This time of year!

-
It seems like ages that I wrote something, except for business emails or official documents. Ahh, was it really the busyness or was I trying to escape from writing something, since now a lot of people have access to this place? As usual, I don't have an answer to these questions.

It's that time of year, for which I used to wish that the calendar skips a couple of days, alas that doesn't happen. I always wondered why am I the way I am. When people count days to their birthday, I just wish the calendar to skip this one day, or just want the day to pass by as normal as it can. And in order to avoid anything and everything, had started taking trips around my birthday. And as always, have so many sweet people and friends around me, who want to make it a special for me. People whom it's difficult to say no to, not because they are like that, but, yeah the yes will bring that smile on their faces. 

I could never figure out the reason behind these things. Or is that this day has so many things attached to it, which nobody would ever wish to remember? Things which are neither painful nor sad, but still too uncomfortable to be remembered. 

Guess that's the only birthday wish i can have, to get over this very feeling, and be able to be excited about it exactly the way the near and dears are! Amen! 

Cheers

Just a few days ago, Cute Li'le Angel happened to be in the town on a business trip, and as usual, we almost fought the hectic schedule, city weather and the traffic to have a meeting for a couple of hours. Somewhere we both knew, that there is no formality of meeting, instead more a need to see each other, our own way to cope up with the fast moving life!  As usual, our conversation was much beyond about the life we are living, and more focussed on deeper thoughts. Obviously, we know each other like back of a hand, and still, love to know each other more when it comes to how we are evolving as a human being in this world. And, every interaction we have, inspires a blog here!  This time, the thing that remained was, "Learnings in life" over a cup of tea.  Guess she was not very sure, that even at this age, we are still learning about how to conduct ourselves. But for me, I was pretty sure, i have a long way to go when it comes to learning things. For me, it is more about ...

You Are More Than the Mind

 'The real "you" is different from those thoughts. You are reacting to every thought that visits your mind. By reacting to all of them, you are paying attention to your thoughts and feeding them, allowing them to exist. That is how a troubled mind creates a chaotic world.' This is an excerpt from a book am reading. A book which happens to be a fiction, and i didn't expect to read such a deep line in that one. It made me think, ponder upon even after days of reading the same. This is something that i learnt during Vipassana. My understanding of this is "Things keep on happening around you, whether they are good, bad or negative positive for you, completely depends on how your brain processes it, which is again dependent on what have you fed it in terms of thoughts and inputs (like reading, watching, etc).  They say, we create a version of reality in our mind, which is a product of actual happenings, our thoughts/ideas and our reactions to them. What you pay at...

An year of Metamorphosis!

Since the last post, life has been overhauled. It's been six months, and life is completely different now. A lot has happened in these six months, and I cannot relate to myself anymore. The person I was before April and the person I am now are two completely different human beings! Definitely, I have become more boring than earlier.  This year has been the year of firsts! Many things happened for the first time with me, and I did many new things.  Getting fired Vipassana Living in negative temperatures with basic means  Not planning anything  Noble silence for 9 days (Trust me the best time of life) Living without a phone, internet, and family  Lived at an altitude of 3500+ mtrs from sea level  Rushed mom to emergency for cardiac care Went on a trip with my Angel Welcomed a baby girl in the family. The first daughter after me! When she was born, no one in the family knew what rituals we had for a baby girl, as the ones who did all of them when I was born ar...
