“There must be more to life than having everything”
This reflection struck me in an unusual way. If we all consider the present state of our lives, we are most likely to end up either smiling all the way or with tears in our eyes. Our present might seem either very complete or it might be oddly incomplete…in so many ways. Our feelings may lead us to an aura of happiness….happiness for being blessed….blessed for having wonderful friends, supportive parents, nice clothes, a bright future and everything that we could want from life…Or may be we might think about the misery of being what we are or living the life we are supposed to live….We might be swathed with grievances from the past, apprehension for the future, misunderstandings between the people we love. We might be depressed coz of hostility in the family, a decreasing success graph, losses…tears…loneliness

But for me
…”Life is beyond these smiles and tears”None of us would think about the little things, the little words, the little fun…which get together to adorn a long life. We think about the number of times we’ve been hurt; but what about the days when laughter was more essential than our bruises and blood? We think about the arguments and the roughness that they bring; but what about the days when friends, fun and games were beyond our ego.
That’s how I think about “childhood”… we learn the best lessons of life in the first few years of our existence….we learn how to overlook small matters and forgive loving friends…we learn how to share our toys and make others smile…we learn how to be “ourselves”….we learn how to believe in miracles, how to take pleasure in the drizzle, how to beam with innocence, how to love with care…
What really matters in life is for how long we manage to lighten up this spirit in our hearts.
Life is not merely about having the whole lot…Life is not always about feeling absolute and contented…But the journey of life is about knowing your own self; its about laughing in the rain, sleeping in a snug blanket, kissing an adorable puppy, enjoying the sturdy winters, eating those stupid candies, learning those little morals, bringing glee all around….spreading love and exuberance.
Life is not complete when you have everything, rather its blissful when you discover everything in whatever little you have…:-)

A smile...a dream...and a HOPE

Laughter...smiles....fun and hope. These few words define ME. Its always so beautiful when you live for the moment...when you laugh at the silliest jokes and smile at the simplest things...Its always so refreshing when you talk endlessly about some wonderful dreams...without knowing they would be a part of your life or not....But we never cease to dream...because dreams, aspirations, ambitions and the magnificence that they hold, mesmerize us and bring us into a different world...a different manifestation of life....which is filled with the aura which completes us....
When I smile and laugh, I feel an unusual kind of contentment...a satisfaction which is as fulfilling as a person dying of thirst would feel if he fortuitously finds WATER....
With the pace of life, the serenity of my voice, with the glint in my eyes...everything seems so COMPLETE...to everyone around.... But what about the hollow in my heart that has been tearing me apart since the time i realized how important dreaming is....Today as i write this blog, I want to touch the most sensitive feelings of every person who holds a misery behind his cheer...Life is the same for everyone...What matters is your perspective towards it...Some people know how to hide their innermost fears enveloped with their outer strength... while some people forget to comprehend how strong they really are...and they can hardly survive the pulls n pushes of this superficial world...
Some hearts can sing the songs of hope and delight even when their soul is drowning in tears....and that is where the difference comes.....THE SPIRIT OF LIVING!!!
Its tough...really tough to veil your depression by an appealing charisma, to cover your sorrow with the beauty of bliss...but believe me its tougher to live life without understanding how precious a SMILE is....

A smile is a reflection of the person you are...
A smile is the fulfillment of your hopes and dreams...
A smile holds you...strong and deep...
And makes life simpler...no matter how hard it seems....
A smile brings you closer to yourself each day...
It gives you the spirit to fight the despair....
It makes your dreams a part of your soul...
And brings a contentment which makes life fair....
