Live....Laugh....Love....always!

By

Sometimes all that life seems to be is a running race – from one check post to another.

In between we laugh, we cry, we fall, we get up to start running again. At some check posts we win, at some we lose. Some one runs ahead of us making us want to run faster, and sometimes we are happy when we triumph ahead of others.

Amidst all this confusion, there is so much happening that we don’t realize the milestones we have cleared. We are just busy running the race- chasing one milestone after the other.

Just sit back and think – Is there one moment of triumph you remember where you felt euphoric????
Feeling you have given your best irrespective of the output? Did you celebrate the moment when the result was splendid???

Thinking about it, you might be able to remember a few. But did you really live that moment. Did you enjoy that euphoria of giving your best shot and winning?

It need not be something really big or miraculous. It can be something as small as faring well in a test/ an interview to as big as it could get.Choice is ours.

I think we really need to live life by every moment as it comes.

Like it is said, “Live life not by the moments that take your breathe away, but by breathing life in every moment that comes your way!”

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
