Life n its Lessons

I was away from home for a long time … And now that i am back home. New York Feels a world away …I met some very interesting people had some great times ..

Every once in a while i would have a few drinks with a friend of mine.. Some one i lived with for a while too

I am a good listener i dunno how true is but many people say so .. And knowing myself a lil over the past 26 yrs i do know people can stretch my patience to extreme limits and get away with it

So anyways .. Every time we would have a few drinks this guy would go on and on about his times while he was in south africa. The Prestige he carried, The Power he commanded and the Life he once lived. Its was ok a couple of times listing to the same stories, Everyone has the right to cherish old memories

As months passed by … So did years.. I Kept listening to the same tales time and time again. Every time he narrated the story i saw a light myst in his eyes and a depth in his emotions that expressed his craving for the life he left behind once….

I never had the courage to tell him. Always felt my blunt words would be a little to harsh….So i kept giving him a patient ear for the longest of times… If you can help one feel a little light and better why not ? Goodwill although may go unnoticed but never goes unrewarded in life ..

As i look backed at my conversations with him one night before i was going to bed .. I came to a conclusion he was living his present … In his past ..

You may have been the prince of Babylon once upon a time.. But this is your life now .. Deal with it…. It doesn’t get better it doesn’t get worse unless you choose to make it so

Look back at life for answers from experiences
Look back at life to cherish the good times

Don’t Look back and Live in a time gone by ….

Ah boy i wish i could have some decent sleep tonight. After a hard day doing chores at home … Cooking .. Cleaning … Walking my dog .. i am still not tired

Its funny its been years since i have been home alone. The last time i was home alone my house was a beer bar and a public make out joint but that was 5 yrs back … Things have moved for me since then quite a bit. Just didn’t feel like inviting people over .. would much rather spend time at home all by myself

As i tried to go to bed tonight a strange thought struck me .. Am i missing something ? Or have taken something for granted .. Wandering thoughts it struck me …

You know what with all the hustle and bustle in day to day life.. One Tends to take their loved ones around for granted.. Its not intended but most of us tend to do it. Not Once do we look around us and thank and appreciate the people around us. Your Parents for bringing you up … Your Siblings for being there for you when you need them the most … Your loved ones for being supportive and considerate in times of need..

Think about it … Ones Parents usually bug you to death about taking care .. i know my mom does. She hates me smoke and my regular diet

i never had a chance to say goodbye to my dad .. My last meet with him was’nt too pleasant either
He very well knew he did not have much time… But yet not once did he call me back home while i was in new york. Was that a sacrifice or was that a fathers love to ensure my success ?

Everyone you stand around one day will go … You may go before them .. Who Knows ???

Appreciate the people you hold bonds with…. For they Deserve it the most.. More then anything you are doing now or ever will….

“Thanks Pa.. I miss you”

Once i was a child … And life was so simple It started with the morning sun and the school bus run… Day’s used to be all fun ..With no worries of life’s turns Once i was a child… And Life was so Much Fun Not much of a poet heh .. But i try I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and she happened to mention to me ” its simple to be happy but its difficult to be simple” That line caught my attention .. i paused for a moment and gave it a thought. Its Said life is a Circle .. But when i put this line into perspective i came to a conclusion that life is actually an oval and we just spread ourselves over it

We Start off in life with a very small patch to cover … From the Age of 1-12 all we seem to worry about is Toys, School, Home Work and Play…. As Time Passes by and adolescence hits you between 13 and 16 tend to spread yourself a little bit more to cover love and your interests in the opposite sex…. From 16 - 21 You get done with school and then you hit college spread yourself a little more to make room for love n friends along your ambitions towards your future… From 22 till 26 you spread yourself a little more towards your work and your wants in life which seem to be never ending …as the years fly by…

Being 26 i hear this quite often from friends ..” Life is a drag” “I am Spread too Thin”

Before i go any further the above time line is not based on my evolution so far .. Its my Generalized Opinion
Yes not an open book yet in many ways

Anyways well my Advice to all my friends has always been … Of course your spreading yourself too thin.. your Human after all one can only do so much .. Compromises have to be made since ..You do have 1 more area to spread upon in the coming years before you start unwinding your life

Between 26 and 46 All you are doing is spreading yourself a little more to settle down and have kids…. And spread yourself even more with work to full fill wants of yourself and your family …

Well Between 21 to 46 till your wants take shape at every stage of life .. Life is only as complicated as you make it ..

At very junction of life you have questions .. You have tricky situations .. And for the most part people either Ignore them and move on with their baggage or End up like a 2 month old puppy chasing his own tail in their quest for answers..

I have done both … My Conclusion was

Some Questions are best left unanswered and some mysteries (Women) are best left unsolved

Some Situations you can help … So move your lazy ass and address it ..
Some Situations you cannot do anything about as its not in your control … So stand the test of time ..

Worry is interest paid on trouble before its due …

Strive for self improvement and the betterment for others around you .. Perfection is an Illusion ..

Try the above and maybe your life in those years has a chance to be a lil less complicated… Hey don’t look at me for answers i am lost too

When One Gets to 46 … i assume ..One Winds down anyways …Kids get married .. You get old and Weak.. All that stretching in life leaves with wrinkles all around your body.. Yes even your ass won’t be spared .. So stare at it now all that you want .. lmao

This is a famous chinese question.

A philosopher once dreamed of being a butterfly and then woke up. And he asked himself, am I a man in a butterfly’s dream or was I a butterfly in a man’s dream.

Who Gives a damm … its a Dream

Shit happens in Life … So Does a Shift

An Individual once a Boy is now a man …
A Man once Poor is now Rich ….
A Soul Who was in Love is now Out of it ..

Such is Life .. A Shift Happens

Give in a Little or Stand to Lose it All … Hope you get my drift

Someone may touch your heart and feel your soul like none other … but yet one may let go of em if one doesn’t feel right.

Life Marches Ahead … Irrespective of your feelings. One needs to march with it
