Life n its Lessons

For the past few months i have been sitting on the sidelines and observing people who surround me …

Sidelines for me is a physical state of presence and a complete mental absence from my surrounding environment .. its a way to leave my baggage aside and just let people play ball with me till i get my answers … its pretty much close to a self imposed mental solitude..where nothing really seems to matter and i am at complete peace with myself

To realize one must be aware .. to be aware one must question …although answers may not always be there.. But in time seeing beyond the surface and knowing intuitive what is right…. seems to find asylum within our hearts…

Innate life with a greater purpose in mind… higher wisdom is always a blessing

I often hear from people that they are depressed .. but don’t know what they are depressed about.. i have been there in the past and its funny now that i look back at it .. the answer is so simple.. just needs some soul searching..

When you have multiple things playing at the back of your mind .. and your heart is depressed about one .. Your mind will have a hard time concluding what really is bothering you..

Ask the divine source within … don’t rationalize with your mind .. the mind knows no better in matters of the spirit…

They say a smart man learns from his mistakes …. and a smarter one learns from mistakes other men make.. would never know where i would fit in ..

Having noticed definitions of our mistakes and the way we term them differ .. i am under the belief that it needs a great deal of thought before terming an event or an action as a mistake..If one questions my rational behind it .. i would find it difficult to find the right words to express it ….

But if one asks me about the variables and what i mean by them the answer is simple

Events or Actions in situations or with people tend to derive different results each time … and if they do what would you term a mistake and what would you consider your luck .. ?  Thus Situations or People are the variables .. So do you really term something as a mistake and not do it again ? or ..do you give it another shot ?

Well its a question only you can answer best for yourself…

Now if someone asks me that i jumped off the 5th floor of a building and did not die .. is it ok to jump off a cliff .. Well i would do a good deed and shoot him myself…

Living life to the full or Leaving out aspects of your life .. cause you had a bad run once or twice …is a choice each one makes ..

I always wondered why i like keeping a low profile out of the limelight … no matter how much i pondered over it .. i never seemed to reach a conclusion…  till i was driving to bandra a fine evening back in time…some moron decided to switch on his high beam and fog lights ..  as i drove past him the lights blinded me for a moment.. i slowed down and parked the car at a corner .. rubbed my eyes till i could see well again ..

The thought of being blinded freaked me out for a moment .. i am not the kind who likes walking into the abyss every now and then…. an occasional stroll works just fine for my sense of adventure..

As i reached my destination at reclamation i pulled the car to the usual spot and waited for a friend to arrive …. The sky was cloudy but it had a strange yellow hue to it with the rays of the setting sun.. the wind blew gently and the waters calm … its the kind of thing that makes you realize the goodness of life …

i sat there on the bonnet of my car pondering with my thoughts .. thinking about the events i have been a part of over the past few days … and the conversations .. some sane but mostly insane .. Till a thought flew by me …When one gets too much attention from another .. or when too much glamour is showered upon one … it tends to blind you .. very similar to the event that occurred with me on the way to bandra … its only human nature to take things for granted .. its a good thing to always stop and re evaluate the world around you .. you never know who you might just be walking over ..

To Catch a Star one must be a dreamer .. i am just a realist

With time i have come to realize … when you argue with reality no matter how you look at it .. you will always lose at the end….Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead….

There is no way to define a righteous path in life … But there is always a way to define your own path ..

So whatever floats your boat .. Reality floats mine

Its about time i finish this … Been a draft for a few months now ..

Criticize yourself more then others do… But Appreciate yourself more then others ever will .. Unless you don’t appreciate yourself .. others never will..

Anyone interested in self-development would have an open mind, have the ability to question the status quo, and find their own truth beyond the barrage of misinformation and ingrained beliefs of our society.

Anyways let get to the point here … Have you ever tried to change yourself ?

Most folks i know tend to apply a barrage of changes after major events in their lives …i have too and when i look back at it .. how many of those changes did i actually accomplish ? An individuals growth into life is a slow abstract process .. while change is a slow drawn out process … Abstract or Drawn out one needs to accept a fundamental fact rome wasn’t built in a day.. nor was or will your life ..

Here is what works best for me .. Make Two Lists

a) All the Things you are good at i.e Good Qualities/Habits etc
b) All the Things you suck at i.e Bad Qualities/Habits etc

Now Prioritize list B in a order you think is best for you

Every day look at that list .. First List A and give yourself a pat on your back …and then List B .. The day you decide to apply your first change take the last item on list B and give it a shot once you accomplish it.. give yourself a break for a few weeks and see if the change actually sticks around .. a change is not a change unless it sticks .. if it doesn’t its just a phase .. Once you think you are ready for more take the second last item .. and keep going up the list .. time is not a essential factor here .. the race is only with yourself so don’t try and benchmark yourself..

The Rational behind addressing your list backwards is simple … One needs to learn to crawl before you can even attempt to walk ..

We meet new people every day of our life’s … Often it doesn’t take more then one meeting to form an opinion about someone… Not that it matters who forms what opinion about myself .. but it does matter what i form about someone.. For the most part i refrain from forming an opinion about someone .. But eventually with time when i do .. i try my best to see the good qualities and ignore the rest as long as it doesn’t harm my soul…

Everyone is special in their own sweet way.. and deserve respect .. For the most part 5 out 10 individuals will surprise you with the hidden qualities they poses…. which often we tend to ignore post are initial opinions ..

i have burnt my hands more often then i have gained dear friends by opting for this route but when i weigh what i have gained over the years against the number of scars which were left behind .. its a small price to pay for having people who watch my back…

Sometimes you just wish if you didn’t know things the way they were …..
Someone once said everything that glitters is not gold … its so true when i look back at people who brushed pass my life over the years .. No matter how cautious i am about selecting people who surround me … i too make mistakes all the time… its one of those unfortunate perks of being a animal that evolves with time ..

There are times when confidence in a human doesn’t know when to put a lid on that mouth … In reality words that defy logic are non existent ..in philosophy there are a dime and a dozen..

if you are true to yourself and the world around you … its a funny sight to see people trip over their own traps …Keeps me amused….

Want to catch a lie … see if an explanation is given out without a question being raised .. and if that explanation defies logic …i am not saying will always .. but works for the most part .. Leave the emotions aside and enjoy the show

Warren Buffet Once Said :

“Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.”

A rather crude principle to apply to your personal life… But if you ask me honestly sometimes using your head over the heart is the only logical move unless one has suicidal tendencies..

Our Hearts definitely do have a role to play in our lives… But application need not be in all areas or situations…

Each one of us fights this internal battle everyday of our lives.. Where the thoughts that form a decision or an action tend to flow from two distinct sources. Finding the right mix leading to an end result is a rather complex process which may vary based on individual personality or ever volatile human nature.

its a very rare sight that i see a well balanced decision or an action taken by myself or people around me.. After all human stupidity knows no bounds

For years i tired to find the right balance but i either manged to get ahead of myself with my head or behind myself with my heart..

Sure i made mistakes … But with every mistake i picked up the pieces and learnt some painful lessons….. strive for the balance don’t expect it … expectations sometimes can make one wait a lifetime…

Leading a life using ones head all the time … Usually lands one up in a singled out self centered world of your own.

Leading a life using ones heart all the time … Usually lands one up down in the dungeons somewhere with plenty of rose petals showered around you.

Maybe just applying one flow of thoughts to a particular area or situation seems the way to go …

My heart tells me .. Umm i crave a smoke …

My head tells me .. smoking kills son ..

i’ll take my chances with my head this time …
