What is a Moment?

Alright, this post is inspired by this video I once saw which made my mind wander in various directions about the myriad of inferences that people draw from a single "Moment". How different people perceive differently. How they define a moment. What makes people smile. :)

What is a Moment?
Is it when you wake up and see the sun rising and its rays coming through the trees into your room?
Is it when a mother sees her child for the first time after giving birth?
Is it when a baby holds its dad's fingers tightly for the first time?
Is it when an old couple are walking holding each other's hands?

Is it when the one you love looks at you so lovingly as if 
he's won the world?
Is it when you kiss the one you love and your heart beat goes haywire?
Is it when the cool breeze of the mountains hits your face?
Is it the first dance in the rain?



Is it when you look into the mirror and see 
yourself as you always wished to be?
Is it when you're standing infront of the Altar to get married to the love of your life?
Is it when the bride is walking down the Aisle and the groom is giving her the best smile that he's ever given?
Is it when a child gets its first pet?
Is it when parents see their kid go off to school for the first time?
Is it when a kid tells his/her parents that he/she loves them?


Everything around us is 'magical'. We just have to see it. It is these precious moments that make our life worthwhile. That make us see and appreciate God's Grace. Everything was carved out by God's fingers and that is what makes each and every being, each and every 'moment' Beautiful.. :)

Coz Life is Beautiful. Life is just how you want it to be. You just have to grasp these 'moments'..:)

Journey

People come and people go from our lives. You experience new things. Start over anew. But some people come into your life with all their glory to remain embedded in your mind and heart forever. These people become your gems in life. They're there to share every fear, every happiness and every tear. After going through so much, we find out that the friends we make throughout this journey, who become your gems are the ones who stay for eternity. They become such a part and parcel of every new experience that you have :)

Reading Harry Potter for the first time at the age of 10, gave me certain notions about friendship. And I'm glad to say I still retain those notions. I still think of friendship in it's purest form. It has only been possible because of my gems. A big Thank You! to all of my friends for making life so much more fun and so much more wonderful.. :) You guys will always be my gems,
 My Magic Beans.. :)

Growth

Sometimes in life you never understand what's going on. Moments fly by past you like a buzz. You can't figure out what and when something happened. You start feeling worthless, useless. You start doubting yourself. Don't believe in a single good quality in yourself. Your thoughts go haywire. Your mind feels numb. You feel your essence slipping away from you. Nothing makes sense! 


Good feelings, good energy, happy thoughts, all seem like a myth. That is when you see this glow warming your heart and calming your mind. You look up and see somebody holding your hand tightly, silently promising all his strength to you. That person seems like your lifeline. That person gives you hope without uttering a word. He gives you a reason to believe in yourself. He gives you the power to architecture sense out of commotion. That is the person who gives u growth. Your growth as an individual. He makes you rethink, ponder on all your previous notions about self-belief. It's pretty strange when you think about it. Somebody else making you stronger from within than you've ever felt. Such is the power of love. The other person's heartstrings are so interspersed with yours that you feel like one being, one entity, one life force. He gives you all the energy that you need to face this world head on. He grabs your essence in his hand, vowing to never let it evaporate.
He makes your love grow. 

He makes you grow. And suddenly, all the world seems so much brighter.

Enchanted

The first time I saw him. The first time our eyes met. The first time he held my hand. The first time he held me in his arms. All of it enchanted me. Sometimes when you think of all the memories you are in fact enchanted. The memories get you wondering as to how loving someone could be so fulfilling. How your own love story could feel like a fairytale come true, which makes your heart alight with happiness..gives you wings..like the feeling of serenity when the first rain of the season falls on your face..the first cold breeze brushing across your face.


The sun rays falling on his face through the window. The smile he gets every time he looks at me. His fingers running across my face, looking for stray hair. The feeling of peace that engulfs my heart when I'm with him. All of that leaves me enchanted. All you want to do is look at him. All day. Hold his hand. Have the silly smile on and sketch your future with him. Feel happy. Feel happy with him..

