JUST LET GO!



How many times in our lives, we want to do something, to try something, to say something, but we don’t do it, for ‘some’ reason. For a reason as simple as, ‘Really, am I (focus: I) going to do it?’ ‘Hell, No!’

OVER

NEXT MOMENT STARTS

And that little desire gets buries somewhere, deep in the abyss of the heart. Never to come out again.

FAST FORWARD

DEATH BED

Lying in bed, pale eyeballs staring at the ceiling, and a regretful heart. Excruciating pain. Pain not because the body machinery is wearing out, but because that heart is full of regrets, the nothings he wanted to say, the antics he wanted to perform, the errors he wanted to make, but he never could L

Are we that rich? Is even Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, or even the top tens put together rich enough to ‘buy-out’ that regret. No. No one is that frigging rich.

So, lets be crazy, just let go, be mad, be passionate, love with ALL your heart, be vulnerable, make those idiot noises when you ‘sudoop’ that evening chai, sing irrespective of whether you are Kishore Kumar or not, laugh out loudest, jump, scream, let the softy get smeared on your nose, you don’t look shabby, you look cute!, touch the flowers, stare at the sky, wink at people, write letters, stick notes in your friend’s books, smile for no reason, let your maid know how incredible she is, cock you eyebrows when you see a stranger, its bliss when they get confused if they know you, splash water on one another, use those special sheets, hug your folks, cuddle that child, draw beards and moustaches on people’s faces in newspapers, fall on each other, click goofy pictures, cry during movies, tell ‘her’ what you feel about her, basically just do what your heart says, because life ultimately, is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of breaths that take your heart away!

CHOICES WE MAKE


Life, someone asked Emerson is what? And the great thinker replied, nothing but a chain of unending choices and decisions. Some choices are easy, skirt or dress, Some are tough, pure chocolate pleasure or pleasure with chocolate chip punctuations, and Some are very very tough, ones that define our path, and have it in them to alter the course of our lives forever, FOREVER!First major big decision I took was when I reached, ‘Plus 1’, ‘11th’ or the ‘Big 1’, and here is also one major mistake I made. To justify, it was easy you know, Medical meant 40 years of study, Commerce meant math for breakfast, math for lunch, math for dinner, snack time? Oh we have math again! Non Medical meant instant 4 year degree, la-la-ta-da-ta-da!!Long epic short, blunder, BLUNDER made...  took Non Medical J So, why in the World am I spilling all these regretful beans, when I preach a regret-free life? To tell you something so clichéd, yet so profound.Do what your heart says. DO WHAT YOUR HEART SAYS. DO ONLY WHAT YOUR HEART SAYS. An ideal job is where one loses sight of time, because you enjoy your work too much. It gives you unending joy, bliss, and extreme happiness! Like cooking, Rub bands with Madhur Jaffrey, like singing, don’t stop till you give MJ a deadly complex, like painting, let Picasso run about for his money, only then will life be worth living! Because Passion, and only Passion Breeds Success. Nothing else. Ask anyone worth, they’ll tell you, they followed, chased, ran behind their dreams and One Fine Day, their dreams hugged them back, kissed them and made them happiest people in the World. So, chuck those naggy relatives, and foolish aunties, have the nerve to take the road less travelled, and become as famous as Czech President Vaclav Havel! (Stupid analogy, I know, non med, remember? ;)
