The Power of Moments


Thoughts...


They just keep coming to our mind.. We keep thinking over them for a longgg time (or for a short while) and then we just leave them in a unknown-dark corner and go ahead with the other one.. Thats how we all think.. (Thats what I think at least !!! ) Or in the other words, thats how we live.. Isn't it so??

I think sometimes that there were some really beautiful moments in my life and I just never realised the beauty of it.. I wish I could live them again, but I know I can't..

This thought process started around a week ago when I was chatting to one of my friend and she said that she had to leave because her mom was calling her for lunch.. I realised how beautiful moment it was for her.. But probably, she was completely unaware of it.

I remembered the time when my mom used to cook food and call me. I used to rush to the dining table to have the best food in the world. But at that moment I never realised the absolute beauty of that moment. It was one of the best times of my life when I used to have that world's best food served in my plate.

And my friend is so lucky that she has the same opportunity today as well but she is not realising the beauty of it. Nobody among us will probably realise it when we live such a moment. Its not her's or anybody's fault. Its how we all are. I also realised the beauty of it because I want to hear the same call today but I cant. Just because my mom is in India and I am here in Germany.

Probably we realise the importance and power of everything when we don't have it. Why don't we realise it when we have it with us?? Its the biggest weakness a human can have and unfortunately, most of us have it. Atleast I realise that I do have it.

Its not just about the dining table part but about all the valuable moments that I have lived in my life. Just remember the comfort we used to get in the laps of our mother. I can surely say that it was the best place in the world. All tensions gone in a second. Freshness used to rush into my body in a moment. The place where I used to relax like no where else in the whole world. It was a magic. Really, it was just like a "Jaadoo Ki Jhappi" which used to make me relax like no other thing in the world can make.

There is another incident that I would like to mention here. Its just another thought that came to my mind which I would like to share with you all.

Somedays back, I was watching the movie called 'The Namesake'. There was a very small scene in the movie where the father takes his child to the rocks in the sea holding his finger. I thought, How confident that child must be feeling after holding the hands of his father. He could never have gone to this place alone but he is there because he knows that his father is there with him. Nothing bad can happen to him coz he has his protector with him. The Strongest Person in the Whole World is with him.

Father's hand, surely the most powerful grip in the world for all of us. Its the Magical Grip that makes you fearless, The Grip that gives you so much of confidence that you can turn every impossible into possible. Its amazing. Isn't It??

There are lot of moments that I miss today. Probably, holding someone's hand and taking a silent walk was never so meaningful for me as it is today. Travelling in a rickshaw in cold or a local bus trip was never so beautiful for me. I realise today the beauty of 'A Silent Look' that I could have never realised in my life. A moment of such a precious and priceless look is the one I would like to live again. And not just again, but again and again, for the whole of my life.

I remember the words from the movie Bluffmaster. We all aspire for a long life but how many days we would like to live again from the life that we have lived till now. We surely can count them on our fingers.

I must mention the Golden words that i heard somewhere,
Life should not be long, Life should be Big.
Lets start cherishing the beauty of life.. Lets start living every moment of it.. Moments are precious.. Lets not loose them just like that.. We need to get the best out of every moment that we live.. Lets not just exist, lets live..

Lets be happy.. Lets give happiness to everyone.. Lets let others be happy..

Lets Realise the real Power of every moment we live.
Beleive me, every moment is truly priceless..

Its my point of view...

Well Well Well.. I am writing this blog after a long hour of thinking... Why do I write blogs?? Why do people write blogs??

I think I am trying to share my "POINT OF VIEW" with the people.. So this blog is dedicated to the point of views we all have...

I think the most interesting part of the human nature created by GOD is this "Point of View" thing. Well, the most amazing fact is that there are uncountable number of people in this world but no 2 people have exactly same point of view regarding anything.. Well, every one has a good way to defend by saying,"Look at it from my angle.." but I dont know how many such angles exist in this world..

