Life's Realisation

Are you sad? Are they sad? How are they handling it? Did you cry when they left? Will you cry when they go? These words are like clichés that we hear now and then when someone dies, gets married and leaves home, goes overseas for higher studies, or even leaves home to start a fresh on greener pastures. How often do we stop to ponder on the words that we utter; especially, in sensitive situations? It is one thing to make chit chat, but what point is conversation without substance. Do we ever stop and put ourselves in their shoes before words leave our mouths?   I hope we all make a conscious effort to THINK BEFORE SPEAKING without intentionally or unintentionally adding salt to other people’s wounds.

The dawning of each new day is a miracle by itself; but with it brings change that goes unnoticed. After all with each day we are getting a day older, growing up and growing older. Age is just a number so there is no reason to take life too seriously. What is important is that we make the maximum out of life and enjoy it while we can. So make sure that you really LIVE LIFE to its fullest without being too caught up in the rat race of life because,  Yesterday is a memory, Tomorrow is a dream All you have is here and NOW. So LIVE , LOVE and LAUGH ……..

When I was a kid I had the impression that white hair equals old, but now that I have grown up and have silver threads of my own and even though they have come earlier than expected I think on a different note; as in “What the heck why not grow old gracefully?”.  Not, like colouring your hair but when you don’t maintain it and colour it regularly, it looks like hell…. What are your thoughts?   Is the salt and pepper hair look better for men than women Or is colouring better?

Wow, it’s been simply ages since I last blogged, four and a half years to be precise. I am happy to be back again but am not sure that I will have the time to blog so often like those days due to family commitments. My little angel consumes quite a bit of my time when I get back from work so time is scarce; but I enjoy every bit of life with my family and couldn’t have wanted anything different.   I will be back with a post soon.

I simply love clicking at every moment; coz each moment is special in its own way. As a result I snap away so that I can capture the moments and preserve them. Those days I was rather reluctant to snap at every turn coz it was rather a costly affair and time consuming process when it came to printing the snaps out. So I had to be selective and hope that I got a good pick. Later on came the digital camera which allowed me to click at every turn and delete snaps if they didn’t meet my fancy. The down side of the digital camera was the fact that I had to always remember to charge the camera batteries in advance as the camera used to virtually drink up all the battery energy before I could barely begin my venture. Not to mention I used to have to make it a point to take the camera around. After that came my 3.2pix camera phone – SE K800i. To me it’s all that I want and more. The picture quality and snaps are awesome and I can video off it as well which is an added bonus. After I got my SE...

We LAUGH !! We LOVE !! We CRY !! Yes, Life is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride with its UPs and DOWNs. A strange concoction but its REALITY Life goes on without any PAUSE, REWIND, or FAST-FORWARD buttons. At some point in life we have to face the inevitable however hard it may tug at our heartstrings. The more we LOVE the harder it is to let go. As a babe I was jolted with loss; but, an angel came along and loved us as his own. With a heart of gold, he was ever ready to help even a perfect stranger. He was a precious jewel to all who got to know him – He loved with all his heart, never kept grudges, devoted his life to care for others and made the most of life while it was around. I guess the heavens above all of a sudden realized that they were missing an angel and snatched him from us without while he lay sleeping. I look around and all that’s left is a picture. Everyday reality stares us in the face; but, still for all it feels like a DREAM. Nevertheless, I am really thankful f...

There was hustle and bustle in the air while the days kept growing nearer and nearer, but she still couldn’t convince myself that it was all happening before her own eyes. “You are going to miss me when I’m gone” he said, but she replied in her normal carefree spirit “You will be back on swift wings” The penny simply refused to sink in even while she was getting ready and posing for all the pre-wedding snaps; to her it felt like she was only part of the wedding retinue and nothing more. She simply couldn’t come to terms with reality, that her one and only sibling was getting married and moving out. She took her position to walk up the isle. All of a sudden she noticed some of her relations walk into church. “Wonder how they know the couple?” she thought to herself. It only took a flicker of a moment for reality to strike her. She couldn’t stop to reason with her thoughts as the initial hymn was already being played and she had to hold her composure. Every step up the isle only confirme...
