Memories are blessings !

Each moment we live is a memory which we will cherish sometime in future. We always want to grab the happy & special moments of our life to live them time & again. We want to pause the time there itself, but time moves on.. & especially when we are in our best times, it seems as if time takes to heels.  But when in adversity, we wish time to fly, we outrageously wish if there was a delete & fast forward option in real life also. Alas, we are not blessed with such an option in real life. But we are blessed with a power in our mind & hearts wherein we can save what we cherish & relish… Memories!

Memories are good, memories are bad. Memories make us smile, memories make us weep. Memories embarrass us, memories make us proud. Some memories we wish to live a hundred times while some we wish to erase forever. Memories never leave us alone, they are our best companion. Whenever we want to re-live them & feel the same joy, we just close our eyes & the flashes start hitting us.

Most of us are busy climbing the ladder of success only to find it is leaning on the wrong wall coz the most relieving things in life aren’t things actually & the greatest joys of living are in the li’l things & experiences & moment life bestows on us! Life teaches us that whatever we are chasing is in a way taking us away from the real happiness & treasures of life, which is life itself. Hence, whenever we get an opportunity, we want to claw the best time by making it memorable. The trivial things, which we oversee in our chase for the great achievements, sometimes turn out to be the most special ones.

The best gift a person can give to someone is his time. Especially in today’s fast paced way of living. People might forget you or your words but they can never forget how you made them feel, they can never forget the memories you gave them. On a friend’s birthday, receiving an expensive gift from you would not make him so happy as spending his birthday eve by ruining his face with his birthday cake will. In today’s tech savvy & facebook addicted world, it’s a child’s play to get in touch with a long lost friend but there’s something which this tech savvy world cannot replace, your personal touch, your emotions, your moments with a special one! Ask yourself; what gives you more happiness, birthday wishes received on your facebook wall or birthday wishes when your buddies land in your house at midnight or early morning just to make your birthday weird.

A mother wants to capture every tiniest memory of her kid, the day her li'l baby starts walking, talking, says his first broken word, his first day at school, etc. not for any accolade, but coz she knows that this is her best asset which she will cherish even when her kid will be no more a kid, he will be a grown up, when she might be bed ridden & her kid would not have few minutes to spend with her, the same kid whom she helped to take his first step, might not help her take her last, she will still relish those memories & love her kid unconditionally.

Make memories, they are always close to your heart whether they are good or end up as bad... Never regret them coz they build your life. One day you'll realize how your journey called life went through some beautiful & bizarre moments...but in the end they made your life a wonderful moment which you might not be blessed with again!

Each day each moment is a wonderful opportunity bestowed on us by the Almighty, it’s on us how we transform the opportunity in to serendipity by making it special in our own special & simple ways, to make wonderful memories worth cherishing even after giving up to mortality.

Everything in this world is mortal, except for memories. They never die, they just remain immortal in our hearts & minds & give us the freedom of living yesterday in today & today in tomorrow!

There's only one secret to conquer immortality.. Memories ! 

Memories make our life.. life !

The li'l things YOU do for me :)

The 1st thing that would have come to your mind after reading the title of my new post must be "Who is this You..is this me?" no mysteries here dear friends...you will unveil it by the end of this brief post :)

Mood swings are something which I am sure each one of us is struck by at least once in a day, be it happy to sad or depressing to merry. Some days begin with a million dollar smile, when you feel like a bird flying in its own melody & music, while some begin with a sad, low & gloomy moment when you have that " BEWARE" like look on your face (if anybody tries to mess with you, they have had it).

Many a times it gets quiet difficult to figure out the reason for such a mood swing. Seldom are we able to understand our own selves in such a situation. Hard do we strive to bounce back to normalcy, but to no avail! 

Shopping, watching a hilarious movie with friends, dining at our favorite joint, hanging with friends at our ADDA, reading our favorite book... etc. etc..are some of the things we resort to in such times. But are they actually helpful? do we really feel the same happiness from within? can these things get that million dollar smile back on our face??? Seldom they do....

In our chase of these worldly materialistic pleasures, we often oversee the li'l things that our mother nature does for us.. Ever noticed the cute li'l puppies playing around.. a butterfly with flamboyant colors flying around.. a wonderful smile of a new born.. the dazzling beauty of the colorful nature around.. a flock of birds flying in the illuminating blue sky..

Try to spare some time from your busy & hectic schedules & spend sometime with our mother nature who has given us immense reasons to smile.. to be happy.. to be overwhelmed & to be thankful for.. the world is beautiful, you just need to have an eye for it & some time to spend with it! Look around & cherish the li'l things that mother nature does for us. It takes nothing from us except for our worries & tensions & gives us reasons to be happy, feel lively, feel blessed & be inspired to have that million dollar smile. 

When struck by a mood swing, try to get rid of it by spending sometime with mother nature to notice & appreciate the li'l things it does for us & you will have that smile back which will beautify your face  :)

Thank you mother nature for the li'l things you do for us :)

Happy Living.. Keep Smiling.. coz it costs nothing :)
