Cheers to Now!!

Most often than not, we humans are more interested in what is to come than what we have right now. The present is sidelined and all the planning happens for something that may, or may not exist at all.

In my many years of absence from writing, I learnt a lot many things, most important being that if we forget to live now, tomorrow might just be more lifeless than today. I have been so engrossed in Life, that I didn't realize when it just passed by!

Our lives are so revolved around protecting the next page in life that Today's page is left unattended, unfilled and blank. There is always something more important than doing what we want to, what we love to. Others take priority and living is lost!

Looking back at all the empty pages, which I could have filled with so many beautiful memories, the only thing I can say is , it's best if we concentrate on filling up the Now, it will help in building a beautiful and peaceful tomorrow.

Life is better celebrated when we can go back to the pages of the past and live them once more through the memories that we have stored in there.

So here's to living Today and enjoying it to the fullest, tomorrow may or may not come, if it does it's a fresh page to start with!!

Cheers!!!

The First Rain!!!

Rains!!! They always have something attached to them, don’t they?


The thunders, the lightning, even the power cuts, and above all The Memories! The Bitter-Sweet Memories!!

No matter how hard we try to forget them or bury them deep inside our hearts, the first rain has some power that just breaks them free..

The paper boats made with friends as a child…

The garam chai and the pakore platter enjoyed amongst the laughter of the family…

The hours spent in rain crying the heart out over silly teenage fights..

The hours spent dreaming about your love and wishing they were with you…

The list goes on…

They just keep pouring from the hearts abyss, long after the raindrops recede.

The heart continues its journey into the past recollecting the moments that once gave it a hope.. a strength and the love!!!

And somewhere along the journey it returns to the present, its hands filled with the gift of renewed hopes and begins the old life afresh.. getting drenched in the happiness that surrounds everywhere after the rain,.. Enjoying the scents of the past and cherishing each moment of the present creating new memories in the pockets washed clear by the rains…

And awaits the next rains, to once again begin a journey down the lanes which otherwise lay forgotten…
