Yadein,its a Date .....

Yadein, Yadein, bas Yadein reh jati hain .....
 
In Life there is Death & in Death there is Life!
 
All is a question of one's own perception of Life & Death!!!
 
Life, beyond Compare , a world full of its own Endeavors.
 
Death, a Reality, which always hits us with its Abruptness.
 
In Life we create Relationships & Memories. The true essence shall come forth , once you leave this life. One person , or a few , reminiscing about You, shall still have the capacity to touch their Lives, who shall think of you with love, repect & memory, which brings a Smile in their Heart !!!!
 
It's a date ... It's a date with birth, death .... a date with its own significance, a date that shall not let you forget......
 
At Birth, celebration is a reminder , of another passing year , which has been full of expereince and wisdom. A festivity , which contiues to establish memoirs.
 
In Death, celebrations , which honor a Lifetime of Recollections.
 
Dates shall always be Memento's, with every date , a new memory shall emerge, leaving the past behind to be taken over by the present.
 
Make me live in your Memories..... after all ,It is a Date!!!!
 
And a perfect rejoinder to this is a Poem by an Aunt, Jeenoma ( as i promised , yr poem is a part of my blog!!:-)
 
If there is Peace within yourself ..........There is room for another Mind.
Like a child you have Innocence.....
You have a Smile....
You have an Enthusiasm ..........
You have the Spirit......
You have the Honesty......
and a Child lives in You ............
Live that Child hidden in you today.......... 

 

People Change, Friendship Remains

Read this lovely piece and here are the lines that i felt were so true to what we all go through ..... trying times with friends ... however, one has to just Move On.
 
It's about Memories , about what Friendship once meant to Us,It's about ... Friendship Remains .... a few friends shall stay with us forever, a few shall fade away, a few shall never acknowledge the friendship, but,  at the end of it all......People change , Friendship remains, just keep the doors open, one just never knows who walks through that door, into our Life , once again!!!! ( And the same , methinks, holds so true for any relationship!!! )
People Change but Friendships Remain From Chicken Soup for the Soul: By Jiseon Choi
 
I went through a confusing time with my friends when we got to junior high. I had known these friends since kindergarten, and when we began junior high it seemed like some of them began to change. We slowly drifted apart and started hanging out with different groups. When we were going through this "transition," I felt confused and hurt. It was as if we had never been friends in the first place, we had grown so far apart.

People change, but that doesn't mean we have to lose the friendships we once shared. My friends and I still spend time together when we can and care about each other a lot. Just because things are different doesn't mean that I have to forget about all the good times we had. I will always keep the memories in a safe place in my heart. This story taught me that we will go through many different changes throughout our lives. The best thing to do is to move on and let go of the past—and leave the rest in God's hands.

General Musings


Folders:
 
PC/ notebook main Folders banate banate , decided to make folders in my head too!!!
Different situation , different moods, different friends/family ..... a different folder for just about everything happening in my Life!
Only one folder is opened at a given time , work done on that , and as need be , work continues or folder is closed. No folder is allowed to overlap another, warna confusion ke chances jyada ho jate hain!!! 
As things get taken care of , they are sent to the Recycle bin depending on their utility factor. It is the deleting the folders from the Recycle bin of the mind , which is not the easiest..... takes its time & effort!! Working on that , these days!!!:-)
 
 
Music is Food for the Soul:
 
Music , Music & more music. Music for every occasion. It is a therapy for the soul. Brings a smile , no matter what!
 
 
Dance your Blues away:

 
Whoever coined this term, knew exactly what he/she was talking about. Just the love for good music & dancing, puts such amazing stillness , to be able to let your energy be released in the mist of music, which clearly begins my moving your being , to foot tapping , let your hair loose & just enjoy that moment of total freedom & bliss. Let yourself flow with the music , coz , u gotta shake shake shake .... & let the blues away!!! Body & Mind , totally spent !
 
 
Walk, the best Stress Buster: This is how I feel , maybe coz I love to walk!!
 
Some believe in retail therapy , or shopping , or vigorous excersice , yoga , meditation , chanting , and am sure a whole lot more ...
 
However, when i walk, its an amalgamation of sorts. Listening to my own heartbeat or the beats of my shoes on a rough surface , singing or chanting in my mind ... all of this. And, in more than one ways , always helps me think straight , to remove the clutter which is there , slowly & steadily, with every brisk step I take, the Mind gets a clarity. And after a while, it is just listening to the stillness around!!!
 
 
Sleep Easy:
 
Growing up , we always listened to music while studying. We would hum the song and read. However, in some time , the music would engulf us, trap us in its cocoon, filtering any other noise that might distract us. Music would become a hummm in the background with our total Focus on what we were studying. Thats how we cleared all our exams ... & very well too , if i might add!! ;-)
 
Even today , my Focus on the task at hand is so much better if music is playing in the background.
 
When I am tired & need that Power Nap , which could be from 5 minutes to about half hour, I switch on the TV, or play music...... the sound is like a lullaby which puts me in the slumber in seconds, Up in a short while , totally relaxed and ready to take on the world!!! ( maybe that why my dear sister said she would pull this chapter from my book on relaxed sleeping while totally stressed!! ... She tried it , kept the TV on & tells me slept like a baby through the night!!! :-))
 
There are a lot of things that shall touch your Mind, it is the moments that touch your Heart that shall Remain with you Forever!
