Little Things

-

A big question I always ask myself  : "what happened? "
What happened to me. I was full of life and energy. I was a fighter who could defy all odds and get my things done. All of  a sudden I am loosing.....I cannot fight anymore. I am just tired. Tired of the ways things are shaping up.I have been reduced to a mess. I have been chained to shackles of helplessness,negativity and de-motivation. I want to live. Like I have lived before. All the smiles,  laughter and companionship  at present are fake. I am going into a known oblivion.I miss those days when I used to laugh with my friends,  family and compatriots. It seems that nobody cares now...... I want to get there,  I want to go back to my old days.
People claim that they are with me,  but I know that at the back of their mind,  they have distanced themselves from me.Using me for their personal benefits. Once this is done,  I am history. Well,  that's how a human mind works! At war,  you cannot always take the bullet,  you need to give some too. That's how  it works.. Guess I have learned this full time now.......
{ from the diary of a man who has been there,  done that.! }

But isn't that what life is all about? We fall down,  we cry about it for a while and eventually sooner or later we go on with our lives. Sometimes the process takes longer than others. Sometimes we sit on the dirt waiting for someone else to pick up our bikes and make everything OK. The truth is,  we are the only ones that can pick up the bike and decide how much farther we will paddle. The road of life awaits you...
Remember when life was simple and all it took to be satisfied was a fresh banana and a glass of milk?  What was memorable?  The warmth of the glass or the flavour of the banana.?
It's the little things in life that makes the difference... Does the love of your life remember your first date?  Does the son care his dad bought him a new toy?  or does he remember that dad came and watched every practice and came to every game?  It means nothing to you, but it could make someone else 's life much brighter.
The sun rose today. What have you done ? The sky is blue and gold.  Where are you?

Ask yourself , "what's holding you back?  Where have you gone wrong?  When will you succeed?  "..If you find no answers,  or the answers sound like excuses,  then the answer is not in the Why?,  but in the Why Not? "

Tally HO...!

"The Writer's Block"

-
  A   friend recently took me aside and made a point. He was not worried about how I would react. I was nervous too. Of what he would say to me.. Then he made a point …… He asked me to continue writing . He asked me why I had stopped publishing what I used to do before. People out there are looking forward to what I write….Now he wanted me to get going and write… This has prompted me to write and publish again what I lost and missed…. To hell with the ‘Writer’s Block’. When I listened to him that day, I understood that Writer’s Block was not the problem.. The problem laid in ‘not writing anything at all’ ! What I understand is that the only people who think writing is easy are those people who don’t write at all !   No ? The ‘writers block ‘ is not the problem here. It is the fear of not writing well. I am not here for an award or an accolade, I am here because I write and somehow I stopped in between. My audiences here today, may seem a little surprised……but that’s...

The Heart story

  Everybody knows now ….. today , it’s an old story..!.. But concerned people still ask me how I feel and how I am faring with my health …….. I’ve been deliberately taking some time   out here…..you know ?.....giving me some space….. giving myself , that much needed ‘ME ‘ time…. I exercised right ….I ate right ….no cheating foods in between hours….my colleagues at office can vouch for me….no oil , no much sweet , no much sour or hot things…. Then why did I get that stroke , when I got one ? You know , I’ve read it somewhere …… that having an Heart Attack is like a surprise party… where , except for presents , you get an ambulance ride ….! Hahahahaha.. I guess , my heart couldn’t handle all the excitement in my life ….ummmm….too many of them ……It was time to switch to a boring routine……..! It had me boggled over and over again…..Why me ? Why ….after all these years ……….I smoked ….all right ! But then last time I checked ( you know where )   …..….my lungs were clear a...

Other Words !

  After some good days ….more news from the planet ! The red hot Sun is turning into dark red and thus spoiling the get-togethers we usually have from 10:00 Am to 7:00 PM……no ? Is it out of context ?…..Yeah….I know ….this is not me……how do I convert myself from a boring article writer to what’s happening at the core of our planet ?    Not me ! Boring ….yeah….getting older , day by day ..ummm….actually I don’t mind getting older ….you know !...but my body is taking it badly….hahahahahaha….! You feel like your warranty has expired and the parts are beginning to wear out ! I was reading a story on Jesse Owens and how he defeated the German athlete Luz Long at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. Hitler was mad at Long , but he bowed down to Jesse and congratulated him in full view of the crowd. Luz Long and Jesse became best friends and when WW2 started , Long wrote a letter to Jesse from the war front. He wrote “ ( paraphrased by me ) I want to meet my wife. I have not seen my...
