what marriage brings.. (special dedication to those tying the knot this year, Amen!)

With 17 marriages (of people I know) already been announced for this year, including 2 within my Family; out of which 4 are done while the rest eagerly awaiting their turn. I got to tell all of them that ‘Guys, world is not ending in 2012. Geez, it was just a movie! So kindly relax and take it slow.’ But I am not sure if anybody is actually going to listen. So now let me give you guys my share of nuggets of wisdom on the most difficult, life changing decision which is popularly known as MARRIAGE.

Ø Getting married is like getting on a roller coaster ride. You get on it being sure of guaranteed excitement, you force a smile in the beginning, but later, you are totally freaked out and want it to stop. But then it’s too late. This terrible adventure is what you have to go through for the rest of your lives.

Ø I am not sure if Marriages are made in Heaven, but hey! they all do end up in Hell.

Ø The honeymoon does not last forever guys. It has to end and sadly it does. No matter how much you want it to continue, it does end soon, very soon.

Ø ‘Love’ or ‘Arrange’ doesn’t matter. Initially everyone pretends to welcome the ‘Shit’ that comes their way with a fake smile while dramatically preaching about Sacrifice and Adjustment. But once their stomach can’t take any more crap, the big words are just for theory purpose Baby!

Ø Initially both will have so much to talk. While one speaks the other listens carefully with genuine love flowing from the eyes. A newlywed will never care about the happenings around them. All they see is each other. But later, it’s either both participating in frequent talkathons or just one partner speaks while the other pretends to listen hoping for the monologue to end asap in order to resume doing better interesting things, like watching TV.

Ø Due to the implausible characteristic of a so called ‘Perfect Marriage’ you will definitely feel deceived and cheated by the descriptions on the institution of marriage shown in movies, scripted in books or narrated by Family and Friends.

Ø Small disagreements, frictions, differences in opinions which you consider healthy and add spice to your marriage will soon convert to horrible arguments, face-scratching, hair-pulling. Only tranquiliser would help which requires breaking something. Like, each other’s Head!

Ø Gone are the days when people used to think that marriage is like digging your own grave. In today’s world, to put it in much more appealing words I would say that Marriage is like designing your own sarcophagus.

With so many marriages happening around maybe I am having one of those Panic attacks. I do believe in the above pointers to some extent. But now I am going to write about the fun in Marriage life. I am definitely sounding paradoxical to you all but as it’s said that every coin had two sides. Here’s my understanding on the other side of the most successful social experiment done in the history of Mankind until today and for centuries to come- MARRIAGE.

Ø We humans are always in search of love and stability. It is one of our major aims in life because we all our vulnerable and emotionally needy people. Denying this is like fooling your own self. Everyone has to be related or in a better word, BELONG.

Ø The most unbearable hunger is the Hunger of belonging. For how long can you go on with belonging to different people at different times in life? Everybody wants to belong to someone, for a long, very long time. That’s the biggest satisfaction and Peace in Life.

Ø For how long can one acquire pleasure? You need to be fulfilled. You need to be HAPPY. Marriage gives happiness.

Ø Marriage does bring humdrumness in life. But with joint efforts, this can change.

Ø Adjustment and Sacrifice are big words for sure. But remember, they are not that scary. They need to become a part of you as they will confront you throughout either in small or big ways; but they will, each day.

Ø Whether it’s for the guy or the girl, your topsy-turvy life automatically starts getting organised after Marriage.

Ø Getting Married is definitely like getting on a roller coaster ride. It’s fun. It thrills you. The ups and downs will tickle your stomach but simultaneously give you the experience that you will always cherish. Once you get down, you will have the desire to go on it again.

Ø Lastly but most importantly, if you believe that God is the in charge of your marriage, then the so called nightmare will become the most beautiful living experience.

Awaken Subconscious

What is it like on the outside?

I choose to remain unaware.

All I do is-

Let go of all that I have,

Of all that is around.

‘Coz NOW is when I Awake!

‘Coz NOW is where my real world is!

‘Coz NOW is when my World blossoms!

‘Coz NOW is all that I want!

It’s this very state that brings me closer to you.

I know I belong here,

With You, to You, Within You!!

Lost. And. Found.

How well do we use our Power of Thinking?

It’s wonderful to be back to the place where you have lived your childhood days. And it’s even more amazing to meet even a few of them who have been a part of those days.
Recently when I met a few people back from my school days, I realized that I was carrying a heavy baggage; which was similar to my heavy school bag with the only difference that this bag was on my mind and not on my shoulders.
When I met someone, my perception about that person was being influenced by the memory of the past.
I thought to myself that having this sort of a perception is quite natural, because that’s how everyone does think. Right?
But then I even realized that with time people change, every second a new thought a new feeling takes birth in our minds, then how can I let my past experience judge the person today?
Letting the past incidents take over the present creates a cover on my eyes and mind, and this cover does not let me see people the way they are, the way they have grown, the way they have evolved. This extra heavy baggage on my mind will not affect others, but is an obstacle in my own development.
Now that I know the problem, I start finding for solutions!
And what I found is—To Use my power of Thinking effectively and not let my past experiences influence my perception today. Not see the other with the extra baggage on, but with an empty bag to be filled for that moment. And to remember to empty the bag every time!
This power helps mw see the other in a better way, in the right way, the way he/she is at present. it’s definitely going to contribute in my own overall development while making me feel happy throughout…!! :)

What will be the value of Tea without the presence of Tea leaves?

Each day I stand next to my mom in the kitchen while she prepares food & beverages for the entire family. I have understood that one vegetable or cereal can be prepared in various different ways. Similarly, Tea can be made in different ways. Tea without water, tea without sugar, tea without milk—but never a Tea without Tea leaves. Right? Right.

I don’t have tea so for me, Maa experiments with Milk. Plain Milk, Milk with rose syrup, Milk with Chocolate powder, Milk with ice cream, but never Milk without Milk.

The value of Tea lies in the Tea leaves and the value of Milk lies in itself.

Today Man’s value is determined by his bank balance, the possession he owns, the post or power he holds. In this materialistic age we have forgotten that the value of Man is determined by his Human factor. Human without Humanity equals to not a Human for sure. We must have reached the moon but we have not yet covered the distance between our so-called self and our inner-self.

It’s time we start determining our real value rather than losing our identity behind the huge bundles of money and the big assets we own.

Life is a one long Vacation

There is not one I can call home,
Instead there is a lot many.
Not that I build them,
It’s all that I earn.
Life is a one long vacation;
Where I travel, meet, greet, am happy, have sorrows;
And then move to a new destination,
Where there is a lot more waiting, welcoming, giving it back.
When I started it was all black and white
Eventually I filled it with different colors, various different shades;
They refresh, they remind,
They bind, they create differences
But what I have to worry about??
All I have to do is play my role.
The way I have scripted and re-scripted
There is so much to live, so much to experience, so much to explore, to discover, to invent
I am not leaving any room for regrets
What I have is mine
What I own today and tomorrow is mine.
That’s how I live, that’s how I make choices, that’s why I am responsible
Like the phoenix I live, burnout and rise up from my own ashes of deeds..
