The imperfect me...

Perfection-how we chase that illusion all our lives!!!! Only to realize at the end...it was never to be.

So what do we do???
:-) Acknowledge the imperfection in ourselves....and live it!!! Enjoy it and still be at peace, happy within!!! That happiness is perfect and so very difficult to achieve.

Ever since a child is born , he is told- do this and don't do that!!! This is good(towards perfection) and that is not so good. He is moulded into a person  who is bound by constraints. Most often he ends up never truly living his own life without these ideas constraining his mind and freewill.

And it doesn't ends up with growing up....Even adults thinking,mature and healthy ones are told they are wrong here and should be doing that.

Just if we come up with a very basic question - WHY???? Nobody will answer it because perhaps there isn't any answer to this actually. How should things be- There never was a manual on that. It's all our personal,very human perception.And it can be WRONG !!!!

Just if we try to understand this and give space to other people's perception...there can
exist a certain degree of harmony among people and in their own life.That harmony in one's  life is what we seek to achieve knowingly or unknowingly by various means . Some are lucky enough to even figure it out but oh, is that ever to be??

One life...it's just only one life we got. Whatever we do it should be true...with soul belief and no regrets!

........lies in the eyes!!!

Knowing a person can change the way you feel about her. It is all about the perception you draw by seeing them and then once you get to know them you know their background, their likes, their thoughts and then their dreams and expectations and that can affect the way you start thinking or seeing them in a different light and then even feeling about them.

Saying that it also means the thinking changes over the time we are associated with someone. In the beginning if they have been very sweet and trustworthy one incident can mark them as not so sweet and not as trustworthy.....even if you fail to acknowledge that owing to your doubts and loyalty , deep in you heart you will have that feeling of uncertainity. On the other hand if someone seems flighty or not so caring at first glance, you get to know them to be sincere and very warm later on.   May be we should give the 'benefit' of doubt to people in life and never assume anything. Form an opinion only if you get to know the person very well and then too have some space for the human tendency of being unpredictable.

To Dad With Love...

This one is for ma' Dad on Father's day!!!

Okay it is a bit delayed than that.....but is there really only a single day when we can thank our parents for being what they have been in our life!!! We can actually do that every single moment of the day...'coz that's how important they are. Blessed are the souls who know the love of parents which can never be compared to any love in this world!!!

We being a part of them....they obviously are a part of us!!!! And let's face it..each of us have maximum traits which belongs to one of our parents.We aquire their habbits, their thoughts; their experiences in the world shapes our understanding long before we are actually living them for our own.

Somedays ago, i met my father's childhood friend for the first time and he commented that "I look much like my father!" It is a surprise how people relate you to your parents by just seeing you. I have realized I am carrying my father and mother in me....and they can never be away from me.
We all are a reflection of our parents and everything they have ingrained in us during our up-bringing. Each parent wants the best for their kids and hence, kids must remember to bring out the best they have learnt from their parents.

Love u eachday forever...Dear Dad!!!

Addicted and Loving it!!!

"Eating is a habbit" that was said by my friend today. I will add "addictive" too.

Recently, I have discovered that once you start eating you start craving all the different tastes which were craved by your palate but you dared not eat it for so very many reasons like diet, hygiene, affordability etc. And as i commented that these days i feel like eating everything which i see or even think about , my friend commented in her "univocal" manner that you actually are developing a "habbit" of eating. That thought actually struck me because unconciously i was really doing that.

Also, I must think that there are a number of people who actually are "addicted" to eating just like any other addiction. Just because it's not a very obvious people don't recognize the effects as easily.

I am not fat or a huge eater!!!Quite the contrary... But i like to watch what i eat. For the simple reason that i wouldn't like to be hindered by ill-health. Seeking a perfect health is definitely a chase.....seldom acheived. But what's wrong in trying. Having a goal atleast motivates you to try!!!

Now equipped with this knowledge let me see how successful i get with my "try".

P.S. I have not been blogging around for some time...No particular reasons other than  say "experiencing life" for "blog material" :-)

Increase you vocab

Oh-no second

Meaning: The exact moment when you realize that you've just made a big mistake that you'll have to pay for dearly later.

Usage: Rajiv's heart stopped in the oh-no second when he realised he'd sent a link to a porn site to his mother instead of his brother.

Trip to Mandarmoni

Pic: A Crab drinking water
Last weekend was a long one. Hence, we decided to take a trip to much heard about place called 'Mandarmoni' , a beach located around 190kms from Kolkata.

The reason i thought of writing about it is that it's a real long time i have enjoyed a beach. The things that appeals most about this place is the 'unadulterated' peace it offers. The beach is still a new one , it can be said , in the sense that it is not so crowded.....lots of water, and no beach side shops!!!! Such peace!!! No body bugging you to buy this or that. Not much to do besides dip into the water and feel liberated!!! Feels like heaven :-)
So all in all , a soul fulfilling trip......definitely want to go there again,if a chance arises.

Taking control of life

When in 1903 a young poet considering entering the Germany military, asked well-known German poet Rainer Maria Rilke for his views on his work, the senior poet replied in 10 letters. This correspondence that lasted over five years was later published as Letters to a Young Poet. Rilke says, " No one can advise or help you - no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. This most of all: Ask yourself in the most silent hour of the night: Must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if the answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple "I must." then build your life in accordance with this necessity; your whole life, even into it's humblest and most indifferent hour, must become a sign and witness to this impulse."

And this holds true not just for writing, but for every passion that you may burn with, every silent yearning that resides within you. If it is the thing your heart beats for, then give it your all by taking control of your life and knocking off all the excess clutter.
