"A celebration worth being a part of-  is a celebration of life"





Hope whatever I'm going to write here I'm able to do justice to the title. 

Sometimes we witness some such beautiful instances in life which get etched on our heart. Meet some such amazing people that a part of their personalities is left within us. Recently attended one such great event and made memories for a lifetime. 
Though it was a 40th birthday celebration of one of my very dear friend but I felt like it was a celebration of life. The sequence of events was planned and designed to be continued in a span of a month. Her better half who's a dear friend too, worked day and night (and I don't mean at office desk) to make that one special day most memorable for his beloved wife. Here I see the power of love. It really compels you to go out of your way to bring just that one smile on the faces of your loved ones. You connect with the universe and try to make the impossible possible for that one person who means your world to you. He truly did a fab job. Not in terms of the quantum of money spent but most amazingly the amount of effort and love he had put into it. Hats off!!

Such occasions make me wonder how beautiful it is to have at least few memorable celebrations in life. It shows us how much important we are for somebody. Our life is also worth living for and there are people who truly and dearly want us. Though at times you are critically judged also for living a larger life. People can't resist talking behind your back especially when they see you extremely happy in your space. When it might be a pompous show for few, for me, it is the true way of telling each other - 

May hell or high water come,
I'm always there to hold you in storm.
We might not have wealth to dine with wine,
I'll still try my best to bring sunshine.

Live,love & laugh should be the mantra to conquer your journey. As all three are interdependent. When you are happy, you can identify the true value of love and hence can live a great life. So to conclude I want to say - raise your toast, come and join me in the celebration of life.

Happy reading (:

"TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS AND SET ME FREE"

"Love" - this feeling and meaning of the word is learnt by us the moment we breathe inside our mother's womb. Since then we keep learning different perspectives about this expression through our life experiences. It is a very powerful and strong emotion felt by every living thing. Like a strong tree has many branches it does too have few - care, sacrifice, honesty, giving, patience, faithfulness, strong will. But if it is very beautiful it has a grey side too. It can really be ugly and devastating. There's lot of love out there, yet everyone seems unloved, detested and deprived. 

We often hear people saying - "love has really changed me as a person" or "I have become a better person after falling in love". While love is so empowering it's challenging too. It demands your heart and soul. It is like a flowing river in the deep valley of emotion with difficult rapids. Such beautiful feeling but has complexities of it's own.

Once you have let this emotion absorb you, you can never come out of it or would not want to so. It's an addiction without drug, an adrenaline rush without bungee, kind of lightheadedness without a sedative. It's a game changer or a life saver. 

When it's new, it's your world. But as time passes it turns into a mundane routine. We look for options in the desperation of change. We try to find the true deep meaning of it. And sometimes we eventually find ourselves in the process. A feeling which was pious than any God or religion, which was important than any work or relation, which was everything in this world changes into a burden. It seems like a trap with full of this and that. All of a sudden we want freedom, drugs, sedatives, independence, and yet want to be loved. Modern way of putting it is "give some space". 
When did your space was occupied? Or you let somebody come in? How much you practice what you expect? Who sets these parameters? All you wanted was me and now all you want from me is to take you in my arms and set you free....
