where are you?????

Missing those nights when I'd close my eyes and you'd
hold me in a soft embrace till morning.
Missing those dreams I shared with you.
Missing the comfort of lying on your lap.

Dear Sleep, Dear Sleep, Where did you go?
Why have you deserted me?

???

Its very common but also very uncommon. Its difficult to get. You are lucky if you find this in your life at least once. Not everyone gets to experience it. For me, its a tease. wow...I got it...no no...not so fast...its not for you :( .

Mind is a Monkey

Mind is a monkey....my favorite quote and how true. I sometimes try not to think anything and it IS very difficult. Something or the other keeps popping up into that brain, always restless, happy thoughts, sad thoughts, analytical thoughts, loving thoughts....thoughts, thoughts, thoughts... Elders define meditation as a state of thinking nothing. I have tried it quite a few times. I could do it for may be 5 minutes and that's about it. All the thoughts come rushing back. But those five minutes are so calm, so peaceful. Only if I could do that all day and night. Well...If I did that then I would become a yogi...won't I? :)

Moment of revelation.

For months you try to dig through your mind for answers. You look for clues for what you should have told, what you should have done, what you shouldn't have said, what you shouldn't have done. For days and months you try to gather and understand your thoughts and feelings, all in vain.
Then one fine day out of nowhere you see the light at an unexpected moment. A revelation...a realization. You smile. You are in a state of euphoria. All is clear like water, all is calm. All the confusion and misery is gone. All is quiet and peace settles in.
Don't you love moments like this? They do not come around often but when they do, it makes me feel like everything is good and beautiful around me. All the storm is worth this peace and quiet. All the misery is worth this serenity.

Ignorance....

Knowledge may be power but ignorance is bliss, truly. At any point of time if given a choice I'd prefer bliss over power. I'd rather be ignorant and happy than know everything and be miserable.

Simple things in life....

Nice beautiful, big house with a pool and a big backyard, wonderful designer clothes and jewelery, nice luxury car, membership at high end clubs...these are nice to have. But what one wouldn't give for a peaceful day at the beach listening to waves crashing and the feeling of coarse sand on your feet. What one wouldn't give to inhale the sweet smell of the earth after a thunder storm. What one wouldn't give to see a smile on the face of a crying child. What one wouldn't give for a hug when you are feeling lonely,for a shoulder to cry on, for a simple gesture that says "I am here with you"....aww simple things in life...worth more than anything in this world.