Well I think I need to attend my geometry classes again to understand some different angles which I am not aware of as yet.. Or there might be some angles not yet discovered by Geometry itself... Another "point of view" that I have, well try to think over it from my angle... Hahaha..

Well, its quite normal if you ask anyone, "Why do you think so...", he or she will be ready with an explanation according to his/her point of view.. If you ask a beggar, why is he begging when he can work, he will explain his position.. You ask a terrorist why is he into terrorism and he has his own explanation ready... I think everybody is right in His/Her place, everyone has His/Her point of view and do things accordingly..

But the main question arises that If eveybody is right, then who is wrong?? Why do people fight?? Why do we have problems?? Why do we have wars?? I seriuosly dont know.. I guess, we all should try to find an answer to it...

One point that I can think of is that we all have point of views of our own, but what we are lacking on is respecting other's point of view.. The worst thing in most of us is that "We think something, we justify it to us and we make it as a principle for all of us.." We actually lack in thinking from other person's point of view.. I guess we must learn to respect other's thoughts and their point of views as well..

Even if we disagree with anyone's point of view, there is always a decent and a respectable way of disagreeing.. Now this is something we all must take care of.. If we make this as one of the principles of life, I guess world would be a much better place to live in..

I must confess here that I am the one who needs to adopt this in my life badly.. I will try to get this in my nature, would like if others do it too.. But at last, Its your Point of View to take it or not.. Whatever your thoughts on this may be, I would respect it..

Now that was just a point of view from my side.. Lets see how much your point of view matches with mine.. Or may be we need to think over it from a "different angle".. Who knows..

Will write again soon..

Its all about TIME......

Well well... A Blog after a longgg time.. What have I been doing all these days?? Why am I so delayed in posting my next blog???

Well, the basic reason, as most of us say, is that I did not fine TIME..
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
- Emily Dickinson
Well, I strongly believe that its the biggest excuse that most of us use. Well, everyone has 24 Hours in a day, 60 minutes per hour and as a matter of fact, 60 seconds per minute. But managing the same is truly an art.
The One who knows how to manage time learns how to live life...
- My Thought
I have been always thinking that I will start managing my time efficiently but one thing or the other keeps me away from it. I believe, that "Preference" is only one reason for the success and failure of a man at the same time. Well, I hope most of you will agree to this thought of mine.

We always have the same time duration with us. Some of us like to sleep, some to watch movies, others to go to gym, many of them to play games and so on. There are endless activities that you have to choose from. Its choice is entirely yours.
They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
- Andy Warhol
So, as I have discussed what is lacking in most of us, What is the way out? What is that one thing which can make us achieve what allmost all of us are striving for? What will make us SUCCESSFUL?
"Time is the one thing we possess. Our success depends upon the use of our time, and its by-product, the odd moment."
– Arthur Brisbane

Well, I have given it a thought a number of times.

The first thing that we need to define is GOAL. Imagine a traveler traveling days and night in a direction without knowing where he wants to go. Well, however hard he works or however extra effort he puts in, if he does not know where to go, his all efforts are meaningless. So, we need to work towards our goal.

Once the goal is defined, we need to plan a way to achieve it. A course of action predefined always helps one in achieving the goal. Just imagine the same traveler knowing that where he has to go,but not knowing which path to follow to reach the goal. So, formulating a path i.e. an action plan is very important.

If the action plan is ready then the next thing to do is to strictly follow the action plan. There will be so many things that come your way as distractions. One or the other thing will be alluring you, will try to take you away from your action plan. Imagine our traveler traveling towards his desired goal but in the way decides not to go towards his destination but starts following some other path. All efforts and dedication he has put until now goes in vain.

A winner is the one who sticks to the action plan. It is quite easy to pen down this line but to actually stick to your action plan is really really difficult. I guess this is the stage where the winners take advantage over the loosers.

