Those childhood days...!!!

Those childhood days... simply unforgettable..!!!
That childhood innocence, innocence in every act, right from one's first step on one's own feet, to toys and teddy bears, to chocolates and lollipops, and remote cars, from 'Cartoon Network' and 'Pogo'...to 'Tom n Jerry' kind of lilliputian fights with friends, ...to one's constantly nagging parents to buy the very first thing they see in the market...
That all fills me with a smile on face, turning into nostalgia in the next very moment; and an irreplaceable void, the void that came into shape unknowingly and miscreantly...

They say, 'You have to leave behind, let go of something; to discover new, and grow and achieve'...
And that's where all of us have put off the childhood innocence, that has shaped us to what we are in present..

The most important aspect of childhood, I guess is that a child, if he decides something, he tries to do it at any cost, without looking for the pros and cons. Actually, the child's brain has no room for conscience to look into the consequences, or the do's and don'ts. 
Most of us have experienced this, seeing planes in the sky, 
   "Papa, hawaa mei kese udte hain??
     Mujhe bhi jana hai aeroplane mei.."
And then suddenly, Papa surprised and starts laughing, seeing the kid flying a paper plane and saying "...zooooooooooon.. zooooooooon.........
Yayy, Papa, I did it :) :)) ;) "
That passion, 'unadulterated' passion, unmixed with fear and procastination, somewhere seemingly started attenuating... because we have developed the conscience, to decide whether this or that thing is practically possible or not.. Mastery over the art of manipulation, judging things, looking into implications; through all this,we have made our life more complicated, we restrict ourselves into boundaries, we look for if the conditions and circumstances are favorable or not.. unfortunately, truth is this..!!

Moreover, the word 'game' meant to us as a child, simply the video games or the gilli danda and kho-kho; and now, here we are to decide the strategy to achieve something,many wish doing so, by hook or by crook, we keep listening from the society:
     "Jo seedha hai wo bewakuf hai... kab tak principles par jeete rahoge!!"
..and all that crap!!! :/ :(
And so we are caught in a vicious web of corruption, crime, deception, and all the evils and sins; not we are untouched of it..!!

Ah, that childhood innocence and ingenuousness, that accepted every heart and won every heart with just one emotion, "love",
..again perhaps because we didn't have that 'conscience' to judge who is friend and who is foe..!!!
One would agree, once gone, it has gone forever!!
Still I wish I could live that childhood once again..!!!

Add contemplation to cacophony..... and discover the real melody !!!

Jo bhi main kehna chaahun...
...barbaad kare alfaaz mere...!!! :/ :(

We fail at times to express what we actually wish to say. But we want our closed ones to understand us, to be more precise 'the unsaid part' of us. It's easy expecting such kind of thing from people; when it comes on our part, it's the real challenge!
There are many people in one's life, who could be harsh to you at some point of time, say something that hurts you. And then what? If something hurts our ego, our self esteem, we 'let it go', as it seems the easy way!

And we lose the 'real challenge' mentioned above, we always want our set of people, our family, our friends to understand us, but going this way, do we pay it back? No.
People whom we are connected to, whom we care for are meant to be there, don't just go over their harsh words, but pause a second to think, contemplate over their being rude and the 'cacophony' sort of thing. And you would be able to discover that their intentions would be never to hurt you, it's just the lack of compatibility between their words and emotions..
We can't experience what the other person is going through, we don't really have an idea of the story of their side. 

Still deep down, what one could call the 'depth of contemplation', we all are a little weird, a bit insane and yet the same, with the same crazy heart that seeks love, care and understanding; and is always ready to pay it back, and that's the invisible cord that connects a human to another human. All you need is to unravel, uncover the cacophony to discover the hidden melody. Try this mantra so that you won't end saying:

" Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both.
Neither I could keep hold of, nor I could let go!!!"

Life is surprising, take the way as it comes to you...!!

What is life? Is it just the time span for which one’s heart beats, one breathes? Is it the period for which definition of time and its being flowing exists for an individual?

Or is it something more than that? Is our survival on this earth individualistic and independent of others? Is our life just ours? The list of questions is endless, which I keep pondering about and I arrive nowhere at the answers. We have great plans for future, without knowing our destiny at the next moment! Strange, but true. The fact is that our destiny is decided before our birth. God has given everyone a certain task , and the years of our life are decided by the time required for the task to be accomplished, and so our life cannot end all of a sudden. Life is a cycle; we are born, we grow with our family, our parents are there to hold us whenever we fall, all the people we know are tied to us by bonds called ‘blood relations’, and our family is the only group of people we know. We grow, we make friends. ‘ Friends’, a small word with a deep meaning. We find friends in life, and when we get true friends, we actually find life in them. A friend is a person whom we choose on our own, whom we are compatible with and with whom our comfort level is set.

However, nothing can be ‘eternal’ or long-lasting. Neither  your  possessions and obsessions, nor your  feelings and sentiments.  We came empty handed, so we go. But life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. The past is gone, the future is unseen. All in your hand is your present. Live it the best way you can. Of course one should have plans for future, or else we will not have a path to follow, and when life ceases to flow, everything becomes stagnant. And we should of course try to resolve the differences that have arisen with people whom we care for. We should try to repair our past, if it is beneficial for days to come.  But being entangled in past and future, don’t forget to live today; because ‘today’ is just today, and can never be again. To repent for it later makes no sense.

In the words of an author, “He spent all his life waiting for something WONDERFUL to happen, the only WONDERFUL thing that happened was life!!!”

Life changes a lot with time, and change is inevitable, be it a change for good, or a change for bad. But every change leaves you with an experience. Our lifestyle can be mundane and tedious, and a boring stuff or so, but not the life! Life is different every moment, every moment is surprising, every second is a new experience. Take life as it comes to you. Think less. Enjoy more. Do what you wish. Don’t just spend life, live it, feel it, experience it to the fullest; for it’s the only thing which can give you eternal happiness and satisfaction. Live for your family, live for your friends, live for your dream and passion. But above all, spend life with your best friend, and that’s “you”...!
