Smile..Its Free Of Cost....

What is free of cost, easy to do, less work and very pleasing? It takes 2 muscles to do it as well. Just 2. It’s a smile. Why is it so difficult to smile? Why don’t we smile more often? I mean what are we so angry or sad about. It’s strange to see the ones who have everything are the ones who smile the least. Is it that we can never be satisfied or it is that we just cannot bring ourselves to smile? Sometimes we seem to worry too much into the future. We think that if we are happy today we must be cautious cause tomorrow we might not be happy for the very reasons we are. I don’t get the logic cause if we don’t enjoy the moment now thinking about the tomorrow that we know nothing about what makes us think that tomorrow we might not think about day after and so on. There is also another reason for this and it “greed”.
When we get one thing right we want another. For example when u buy yourself a bicycle u are happy but then wish to be happier with a car then a plane and so on. We never enjoy the moment cause we keep thinking of the next big achievement.
I even don’t get the logic of not smiling at someone on the road when u walking or in the train or on a bus. Why can’t we smile? What’s the harm? It’s not affecting us in any way? I mean why not. A smile can change so much. U know if a person is depressed or sad it just takes a smile to lighten up their day. That’s all it takes a smile. And we cant even do that. Life may have a lot of hardships it may not always be easy but a human being who can smile through all of that is the ultimate achievement.
We keep telling ourselves we are very strong emotionally n all but what is strength when u can’t smile during the hardest of times.
With life being the way it is today lets pledge to smile when we look at someone. Lets not shy away from smiling. Lets make this a better place by spreading smiles and laughter around. Lets learn to make people smile when they want to cry most.
Think about it. Make it a point to smile at 10 strangers every week and hopefully it will become a habit over a period of time. That’s life for u.

Looks Do Matter....

You often here one saying looks don’t matter to them and all. I think its all a load of crap. Looks do matter. Yes they may not be the ultimate criteria but yes they do matter. Anyone who tells that looks don’t matter they would be lying. Even names matter they really do. I know it sounds kind of stupid but they really do.
I will give u an example I am sorry if I am hurting anyone with this name or has an association with someone of this name. If one were to go online and not seen each other and were chatting imagine this. A guy would be chatting to 2 different girls. One is named Priyanka and the other Vijaylakshmi. Now the guy hasn’t seen either of them but yet he would be more inclined to talk to Priyanka than to Vijaylakshmi. No matter who is a better person but a visual image is made of they would be just from the names. I don’t know how many of your’ll have done this or seen someone doing this but I have done this myself I do feel horrible about it but it has happened to me. Now the question is why do we do this I mean why does it happen? What makes us do that? I have got no answers even though I have to an extent got myself to stop doing that ad start being a lot more open and non-judgemental of people around me with different names.
The same thing goes for looks. I mean 2 different people presenting the same project in front of a board of directors. It will easier for the handsome/hot looking guy/girl to get his/her proposal accepted than the other person. The packetting is always important. It’s not the substance inside that’s important. We always look at what attracts our eyes. I don’t know how many people would agree with me but it’s the fact of life. The packaging is a lot more important than what’s there on the inside. We always want to believe what we see is what really is. Always want everything on hand rather than searching for it. Its human nature. How many of us have made an effort to look beyond the way a person looks?
Sometimes when u tend to look at the person and are only concerned about the looks think about this would u want to be judged only on your looks?
Skin decays, u wont look the same after many many years. Being beautiful is to have a beautiful heart and soul and not just a beautiful face or body..
Think about it…

Work is life.....Not For Me....

