was asked by you, why I agreed to everything that you said. That moment, I realized that
many a times there was no “Right”
or “Wrong” per se. It was only one’s personal experience and perspective that
shaped a thought or an opinion. However simple this realization may seem, I learned
it only now. So, many unnecessary conflicts could be avoided only if there was
tolerance and willingness to get into the “other person’s shoe” to understand
what they meant and why.

am reminded and learning to honour and live in my ‘Here’ and ‘Now’, which is
all that I have with me. A well lived Here and Now will automatically take care
of my past and the future.

learned of the purpose of my life (at least partially) when I started
connecting and relating with people around me, which I never did before I lost
a dear one. I learned there were people who endured so much more suffering than
I, even cumulatively underwent ever, and needed love and affection to help them
speak out and heal. I saw that, many people, particularly in the age bracket of
25-35 years, were somewhere broken down within and had therefore, either shut
the doors on love or had taken to a road, which will eventually,
lead to depression and loneliness.

overcome by loneliness, I have touched the lowest plain one can, feeling
helpless. But, I thank God, who has always been there to bend down to lend me
his hands to hold them and rise again to the zenith that awaits me each day.
Surprisingly, when I stand up again, I find the entire horizon so bright and fresh
as if created anew only for me.

are a part and parcel of life, and thus, inevitable. So why should I waste my days getting worked up about things that haven’t even happened, merely
on the basis of their probability to happen and not happen?

want to have a soul of a zealot and an evangelist to do all that I want and
need to do.

am acutely aware of my fallibility and hence, also the fact that, even when I lose
control of myself, someone still is in perfect control of me, always! So, I can
afford to go off the tangent sometimes ;-)
© Today,
I made a very (self surprisingly) unusual decision, and quite painfully too,
but I had to do it perhaps for us to be able to embark on our individual journeys.
It’s just like the mother bird pushing the baby bird off the protective nest to
enable it to fly. Hard but that’s how we will also learn to fly freely.

don’t know how long you’d want to share my life with me, but the uncertainty is
in everything for that matter. So, I want to live my present with you, to
create memories of a new journey together, however far we may be able to traverse
is immaterial (painfully), but at least, we’d still have shared each other and learned
new lessons from our mutual experiences. I wish to make this journey memorable
for both of us, leaving the worry about destination to the time.
© I
can’t let Fear scare me out…no way! I will give it a tough competition and
surely defeat it. It can’t weaken my spirit to take risks in life, even if I would
ultimately be exposed to disappointment, failures and heartbreaks.
