Jingles

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul.

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child.

And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. .

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to leave you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure;
You really are strong, you really do have worth.
And you learn, and you learn
With every goodbye you learn.

Clueless ! don't know from where to start ! Well, that's not something I am not good at. But this time, its been over an year, and life has changed in all possible ways.

You change with time, situations. I thought, Ah, I proudly thought that I will probably end up going against nature. But well, that's not really possible & time managed to change me ! :)

Someone told me someday, 'we never know when we are making a memory'. Blame it on 'hey days' or my carefree nature, I never took these words seriously. Today, though, I value them. Not just value, I adore the essence, depth, meaning & the crux that lies inside them.

A lot can be written about life, and the more you write, the less it is. A journey, that's tough, yet so beautiful. Challenging, yet motivating. Tough, yet so simple. When I stop here at this moment & look back, I see hopes, dreams, challenges, faith, company, loneliness - all of them fulfilled & unfulfilled. There is this dialogue in one of the KJo movies which says: "yaadein mithai ke dibbe ki taraah hoti hain, ek baar khula to sirf ek tukda nahi kha paaoge". Truly said !

Good & bad thing about memories: they get framed in some corner of your mind, like forever & you can cherish/recall them whenever you want to. No humans act different. I do the same. Wonder though, if that's how it really should be.

In order to create more space in room, we vacate the old previous stuff. Memories shall be treated no different. In order to let new things come to you and stay with you in a healthy way, you need to delete the bad phase of old memories & keep the good phase at a corner somewhere, assigning it the least priority. Giving your utmost priority to new things, opportunities, people and even places, is probably the only way to live a happy & content life. Easy said than done. This holds true for me as well, because I am someone who actually lives in past & thinks about future most of the times. But trust me, this is my experience with life that I could actually fetch nothing fruitful out of it. 

Except a realization that only when you live in present, you actually start enjoying your life completely !
