THE SOUL SUBSTANCE…. A palanquin of endless love

2012-06-05T06:17:00.000-07:00

That love at first sight,

The touch as smooth as a feather’s flight;

That selfless care,

The relationship that no one else can share…

Those endless worries and restless nights,

You always turned them sunny and bright;

Those sleepless and dark nights,

With lullabies, you always filled in blissful lights….

You are the substance of my soul;

In weak circumstances, you are the one I’ll ever call,

In all those scary and frightening crisis;

I would always look up to you for your endless affection and bright advices,

The time would slip away like sand;

But I know MOM; you’ll never leave my hand ….. !

EMOTIONS – “A language beyond just a language”

2012-05-22T02:06:00.001-07:00

Unless you are isolated or living on an island, where you are populated only by yourself, you will certainly interact with people every in every moment of your life and this is how relationships develop over time and after a certain point there is no looking back…

Along with the relationships we have something else called “emotions” building up which get intensely culminated … Emotions express the very feelings of humans which becomes very difficult to cope up with in adverse situations… Emotions are the most delicate of all that can ever be handled… Emotions describe the state of the human nature at a particular point of time and can put one into a bad phase if handled improperly….

Well, relationships develop over time but they need continuous interaction in order to grow. This is because relationships cannot be left static. A good relationship is always a ‘dynamic one’. We have so many relationships building everyday.

Right from the day 1 of your existence.

First love of our lives – Mom

First hero ever – Dad

Best friend one could ever have – Sibling

Best lamp in darkness – Teacher

Best partners in everything – Friends

These are the purest form of relationships, extremely loving and cherished ones throughout our lives… There is so much to learn from every relationship… Sacrifice, compromise, happy, sad, delightfulness, low, right and wrong… Through relationships we get to know ourselves on a higher level as we come to know what others think about us and the way we are…

Managing relationships means a wholesome of ‘temperance’ and ‘the willingness’…

Emotions form the greatest part of any relationship. You build up a relationship or ‘break it’ because of ‘those emotions’ inside you…

For that matter;

A mother and a daughter relationship: They share a special bond with all the complex emotions- anger, resentment, and hesitation sometimes and off course ‘love’… There hasn’t been anyone as ‘selfless’ as a mom and as loving as she is always… But there are times when everything seems against you and start hating that ‘selfless shell of love – Mother’… That’s the seesaw of our feelings… The emotions of the ‘other side of you’ keep flowing and everything seems so bitter… Apart from creating relationships, it is much more of importance as to how you keep the magic of the ‘bond’ you share and how do you ‘manage those relationships’.

Mother-daughter share a love-hate kind of relationship because they talk more and they talk more about ‘untold topics’… Therefore, they may be close but the risk of offending each other is much more….

Daughters are always ‘little’ in their eyes… Mother advices her daughter but the daughter feels it to be criticism… Daughters tell mothers not to advice but a mother being selfless cannot stop herself and this causes the daughter to develop discomfort in dealing with her mother…. With this feeling, daughter starts keeping things under cover – ‘secrets’, because she fears of disapproval… Withholding information becomes the daughter’s way to gain power…

When one goes wrong, the other has to do something to keep the magic of the relationship alive… If mothers can’t stop advising, then daughters should learn to lighten the situation to diffuse the tension instead of taking it the wrong way…

Mother - “A mom’s heart knows no boundaries..

Just limitless love, care and affection.

Daughter – “A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the future”

Emotions are tied to relationships.. We love the relationship not because of the facts but because of how we feel when we are into that relationship. All the thoughts which you had together in the relationship took place with emotions while experiencing them… It happens a lot many times that you want to share the experience of any relationship at the point when you are still able to feel the emotions vividly… This is why emotions are more real than thoughts and managing them is a great task for anyone… The more you manage the emotions, the more stronger and happier a relationship is…

Book of Memories

2012-05-21T00:47:00.000-07:00

The happiness of first day,

It all made merry to say.

The good books and teachers;

They all were amazing preachers…

My old friends,

Funny moments,

Weird photos;

Of good times and bad times make me now smile…

Though there was a little pain,

It was a good life I was able to maintain!!

The excitement of holidays,

And the thrill of exploring ‘new ways’.

It was all collected in my ‘book of memories’;

Which I will keep like more than just a ‘treasury’…!!

Strange...

2012-05-20T23:20:00.000-07:00

For the fact that people change,

You were something else;

Now you say I am some else.

I said you were the one always;

Now you say I am no one anyways!

For the fact that people change,

I was into you forever;

You left me standing however.

I said you’ll always be the one;

Now you say I was never the one!

For the fact that people change,

I felt you everywhere;

Now you see me and say I am nowhere.

I said I can give up the world for you;

And u Bid me an adieu!

For the fact that people change,

I always felt that to be strange!!

