The Journey Counts Too..

What do you think is the most enjoyable sound in a song,the titillating drumbeats,the soothing violin,the exhilarating guitar........
But what meaning does all these serve unless accompanied by that small moment of silence in between when we savour our soul getting drenched with the music and being one with it.
It feels great to run fast to reach our goals and as we touch it,the new ones have already been set and our heart whispers comeon reach for it,faster,faster.......the pursuit never ends.
But is the destination so very important,if we haven't ever paused by and noticed the paths we have taken.Is it just about racing or is it all about racing in the right direction.
When the race is our life, speed is not determined by how fast we move,but it all depends on whether we moving towards were we have always wanted , to know that we have lost the track and come back, or sometimes to realize that we are perfeclty on target and feel good,to notice what is it that we are passing by,what is it that we are holding close and what will be with us at the end of it all.

STOP....stop and notice...PAUSE....pause and realize....that its not just the destination that matters.

Immensely inspired from STOPPING by David Kuntz

A Happy Day

It started as a good day.Filled with moments where we feel happy but wonder why?.Nothing has really changed outside ,but there is a subtle change within..A feeling that I have the right to be happy.It's a wonderful feeling.Maybe one of the best ones.A smile lingers in the background of my mind and keeps my heart glad.What is it that has brought about this change,is it the stars,is it the weather,is it the memory of a happy moment or is it some joyful act which had gone unnoticed by my intellect but cherished by my soul.In between these thoughts it's wonderful to have a space to write out these feelings and have them out somewhere.Where i can always go back a glance through remembering and realizing what life was like....

Your Smile..

Each day brings with it,its own sorrows.Sometimes iam able to see the flickering light of happiness in it,but many a times iam not able to.When time stands still and flows by at the same time.Life comes with so many promises and surprises.

You my dear friend who would be reading this some day.If possible smile for a second and be happy.Be happy,remembering a special moment when u had felt top of the world.Let that lovely smile of yours transcend time and space to reach me,no matter where iam...

Glass and Water

Glass and water,there is something special in them.The way it reflects the world around it.No discriminations,plain reflections.Isnt there something eternal in them.The way they multiply the vision recieved.It feels great,to know that there are things out there which show you who you are.And at times i wonder,are they also telling us where we are going.Glass and water,there is something special about them

They are Real!

Angels.I saw one yesterday applying medicine on the wounded leg of a stray dog.He even managed to get a bandage ready using some tornout cloths.He had no wings no aura.He looked like a commoner to me.But there were a pair of eyes to whom he was a gaurdian angel.

A Common Race..

Aren't we a common race part of a common race :).

Sounds crazy huh??.We have always been told that every human being is an 'individual'.Unique..But isn't there a common string that unites all of us.Something that is imprinted in our soul.Or is it the soul itself.Something that we believe makes a human being different from other beings of the living world.We have a race to run,to the same destination.Though aims are different and paths are diverse,the destination is the same.The deeprooted urge is one.

A common race part of a common race..
