That Little Thing called Love


Few things in life are permanent. Like love that never fails when everything else does. Love, that can raise you up and lift your spirits when you feel like you are down the drains. It is the only permanent thing in this world that is quite enough to help you get through another day.
Because love changes you in ways more than one and makes you want to be a better person. It gives you a chance to accommodate the needs and dreams of another person other than yourself, and allows you to extend greater kindness that you never knew you’re capable of.
Love extracts from us, a will that is stronger than we can imagine; courage that lies buried inside of us until somebody special comes along and we are capable of daring and risking. Such power that it engulfs us with the passion to take the road less traveled, even if it means losing some less important trophies in life because the prize you’re holding on to, is worth much more than all other things.
Such a little word used too often, but absolutely the most powerful thing that can transform your life, shape your destiny and reap you a lifetime of happiness if only we knew the power of love. But how does this beautiful mystery work? Love, that many of us fail to understand when it starts to hurt and we begin to question. The amazing fact is that all other emotions are fleeting and never ever permanent. We may feel anger, fear, pain, shame, hurt, or anything else that isn’t love but they never last.
Love is that extraordinary emotion that is capable of erasing all the things that can injure our souls. For the simple fact that a word said, or a deed done out of love can magically conquer a hurting moment, is proof enough that love is the greatest gift we can share with people around us.
If in silly, little instances of love, we can already find happiness that’s capable of surmounting the ugly circumstances, then, there is nothing that love cannot do. For change, progress, development, and for our ultimate quest for life, which is happiness, love is all we need. For when love surfaces, all other things like cheating, unfaithfulness, hatred, jealousy, anger, revenge, etc squander.
Yes, they say Valentine’s Day is for lovers. But I am sure this doesn’t mean love is confined only to those couples who claim to have found their soul mates. Because then, love would be flawed and limited. More importantly, because love is for everyone, especially those who are willing to open their hearts and accommodate somebody else’s happiness, simply by way of sharing and that somebody doesn’t necessarily have to be your so called soul mate. 
Nonetheless, let our love for that special someone or love for our people, our society, our land and our own selves be reason enough to make us agents of change. The kind of change, that we all aspire for…but can only come from love.

Never forget your roots

Some of you might have come across the tipping story of the world’s richest man who astonished a waiter with his reply. It is said that when Bill Gates tipped the waiter who served him in a restaurant with a 5$, the waiter had a strange feeling in his face. After Gates realized and asked what happened, the Waiter said, “I'm just amazed because on the same table your son gave a tip Of 500$, and you his father, the richest man in the world gave only 5$.” Gate’s reply to this, which goes, "He is the son of the world's richest man, but I am the son of a wood cutter. Never forget your past!" forms the essence of roots that I wish to talk about. I found this story inspirational. It is hard to remain grounded after we become somebody. When a little achievement, some wealth and fame greet you, it is easy to leave behind your roots as though it has nothing to do with your life. Not to talk of becoming very powerful, extraordinary people, but even in our ordinary circums...

Life goes on....

Sometimes you question life but the answers never come. It is simple when you are a child. Full of life, full of dreams, and you’re content...really happy too! Scraped knees hurt only for a while…You hurt but you forget, and you’re back to smiling, back to living….you seize life effortlessly, and you just get on with it. Childhood’s so precious don’t you think? But we never realize. When we are small we never realize that life is too short and every moment counts…everything feels like an illusion, a magical world but it’s only because we just know how to live it to the full when we are children… SOMEDAY, everything changes. You are older and the picture is different. You are happy and you are sad! Happiness fleets and the pain lingers… The past never changes, and each time you resolve to make every minute count, something happens that you don’t understand. You lose people. People, you thought would be around all your life…those, you joked with, talked with...

TRAVEL TRAVEL TRAVEL

Many of us dream to travel the world when we grow up. To see what life looks like beyond the figments of our imagination. To see a new place, explore and experience. Practically speaking, it is impossible to go around the world in a lifetime. For most of us, this dream remains only a dream because as we grow older, we also find that our priorities change. The little of the world we have seen beyond our homes remain only the few places we have ventured out to, for studies, work, or health care and hardly leisure. Afterwards, travelling becomes a luxury that only rich people with time can afford. We could be fond of travelling, but even that becomes a not-good-enough-reason to pick a suitcase and go somewhere just like that. We are battling against time and money, priorities and families- the process which is likely to go on till we age and are no longer eager to see that new place anymore. This, however, does not necessarily mean that we cannot travel anymore in the positions we...
