open your eyes.......

Life is truly driven by your perspective and perception towards things. Failures and success affect you the way you want them to affect you. Well lofty words…people say it’s easier said than done… but i believe…there is always a possibility to see the silver lining even in the grey clouds. Unless you do that, you would never be able to tide over the tough times. The more you live in defiance and denial, the more difficult it becomes to let things go and start afresh.
“ leave no stone unturned”
“try n try until you succeed”
can only be implemented if you are in a receptive state of mind… that goes to say that you have tested your threshold of flexibility towards the changes in life. I think … the things that seem impossible at some stage…….will seem doable if our perspective or the way we see it changes. Most of us happen to see life exactly according to the situation we are put in ie we judge it by its happiness quotient.
…..Life unfolds itself in the most beautiful way……and beauty lies if you just go with the flow….i sometimes sit by myself to think…. Hadn’t it been for all these tough times…… we would have been deprived of so many emotions……these are the few things which take us closer to life……..
some of the best things in life happen just by chance, by luck and they happen when you plan them the least... that is what we call serendipity.......
i very often see myself sitting alone at mood food restless with hapless attempts to make things happen in my life. it had been my refuge for a while...........
there had been times when i was disappointed but there was always something in the air around that touched me up with life......... i could never lose hope..........
i have had the best of times here.....and worst of them too..........we have seen a lot of seasons together. sometimes i even wonder why do i love this rickety noisy place so much?????
I guess.....there is a familiarity even in the strangeness of the place and the people around....... and i knew this was a place where i could sit alone and i would still be surrounded with life.....

life’s on the grind……. there is a constant rush ………….there’s no time to breathe as there are needs to fulfill….. ….we tend to overlook or look through some of the best things in life just because we are too tied up to responsibilities, pressure of performance or else there are other pressing issues at hand.
No matter what!! We must always have time to smile over the good moments even in the worst days…..look at things which are better than the worse……should have the guts to call the glass half full than half empty……and should be able to say how close we are to our goal than to how far……
You know what the most fulfilling feeling is!!!
It is when you can go off to sleep being at peace and being happy about things in life….

There is something about Mumbai that intrigues and inspires me at the same time. People say that life is not easy in a city like Mumbai…………you got to have that survival instinct to be one and to be able to live there. I see it differently… it is one city which assimilates you, life at different levels and in different forms…..
I have been to Mumbai many times….there was this one time when I had gone for my interview to one of the colleges…it was a crucial juncture for me …the deciding point. I was nervous, restless, tensed, dazed and uncertain about most of the things. With all these things in mind I was sitting at nariman point. It is one place where you cannot hold on to negativity for long. The silence, the sea, the people and the air serenades calmness on you and you would be holding on to nothing but a smile on your face.

These personal insights of my life are of no relevance to the readers, all I mean to convey is that no matter how down you are in life….. there would always be something which would push you through such phases…… These are some of the best times in your life…when something completely unrelated to you can make you smile……things that can make you forget about your own problems………faces and people whose presence relieve those tensed folds on your forehead….friendly banters that can make you laugh your stomach out loud that too when you were sad and had tears in your eyes…….smiles of those close ones which silently assure you that things would be fine…….AND when the sucking sense of humor of your friends can make you laugh……
It is then you feel…..it’s just a part and parcel of life…….
Cheers to it!!....