"Time is the scarcest resource of the manager; If it is not managed, nothing else can be managed."
– Peter F. Drucker

Time is a great resource. The beauty of this resource is that it is in abundance, but it is still scarce. We all know that there are times to come but if we do not use the present time in a proper way, may be the times to come will not be as beautiful as it should be. So, lets learn to use this resouce efficiently so that our future is as beautiful, as it should be.

Remember :

"We never shall have any more time we have, and we have always had, all the time there is."

Love - It Rules the world....

Hey All,


This is my very first blog. Well, what should it be all about??? I think it should be about something that is beautiful.. Something that is common and relevant to all of us... Something that is close to every one, something that is in every one's mind... And now after considering a loooooooong list of possible options, I think it should be LOVE...

"Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love... "

But, What is Love??? Well, I think it is very difficult to define Love... It is the real essence of life. It gives us a meaning to live, a motive to work, a reason to cry and everything that we do is guided by Love.

Love is when you look into someone's eyes, and suddenly, you go all the way inside, to their soul... and you both know, instantly.

Love is truly an amazing thing and by far one of the most indefinable feeling we can experience. Hopefully if you were lucky by your mid-twenties you have experienced its blissful sting at one point or another. An emotion that fully enflames your soul. The food tastes better, the wine is perfect. The sky is sunnier, the grass is greener and generally, life has a few complaints.

The nature of this emotion is so bewildering and yet oddly exciting. Perfectly rational people act like lunatics when love is threatened.

People will have their own perspectives but I truly believe that its Love that rules not only an individual's entire feelings but actually rules him in every matter. “Love is all around”. To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another. To love and be loved is like feeling the sun from both sides.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

– The Bible : 1 Corinthian

The love of a family is life’s greatest blessing. We learn to smile from our parents.

A mother lives for her child, she understands what her child does not say. That’s love. A Father works hard to earn for his child whom he loves. Even a child in its mother’s lap, who does not know how to speak, loves its mother...

“In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.”

Well, the first thing every one of us learned was Love. And I am not sure if we learned it or we brought it as a part of us to this world. It will always remain a mystery.

And it’s quite ironical (but still its true) that the feelings like Jealousy and Hatred are a product of LOVE. You dont agree, well then lemme explain...


Jealousy typically refers to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that occur when a person believes a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival. Jealousy and envy easily destroy relationships that otherwise were perfect.

"Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together:
at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit."
- Alexandre Dumas

A love-hate relationship often occurs when people have completely lost the intimacy within a loving relationship, yet still retain some passion for, or perhaps some commitment to each other.

“Hatred ever kills, love never dies. Such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.”

Its really amazing that Love can make all of us fight too, Isn't it?

And truly, 'We live and We Die for Love...'

No one amongst us can live without Love. People do Love the feeling of holding an unborn child and people do love the dear ones after they die.. So Love prevails even when people actually do not exist... Its amazing, isn't it..


What a grand thing, to be loved! What a grander thing still, to love!

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. I don't know how much you people will agree to it but for me the real meaning of life is to Love.

So, Love the nature around you. Love the people around you. Love the real essence of Love..

"Remember, No one can rule the world...
Its LOVE that rules the world."

I never knew there would be a better tomorrow 
But you've come into my life and taken away all my sorrow
My days of sadness are a thing of the past 
Because I have found true love at last
My days of emptiness are gone for good 
Because you fill a void in my heart that you should
 You've opened a window 
You've shown me the light
And my love for you will continue to burn bright. 
                                                            -  Yvonne Warren.

NOTE : Well, I have to admit it here that I do not have the capability of putting ideas in words so beautifully. And even here, the words are not chosen by me only. One of my good friends, Kanika Gupta has helped me in putting words at the place they were supposed to be. I shared my ideas and a drft version of the article with her and she has indeed made a cluttered place look like a beautiful garden, a garden that is full of beautiful flowers.

I would like to thank her for helping me in writing my first blog.
