Eat, Sleep & Smile

 




Dear Baby,

The moment you will arrive in this world society will start giving you certificates, approvals and disapprovals. Some for winning, some for not accepting the defeat. Some for living to the fullest and some to live responsibly. Some to be cherish forever and some to create memory. Some will make us feel proud of you, some will make you confident. At some point you may believe these certificates are necessary for your existence. Let me tell you a secret- They are not!!!

They sure provide some temporary anchors but it's a choice to stop them from becoming chains. It’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. There is no time limit, you can stop whenever you want. It’s a choice to change or stay the same. World may tell you that you can’t, but there are actually no rules to this thing. We can make the best and worst of it.

I hope you make best of it. And I hope you see the things that startle and amaze you. I hope you feel new things in your life. I hope you meet the people with different point of view (which you earned and not borrowed from society). And finally I hope you live a life you are proud of. And if you find you are not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. 

I want you to know that your possibilities are endless, and the world you are growing up in has so much beauty to offer. Some people born to sit by the river, some have ear for music, some are artists, some swim, some dance, some read. We can’t wait to find out everything about the person you are and we just want to support you in becoming whoever you want to be.  I can’t promise you we’ll be perfect. I’m sure we’ll make mistakes we all do. But I can promise you we’ll always try our best. No matter who you want to be, who you choose to love, or what you decide to do with your life. It doesn’t matter – all we want for you is to be happy.

EDIT 1: After I saw you

During past few month I always had this dream of holding you and looking at your tiny mouth moving slowly. And when I actually hold you for the first time and you did exactly like I dreamt. Forget all the gyan, I said earlier, now I only have one thing to say

EAT, SLEEP, & SMILE :) you are protected and loved

Micchami Dukkadam

  Rituals Without Purpose I had a basic problem with any kind of rituals is they often adrift from the context. Be it modern world ritual of saying sorry or traditional ritual of touching feet.  Consequence: A hollow sorry or disrespectful feet touching.  Our ancient religions it seems are ardent believers  of second chances be it use of gangajal to wash sins or Micchami Dukkadam or shama yachna for washing harsh words, deeds or actions.  These ritual to a layman with bit of common sense like me looks like they are systematic opportunity provided to human beings to start afresh.  I can say for sure the purpose can't be to tell you keep doing what you are doing and just say micchami dukkadam at the year end. It is a window to introspect, it is a rewind button.  Practice in  Reality  When i talk to fellow Jains they often ask did you kept fast. I did two he did three fast etc.As if it is competition to show your patriotism towards your rel...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DIZZY

There are nearly 7 billion people on the planet, and we get time only to be friends with approximately 30 of them. As you can see the choice is really tough. But you came across as someone I need to know come what may. I will be honest, when I met you, you are little too unsure of yourself, A little too weird even by my standard. It took me a while to realize how amazing and smart you are. I ignored your values as rigidity I resented your love as licentiousness. I overlook your courage as brashness. But I am proud to say that despite of my narrow mindedness I get a chance to know you better. People like me are convinced that nothing can be done and we cannot overcome our circumstances. And most of us are oblivious of the fact that our circumstances are outcome of our thoughts and that our mind in itself have ability make heaven of hell, and a hell of a heaven. The universe isn’t evil it is just indifferent and it will remain so.  But you my dear are always awar...

PURPOSEFULLY PURPOSELESS....

  How do we find our true purpose? Is it something we are born with, written into our genetic code? Or, is it something we must learn over time, A growing awareness derived from life’s Joys and Sorrows, from our loves, our loses, our achievements and our sufferings . Can be either of two I don’t know yet. But I believe as a human being we must cherish life as it comes to us. Beyond true purpose and all the philosophical shit they keep telling you, life is something more. Life is the Excitement of carrying the school bag for the first time, LIFE is Crushing on that girl in the college when your friend gives you company, Life is in the time we did something we’re afraid of doing, Life is decorating new home, Life is joy in the eyes of your parents when you get your first job, Life is in all the little things which give you few moments of joy. I think we all have a unique purpose and try as we might we cannot run from it the only question that remains, will we...
