Searching what??? It's all here :)



To love some one is absolutely magical. It hurts a lot to see tears in the eyes of those whom you love. We all have heard this lovely quote, which says “love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay; love isn’t love till you give it away”. This thought must have definitely aroused in mind, which knows not to hate. Beautifully expressed, isn’t it?

When it comes to me I must admit that I have not mastered this art of expressing love. But it simply feels great to see the most innocent love in the eyes of my mother, her fear, anxiety, her concern….. It simply feels great to be her daughter.

Oh no!!! How can I forget to share this little piece of important news… today I had seen the most contended face…. That’s nobody else’s, but this bliss was radiating from a contended new mother. She have thousand things on her mind disturbing her, but this little idea, a new little sun shine has taken all her worries away. Today she is a mother, and a mother has the strength to withstand all odds. For her nothing is a challenge, her patience and perseverance can definitely melt rocks. It is not surprising; even Gods take birth on this earth to enjoy the bliss…. the love of mother. I salute the divinity; I salute the mother in you.

We all complain, we don’t have this or we don’t have that. Never contended, life goes in complaining. Have we ever thought of all the small moments which really pass by unnoticed? The problem with human beings is that they have taken most of the things for granted. We never accredit the presence of small small wonderful riches; we just surpass it with out even acknowledging it. If such is the case, then don’t you feel that we are paupers, trapped in our own definition of happiness or rather search for it? What I have observed is that this search ends up in piling of material possessions, or a dream of owning a big house, cars etc etc. How I wonder this could be the true definition of happiness.

Where is the contentment lost? Men have everything within him. It is just a quest to earn more. To put in words “to be a bada aadmi” that keeps him away from all the real possession that he has. I just have this one little question for all those people who believe in the concept of being a ‘bada aadmi’, does this refers to being big in size or in your deeds??

I remember Paulo Coelho’s book “the Alchemist” where the protagonist sets of his journey to discover treasure, but only returns to find it back from the place where he has started his journey. Isn’t it an irony? In a way it could be said that life is nothing but ‘Commedy of errors’ the way we lead our life, the search that we have for.

Many a times it happens that we end up hurting the sentiments of those whom we love… knowingly or unknowingly. The kind of person I am it takes a lot of time for me to apologize. The possible reason for this could be my proud or by the time I prepare myself to say a sorry, time must have elapsed and I think now even if I say a sorry that won’t be making any difference. And the consequence of this would be this. It keeps on irritating me. I could have evaded this entire problem if I had cultivated the habit of ‘listening’ to what others have to say. But then who has the time to understand what others have to express. I am always in a hurry, await my chance to answer.

But now I have understood the real value of the saying or rather the ‘SECRET FORMULA’ and here it is. BETTER BE LATE THAN NEVER. It’s a new dawn on me. I am practicing the art of being more tolerant and patient to others view and again a good news ‘I have started to listen’ :) Isn’t it incredible!!!

There are certain things which could be learned only by experiencing. I agree that every body is destined to be in a particular manner, but by your free will always try to influence it in your favor. Life is too short to have regrets, so live fully. Enjoy!!!
