Minimalist!!

is it just me or is it normal to often sit and wonder "what the hell is going on in my life???"

well... i would rather not expect anyone to answer that.. but yes... that happens to be my frequent preoccupation lately... here is the thing... there is tough, hitch hike terrain awaiting my exploits... and there is the well worn, my usual, right by the rules outlet... oh yeah... not to forget... some deadlines to adhere to...

but most of all, the much needed decluttering of my mind... before you strain your brains, i have been slowly but definitely being influenced to incline towards "minimalism"... all thanks to a dear friend.. well... its a different thing that minimalism mainly refers to a simple living with most essential needs being met... and the

idea of "less is more"... you ought to start with decluttering your surroundings and believe it or not, at the end of it you will be surprised to see the amount of useless stuff that you have accumulated over time... its a great ideology... however, i am of the opinion that we actually need to start decluttering form our minds... that is where everything begins... have you ever wondered what amount of information, some dangerously important and much more utterly useless has been piled up in our tiny little brains?? we hold on to lot of our experiences.. memories from the past that haunt us or bring smiles.. innumerable tiny worthless details and painful past that holds us back from a peaceful happy present... we are susceptible to fear... fear of under performance ..fear of society... of family... fear of living our dreams... or taking the risk... well, the only purpose it serves is reminding us that we are human... and fear is normal... it is indeed important to understand that we all make mistakes... some with horrible consequences... some that leave us scarred.. but once we are in the game of life, its essential to learn to suture.. to heal...to let go.. and to celebrate our wounds... than to let them consume our future... its hightime i take a stand... parade my priorities... refine my memory bank... and start being a true minimalist!!! cheers...


PS: me gusta mi minimalista!!

return!!!

Back again...after few months of no show... i return with more questions!!.. how do you even begin to introspect... where do you start... at times life gets so messed up that you know not where to begin....
if you find yourself falling head over heals for a person, if you are normal...your first instinct is to dream and paint every possible lame bollywood story that you have come across in your tiny little mind and then give way to apprehension about whether it will actually pan out well.... but for some screwed up people who have had a better share of bitter experiences, its more than natural to be at the verge of quitting even before they try their hand at normal... well... who am i to decide normal cause that is a very relative term.... but for what its worth, its impossible not to TRY when the most desirable, the closest to the person of your dreams is right in front of you... tantalizing with every move, every word, every slight look... even to the most cold hearted , cynical person.. (me included in this category )... how does a kid resist from devouring its favorite chocolate when it has been served to perfection???? how do you choose to be a loser and flee even before the battle has begun??? how do you yield to the norms put forth by the so called perfect society with all its imperfections??? how do you stop your heart pounding at the thought of that wonderful moment that you shared??? life always renders you helpless, at crossroads.... but it is for you to make the choice... the one that will be to your satisfaction... that choice which will not wake you up in the depths of night as night mares... the choice that u shall uphold with no regrets.... i have heard a million times that its hard to be yourself in this demanding man eating world... but i have tried telling that to myself even more number of times and its still a challenge... that passion within you that gives innumerable ideas to try, some crazy..some wild..some just outrageous... but totally because you are burning...that fire within you is not ready to take no for an answer... sometimes you keep trying even when your mind is commanding to retreat... cause that blood pumping machine in you commands otherwise... and its so hard not to follow your heart... for all those out there, trying beyond limits to devour their favourite chocolate, stop not until you are completely wasted...
don't give up... just be you... cause life is too short to try to be someone else...
