In this fast paced life, do we sometimes feel the urge to just halt life where it is? To just take in what is happening around us, to feel every emotion in its true form. Sometimes I get a feeling that I am standing at a cross road and looking into the daze and everything around me is moving. It feels like my life has halted and the ground below me is moving and moving so fast, that I have lost my control over it.
If only life was a video player which had a pause, play,
rewind and forward button. I would pause my life to get hold of what is gone
away and brace myself for what is to come and then play it again. How serene
would it be if I could rewind and relive all those beautiful memories again and
change the wrong doings? But life doesn’t come with an eraser, but it does with
a permanent marker. Be wise to not let the unimportant colors fill your
bulletin board leaving no space for the marks that beautify the board of your
life. The ugly chapters need not be wiped out but they can definitely be over
shadowed by the ones who deserve the space.
As I sit on my office desk sipping a cup of green tea staring
into my laptop screen to find piles and piles of pending work, I realize that
life has played and played out really fast. The moving tide of this paced life
has dragged me with it.
Maybe you think I am one of those who is lost at the hands of
life. But let me tell you, I am not done just yet. This one was not just about
somebody ranting about his/her life. It’s about someone who has accepted the
beauty that lies in the confusions, mistakes and hurdles in this crazy messed
up world.
If only we had the ability to enjoy life’s testing and pass
with flying colors. This test, the test of life would turn out to be more
difficult than an IIT/IIM exam. But just maybe the fruits are far more
rewarding. The hidden beauty in the everyday goof-ups, the perfections within
the imperfections trying to peek-a-boo in our lives. It’s just how well we see
them, recognize them and make an effort to let them make a difference in our
small world. The magic you feel within knows no boundaries. It needs no
accolades and it needs no material objects to testify its existence. The joy of
living and feeling every chaos is worth more than any great perk.
The smiles of sharing, the tears of true friendship and the
feeling of being loved lies just somewhere within the pandemonium of office,
the noise of work and the silence of loneliness.
So don’t let the wrapper on your chocolate stop you from
relishing the sweetness of your dreams. Because the true taste of life lies in
the untagged, unknown and undiscovered moments. So don’t just live, but feel
the life within the breaths you take. Enjoy the mistakes you make and learn from
them. Because no sorrow can take away the right of feeling from you. Feel the
sorrow, it’s a part of your life. It’s an emotion worthy to be felt but not
worthy enough that it lets you forget the gift of ecstasy.
So cherish and live every moment!
