautiful indeed,

You’re here to hold on or to cede?

I wonder! If you were invited,

But yes, I don’t want you to fade.

What did you get for me this time?

A loud flash or a silent mime?

You’re as beautiful as the satin thread,

And as complacent as the reddish red.

The wind whispered the best hint,

The dew drops wrapped me with the best of lint.

Are these fugacious blossoms around?

Or is it a lasting deliberation firmly bound?

You made me smile with the purest of your drops,

And did make me jump like a baby, your shrilly silent props.

But it was not you who made me blush, for sure!

That was the surprising storm that you brought along with you to allure.

I am in love with myself or is it the shadow that you’ve got with you?

I think it’s me, beautiful, charming anew!

The constant brightness in my eyes says a lot,

Ne’er leave me and change the color, You are caught!

Love is a shadow dubious and mysterious…but so deep, special and just mine!

You change the world or the world will change you!!!

At this catch22 situation where everything is improving and enlarging in leaps and bounds, where the world is becoming a sparkling super power, well who cares to make it beautiful! When we were children we were taught to bring in the difference for which we will be remembered and adored who knew then that in the march of changing the world we would drown ourselves and the difference comes within us. And we forget to judge if it is a positive or a negative one, we just give in so easily to be the fastest rat in the race. In our fast pacing lives we tend to forget minute of things that actually matter. Under the cozy, not so important furry blanket the quintessence of life gets hidden and after a while fizzles out. But who has time?

 There’s the doctor so busy at work doing important surgeries, prescribing people but has forgotten his 2 year old who is unwell back at home. He even forgot that the little angel must be hankering for his love. There is this amazing philanthropist who helps millions and millions come out of their pain, but he has forgotten his ignored old parents who wait for him every night. Somebody please remind him of his real duty. There’s this famous entrepreneur who earns in every currency possible and has a sybaritic life for himself and his family but has no time to spend with his children, wife and parents. He has actually forgotten the real essence of life; it is certainly not in spending money, but actually in spending some quality time. We cannot say a NO to our bosses, we cannot displease our clients, and we have to differentiate between a smile and a smirk so that it doesn’t affect our pay check, but what about the genuine smile of your kid back at home? What about the real concerns of your mother? What about the pain that your wife takes at home to balance the sea saw of life? Yes we almost forgot. Just forgot!

Yes, we have forgotten many things today. We forget to Wish our loved ones on their special days and big and meek achievements, the real essence lies here, winning a smile as precious as the shining moon, the impeccable wavelet and the untiring lily. We sometimes forget that our words which are not so important in our dictionaries hurt people to the core and we forget to say Sorry. Sometimes it is the mountain of ego that stops us and many at times we fall short of time. And in this process we lose beautiful chapters of our lives and when we realize the clock of life becomes as ruthless as the stormy night and without a pause goes on destroying our gardens of love by stumping on the emotions, stamping on the feelings and leave our hearts stooped. So what? We forgot and did not care to save it. We even forget to acknowledge people who have brought in a significant difference in our lives. The small boy at the traffic who made us smile once by bringing us flowers from nowhere, our friend who walked an extra mile just to reach us, our mother who spent n number of sleepless nights smiling just to watch us sleep or that random helping hand that once helped us get up when we had fallen down. We should never go back in gifting a Thank You. That doesn’t take away anything from us but adds value to our character. We even forget to say those words that fascinate us the most, I love you! We forget to tell our loved ones how much they are treasured and how precious they are. Yes, sometimes it is required to say than just to feel. It is so special to make somebody else feel special. Just by holding hands, looking deep into eyes and just say “I Love You”. There’s no use saying after they’ve left, there’s no point in expressing it 100 times after the milk is spilt. We must express it with them, when they are around and hold them close forever.

By regretting, you just regret, you get nothing out of it. So just live it today, we’ll think about the tomorrows tomorrow. Do it NOW! Feel it NOW Say it NOW. This is it and nothing beyond it.

In the hustle bustle of life, we actually tend to forget small things that actually matters. All of us are just flowing away with the flow; let’s make it the most beautiful wave rather than just a twiddle. The perfect blend of odds and smiles can make the best fruit punch of life. We all are looking for happiness sometimes in the wrong places. Let us make it an epic and mature like wine that tastes the best. Adore, Love and Express. Don’t support just smile and be there, just being there heels most of it.

After rain comes sunshine just as winter always turns to spring. But the spring blossom always depends on how well we are able to use the winter. So learn to brave the winter and greet spring with the best of us.

We are unique, Special and different we just need to bank on it…We can smile and be ourselves and win the world and yes change it as well.

…now you decide if you want to change the world or let the world change you!
