Until..!!!

You sometimes tend to take things totally for granted. Some things seem insignificant to you, but in real they actually turn your life around and make you realize that you should have taken a little more care… can remember a trillion such things that happened till date…Seems like today is that ‘someday’ when life till date start reflecting in front of eyes like a recap..

Never knew a cough that was bothering me for a long time would take the form of an interesting illness that will take my ‘breath’ away…literally…lol..never knew one such thing as ‘caste’ which I had only seen mentioned in my SSLC certificate will be a reason for letting go of the most priceless and precious thing of life..didn’t know that being too open and honest actually pays its price..small things do make a difference.. Sometimes one word that you really ‘care’ needs to be said at the right time. Never take that for granted...They say it’s a wonderful feeling when you lose all that you have this very moment and get them back..but to be brutally honest..it does not happen always..still you wish for it.. :) that’s the way of life

One song that reflects this emotion is ‘Kitni baatein’ from the stunningly brilliant movie ‘Lakshya’. One song that caught my attention the very first time I heard it as a caller tune in my kid bro’s phone … (Thanks Kanna for making me wait for you pick up the call…your proud sis :) lol )Still wondering how I missed it when I watched the movie!! Soothing.. soul stirring and touchy..that’s ‘Kitni baatein’ for you. The lyrics is just mesmerizing!

No matter how careful you are .. at times you have this sense that you missed something ..there is this feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should have been paying attention . .. so listen to your mind..and just give voice to your thoughts.. don’t always hold back

I have always felt that “You never leave someone behind, you take a part of them with you and leave a part of yourself behind….” Sometimes you need to learn what changes you need to make to turn your life around and then go for it.. rather than letting the life you dreamt of get washed away in the storm ..right in front of your eyes…!!!Indecision brings its own delays.. so just don’t keep it for another day… what you can do..or dream you can.. seize it this very moment..so that some days and years down the lane you don’t sit and take a sigh of regret for something you didn’t say or do..because not really all the treasures on earth can bring back one lost moment of your life.. so just go for it.. live in such a way that memories will be part of your happiness..

“The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live….I find that the further I go back, the better things were, whether they happened or not..”

kal karein so aaj kar; aaj karein so ab; pal mein pralaya hoyegi; bahuri karoge kab?.. these are DOHAS by the great poet Kabir Das.

True..sometimes its that one word 'you care'..
To be said at the right time..
The care and affection when needed most..

We can never choose anything in life...
Its just what was meant to be..
What was meant to be yours..will be...
No matter how much you feel you've lost it..
What was never yours..doesnt deserve it..
Even a place in your memories..
Though it appears.. precious..priceless..

Sometimes it is a wait...
But if it pays you for a smile tomorrow..
If the tears has the sweetness..
Of a smile forever..
I would choose to cry now...
Each day comes bearing its own gifts...
Untie the ribbons..enjoy every moment..

At times..we do not do what we want..
Yet we are responsible for what we are.
Regret for the things we did..
Can be tempered by time..
It is regret for the things we did not do..
That is inconsolable.
Whether it's the best of times or the worst..
It's the only time we've got..
Only that day dawns to which we are awake.

I have spent my days..
Stringing and unstringing my instrument..
While the song I came to sing..
Remains unsung..
Those holding moments..forgiving relevance..
Its my heart I'm holding..
And calling behind sadness of empty fields..

At times you need to learn changes you need..
To turn your life around and then go for it..
At times..we feel the life we dreamt of..
Gets washed away in the storm..
But the storm dies..and in the end..
The sun streams down..
Into the meshes of your morning..
Waking you up from the dreams in your life..
To the life of your dreams...

- Beautiful composition..lyrics..
One of my all time favorites..

Its not all so far away…:)

Tk care...God Bless you vave..!!

Inspiring, Touching, Amazing !
Your blogs strive for philosophy and attract you towards nature. They are like stories told in simple words with drops of emotions used for garnish. Ayn Rand rightly said and I will repeat after him.. Do not let the spark in your soul perish.. Lovely :)

Nice to see and read your blog. I stopped where you wrote "listen to your mind".

True, we all forget to listen to our mind in a mad rush behind this busy life. It is then when we come to the brink of a burst, we look back to see what we missed. Keep this good work going Sangeetha!

“You never leave someone behind, you take a part of them with you and leave a part of yourself behind….”

Very true and a beautiful post.I kinda think about this very taking-for-granted policy that we humans are so familiar of and i got a nice read on it out here..Keep up the good work... Serenity :)

Every sun that rises
Never rose before,
Each new day leads the way
Through a different door,
And we can all be quiet heroes
Living quiet days,
Walking through the world
Changing it in quiet ways,
Ordinary miracles
Like candles in the dark,
Each and every one of us
Lights a spark,

:)
