Desires!!

“Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can’t have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But as tough as wanting something can be. The people who suffer the most, are those who don’t know what they want.”

"The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved — loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves." - Victor Hugo

hmmm!!

"Turn your face to the sun
Drink it in
Soak it up

Turn your face to the sun
And thank God that you've made it
Through another day

Turn your face to the sun
Batten down the hatches
To face the coming dark

Turn your face to the sun
Celebrate all you have done
All the battles you've won

Then sleep like a baby
While I watch you
Till the sun once more comes."

so true!

by: Swami Vivekananda

First hear, then understand, and then,
leaving all distractions, shut your mind to
outside influences and devote yourself
to developing the Truth within you.

There is the danger of frittering your
energies by taking up an idea only for its
novelty, and then giving it up for another
that is newer.

Take one thing up and do it, and see the
end of it, and before you have seen the end,
do not give it up.

He who can become mad with an idea,

He alone sees light!.

beautiful!!!

By: E.E Cummings

I carry your heart with me,
I carry it in my heart.
I’m never without it,
Anywhere I go you go, my dear.
Whatever is done by only me,
Is your doing, my darling.
I fear no fate,
For you are my fate, my sweet.
I want no world,
For beautiful you are my world, my true.
And whatever a moon has always meant,
And whatever a sun will always sing is you.
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows;
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud,
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
Which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide,
And this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart.
I carry your heart with me,
I carry it in my heart.

Start Living

There's a book which has been resting on my side table for quite some time now, waiting for a perfect time to start of. This is one of those good books which i never wanted to start in a rush. I always wanted to get into a perfect time slot, into a perfect mood swing and into a perfect setup before starting to turn pages of this one. Quite often there were times when i could have gulped a page or two..either in a lazy moment of a busy weekend or during a busy commute of a monotonuous weekday...but somehow always avoided hoping to get a perfect start. And the irony is that days, weeks, months have passed...and that book is still un-discovered. There have been times when i was totally free - but then thought of not to waste time in this less ROI activity as it's seldom that i get free time so i should invest it in more better ways; a book i can read any other time :) .....and there have been times when i was jam-pack busy and yet could have grabbed few time slots for myself - but still didn't start to read thinking the same "a book i can read any other time :) ".

For most of us, there's this book somewhere lying on our side tables. Every passing day, we all get a chance not just to longingly stare at the cover of the book..not just to hold it to eventually put it back again...but also to grab it, open it and read it as well. But then, getting a chance and recognising it and further availing it is what makes a difference.

All of us are doing/trying everything perfectly for the sake of life; but sadly at the cost of life itself.

Let's give our lives some time to live. let's make conscious decisions to grab those untouched books of our lives to read and to enjoy and to share. So that when we die we could say "That I also lived the life I wanted it to be? Or at least tried doing so?”.
