Your Heart's Desire


So since I started writing here, I have realised that come what may, as much as I'd like to, I am absolutely unable to write over the weekend( Ya,ya! Don't give me that look!Weekend is supposed to be free time and more time to do what you'd want,bla bla). But I have tried and it really really doesn't happen. In fact on certain weekends I am not even able to open my laptop ( I check my mails on my BBerry).So my point or rather my question here is, why am I not able to do something ,if I want to be able to do it so badly,that too on a time that   is technically mine and free from the shackles of mundane working.Maybe cause you don't want to do it so badly or the priorities just keep getting mixed up. And then there is always this thought at the back of your mind about having no constraints about your timings.
This is how most of our youth also gets spent,thinking and procrastinating that we have all the time in the world to do whatever we wish to. That we will write that book, take that trip to that exotic island, complete that degree, find the love of your life eventually! The moment in the present is just for enjoying ,for taking it easy..for having the best time of our life.
And then one day those moments have gone...and life just seems like a long list of things to do which we have to complete...somewhere in those lists, what we really want to do,what our heart desires get lost and there is either no time or just too late to achieve those milestones and fulfill those desires.
I know there are various factors and reasons that some of those desires don't get fulfilled which are not always pertaining to the fact that we procrastinated or let time slip by us.These could be personal issues, circumstances where responsibilities and obligations weighed on us. But a lot of times the reason for these unfulfilled desires is the courage that we lacked, the self-doubt that we wallowed in, the if and buts that we kept plotting in our minds like x and zeros.And we all know there is no right answer for these short-comings except that we need to have the courage of conviction.
So even if it may be superbly late in your life, go after those deep desires that you keep buried in your heart.I know being responsible is the curse of aging and recklessness the bane of youth...somewhere striking a balance is the key to a fulfilled life.
I found my key by not overdoing anything whether the good or the bad...yeah the good too...
PS: Alains Morisette sang in "Ironic"-finding the man of your dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife...Life is like that...but then if he is the man of your dreams,he will not have a beautiful wife cause that would have to be you...:)

Bruised Soul,Battered Minds

Bruised soul,Battered minds, Amazed at how things keep coming back To bite you, snarling at you. Life comes full circle, those in the know are heard saying all the time. But do even the incidents you would rather forget have to keep coming back? Why cant life be linear? Where things go from bad to worse and then take leap and get better to best And where we never have to look back. Let the bruises of the soul heal and let them not be reopened to bring membrances of gone-by era. Let the pain of today not be entwined with that of the past so that the healing progress uninterrupted. Let the sorrow of today not blame yesterday, that was not related to the days where the faces were different emotions definitely not the same. But the Bruised soul and battered minds are still the same.

Confusion and Creation

So there is confusion and then there is chaos...none of which leave you feeling any better than you already do... Confusion is about choices Choices is about taking decisions Decisions is about clarity Clarity is about thought or thoughts Thought is about confusion. So if you have thoughts...you will have confusion and chaos...but what may-mind you the word is "may"-not lead to it is the fact that you can choose your thoughts. You can or atleast may want to decide that what you want is peace and bliss; therefore it may be prudent to avoid negative or multiple instances of unfavorable thoughts. So if you want a happier, confusion and chaos free life...simplifying matters that lead to lesser choices and options is one route that can be taken. The other option is to be able to wait it out...be paitent.If you have that virtue in you or you can find that within you, to be able walk through the jungle till you reach the highway then it can lead to some fantastic revelation...

A late starter

I have late at starting almost everything in my life and this blog is no exception.Anyone reading it is questionable,but its just felt like something I had to do for the longest time. Two-thirds of this year has gone by and not much has happened as per what I had in mind on the first day of this year...in almost all spheres of my life. Everyday seems like a struggle to get ahead and since it seems so overwhelming, I am more and more at the same place and position.Status Quo! So what have been trying to do,change,achieve ....Personally- definitely more peace, better relations,to be a better mother...the usual- you get the idea,right? Professionally, trying to pick up the pieces from where I had quit and trying to build an organisation which will be about my values and my aspirations. Strangely, the more I stick with the values and aspirations, the more I dont seem to take my entrepreneurial journey to a destination. I hope to write more in the coming days about t...
