Life is short.....

Has it ever happened to you? One moment, you are sad and morose thoughts are churning around your head….. And in sometime, something just unplanned happens; that takes your breath away and pastes a smile in your face so much that you start to regret that you were ever sad!

Has it ever happened to you? You’ve had a terrible week. Got caught up in work and additionally, all sorts of matters entered your life…. And suddenly, a heavenly weekend drops into your kitty. You have one of the most memorable experiences in your life, and you wonder what made you invest your week thinking about things so temporary and irreparable!

We all spend so many moments in our life sad, tensed, angry, worried, etc that we take away a chance to smile! Agreed, it’s not possible to smile always. Situations do bring in all the above emotions…. But, I believe, it’s not impossible to repair all the causes of your emotions. Sooner or Later, if you clearly see, you will find reasons to smile and tackle everything with new zest!

Because this is your LIFE!!!!!!! You don’t know what you had earlier and what you will get later!! It’s just this one life!!!

And Life’s not to whine for a girl you didn’t get…. Life’s not to do a job you don’t like….. Life’s not to give up in the last step…. Life’s not to prove you to everyone, but to prove you to yourself….. Life is a waiting for glory, for light amidst struggle and darkness!

Life is short! Do things you love… Do it for yourself and not for others…. Care for people you’re close to…. Find time for people you care……. Love truly…… Go for holidays…. Take a break…… Do everything you fear…… Fulfill every dream you dreamt….. Find time for your favorite hobby…. Play your favorite sport…. Invest time in a good deed….. Spend festivals with family and your set of friends…. Read stuff… Sing and Dance in a karaoke…

Again, Life is short! Don’t waste it in hatred and holding grudges against people…. Understand them and remember them for the good they possess…. If you make an attempt, you will surely sight those! Forgive people but don’t forget them….. Learn from mistakes but only when you should! Trust some people….. Everything can’t be achieved alone! Cut down your prejudices…. There are always things which are called “Exceptions”! Take the chances you believe in… Even if they are going to change your life forever…. They might be worth it! Never judge people…. Because nothing and no one is predictable, there are facets you fail to scrutinize! Travel a lot….. Because sometimes, getting lost will help you find yourself! And believe in God…. Man can’t answer every question!

Again, Life is SHORT! Live it like it’s yours!!!!! Live it like a dream!!!! Live it like it’s the only thing you own!!!!! And always remember… Irrespective of whatever comes your way… Life is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Love Stories!!!!!!!

LOVE….. Love is something which every human experiences in every micro-second of his/her life…. But still has no words to explain it!

We belong to a funny generation… Everyone has their own distinct perspective about LOVE! For someone, Love is courage….that makes them walk that extra mile. For someone, Love is strength….to tackle every obstacle in sight. For someone, Love is time-pass….to make their days a little vibrant. For someone, Love is for the weak….because it makes you do something you don’t intend to do. For someone, Love is patience….a wait for the right one at the right time. For someone, Love is pain…..because you sometimes end up losing. For someone, Love is serene….the only unselfish feeling in the world. For someone, Love is silent….felt in the heart, not spoken in words. For someone, Love is non-existent….because they are too pessimistic to experience it in their life.

For me, I don’t think any set of words can appropriately and wholly describe what “LOVE” is! I was, am and will always be a fan of Love Stories…… From books to movies, I love the whole idea of this genre…. I avidly read Nickolas Spark’s novels…. A Walk to Remember, True Believer, Dear John, etc… I enjoy watching Romcoms like Jab we Met, Wake up Sid, The Proposal, 50 First Dates, Notting Hill, When Harry Met Sally, 27 Dresses, Band Baaja Baarat and many more.

I am a sucker when it comes to Love Stories (Conditions apply. Provided I find it convincing). Call me an Emotional fool… Yes, I am!

I admit Fairy tales don’t exist in everyone’s case. It’s for the Cindrellas and Rapunzels and Snow Whites! But, everyone has to admit… Love Stories exist!

Girls wait for the Chandler (Friends), Edward (Twilight), Arjun (Namastey London), Jai (Jaane tu ya jaane na) and Aman (Kal ho na ho) of their lives to give them their worth….. And Guys expect a Shalini (Dil Chahta hai), Geet (Jab we Met), Ayesha (Wake up Sid), Sophie (Music and Lyrics) and Vivian (Pretty Women) to make them fall in love!!!

The common aspect is that…. There comes someone in your life who teaches you what it is to love!!

For some, love results in marriage…. And for some, with marriage begins love! For some, it’s that “Forever-and-Always” childhood friend…. And for some, it’s that “You-Belong-with-me” college buddy! For some, it’s the *chupke-chupke* love with the person in the opposite apartment…. And for some, it’s the *haule-haule* love with the person in a distant city! For some, it’s the Rockstar who reciprocates their love…. And for some, Solace is found in the Geek who always loved them! For some, it’s the co-passenger in the Kingfisher flight they once met and stayed forever in contact….. And for some, it’s the person in the everyday 9.15 Churchgate Fast train they finally managed to ask out…. For some, one look is enough to make them realize that this is the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with…. And for some, even a lifetime is not enough to finally realize that this is the person they are meant to be with!

The definitions of Love changes with age…..But the true essence of love is not in the flowers, love letters exchanged, mushy-mushy dialogues, frequent messaging and calls…… But it’s in all the little unselfish acts you do for that special person, thinking about their happiness and not yours! It’s not in the “Oh! How beautiful you are!” or “Aw! You’re so good!”…. But it’s in the fact that, irrespective of the people the person has wronged, the irritating habits, the hurting incidents, you still CHOOSE to Love that person and spend your life with that person!!!

It’s how Shania Twain puts it…

“You're still the one I run to...

The one that i belong to...

You're still the one i want for life!”
