Pointers on my realization so far .. in bits n pieces....

We do so many things.. we meet so many people .. we learn and realize from our many many experiences ... But then, time and again we get busier with our mundane lives and end up falling in same pool of mistakes. I have tried to list some of my realizations so far, maybe I will add-on more of them in days to come .. Maybe this will work as a anti-rust on the , if not forgotten realizations...

• No point in worrying about tomorrow. It drains your energy and leaves you all the more miserable.

• You are only one your kind. Comparing yourself with someone is like digging your way into misery. Believe in yourself. Do not get carried away by others material success. You know best,what makes u happy !! Just keep doing it and move forward ..

• Pamper yourself. Be regular in going for jog/walk or aerobics classes which makes you happy. Spend some time with yourself, cos no one can judge you better than yourself...

• Sometimes keeping patience is better than worrying about results. Money is not everything in life..But do not be ignorant. Take control of things and you will see how things change around you ..

• Always take some time to work on your hobby..Indulge in music, paint, cook , get your hands dirty in the garden.. there are so many new things to explore .. Venture out and surprise yourself... :)

• Make time for your loved ones. You cannot to busy always. If not you will end up hurting them.

• Expectations hurt. Some people never change. Understand and accept it and life becomes easier after that..

• You cannot have your legs on two boats and still expect not to sink ...Be bold enough to take a decision .Maybe the decision you take might be harsh... you cannot please every body all the time.. Leave it , if someone doesn't understand .. maybe someday they will :)

• Enjoy and cherish small small moments .. never forget to smile your way through tough times, cos they dont last forever :)

Element of surprise ... as a emotion ... :)

Sometimes we have a fixed opinion on some people, how they think , how they behave , how they react and similar such thoughts ... Yes. I am somewhere proving to be judgemental . But then I feel we just cant stop, not being so. There's always a surprise element when they do something, which no doubt, made you happy but left a question in your mind -'Is this the person I have known ?' , followed by a smile on your face :) You feel good even though you are proved wrong somewhere .. Rather its a bonus to you cos you have discovered something new about your friend or person concerned that it makes things easier. Seriously, emotions are beautiful :)

Hope to find more surprises which leaves you happier with newer discoveries.

something to ponder on ...

Found it so true... :) :) Many a times we get occupied with so many things that we start being unreasonable and we over analyse. Read it , take a break and enjoy every moment that comes your way !! :)

Cheers,

Irony ...

I call it , "Irony of a geek developer's girlfriend "

Wish I was some piece of code -

you would have spent time with me more,

Analysed every bit of me,

Loved me more passionately

And made me complete.

But today I am jealous of the code you write -

Such an irony but true in reality .

PS : all characters are imaginary ... no resemblance to any person dead or alive :P

The power of silence ..

This the latest of the poems I wrote. Its about the musings of a gal about her latest crush :)

I see him ...
And I ponder over the hundred thoughts I have of him-
He sees me too ..
I wonder , if he thinks about me, as much as I do .
I pause , the very moment I catch a glimpse of him
And my eyes in ecstasy , glimmer ,all for him,I feel-
I hesitate , even to smile, which is so unlike me -
No doubt, his magic works so well on me .
I have been crazy all the while -
But somehow, seeing him, I forget all my style -
If only silence can do all these and more ..
I stupor, going ahead , what all is in store ! :)

Cheers,
Rani :)

Wayward Lover

This poem is an attempt to put forth the cognitions of a wayward lover , who is juggling between love ,responsilities and expectations . Finding no solace admist so many things, the lover just prays to God for a resolute mind . Read more to understand it better from the eyes of the wayward lover.Pure work of fiction, no strings attached.

I lose my mind when I cant be in touch with you ..
Time and again I come up with ideas anew..
Still means to reach you are so very few
How do I make you understand my point of view ?

Not finding you around is making me go blind
I find no answers in my cluttered mind..
How will I know,if this is Love?
Give me more signs, Oh my Lord above -

I remember your words, Baby, dont give up on me -
Just musings about you,everything else I oversee -
I dont even know ,When was I last esprit?
Why you had to leave me and fly overseas ?

Is this Love ?
Show me some signs, to talk of-
How will I know, if this is love?
Make me realize, oh my Lord, whom I am proud of !

I dont understand the pain I feel-
I dont even know if this wound would ever heal ?
Why am I , even now, charmed by your sex appeal-
Why cant you just be by my side,and our lips seal-
Why this has to be a complex deal ?

Is this Love?
How will I know, if this is love ?
Just make me resolute ,oh my Lord !
I will thank you each day ,in accord !

Musical Remedy

After a long ten day break from gymming , While I took the thread mill and started running , I realized what I have been missing all these while. Awesome Music being played on the background and I am running ... Its just me ..no restrictions, no expectations , nothing to stop me back... all the negative thoughts, hindrances ,frustrations just pouring down as sweat . I feel I am living the moment.. hear my heart beat ... and music at the background ... nothing else ...

I remember a song , to describe this situation aptly ..Its from a band GreenDay , the song is called Boulevard of broken dreams .. I walk a lonely road , the only one that i have ever known.. I walk alone .. I walk alone.....

Breaking all these thoughts ,the 20 minutes timer expires and I am done with my workout feeling lighter than never before , ready to tackle the battlefield ...

I just laugh and resume my work ...
