LIFE.............????????????

LIFE-IT's my life...resonates in my mind whenever i hear this word...life is the name of varied variations...each individual has it's own definition for life .. a definition that keeps changing with the changing shades of life. actually that's what makes LIFE interesting. Isn't it??

We all suffer from multiple personality disorder i feel, though in different proportions.Each day of life..i feel different. One day ready to take-on the world and the other the loser..that's what the magic of LIFE does to me.

Categorically....scholars have also defined life in nine different shades...that normally we artistes spends life in emulating those shades n trying to live different characters ranging from simple to complex.

Despite of all this simplification ...and all this gyan on life...R we ever able to understand life...it remains enigmatic to us..that's the beauty of life. After all of tarot and astrology still we remain clueless and curious about the future. So...then we start chanting
TAKE IT AS IT COMES
mantra and keep going trying to keep our faith in our faiths :)

Now...i think that's LIFE...resolved yet unresolved...enigmatic..mysterious..a yet new ever-changing definition :)

Singleton - A Bliss ???

Single and ready to mingle... That’s a popular statement that you hear every time someone realizes that you are single and make others (read committed) light up with envy. Green seems to flash everywhere and you wonder what the hell did you do to see so may green bulbs go flashing about.

As Singles go hobnobbing enjoying every bit of life without any worries or responsibility the attached found themselves sulking in the corner over silly fights or all the time thinking about their partner"s reaction before doing any act. Be it the pubs, clubs or having friends of the opposite sex. You name it and they seem to be enjoying every excitement available to them.. the allusion of happiness surrounds them.
But...is it actually the scenario...everything has it's pros n cons so if we feel that singleton is a bliss than relationship too has it's own advantages.As a human being we all are governed by emotions and to be loved by someone is the most intense emotion we all want to experience.

Most of the times people remain single for longer times due to certan circumstances and given situations in their lives.Don’t you think that they too want to feel the warmth or just reach out and to know that someone is there who cares about. Someone to just lean over and lay your head on, a loving shoulder to support . The pleasure of knowing that you are treasured and wanted and to know that you are not all alone in the world. And that there is someone to make you feel better when the skies are grey. Someone to hold your hand and walk along with you on the unfamiliar paths that we come across at every stage of our lives. Who wouldn’t want these things in their lives
So, all those who have been wanting to trade places, be happy that you are blessed in the manner that God did create the Mr. Right or Ms. Right just for you. It’s just a matter of time before you too will sail in the bliss boat of happiness that your heart so much desires. It’s never too late for good things to happen to you.
