Zest for Life!

Have any of us given a thought as to why we live?Does we live only becoz we are provided a life and hence we are supposed to live or else does we all have a purpose for our life?Iam sure only a very few fall under the thought of the latter category I have quoted here.In that case what is it that drives such people to go forward with their life?What is that innate power that boosts them?Where do they get the energy ..the Thrive..the Yearning to live a beautiful life ..(although the definition for "beautiful life" varies for each one of us!).

The passion one has for his life is never bound by what had happened to him /her in the past, but by the focus, the energy that god bestows us to stand before him, and to abide by the duties he had placed for each and everyone of us.It is his strength on which we live...we thrive...
This doesn't mean that one has to give away all his enjoyment ...fun...to fully streamline oneself to his/her duties ...but take it along while u enjoy ur life....Life is for living ...enjoy it to the fullest..Life should be a proper blend of both of these....One should have optimism for the future..Life is not always a bed of roses...It is said that inner strength comes from struggle and endurance...and one should face and surpass all the difficulties with utmost courage and strength ,and by being positive towards your life will never end up ,u running into a bay of darkness.One can relish from one's life if he/she have the passion ,the vitality and energy for life.



The straightcut way to boost yourself and mould yourself the way you want to and to find what is it that is hindering you to move with your life is to ask oneself certain questions like..
"Is there somethng missing in my life?","Do I long to change the way I feel about myself?" ,"Am I feeling stuck and don't I have the energy to change?","Have I got much more inside of me than I am expressing rite now?".
All this simply means that discover who you really are..what you really want ...and what you are really capable of in this life....These days there are no limit to what anyone can achieve and no age barriers either.We all have certain burning ambitions and its all about showing that its never too late to bring a desired dream to life.Most cynical individual unlock creativity,add sparkle to life ,boost self confidence and reshape your world from simply existing...to bouncing out of bed each day!No matter who you are and what you can do.....just take the initiative...success is just the second part!

Trying to think all the possible ways as how to get the best out of life will shove you lot many ways to do the same.Success is what is measured by others but satisfaction is what is measured by you.Always have a look at how far you have come and how far you can still go further.Many may wonder or find it difficult to find the purpose for their life...If you can't find it..create it..
Life is not a process of discovery..but a process of creation!Face your past without regret.Handle your present with confidence.Prepare for the future without fear.Keep the faith and drop the fear.Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs.Life is a mystery to solve ..not a problenm to resolve.Life is wonderful if you know how to live.Always remember that..
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!"

How Assuasive are Songs!!!!



Now, sitting in my cubicle and listening to a beautiful love song.."kuch is tarah teri palkein"....i really dont know which world Iam in....in fact to which world has this song taken me!! Iam sure almost all of you would agree to me when i say that listening songs really play an important part in our life ..in one way or the other.To be frank,i do live on them...can't imagine my life without songs....!I dont really remember wen I fell in love with them...infact I had a connection....a "divine connection ", I would like to say.From childhood itself I was mad about music..to be succinct, .romantic numbers...it always have had a pacifying effect whatever state my mind was in.


There has been many situations in my life when songs have been a great support to me...I preferred to be alone ..still I prefer to be alone ....especially whenever sometin hurts my mind....Listening to soothing numbers in such situations hav really helped me a lot to pour out all my sorrows ....and regain the balance of my mind.I have read somewhere that songs are used to cure many ailments ... many a times it is used as a depression treatment where in vibrations are used to restore balance in affecting blood pressure,breathing ,pulse,body rythms and tension.In many of our films the effect of songs have been shown(mostly it is hyped ),but what I have found from those are that... ya...songs do create an impact in our body n soul ..gives us some kind of strength , both mentally and physically which , some may feel and some may not.Have a look at this link

Our Indian history has also witnessed the power of music,in the form of Miyan Tansen ,one of the navaratnas(9 jewels) in the court of Mughal Emperor,Akbar.Among the legends about Tansen are stories of his bringing down the rains with Raga Megh Malhar and starting fires with the legendary raga Deepak. Other legends tell of his ability to bring wild animals to listen with attention (or to talk their language). Once, a wild white elephant was captured, but it was fierce and could not be tamed. Finally, Tansen sang to the elephant who calmed down and the emperor was able to ride him.Even the old testament mentions music therapy where King David is said to have cured an illness by playing on the harp.

Music Therapy ,as it is called is a proven scientific method to cure diseases through the power of music. It restores, maintains and improves emotional, physiological and psychological well being. The articulation, pitch, tone and specific arrangement of swaras (notes) in a particular raga stimulates, alleviates and cures various ailments inducing electro magnetic change in the body.As Iam from down south of India,I have had a chance to learn classical music and have come to know(though very little) the impact that different ragas create in our minds.It has been said that repeated listening to a particular raga invokes a particular mood in the listeners.For more information check out this linkhttp://www.indiaprofile.com/ayurveda/musictherapy.htm


In a nutshell,Music/songs are the best tranquilisers in the modern era ...where in people including myself is struggling with a life in a small box called cubicle and another tiny box called computer.!

"Kuch is tarah teri palkein meri palkhon se mila de
Aansu tere saare meri palkhon pe saja de...
Tu har ghadi har waqt mere saath raha hai
Haan ye jism kabhi door kabhi paas raha hai
Jo bhi gham hai ye tere unhe tu mera batah de...

Mujhko tho tere chehre pe ya gham nahin jajtha
Jaayaez nahun lagtha mujhe gham se tera rishtha

Sun meri guzarish ..inhe chehre se hata de..."

Handling Relationships.....

Many a times I do wonder seeing my parents who handle each other so well , eventhough small fights keeps on happening..so many misunderstandings keeps on swirling between them.Earlier even I thought I would be able to handle all my relationships with the same attitude that my parents used to show with each other.Never at any point in my life ,till now, have I thought a moment will huddle in front of me where I'l be standing facing so many relations ...and not knowing how to handle each of them in its own way!
Iam here talking about the relationship basically vth my peer opposites...I was too late compared vth others to start making up good relations vth my peer opposites..I never cared about having such bonds and was totally unaware of what it brings out in my life...The start of such a relationship had given me so much so happiness....(now i wonder if it was really meant for me!)...so much have changed in me ever since.I used to feel ecstacy at one point in my life...but as life moves on, a wierd thought has hastened my mind so efficaciously that I have started having a conflict nevertheless so ravishing!
I was able to take away all my relationships so smoothly along with my life..but now something strange ...some unknown gust of thought has wrapped me up which is giving me a tough time handling my relationships..Now I wonder why have I gone deep into many a relationship..I wonder did I really had to go such deep??At times I feel I hate all those who have been my close ones...I feel I should never have had any of them ....Iam independent..I ought to be independent...

I really dont know what have made me think like this..but as of now am really having a tough time sustaining all the relationships..some, which have unknowingly been mended and some which I myself have mended ...I feel to breakup all the links that have kept me bound in this small litttle world of mine..I thrive..i long to be myown self...I have always been under the influence of one or the other..previously i loved to be under the influence of someone...i loved to have someone to take control of me..but now i truely hates anything thats trying to make its impact on me...I purposely avoid all such moves all such minute happenings that may have had some impact on me...I always yearned to be independent..to be my own...but never have i been able to achieve what i actually wanted....Today,still I dont feel I have or I will be able to climb even one of th steps to my desire...but may be that longing for my independence have suddenly become so strong that it has started erupting out of my mind so furiously indicating what i have always thought,perhaps is not that far ........
