IT'S NEVER TOO LATE

Hello

This particular one, has nothing to do with my day, neither with the yesterday nor the past week/month/ year. But surely yes,  related with some moments, that I am reminiscent of. Come to think of which, I can't even recall when the following happened, but it is so deeply etched into my memory that even a small stimulus brings at all back, CRASHING down like an avalanche.

Like I have titled this blog, I would like to believe it's not too late to just mention the thoughts (a much milder form of the actual events). Maybe someone can take a note out of it and become devout enough to avoid such a situation. I read this on one of my Friend's blog and thought of putting it forward. So here goes:

A day in sorrow
Standing by the window I could see a stretch of darkness .the ruthless cold weather had as if swathe in black every single wonder created by nature .The clouds screeched and cried and breaking the silence. I stood their in solitude and asked why life was so unjust and lonely? The shadow I could see in the glass was the only someone I could see along the expanse. My heart and my soul cried calling out for help to alleviate the load of me. The bricks had just fallen of one by one. What was once a tower of faith and belief seem to have shattered in front of my eyes? I stood their devastated .i wanted to erase all the memories and any threads which got me into such a state of unhappiness. i wept but the voices just echoed back to me as if all other doors had been closed i needed someone badly to hear me out just once hear me out and could take me back to where it all began . i wish i could undo all .Was their someone who could bring light to my soul .Was it part of my dole ?was I meant to be punished ?Did I not hear the warnings or did I overlooked them ?

                                                                                                                              - S. M.

I would only like to reiterate what I stated earlier, it's just a milder description of the actual emotion (don't get baffled by it).  Paradoxical as that may sound, but it is the truth. Us humans get so affected by really small events  in life, that bring about a cataclysmic changes in our perception towards it.Also being humans that we are, we manage to endure inexplicably hurtful losses with such composure and elan and end up putting them in simple words (like the ones above in red). 

Coming back to the paradox, that my short life span has been till now, I have a song (not as much the performance) I'd like to share with you:



The performance in itself depicts YIN and YANG, HATE and LOVE that come and go at momentary intervals. The lyrics of this song , however are the paradox to the title of this post. It is never too late, given that we are quick enough to realize and gauze the situation and act like SANE human beings. The ones blinded by POWER, GREED, LUST, ATTACHMENT and RAGE will only end up being LATE enough to stick to their course of sorrow. It's all up to you, in your own hands. Mend your ways and end being eternally happy, JUST IN TIME......... OR end up being  TOO LATE!!!! 

On that note, I'd like to share an oxymoron

MAN IS CONDEMNED TO BE FREE.

Momentary Perfection

Hello


It's republic day, and people are euphoric about that fact, not in their actions but on FB at least. So was I, in the wee hours of the day as I was preparing for the "Republic day ride", co - organised by my employers. If you are on my friend list, you can see the pictorial description of the day, in my profile. Republic day , yes, euphoric even more so I am today, as I rode a bicycle after like an year. It was evident in the fact that I went all guns blazing in the initial 10% of the 5 km ride (for amatuers) and was huffing and puffing for breath for the rest of the event. But finishing the event and getting a "CERTIFICATE of COMPLETION" set the tempo for the rest of the day. Being a "laggard by Choice" in school in extra- curricular activities, the certificate gave me a sense of achievement. The feeling was such that I decided to add that certificate in my stack of useless papers that I use as a resume for prospective employers, to show-off my non existent sell-able properties.




With the event over, it followed up with an enjoyable and delectable breakfast with some close friends. Headed back home and looking forward to nothing, I ended up in my bed watching movies. the though of writing the second blog crossed my mind, but there wasn't enough motivation or suitable grounds to put a point across to you guys. So I continued with the movie and logged into FB simultaneously.

Random browsing, led me to a video that suddenly presented me with the cogitation to come forward with my thoughts for the day. Before I say anything else, I would like you to watch this video:


I have an oxymoron that describes the video in cahoots with the title of the blog - "MOMENTARY PERFECTION".

"BUT IT'S THE TRUTH EVEN IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN"

The two performers, for the short two minutes in this timeless universe, are in near perfect UNISON. Ironically on a song that's talking about two people mad over each other for "NOTHING"!!!! The paradox  I see here is  how a few words of wisdom (lyrics of the song), that most of us chose to ignore in our lifetime, inspired 2 people to give away this astounding performance. They are both perfect, as I watch them wistfully, thinking about things. Perfection in every moment of those 2 minutes. Just as I get carried away in my own thoughts , it comes to an abrupt and happy end.

That's when the Oxymoron I shared above in BLOCK LETTERS fits the situation. It is indeed the "TRUTH" and it does happen, but only lasts momentarily. Being the casual and imperfect beings we humans are, forget that at sometime in our own lives, it happened to us too. When it ended, we simply chose to forget it and in the name of  "MOVING-ON", ignore that very perfect TRUTH and tell others, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN!!!
Think twice..did it never happen to you? or you just could not last in that moment forever and be that way?

With that thought, Signing off

The first

This is an initiative I thought of starting a few days back, due to sheer of lack of sleep. Inspired by a friend who started his own. I am quite blank, as I write this and do not expect you to read this any further. It's Republic day's eve and I am looking forward to a cycle marathon tomorrow, organised by my employers. A reason to get up early in the morning. Speaking of which, I have been eager to get up early in the morning , but haven't been able to do so since quite a a while due to extended work hours.

As I write this, I have a soothing melody, that I am listening to, the link to which is as follows:

This particular one has quite a calming effect on a hyper-active, excessively stimulated organism that I am.It sort of.. sends a shiver down the spine, at times when you are somewhat lost in the song. Speaking of shivers down the spine, there are dreams which have that effect. I won't elaborate much on that, but my flat mates can corroborate that fact. Not going further into details of that, I realise that I am jumping fields as I am writing this first blog. After all, it's my first, cut me some slack if I don't make much sense. Just like the movie "yamla pagla deewana" does not make any sense, yet, it's a hillarious movie. Especially "Mukul Dev's" character of that DRUNK brother, did absolute justice to the role. Usually hindi movies have actors speaking half baked punjabi dialogues that sound incredibly odd, to a punjabi (like me). The female lead is astonishingly gorgeous and I'll not delve deeper into my thoughts towards her, I can get quite creative on that, which may be deemed improper on this forum. With that I'll bring my first blog to an abrupt end, simply due to lack of (socially acceptable) thoughts.

I am going to share this on a social networking site, hope you leave your valued comments or thoughts (if any) on this, as that is my sole motivation to carry on.

For now just enjoy the theme, I shared.
