Minds Eye Of Life

There has been a long unexplained silence. No new blog post being penned... No words shared with the world... But then this can’t be forever. So the silence has thus been broken with this post. As the Cuban boy once said,  "And here we meet once again". A lot has happened between now and then. Many a thoughts took birth in my mind, a lot of them waned away, a few still stay afresh. But this is not a post to remember, cherish that has been forgotten. Somewhere during this phase of silent thoughts and violent dreams there was a realization. It really shouldn’t matter when I pen down my thoughts, what others think. For all you know only a miniscule number of people might stumble upon to this blog. Even if many were to discover the blogs existence it wouldn’t matter. This blog, more than anything else, is a way I converse with myself. Something that I realized off late, the element of introspection has been missing. To be it’s always been this blog. By staying a...

#Change "Don't blame the time if people have changed, Don't blame the people if time has changed. They say people change with changing time,  But then time doesn't change with changing people." #Reality "When I say its black, you say its white, When I say its White, they say its red, The choice colors change, so does the perspective, What stays constant is the fact that we are talking about color, Color is the reality, colors are how we perceive reality." - VJ Says ~ Cheers and Peace!

"Sometimes it might sound pointless to live a life you had not wished for, But then it’s never worth giving up a life you have for something you still don't have. Until you get to your destination its important you enjoy the journey, Its better to be philosophical than being cynical, any day." - VJ Says ~ Cheers and Peace!

In search of colours to brighten my soul, I step outside the imaginary walls, And so does the new journey begin. Never been certain what colour was my soul, But it sure was not grey as now. May be it was pink with love, May be even yellow with joy, Or maybe it was red, blue and green. Wonder aloud where did I lose those colours? What made them go light and disappear? Was it the pain I brought upon myself? Or was it all just my fear? It’s time now to smash out of the shell, Heaven within awaits with open arms. It’s time now to soak myself in joy, It’s time now to smile and ring the invisible bell. -          VJ Says ~ Cheers and Peace

No stories to tell, no poetries to recite just a thought to share triggered in my mind when I was walking back home after a tiring day at work. Why is it so hard to accept realities of life? Why we humans are so bent on complicating our lives? Humans as I believe are born with a simple path and even simpler thoughts. But as we grow older we just complicate our life. Then we reach point when we look back at our present and shout aloud, 'Life is complex'. We always find it hard to accept the realities of life. We like to defer it, hallucinate that the now we live is not what it is. Simply because it is not what we want it to be. Rather than accepting the present we have, we try to fight it in pursuit of something that we wish was the now! Sometimes in life its important to face the current, the real, the present. It may not be all that good, but the ones with the courage to accept the now the way it is, are the ones who can move forward to create the life we wish to li...

"Stay unsatisfied and hungry until you know you have got there, Let not the fire and urge in you die. Whatever it is that you are chasing, keep at it, Age as they say is just a number and for humans it only keeps increasing, Hope, Desires, Dreams, If you where to give it up all, You sure will never be happy. If you settled for less, you die for sure as an unhappy body  with a soul craving for one more chance."  #NoPhilosophyJustReality By Gabby VJ on #Dreams. These are the exact words itched on my Facebook wall by me a few minutes ago. The wall was too small compared to the thoughts I had in my mind. There are approximately over 7 billion people inhibiting on the very same planet that I live. So approximately 7 billion dreams a few conscious and most unconscious dreams being dreamt this very moment. Most of them might not come true. The reason might be many but to me the reason is just one. The unfulfilled dreams are the ones which we gave up on.

Wish it was easy to tell it all, Wish it was easy not to cry at all, What stops me I guess is the fear of the fall, The shadow of agony is only growing tall. Feelings don’t find words, But the music goes on. Thoughts stay caged for eternity, But our life goes on. Courage is what I need but I don’t seem to find any, Feelings stay unspoken, the reasons are many. Dreams have no feathers but they still fly, Tiny whisper tells me it’s all worth a try. -           VJ Says  ~ Cheers and Peace

The sun was going down; the sky was looking nothing short of an amazing piece of art with kaleidoscope of colours. They sat next to each other staring at the sun as it set. The evening breeze seemed to be playing with Chandani’s hair as they fell on her face. Rajiv gently moved her hair with his wrinkled hands to view her pretty face.

He picked up his iPhone lying on his desk and casually looked at the name being display. It was Sushmita, he received the call and said “Hello honey!” Sushmita sounded scared and petrified as she said, “Rohit, please come home. Please, I’m scared; I guess someone has broken into our house.” Rohit was about to ask her to calm down when the call got disconnected.

The flight had to make an emergency landing owing to the bad weather. After ten long years Sanjeev had finally decided to take a vacation. Akash had convinced him during a casual chat on Facebook the previous night that it was high time he broke out of the self imposed shell and fourteen hours later he was on his way to meet his childhood friend in Delhi.

I got up from my seat and screamed for no reason, “It’s time to head back to the village.” It was one of those random outbursts I usually have in office and my colleagues I assume are rather used to it now. And then there was small huddle and discussions followed as to how demeaning life seems to be these days. Everyone jumped from one topic to another and then it was time to head home.

"You want to lead an uncompromised life,  You want to be the rebel you are not,  But in the end you shy away from deep desires.

"Let her run wild, Let her fly high. Stop her not, all she wants is to kiss the sky.

“I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells.” – Dr. Seuss Nonsensical Rambling on # Life: "You know you are not happy, Yet you smile. You desire freedom, Yet you stay entrapped. You feel the dissent within, Yet you compromise. You know something died within, Yet you call yourself alive."

What sure incites my soul is that I am attempting to find my way back to doing what I like doing the most –“Writing cause I love to.” I am not sure if it’s a moonless night or starli t sky outside. Well either ways beauty exists in both. Such is life too, if you have the right attitude you can enjoy it even in the darkest hour as much as you enjoy it during your life’s happiest moments. Walking back home each day I meet a florist. Well she is not the one who owns an air conditioned store with fancy packaging service. She is just another ordinary woman trying to earn her living, weaving the flowers together on the street side. A complete stranger to me, yet when I pass by her we exchange smile. Her smile reflects satisfaction. Satisfaction, that she is enjoying her petty job more than that of the man who stops his swa...

I sat there on the rocks in the burning sun, The sea seemed to be still from distant shore, Life seemed like a struggle for a pointless cause, I thought it was all over now.

At that moment I felt a bit detached from my surrounding, yet I was smiling silently within. Few thoughts began forming in my mind and instinctively I kept typing them on my mobile phone. When I got home I told myself, I should probably share these thoughts. So here I’m sharing it with the world.
