Mitt gaya jab mitne wala,
Phir salam aaya toh kya aaya.
Dil ki barbaadi ke baad
Unka payaam aaya,
Toh kya aaya...

Time to be happy

We all come into this world with a destiny of our own and an agenda that we are required to live upto no matter what choices we make. Sometimes time gives us a chance and sometimes we give time a chance to lead our lives to where they need to be. We all live in a certain time frame, and we all have our death clocks ticking. In every few heartbeats we loose each minute of our life.

Time will keep ticking and our life will keep deteriorating, and it is upto us to live, live every second of it. We set the value of our worth into this world and it is our responsibility to make sure that we live every minute of our life being happy.

If it was to boil down to statistics and graphing analysis, I would certainly conclude that life is a downward facing curve, the more the time passes the less years we have to be happy. But, what we can maintain at a constant is our curve of happiness.

Every human should work towards maintaining their curve at a constant. In the end 80 or maybe 100 years down the road, on your death bed, you want to walk down the memory lane with a feeling of contempt that you didn't waste all those minutes or seconds of your life trying to keep someone else's curve of happiness constant.

I am not saying that giving happiness to others is not possible or that its a bad thing, but, tilting the angle of your curve at the cost of it is not applicable. Yes, it might sound selfish, but this is reality. You can only actually control your curve, within the constraints life puts you into. The moment you let other people's curve interfere with yours (intersect), its a downfall.

Two people whether in any sort of relationship should ideally have curves that are parallel to each other or upward sloping, if not, ones' happiness would be interrelated and interdependent to the others'.

Just to make it a bit cliche...learn to LIVE your own life, and try to take an overdose of happiness each day.

It is never too toxic to be Happoholic.

Wise words

“When I was young I asked more of people than they could give: everlasting friendship, endless feeling.
Now I know to ask less of them than they can give: a straightforward companionship.
And their feelings, their friendship, their generous actions seem in my eyes to be wholly miraculous: a consequence of grace alone.”

Albert Camus

Dard

Kehte hain ki....

"Sacche usulo pe zindagi jeena itna aasaan nahi hota,

Aur bina sangharsh ke koi maan nahi hota,

Jab tak na pade patthar pe hatode ki choth,

Tab tak patthar bhi bhagwan nahi hota"

Jab tak na pade dil ko choth koi kisi ke kaam nahi aata...koi kisi ke saath nahi aata.

No matter when we are happy or sad, we count on people to share our emotions. Whether its making us feel light hearted or feeding our ego, we indulge in it consciously inspite of knowing that we have come into the world alone and have to leave the world alone. Life goes on...the show must go on.

Just like Jagjit Singh says... 

Shehad jeene ka mila kar thoda thoda
Jaanewaalon ke liyein dil nahin tohda karte...

Rain, good times and good friends.

Sometimes, you walk down the memory lane, not just to remember, but, to relive fond memories. These memories that you have taken hours of nothingness to build, rejuvenate your soul. No matter what part of the world your in and which corner of the room you sit in, you think of these times and chuckle. Humor surrounds you. Under the burning flame of a candle, you sit on the warm carpet and hear the soothing sounds of the rain drops while sipping a cup of tea.

Sharing is always the most difficult part of a being. You need understanding people around you to give your heart the freedom to fully open itself. With friends like mine I tend to always have things to share sometimes even without words. Its a God gifted thing or even a "under development" channel which we seek within people. Not everyone comes with a willingness to develop this sort of channel with people, you have to filter out the ones that do. Thats why good friends tend to have compatible characteristics.

They say that separation never greets good friends, how do you know? Life surprises you every minute. Is it really a constant hide and seek process?

We continue our lives in the search of hidden souvenirs...
