FINDING PEACE AROUND YOU

-




Yesterday I was sitting at Marine Drive, soon after the sunset. I keep going to that place once in a while especially when I am restless, nervous or just unhappy for any known or unknown reasons. Everyone keeps asking me that why do I visit that place so often? However, at first I certainly didn’t have a sure shot answer for it. But yesterday when I went there after almost a month or so, only then I realized why that place was so special to me and what was I actually missing these days.
And now, I do have an answer for it. While I am there, breathing in fresh oxygen, enthralling wind breezing through my hair, waves kissing the shore, children playing around with their pets, people completing their fitness regime, vehicles blaring horns on the streets, those shimmering lights of the sky high buildings- all these activities gives me a proof of life. I just feel alive to each of my moment and thus, my body, mind and soul attain peace all at once. I love being there as I feel like in an era of man-made developments and technological progress; I am resting in the laps of Mother Nature.   
While our human body and mind seek earthly pleasures, our soul seeks peace and satisfaction. Our Lives must be an equal blend of material richness and also the richness in terms of some profound experiences, experiences which makes you feel blessed to be born as a human being. Keep embracing the wilderness around you. Not everyone is blessed with the material happiness but everyone is gifted with this priceless possession called NATURE around him.  So, here’s a short poem to feel the delicacy of nature around you --
Keep calm,
Take break,
Unplug,
Go for a walk,
Stop mid way to admire the beauties of nature,
Close your eyes,
Feel the cool breeze around you,
Get swayed away by the sounds of flowing streams,
the chirping of birds and the chit-chatting leaves.
Feel energized
Feel good
Feel cool and
Attain your own peace of mind..

Hello people, How is this Sunday evening? A bit rainy, chilly and cozy maybe? So, might as well sit back and have a cup of tea or coffee while reading this short and sweet blog. Here begins the part 5 of #quote_anecdote series Time and again, we have heard that knowing and understanding are two different concepts all together. Every time that we know something does not necessarily mean we have an understanding about it. Understanding is such a key term in all walks of our lives. If we miss it, we lose everywhere.  Fail to understand the people at work, there is chaos.                                                                            Fail to understand people in relationships, there are misunderstandings and fail to understand ourselves, there is no profound meaning in life.   ...

AN OPEN LETTER TO SELF

Dear self, To begin with, I would say that I am proud of you. I know situations and circumstances have been very unfavorable lately. You just feel like giving up on everyone and everything, but keep going, do not stop, keep your hopes ablaze. In such hard times, your faith in your near and dear ones also begins to dwindle. You find them insensitive and feel that they fail to understand the gravity of the situation you are in. But I advise you not to doubt them, take in their care and words of concern. It will make you feel better. However on some days, even those consolations and words won’t be able to cheer you up and you will keep sinking in your desolation. But remember this is not the first time when you are feeling so distressed, you came out of it then and you can also come out of it now. Don’t indulge yourself in temporary pleasures.
