The One You Cannot Have

No matter how much you try, no matter how much you want to love somebody else, no matter how much you convince yourself that you have moved on, deep down you know the truth. If you are deliriously happy when you think about someone and a smile creeps up on you, even when you are in the worst of moods, if even a mere thought your weary body, then it is nothing by love. You can try to squish it, pretend that it does not exist, ignore it, try to make it go away, but it never entirely does. 

It always finds a way back.

 - Shruti, in Preeti Shenoy's 'The One You Cannot Have'

Impossible

Impossible is not a fact, its an opinion.

Happy Diwali & Vikram Samvat 2072

 

So, the festival has gone as suddenly as it had arrived. Your colorful diyas now protectively hold tiny pools of melted wax and ash. Your rangolis are still radiant, albeit slightly disheveled.

As you walk on the streets this morning, you catch sight of last night's celebrations all around, and you probably see or hear yourself and your loved ones laughing, in that very spot that someone cracked a joke yesterday. Friends and extended family have now gone back home, making promises to meet again soon. 

The sweets and savories have now been stored away, and will be served at tea-time, as mementos of Diwali. The clothes and jewellery that you chose with great care, that made their grand appearance yesterday, have been put away for the next big occasion.

As all the festivities slowly recede into the distance, I ask you for a promise... that in your heart, you will let the lights remain. That in spirit, and in being, your celebrations will continue... that you will attempt to meet your loved ones a little more often and that the laughter that came in abundance yesterday, will make an appearance everyday.

Here's wishing you all a happy festive spirit, all year round.

Lots of love and laughter,
Hardik

A thought on full moon night !!!

Even today looking at full moon, I wonder why it has black spots. It made me remember an old man's advice, beauty & perfection never goes together,  just as happiness & compromise. 

Accepted level of compromise brings happiness while intolerable compromise scares away happiness.

- a thought on one such full moon night

Don't dig up in doubt,
What you have planted in Faith.

Wisdom of Day!!!

The human heart has hidden treasures, in secret kept in silence sealed, the thought, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, whose charms were broken if revealed.

Wisdom of Day !!!

The moment you loose hope of Change, you have an opportunity to initiate the Change. It's up to individual to either live with lost hope or grab the opportunity.

Wisdom of Day - Life !!!

Life can be difficult sometimes, it gets bumpy. 

Things not going exactly like you planed. 

But that's what makes it interesting. 

In life the first act is always exciting. 

The second act... that is where the depth comes in.

- Gloria in movie Grown Ups

No regrets !!!

I want you to promise me something, 

I want you to play life

 just like you played that game today.

So when that final buzzer of life goes off,

you'll have no regrets.

Wisdom of Day - Decision to Try

 

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

Wisdom of Day - Love & Friendship

Love & Friendship

Love & Friendship is synonymous to two different road, while one always looks at the Destination, other is about enjoying the Journey.

Positive Mind

 

There is a POSITIVE side to everything.

It just takes a positive mind to see it.