The twinkle in his eyes when he says "I love you". The sound of his heart beat when I put my head on his chest. The feel of his hand on my face. The way he hugs me when I'm in tears..comforting me..giving me strength..
The longing to see him in the middle of the night. Thanking God for him. Every flawless emotion. That makes my heart skip a beat..


 It all leaves me Enchanted..

A new life..a new beginning..

She had heard people say that the end of one thing is the beginning of another. Who knew that she would get to understand the meaning of these simple words so soon. She was unable to comprehend as to how she had been so lucky, did God love her more than others? Or was it just her perspective? She decided to believe in the latter. 

Her individual perspective defined her personality. Yes, she was an optimist. She believed in "Everything happens for a reason", she trusted God no matter what the situation. She had faith. And God rewarded her optimism by making her meet the one person who can make all her worries vanish..the one person who brushed her past aside like dust...the one person who is her best friend..the one person who strengthens her soul..the one person who can make her believe in love again. He was the person who would guide her to her New life..her New Beginning.

Strange how they both could just click. Strange how both of them could pour out all their emotions in front of each other and strange was how they just fell for each other without even realizing it. Strange love is. But it did happen for them and they were happy, finding solace in each other..finding everything that they've been looking for all their life. He could make her laugh in the middle of the night..he could make her peaceful...he could make her feel protected...he could make her feel like herself again. It was like he had pulled her out of the void, the cocoon she had wrapped around herself..

They are perfect for each other. Fate has bound them together as a single individual. She didn't realize it yet but her life was not just hers alone, it was his and his life was hers. Together they embark upon a journey, which is their new life, their new beginning.. 

Strange how once she thought she was alone but not anymore..

Change.

How could she accept this Change after all this time spent planning a future together with him. How could she just move on? It wasn't easy for her to let go of her dreams without putting up a fight. The dreams that she had spun with him. It wasn't easy for her to become familiar with the fact that he was a liar. It was impossible for her to sleep with the ghost of the promises made in the past haunting her constantly. All that she wondered for months was the ease with which he forgot her. How he had spent hours looking into her eyes and promising her, that they would be together for eternity. Was this the strength of their love? No, this was the weakness of his love. He didn't have the courage to admit his faults. He didn't have the courage to admit that he lied to her. He didn't have the courage to admit that he could never give up his ego. He didn't. And this was the reason she had to separate her ways with him because he never loved her.

Going through the trauma of understanding that the person she loved the most in this world didn't care if she lived or died, who did nothing to calm her down, to assure her of his love when she needed it the most just so his ego stays intact. Knowing for certain that she had lost him forever is the Change that she has to learn to respect and to live with. This is the Change that will make her grow. This is the Change that'll make her embrace life. And this is the Change that'll provide to her the new beginning she's been looking for.

This is the Change that she WILL live with. She WILL move on and she WILL be happy. :)

Joblessness

"Joblessness" a word borrowed from a friend, made me laugh when he said it at first. But now, it has become the  perfect description of my present situation. With school over and no college before September, I have a lot of time to kill. The perpetual clouds of boredom are all around me. They at times create an aura of depression and at times that of exuberance. Depression because of loneliness and nothing to keep me preoccupied and exuberance because I'm going to enter a new phase of life, a phase that I look forward to happily. 

Enduring months of stress is not a condition any person enjoys. After a lot of stress now that I get some time for myself, I do not like it. 

Sometimes I feel I was better off in school, who doesn't?  At least then you had something or the other on your mind, be it looking forward to meeting friends or a class that you loved. They were simpler times. Times, that I miss badly right now. I miss my friends, I miss my teachers, I miss those rubbish talks in school, the fights, the classes, the campus, the ambiance, the stupid prayer services ..everything. 

This is what boredom does to you, your mind starts wandering in different useless directions.

This "Joblessness" is killing me. The only thing I can do now is be hopeful for a new beginning and pray that this phase, the phase of "joblessness" never haunts me again.
