Ever noticed the cute li'l baby when she is sleeping... :)
Can't miss that, can you...
I am sure that all of us have, at one point or another in time been awed by the way she makes us smile by her cherubic disposition...
I don't know how babies do that...what magical powers they have to make you forget the harshest of pains and sufferings for that tiny spell...
Anyways...the reason why I mentioned them was I somehow landed up connecting the dots between a baby's sleep and what goes in between their ears when they do so...no, I am not crazy...lol
After spending some seconds on the thought, I drifted off in to the safe haven called Dreams...
Scientists may have several reasons for explaining why we dream and all the associated stuff...but what I come to realize that dreams give you that certain something that you always wanted...for a few minutes, there are no limits, no boundaries, no inhibitions...no one to tell you otherwise, no ifs, no buts...
You can be whatever you want...actor, writer, designer, sports player...
You can do whatever you yearn for...go on an adventure, fly into space...
You can be with whoever you wish to...the person you love...the person who makes you want to live another day...
You can say whatever came across...with no fear...
Utopia...where you decide the outcome...where people love you back...things that you really care exist and exist forever...
No wonder the babies smile when they are sleeping...
Dream on, Child!

Some Important things...
Yes, I know you are busy. In fact, the statement "Life is very demanding" will seem like an understatement to you at this juncture of time. To be truthful, I am also living a very eventful life...too eventful at times...too tiring...so much so that the thin line of difference between fun times and hectic times cease to exist...that things which were adventurous are now metamorphosing into burdensome activities.
What are you slogging it out for?
Why doesn't time agree with you?
When does it ever occur to you that you are not only answerable here but somewhere else too?
Your thoughts, efforts, sweat - for whom are your killing yourself?
Isn't it time your broke these shackles and set yourself free?
Money, success, recognition...is that it?
Are you wondering whether these are your destination, your final resting place? Or is this just the start? Think again.
Eat this:
You are 65. If you are lucky, you would pr0bably be lying on your deathbed and thank god for spitting mercy on you. There's no one next to you. You have dreary eyes with tears in them wishing for your loved ones to be there. And there's only one question -where is everyone who called them yours?
But you are wrong, as equally as you have been for the last 45 years...the question is do you deserve them?
Your brain does a quick re-wind of your entire history...flashes of all the people that could have and should have meant so much more rushing by...only now its too late for the same. There's no redemption, only repent. You yearn for another chance. Just a few moments with your parents - to tell them how much you are grateful to them, for the every li'l sacrifice they made for you, for always putting your need ahead of theirs. Your brother for just being their - through all the thick and thin...and that you are sorry for not being there for him when you should have. To your friends who patiently listened and responded to all your meaningless yapping. To that girl who made you feel worth it...to that love of your life...to your wife, to your children. Everyone!!!
You suddenly gasp for air...you are going to choke on yourself...you don't want to die...you want to live on...you resist..you pray, for once with all your heart, to take you back...to the times when you could have done all these things...Things that are way more important now and ever...
Suddenly, you wake up from this nightmare, or your future to be...
Its not too late.
Have you ever thought about this? Or are you too busy?
Get a life!

Life...or something like it
Science calls it a Probability, the Believers call it a Miracle and The Verve calls it a Bittersweet Symphony. I am sure that you have your outlandish reasons for calling Life by whatever name you have chosen - all interesting ones at that too. But going by what I have come to experience of it so far, I can't conjure a better term to describe this fascinating journey of a few decades - CONTRADICTION.
It may not always hit you straight in the head but believe me, sooner or later, when it dawns upon you, the part of your brain controlling your emotions goes into overdrive only to be followed by a trail of thought best construed by that person in the mirror. One prime example of why I chose to describe life as a contradiction happens to be the radically opposite stages when we possess things that we wished for and the otherwise. Think of when you were a college going sophomore wishing to do away with the irrelevant education that you would be exposing yourself to. Rather you wanted to have access to all the worldly possessions and thought that working as adults do was a far more saner option. But hold your horses! Now that you have spent the last few years enslaving your thoughts and efforts to someone elses pocket, you wished that you were always a free bird that you once were...
To take things further along (and no I don't intend to rub it in), some years hence, you are a head honcho or the successful person you always wanted to be. You have what you always wanted as that young sophomore years back. But life being the contradiction it is, comes around a full circle. Those material obsessions now don't even give you the merest of quantum of enjoyment that they could have years ago. To make matters worse, where are all those people who could have made all this worthwhile. Yes you are what you wished for. But then why doesn't it give you that cherubic joy that you thought that it would.
Life is a contradiction!!!
What say???