When we were kids u know how we used to dream of building those super sonic jets and huge buildings and dreaming of having the fastest cars and so on. A lot of us dreamed of becoming engineers and doctors as well. That time we used to want that to help out the poor and help making the world a better place.
But once we grow up I guess the sense of that is lost. We start thinking on a different playing field. We start realizing that money plays a very important part. But how important is money. A lot of believe it’s the most essential commodity to have and without it we would be nobody. I guess that is true to an extent. Some of us get blinded with the thought of money and forget our initial start and how we wanted to go about it.
First we used to work cause we were passionate about it then the passion is transformed in to a money making machine. Where one works to earn more and more money and nothing else really matters. We put in more and more hours of work and by the time u know it the very people u earn for are the very people u spend less time with. Its strange u know I mean one way u have to work hard and earn enough money but on the other hand is it not important to be with your family. Its more I think to do with discipline where one has to keep enough time on hand to spend with the very people who have made him what he is today.
Work is important to everyone. Money more so. But what is life without any passion. What is work without any passion? And what is life without family and friends? Does money rule our lives? Where every action of ours is ruled with a prospect of money?
Why do we make work our life when work s just the means of living life whereas family and friends are life. How many of us spend more time with family n friends and less time with work?

Ones Desire, Anothers Agony

In economics professor Robbins had said, “wants are unlimited and resources are limited.” Every human being has a desire a fire a want and they do all that is there in their power to achieve that. Our wants never cease to end. They just keep increasing and that’s human nature. Something just never change. It’s been there since early man age. Where first he need to cover himself so there was skin hides then he wanted a spear then he wanted a mode of transport then he was lazy to do his own work so he wanted to tame animals and so on. Sorry for the history lecture.
When I was in school I used to always wish that it rained so hard that school is called off for the day. I used to keep praying for that. Then I went to college and the wishes changed I used to be like I hope I get attendance without actually attending a lecture. Then I came to work and I was like I hope it rains so hard that the trains are no longer operational.
U wish for things that are going to benefit u without realizing what it would do to people around u. I shall tell you about one of those episodes where I realized what I wished for and how it cased havoc for people around me.
It was raining one night and raining pretty heavily and I was like I hope the trains shut down. And they didn’t I went to work I was sitting next to these workers who must be traveling from really far localities to reach this workplace. And I was talking to them and innocently told them oh how I wish the rains would have never stopped and the trains would have been shut. And he looked at me and smiled and said Nirav I was up all night removing all the water that had come into my house due to the rains. And I was so hurt cause I wished for something but didn’t realize how many people would suffer from it. He was telling me how he let his wife n child sleep while he was removing water from his hut with a bucket in hand all night. And that’s the day I decided I would not wish for such extremities. I don’t know how many of Ur’ll have gone through this. Or experienced somebody else’s pain in this manner.
Lets make a vow guys let’s wish for others for once. And not for ourselves. For ones wish may be agony for another. Take care everyone. Keep smiling.

Is The Easy Way Out Destiny.....

Today I have decided to pick on a topic that I have quite a lot of knowledge about. In my 23 years I have seen this happen to a lot of people and me alike. U know relationships are pretty complex or shall I say we make them a lot more complicated than what they were ever supposed to be. People come into your life and they also leave at a given point in time. I have realized a lot of us have relationships where someone has come into our lives and left us after sometime without any warning. Its almost like they are on contract basis do what they have to do and then they leave. It seems to me that a lot of our relationships are artificial and that we take to them and make more out of what really is there. Don’t u think sometimes we make a person feel a lot more important than they ought to be. U know when u in a relationship say love for example u tell each other u are my life and I cant do without u and all. And then when the time comes to stand up for what u promised the fizz is all gone the roaring tiger becomes a meowing cat. Its almost as if we work on our convenience. We all have our personal agendas and we stick to it. We don’t really realize how empty those promises are till we don’t go through this phase. U know whenever one is in a tight spot there are 2 ways to go. The easy way and the hard way. Easy way is to do the practical thing and listen to your head. The hard way is to do what may not be practical and maybe against a lot of the majority and listen to your heart and doing that. We as human beings take the easy way out. Its our tendency its like why should we take the hard way out of this. Everybody hates to struggle everyone is looking at the luxurious option rather than the sweating it our option. Then after all that is done we sit and tell each other yeah if destiny wants it we shall be together n blah. Its all crap cause in the end its up to u what u really want and how u want to go about it. Remember destiny may be pre written but that should not hold us back from doing what we want. Cause in the end we are the ones making the major decisions on the floor and not god up there in heaven.
