Been about two months, since I last blogged, or visited a blog page to read something! Been living out of a suitcase, literally, and though most of these travels were fun and memorable, could not get myself to write as much as a post about them! And since, I used to coerce others to blog, it was a surprise when Purnima’s blog update made me realize, how much of this activity I have missed! I mean, I even got tagged, and didn’t know about it!! K
Well, currently, I am in one of those times in life, which can be called as a ‘transition phase’. A very memorable and eventful phase of my life seems to be receding into the background, along with all the people and experiences, it gave me. The imminent phase is also making its presence felt, and it is only meaning new people, and new experiences! A personal observation, that holds true for me is, if you observe closely, u will always find Life with all of its elements at work… ALWAYS! With all its little detailing and effects they have on you, and the people around you, life is always playing its game, silently, making its presence felt. We are usually so engrossed in playing it right, or getting through life, we forget to live it, or worse colour its game with all our assumptions, presumptions and judgments, that what may seem as a “reality” to us, is nothing but a perception of our outlook to the way things should be rather than the way things actually are or the way, it is intended to be! Just like DD’s friend says… “Life is Free, Jeene ka!”(lol)… All we need to do is observe, and we can very well understand how things are happening, and many a times, with all its reasoning too!
I read a very beautiful book recently, titled “The Inner Courtyard” which contained short stories by Indian Women Writers. Although each of them was unique, inspiring in its own way, and completely moving, at this moment, a short story by one of the authors, who describes, how living each moment, and then letting go completely of that moment, without any apprehensions, can save one a lifetime of regrets, stands out, for the way its simplistic philosophy can actually work wonder in all our lives!
(This is a serious post, after a long long time… so anything OTT, kindly adjust maadi! :P)
