Changing Lanes

Am not reviewing the movie but yes that was a real nice Ben flick!
I am more here to share with you, my soul friends the recent happiness I discovered. I have recently discovered that I love watching the cook shows (I am a terrible cook). It’s not that I aspire to join the ‘masterchef’ or participate in any cook show; it’s the simple fact that the whole process of cooking needs such an amount of dedication.

Right from selecting the raw sources, garnishing, adding right proportion of spices to ultimate dressing up of the dishes, the cook delicately went through the process showcasing tremendous control and at the same time impeccable love at what he was doing. I mean ….that’s the real catch there “Do what you like” compromise will be an obsolete word soon.

Life too needs that amount of dedication and love that we seldom offer. It’s not in chasing the career ladder or aiming to please everyone around. I feel it’s discovering some little wishes, some absurd dreams and few loud thinking …anything that connects to the soul.

At least got a point where I get to connect with my life (Umm!!! nowadays I walk 1 hour at night ALONE)
Do let me know your connection point.

P:S # How do you like the term ‘Soul Friend’?

When Happiness Slipped ...

It was a great day. I mean right from my alarm clock singed in '7:00 am honey' to sipping this hot smoking cappuccino in this freaking winter at a naked roof ...it's awesome man!

But why am I feeling so special ? It's just a Sunday ...nothing much special about this particular Sunday. I pondered again "What's so special about this Sunday"?

The Coffee cup's warmth in my cold hand , shivering cold winds ruffling my already messy hair, a truck's honk far away...yes these are no reasons to be happy , right ? But are you so certain of it ?

What if I add another sentence to it like The Coffee cup's warmth in my cold hand , shivering cold winds ruffling my already messy hair, a truck's honk far away, I looked at my side and he drew me closer just to remind me a right company is just an embrace away.

Well am I seeing a tweak of smile there? I realized standing there 'special days' need not have to be exquisite with celebration , with people throbbing around or doing salsa together...it can be as simple as watching the stars. Aimlessly trying to figure out which constellation is Orion, laugh together at silly mistakes and just share those potato chips together saying nothing.

Just as I said when happiness Slipped "IN" ....

Cheers!

Going out-of-box of ‘Boxed life

We live in a boxed life. Well if not all most of the ‘privileged’ ones does. You might be thinking I have gone nuts. But sometime realization bites me hard …only to be soothed away by time I guess. Coming back to the point “box life”, strangely I did get some vibes urging me to throw away the cuffs and it’s-easy-this-way life.

Wondered how the sweet home is a ‘box shaped’ entity? Or for the matter of fact that hangout zone…the comfortable cubicle where our career prospects grow at a rate of inversely proportional with happiness quotient?

I was completely taken aback when I realized the uncanny resemblance with the suffocating box cramped life. When I first thought of going out and breaking the hard shells of this box …sudden fear gripped me. I am so used to this structure of living….so habituate to the hassle free uber-lifestyle. I was so scared to take my feet out of the box and dangle it freely and feel the smooth air caressing it. But the freedom, the loosening act was so tempting; it was hard to control the urge of cutting all the ties. Again contemplating the desire, priority, responsibility, maturity tried hard to mess my mind. A delusional mind that’s deciding between rational livings with irrational emotional pursuit is really hard to manage. But unlike all the time …this time I cannot be diplomatic…

A concrete decision is needed. I chose out of box living. I am going out of priorities, of guidelines and specially ‘everyone does this’ benchmark. I am going to live life in my own terms. I am going to travel a lot…I ‘m going to meet new people and occasionally am going to share some secrets …C’mon it’s ONLY ONE LIFE and we don’t have any REWIND PAUSE Button ….

Are you guys with me? (Would like to hear a ‘yes’) …

Would love to hear your idea of living J

With love
