Minds Eye Of Life

“Happiness is not always outcome of an act, Happiness is at times the act itself. A lot of times happiness is lost, Lost in transition of thoughts. It would be much easier to be happy, By living more and thinking less.” I wrote the above lines and began to ponder why so much fuss about happiness.  I questioned myself, “Aren’t there multiple avenues leading to happiness?”  I let my mind go a little wilder and let it take trip of its own.  I dig deeper and realised that sadness is the key to realising the absence of happiness. More importantly the existence of happiness gains prominence because sadness exists.  A relation closely shared by truth and lies and also shared by light and darkness.  Some prefer silence than making noise; it’s the act of making a point by not making one. One can certainly be happy without going out in the wilderness hunting for happiness. Seeking the known which is camouflaged and labelled to be the unknown is...

Lost in the act of connecting the dots, Lines are drawn over and over again. Yet when I stand back and view them, They seem to be all haphazard. I take another step away from the lines, I stare at them as hard as I can, I realize they are drawn they were supposed to be, Just that they are not to my liking anymore. Some more dots and lines are drawn again, Hoping to realize the visualized thoughts, The act of creation is simply never ending. Perfection can reflect in abstract thoughts too, It’s just that you need to believe in them as true. - Cheers and Peace ~ Vijay Shenoy

Hey you stranger, Would you like to talk to me? I am feeling lonely tonight, Would you like to walk with me? Let’s share some stories, Stories of our lives, Some stories with a smack of salt, Some stories with a dash of sugar. The walk may not be long, The togetherness will be short, We may turn strangers again, As we reach the next crossroads. But the pain of separation wouldn’t be heavy, For our hearts will be lighter. We both will be smiling as we part ways, For our minds will be free of some baggage, And our hearts filled with love and joy. Cheers and Peace ~ Vijay Shenoy A.K.A #GabbyVJ

Can there be blue stars? Can there be a red moon? Can there be a white sun? Can there be a green sky? You may call them false dreams, You may call me stupid, They sure are figment of intuitive mind, Yet I would like to imagine the unreal. What you see may not be real, It’s real to you because they said so. What you hear may not be real, It’s real to you because they said so. Open up your mind’s eye, Open up to the unseen, Craziness is just imagination uncontrolled, But I would still be called stupid, It doesn’t matter anymore, For I feel being crazy is better than being unreal.

Right now the clock on my desk reads 07:54 AM and on this very same desk is are few of my friends swimming joyfully in the aquarium. Back of my mind a question pops up, "why you writing all this just hours before you rush to work?" I am doing this so that I can document my thoughts right now in my mind before they evaporate. Some confessions too are pending to be expressed. First thing first, the work-home-eat-sleep and the continuous loop that this process being followed had almost killed the real me. Killed it all until I came across an update that my blog has been nominated along with what I believe hundred or as I think thousands of other blogs for "The Indian Blogger Awards 2013 !" #IBAwards2013 organized by www.indiblogger.in   The nomination is a true story and you get the details by clicking this Link: http://www.indiblogger.in/iba/entry.php?edition=1&entry=41228 Confession number 1 is that the first reaction of mine to this was wow! It may or ...

No point trying to hide and always being on the run. Why fake when being real is so much fun. Sure they all may not love you, Some might treat you with disdain, But who cares what they think, What matters is if you are truly happy within. I know what I just said, ‘It’s all just too easy to say’, Sure nothing has ever been easy, Neither will it ever be. Dreams, desires and destiny, These tales of expectations will be never ending. Let’s stop believing in the reality others preach, We all can make our own reality. But what’s the joy if you don’t try, What’s the joy to lie down in a coffin sad one day? We all have wings, we all can fly, It’s just that we got to try. -           VJ Says ~ Cheers and Peace

Miles away in a distant land, A heart beats for a soul across seven seas. Their destinies are entwined mysteriously, But they shall never meet. The two souls don’t crave to be in each other’s arms, All that they share is a mystic bond. They never met ever before, Nor do they know if they will ever meet. She looks up at the sky and whispers words of love to the clouds, She hopes that they will travel to the other side of the world. He stands tall on the misty mountains, He tries to reach out to the messengers, the invisible clouds. This mystifying relation is pure and unadulterated, A relation incomprehensible to mortal fellow souls, They shall forever be anonymous lovers, Their love residing in forever sealed in each other’s spirit.   -        VJ Says ~ Cheers and Peace