CELEBRATE LIFE…

2012-05-19T02:49:00.001-07:00

Celebrations are those magical moments that give our souls a great sense of happiness and pleasure. Celebrations are a way of realizing the amount of happiness one has pursued in doing something… ‘Celebration’ means being happy within and spreading it across…

There is nothing as innocent as a baby’s cry and as selfless as a mother’s love and affection… There is so much more around to fall in love with… Every morning we wake up to see the beautiful sun rising upon and see the day fall to dusk with a hope to see the same the coming day… There are so many more reasons to be happy than reasons for being unhappy.

Human nature always longs for ‘a little more’ … Correct, but being satisfied brings contentment, and contentment means there is no space for longing… Which means no reason to be unhappy and this means ‘you have all the reasons for being happy’ … contentment surely is an essential ‘ingredient’ to make ‘life’…

Life gives few lows and downs, just like the ‘books’ keep getting difficult with each grade you pass, that’s the way life gives you the difficulties too… The next one would be a little more bigger than the previous one but that’s how you keep getting better just like one masters education with each passing grade… This is not the time to think ‘why me’ but say ‘why not if I can learn something’ …

Life teaches the hard way but it is ‘its own way’ … 'The world is still on' is the proof that there is more of good in the world than bad … We have all the reasons to celebrate the goodness in everything and not the reasons for not celebrating because the goodness is accompanied with bad…

"Celebrating life means celebrating yourself in all those moments in which you breathe the fresh air around you, a ray of hope is still within you and you know that there will be no tomorrow like today …"

Amazing lines;

Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo, jo hai sama.. Kal ho na ho… J

Celebrate life, celebrate living…

Cheers!! J

RELATIONSHIPS.... Shared joy is a double joy and shared sorrow is half the sorrow!

2012-05-18T02:26:00.000-07:00

In life, there is hardly anything as difficult as walking alone… Having someone to lean upon would make even the bitterest of the blows of life’ tolerable’… “Relationships are reflections of relationships within yourself”. Relationships are as vital to our health like the nutrition and regular exercises are or perhaps ‘even more’…

‘Human relationships are incredibly complex’ and people today make it even more by taking them for granted…. It is extremely difficult to build up a relationship and so very awfully easy to get away with it, So to have a joyful relationship it is important that it is built on strong grounds and values.

True words by someone – “People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges”

People share different relationships with different people in their own lives. Each of us would have casual acquaintances; we do know them but not too much. There is a certain rapport you would share with your acquaintances….

With growing popularity of ‘social networking’, people often have more of casual acquaintances. Often at times you’ve never met them but you know them as ‘someone who knows someone whom you too know’ J !!

Then, we have friends, people we communicate regularly with. All of us have friends at our workplaces, neighborhoods, or any other place you regularly spend time at.. We have less friends than acquaintances!

We have close friends, the ones with whom we would share the deepest of secrets and the things happening in one’s life at a deeper level, no matter what. Most of us do not have many of close friends, a very few and among them are the ones who would be even closer than the other ‘close friends’….

Turning an acquaintance into a friend can be really hard. To build a healthy relationship, it is important that we develop a healthy pattern of building it from its base itself with a strong foundation. Building healthy patterns early in a relationship will build a strong foundation for the long run.

People often have the tendency to please and impress people in the early stages of the relationship and they often tend to be deceptive and artificial just for the sake of taking the relationship one step ahead but they forget that they are making walls and not bridges and one day they would trap themselves alone in those walls with no one to lean upon! Trust and honesty is an integral part of any relationship.

Be it love, affection, work or any other kind of a relationship, there are endless reasons why few fail to connect and maintain their relationships with others and it is ironic that people do know the reasons but still act ‘stubborn’ and make the relationships even more complicated and worse.

Do not stop even for a while and think to do something that would improve the relationship – IT’S ‘THE’ TIME NOW!

For a relationship to be going, it is important that one respect the changes that the other one has brought just for the sake of beholding the relationship. This goes for any relationship, be it a couple, corporate relationships, friends, any social relationship for that matter. “Changes are to be respected.”

Relationships can bring both joy and deep stress to us… It is upon us how we respond and carry them on. ‘Communication’ is a very important aspect in any relationship. If we do not communicate well, then the relationship is surely to suffer. Communication is important because it creates an emotional connection which would animate us and help flourish..

Relationship is not just a bond, but a commitment that one does to another one. A happy relationship is one in which there are all the colors of life… The relationship gets better with every passage of “worse” times that are shared together… Truly, “A shared joy is double the joy and a shared sorrow is half the sorrow”. All you need is some patience and the art of holding up on whenever you get low at times and a little temperance to make the relationship last forever....

‘Relationships flourish only when you nurture them and a lot many efforts go in while doing so’….
