What is life?

Episode 3: Friday, 30 April, 2010, 7:24 pm

Came out of hibernation.

Many people have spent their entire life searching the answer to the above question. Some went to the Himalayas, some went to Haridwar & some adopted totally the different way to find out the answer, but no one could claim to understand the meaning to the truth. This blog of mine is more about the philosophical aspects of my experience in my life & the relationship I hold with the people in it.

Most of my friends see e as a very sensitive & an emotional person. But to the contrary I see myself as a straight-forward guy who always speak mind & expect the same with the people whom I interact with. To my surprise, today people act so well that they can anytime give the top actors a run for the money. Behaving and showing what you are not is very simple & a buzz these days. Well, on a very serious note, life is following your heart, speaking your mind, & to be true to everyone. As simple as it may seem, on the contrary , it is very hard to practice. And I have seen many people practicing it initially, but later by rationalize it by saying 'Life is a b***h. I was not like this. It changed me'. (a complete aawww)

Being the youngest in my family, I am grown up with alot of affection & care from everyone in my family. Till my eighteen, I never got the chance to encounter the mammoth size question, which I guess every individual does at least once in his life. But later I too encountered some major incidents which taught me some great lessons. In few incidents. I too felt shadowed by the acrid experiences. But life never lost its charm as I have learnt to thank the difficult time which helps me to grow. I am thankful to God that he didn't give me everything well in advance that I desired or what would I look forward to.

Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living & loving. The relationships we enter, stay in or end teach us necessary lessons. It is easy to be negative about past mistakes & unhappiness. But it is much more healing to look at ourselves and the past in the light of experience, acceptance & growth. Every occurrence has a reason for it. It is not a good luck or bad luck. We get ill, we get injured(remembering my accident that happened some five months back), we meet strangers, get acquainted, become friends, we hate, we lose; everything has a reason. If there are no happenings in the life, it will be like a smooth road but to nowhere. If someone hurts you or breaks your heart, forgive them. Because they have taught about the trust and to be cautious to whom you should open your heart to. But if someone loves you, love them back, because they are teaching you to love them who were total strangers & they are allowing you to open your heart to feel the things which you can never feel without them. we need to choose one person in life and make it work. I have also seen the time when one needs to stand alone for whatever one is, for his dreams, his priorities and at times he may need to change & re prioritize and sacrifice. But the appreciation in the opportunity to grow should never be forgotten.

I have seen people misunderstanding my straight forwardness to arrogance, selfishnesss or being immature but for me life is not to stand in someone's shadow by agreeing what perception they make for me. For those who really know & believe me will never accuse me of being arrogant or immature. Life is what you think about it & you make it. You can shape it anything you wish. Create your own goals in life and then go out and live it. Colour the life with the best colours you have. Colour it red, green, yellow, blue.

Live more, complain less, grab the opportunity & remember that everything happens for a reason- a reason which helps you to cherish the things which you desired once & to learn a lesson & from what you missed. All that matter at the end is you are happy.

All I can say about life is - I ENJOY IT
