Life lessons from a toddler 🙃

                

                We are constantly in the pursuit of happiness...no matter how hard we have to hustle for the same. And while being in this process, somehow we forget to appreciate the small things that matter to us. I never realized how I was failing to appreciate the things or the people that matter to me , until I was blessed with this little angel, my nephew 'Hridan'😘. Ever since his birth, this tiny guy has made our souls so happy. 

                 I am constantly learning something new from him. Here are a few things that I've learned from him....

•  Do not ever let go of the things, on which you've set your eyes. 😛

• Exchanging a smile with a stranger could make his & eventually your day better!!!!

• Be your own boss. Let everyone make their plans according to your schedule.  😛

• When in doubt, just cuddle your favourite human!!!!

• Make everyone fall in love with you, with your contagious smile. 

• Language is no bar to communicate with others. Create your own language, don't follow the crowd. 😛
( In his language 'Bababa- baba-ka-ga- babapapa' )

• Bring out the child in every human around you.

• Sometimes, crying is the only solution to your life problems & to heal your heart.

• It is perfectly alright to smile for no reason. 

• Eat, sleep, play & repeat....Work can wait. 😉

• Treasure your loved ones.

In short,  you don't need to understand every single thing in life, to live it to the core!!!! 😊

Random rantings of mind

People who always criticize our actions, make our lives miserable at times with their prejudice, humiliate us & demoralize us in every possible way, are in fact the reason why we have to push our limits. 

Maybe be their opinion doesn't matter  at all, but sometimes, it is enough for us to keep going.

One may forget the exact words, but one cannot possibly forget how some person made him feel about himself. May be that feeling has to remain with us all the time,  as a constant reminder to push ourselves & to bring out the best in us.

Eventually someone's such highly opinionated words turn out to be the biggest motivator in our life.We have to keep fighting, trust our guts, and  stay faithful to our efforts. And some fine day, our efforts will prove that someone wrong!

Music & Lyrics

It is one of those days when I keep wondering , "What's the purpose of my life? Why am I even here? Am I doing anything that would be of any value to anyone? How do we measure this? How can we possibly say that, we are worth of something?"

As  these thoughts keep occupying my head, I put on my headphones & start listening to my favorite songs.

Just a few minutes into the songs, I am wandering in a  different  train of thoughts.

As I'm humming Sia's song 'chandelier' in my head, these two lines are stuck in my head :

      ' I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist......Like it doesn't exist..'

I'm humming the song lyrics to myself and a thought crosses my mind, "what would I do If there was no tomorrow? Would I hurry up and try to finish everything on my hand???? or I would just relax a little as life has been pretty much messed up lately????

I am often bored of routine. But when I have a day off from my routine, I miss my work. How & why that happens is still a question. May be my mind is used to doing work all d time & thus it doesn't want me to take a break from work.I can't even have a peaceful sleep,  If  I don't have any work to do.

I know I have to relax a little in between work & studies, but somehow I cannot.

Sitting idle is a curse I guess.Because then you just get used to it.

We have to keep moving forward no matter what. But then again there are a few days when you are so much tensed about life that, you just need to sleep over it.

Having said this, I think music is the answer to our life struggles. Music  definitely is like a form of meditation for our soul. We can get back to the rhythm of life, through the music & sometimes even so with the lyrics. How important are these for one another. Music to the lyrics & lyrics to the music.Like, both of these give a meaning to each other & to us. :) 

Is there a God ?

Not to sound all philosophical but I guess yes, he does exist. 

May be not in any tangible form as such, but yes some energy source is there that is the reason of everyone's existence & destruction at the same time. 

For me, nature is God. Because it gives me what I can't have on my own. What I cannot possibly create with my own intellect. Something that is beyond me is God. He need not have any name or form as such. 

Now if we look at this with some other perspective, every being in this world has a life. Every such living thing no matter how tiny it is, has a life system & a life cycle of its own. May be if we  really want to seek God, we will see God in these different lives. May be we are subsets of some huge system, some call it God & thus we can't see such system as a whole because we are a part of it. We as humans are tend to imagination & thus we gave this concept some human form & created Gods & Goddesses. 

Yes he is here but may be not as we want to see him/her. We are a part of him. So we might agree or disagree about his existence at the same time. :)
