Passion for life !

For years i admired how may of my colleagues had passions with regards to work and their creativity. I always believed passion was what you totally dedicated yourself too at times it demanded alot of sacrifices too. Be it from your family or friends or just yourself. It's something i really felt good about and just wished I had it in me some day !

Was talking my dear Sushma yesterday and the subject of passion came up ...i was amazed how she described me as a person with passion for life ...in my head as she said that i thot " Nah nah you got the wrong person .. me passion ?? "

That's when she shared her understanding of passion ..." It's giving what you do or whatever you ...your 100 %. "

Well i am not yet sure if i do it all the time and for everything but i suddenly thought to myself " Yeah, WOW i do have Passion for life and things" It's been there all along yet i just kept looking at others and wondering when i will have it. This little understanding of her's made me feel great ...finally i had what i had all along ... he he he !

Thank you, Shushma for redefine what " Passion" really means.

Karle tu bhi muhabbat !

In my earlier post, I have written about Love ...my quest for it, my disappointments with it, my confusions about it, my faith in the the fact that some day it will come to me...

Though recently i have realized that how we constantly keep seeking love outside where as it resides within us.

Funnily, we don't love ourselves but expect to be loved by the world, we don't feel deserving enough and expect others to acknowledge us. Don't even dare to look into the mirror and compliment ourselves yet expect the world to shower us with compliments.

One of my dear colleague Kalyani ( Kallu is what i lovingly call her ) would do silly strange things like looking at her self in the lift mirror and tell her self how pretty she was and how beautiful she was and how nobody was as good , or how could any one be so beautiful ... we would have a big laugh at her act. Then , I found it silly but very very cute . May she always be the wonderful beautiful person she is always.

However today i feel how that silly act of her's makes her the cute, carefree, fun, loving and affectionate person she is and life seems just so beautiful, non complex.

I never could do that, Love myself that is. Struggled for years !

Though off late the good newz is I am falling in love ...in Love with myself ...and it feels amazing. Never felt better in my entire life ...Love after all is magical and healing !

Here's 2 para's from a recent film called " Life in a Metro". Find them really beautiful and give a high each time i hear them. Just describes my state of mind too ...

In dino, dil mera,

mujhse hai keh rahatu khaab saja,

tu ji le jarahai tujhe bhi izaazat,

karle tu bhi muhabbat - 2) - 2

berang si hai badi zindagi

kuchh rang to bharoon main

apani tanahaayi ke waaste abbb kuchh toh karoon) - 2

jab mile thodi fursat - 2,

mujhse karle muhabbathai tujhe bhi izaazat,

karle tu bhi muhabbat

Birth !

I just read a forward mail that showed the process of the baby's growth in the womb. It was really touching, the pictures specially. The article concluded by stating that " Child birth is not only a painful experience for the mother but the most traumatic and stressful experience for the child . However yet it is truely a Miracle !"

Which made me ponder...

Birth is truly a Miracle! I am not referring to child birth alone . I am referring to birth as a concept. I am realizing that it's a process that has it's highs and lows. However the one who can endure the process in it's completeness and accept it no matter what it brings up, is surely to experience and enjoy the miracle !

I am currently experiencing similar emotions as i am in the process of re- birth. Re birth of my thoughts, my belief systems, my emotions,my experiences and the way I live each situation in my life etc. It's a process and been quite a bumpy ride ...however it makes me look forward to the miracle called BIRTH ( re- birth in my case) !

Hugs are Free ...

Recently came across this beautiful video "Hugs are free" . It's my favourite subject and have written a post on same a called the Power of hugs a while back.

But I really believe in the power of hugs, how healing hugs are, Jadu ki Jhappi as Munna bhai calls it. At times i feel sad i got introduced to this healing process so late in life and missed out on affectionate hugs from a many such people in my life i will not get to see forever ... However as some one rightly said " Better late than never"

Njoy the film ... Hugs are surely healing and infectious !
