Contended with others, but hungry for more...!!

It’s pretty strange. A few years from now, I had a lot to blog about. It seemed as if all the negative facets of life hovered around me. But it’s been some time that I really didn’t pen down a few words in this space. Why? That’s a question that I ask myself almost every day and that’s why today I am going to try to reason out the delay in getting back to what I do best – blog!!

I am not denying the fact that I’d have to go through stringent times, but these so called snags have taught me to smile at their face whenever they raised their hoods at me. I never thought that I’d say this, but this part of my life, this little part right here, is called Happiness.
It took me some time but it happened at the right time that I have started to value relationships. Amidst family, relatives, friends and colleagues, I feel I am living the dream. Known to be a laid back and rather self-caring individual, it’s been more than a journey for me to reach a stage wherein I feel I not only have grown of age but also developed an incandescent personality. Most of my life, I had been a pretty calculative and meticulous person which always made my thoughts go skeptical against any random decision taken. This insatiable attitude of mine earned me leisure and peace of mind but never helped me in expanding friendship base.

Probably, the twist of fate ameliorated things around for this male chauvinist and reserved attitude of mine to change. Well, I could accredit my sister for bringing about this change in me. In a way, she set the paradigm of an ideal friend to me. Her approach earned her friends who were ready to die for her. On close diagnosis, I discovered that she had made herself accessible to her friends for any silly requirement. And somewhere that’s how she made an impression and touched the hearts of many.

The lesson learnt here is that there’s no point in fighting with near and dear ones. We can never be sure of the skin that we live in. We never know the value of people until they exist no more in our lives. And then the trauma of the guilt is endless as you live with it for the rest of your life.
Humans can enact multiple emotions. One needs to be reasonable with others but at the same time be unreasonable with oneself. The reasonability transfers positive energy to others, makes them love you for the person that you are. Some return the favour, a few others feel indebted for life at your generosity while the rest enjoy the moment, laugh and forget about it. They may never feel the need to meet you again but if they ever did, they would surely return a smile.

But hey, let’s not forget the ‘unreasonability’ part as it has its own relevance in self improvement. The guerilla tactic for success is to be never satisfied with what you have and always crave for more. Maslow’s theory could have fallen in place provided he skipped the self actualization stage of the pyramid. The cliché is to stay hungry and seek opportunities to hunt the food for thought every single time.

Another Chance....

I wish I had another chance
to change this state of trance
If time gave me a choice
I’d want you to hear my voice

The words I’ve ever said
the tears that you’ve shed
wish I could get back in time
set those days in sync and time

I know and it’s true
It’s too late to set things right
Gone are the days of blue
everything is reduced to a repentant plight

Thoughts of you rains in my mind
and continues to rewind
I tried to battle it out with force
still could not move on in due course

Destiny planned an ugly twist
I’m still here but you no more exist
Life ends but sweet memories never die
cause as long as I live, it’s never good bye.

Half Empty or Half Filled

Good morning
Wake up, stop snoring,
Open the windows, feel the breeze.
See the swaying trees.
Enjoy this moment for a while
Turn around, give me a smile.

Sounds cheesy rather than cute; it was an attempt to make her morning pleasant. So I thought this petite ode would make her eyes gleam & her face smile.

To my consternation, I get a reply, “Those who think they know everything are very annoying to those of us who do”.

As always, I was left oblivious at her supercilious response. How does she always manage to maintain a track record in making a perfect gesture seem a paltry effort?
I know, I may probably never end up finding an answer to this dubious question but I am definitely not naïve to this situation. There have been frustrating times when I actually did google to find out different avenues of killing a person with a dry and sarcastic behavior. Believe me, if you are a person who has a self made esteem, a poignant mind and an “obviously superior to girls” stance, you ought to stay away from this lass. After spending more than four years with her, I can say so, with confidence.

You must be wondering, “Despite knowing her so well, why am I still in touch with her?”

Hey, it’s not that I am not man enough or that I don’t have a pride to protect. I am not only a chauvinist but also an egoistic person at the same time. But there’s something about this girl that attracts me to her. They say that still waters run deep. Most people (including me for some point of time at least) fail to perceive that real beauty doesn’t lie in a personality; it lies in a clear conscience.

Her approach to life is practical and within the boundaries of possibilities but her obnoxious methods of presenting it, sometimes challenges the mental capacity of a commoner.

Still not convinced? Let us just revisit my ode against her hard hitting statement. The world, consumed with pollution, is headed towards global warming and I am talking about swaying trees and cool breezes. But her statement that talented people find boastful ones abhorrent makes a lot of sense in reality.

Now you see, we ignore the rationality as we are already turned off by discourtesy. We always see the glass that’s half empty. Ever thought about considering it as half filled?
