Hug Life!!

Last 1 month was really tough.....not because i had to face personal challenges...but because of the hectic jam-packed schedule but as it is often said -Life is a roller coaster.....we have ups and downs...we have different phases.....and we should face all these phases with our arms open...equal grace....these stress levels....high rides...give us a chance to enjoy the lulls and pauses. Challenges are what make life interesting and fervor to over come it makes it complete and meaningful. Fridays and Saturdays will loose their sheen if we have no Mondays to worry about.

People often question reality shows, we accuse them as mock….programmed act more then performance. I have no rights to condemn or argue, rather I will just present my thoughts. At the end of the day what really matters is - Are those acts able to connect? We watch a dozen of movies in an year...and we appreciate them because of the "WoW factor" we find them in these movies....the performances...the dispora around it...and aura it creates for us to sumerge. If we feel the same for reality shows like "Dance India Dace", "Music ka maha Mukabla", "India has got Talent", "Sare ga ma" or any other show in the same line - we should appluad it the same way we appreciate Amir Khan for his ‘RDB” or “3 Idiots” or SRK for “Chakde” or “Swades”...more because the performances are coming from common men like you and me. It gives us a ray of optimism, a life time opportunity to ordinary people like us to showcase what we can live up to.

Fantasy...imagination...ideas are the seeds for fertile land called ART. They reflect upon life which is much more than what we have been living - that’s precisely the reason i advocate to live in dreams... imaginations... fantasies as you get a chance to meet something unmet...unrealized…unaccomplished. After all we all live for happiness. I remember an interview when i was asked what is your motto in life? I said what I believe in- "My motto in life is to be happy and contended and spread that happiness across"

Imagine getting a medal which you always aspired for...visualize having your favorite meal from the warm hands of you mother...when you haven't got chance to even meet her in months....fantasize a hug from the love of you life....who is so near to you heart but yet so far......it gives great comfort, pleasure, a sense of triumph and a drive to remain connected as they are the ones who complete you....your mere idea of existence

We should thank our parents for bring us to the level what we really are. They did what they could do best at that given point of time. They spent restless nights to make sure we get a sound sleep.

5 years ago i underwent major illness for a month...lost over 12 Kgs.....couldn't digest even juice...lost my sleeps in nights as I didn’t have had anything else to do in day either..it was none other then my MOM who held me, hugged me, spent hundred of hours caressing my head, enlightening that ray of hope that i will get well soon, wiping off my tears that you will just be fine.

How can i forget those days when my mother used to wake me up at 4 AM in morning to get ready for my Maths coaching class... not leaving behind a single day where i missed my coaching class because my mother kept sleeping.....that shows how to perform responsibility. She was and still she is a working lady....showcasing an exemplary balance b/w her professional work...domestic work….family. She used to sleep after i go to bed...and used to get up before i open my eyes....wonder whether she got a chance to enjoy sound 6 hour sleep. Tears come out of my eyes when i lookback at her struggle …dedication..comittment..ownership...adaptibility...optimism towards life.

All those scholastic gurus who teach how to balance life...how to value life....how to love your work...should take peek at the role model named “MOTHER”. Salute to this SOUL of kindness....love...passion...for making us what we are today. Thank you MOM.


"Count the garden by blossomed flower with beatles buzzing around, never by fallen leaves;
Acknowledge your life with the blessings and smiles you receive, never by tears rolled out"
Tears have rollen out because your eyes had no place for them to stick by....smiles are contagious, they remain forever!!
