!-!OPE

Andy to Red: "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies" in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption".

I have fallen in love with this dialogue. Infat this is not just a dialogue but its reality . Hope can make you lively, optimistic and enthusiastic. Hope should never die as it helps you to achieve things which says that they are "impossible". There is a hope that helps you to move on in life. Life goes on with hope of achieving something, hope of being happy and making people around happy, hope of meeting the special someone and being with him/her forever, hope to recover from any disease, hope of being successful, being free and independent. Life is a broken-winged bird without hope. There is light at the end of every tunnel. The tunnel here is life and the light is hope which shows you the path to move forward. The only mantra to Life is "hope". It is the engine that drives the vehicle called life. It is the soul of living life. So, we should never give up the hope to move forward in life. Things may get delayed but it will surely happen if you have hope in it and faith in yourself. It will help you to cross the unseen bridges. Everything in life is temporary and so is the bad situation. So always keep the hope alive and this hope will do everything to keep you alive in real sense.

M!$$ U BRO!!

hmmmm...what a end of the day. Raksha Bandhan was never that sad.

I am paying the opportunity cost for my high aspirations, infact everyone is. With the fast moving world, we get so preoccupied with ourselves, our study, our job and *our* life and thus we are missing onto those special days and special people in our lives which we used to wait for during our childhood days. We now do wait eagerly for Valentines day but we don't for our own cultural festivals.

I remember waiting for every festival with so much of enthusiasm and so for the Raksha Bandhan, the day meant for getting loads of gifts. Well that was the innocent times, but now i realize the true essence of the eve when i am miles away from my sweet brother. I am missing you bhaia. I am missing teasing you, fighting with you even to have a ice-cream, demanding for gifts and chocolates, studying from you( though i didn't like it at that point of time but i seriously need it now and can't just forget those days of my boards and your efforts which helped me to get some decent scores), cooking for you at a later stage (previously it was you who used to cook for me in mom's absence), sitting on the bicycle with you, spending time( sometimes arguing)with you, your guidance, your strictness though i never followed it, your gratitude towards our lovely parents, your support and everything. You are an inspiration to me. I still remember the time when you were the first one to hear to my cries and motivating me to take those challenges.No one can ever replace the care and love you have for me. Its been a year that we have seen each other but these memories bring tears in my eyes and then my eyes blink with a hope of seeing you in near future.

May your life be filled with lots of happiness, good health, success and you live a prosperous life with a beautiful lady and sweet children.:P

Take care Brother. You are the bestest brother that anyone can dream of. You are like a second mother to me. Love you. Miss you.

FR!END$

Ooh lala la!!I am really happy today because of many reasons.

Maybe because I got an extended weekend or maybe i got some pleasant surprises like a call from my darling friend. Looking at the past is lovely yet sad, joyful yet a little low. Oh i miss my old times a lot. The innocence, the silly fights, the attitude of not hurting other and caring overly about it, the craziness about getting clicked rather being on the other side, the madness of dancing non-stop in those DJ nights during fest, the weekend trips, spending time in canteen together and having those samosa, pulling each other's leg, discussing about the love life(doesn't matter whosoever it was) and commenting on it, late night chats, fighting over the last spoon of maggi and what not. These things are making me nostalgic and i am sure it would be making you too. These things make us realize of a beautiful life yesterday which passed so comfortably with the lovely (sometimes they do get devilish :P) friends. I miss them a lot who used to change my facial expression from :-( to :-). My four years of graduation was much way easier than these two years of killing post graduation with the best of best friends.

Love you all. Thanks for making me a part of your life. :))))))

The Secret

Few days back, i watched a documentary called the Secret. I really liked it and want to share the learnings that i took from it though i didn't understand much about the secret of being happy, secret of being prosperous and the secret of living life but watching it gave me some peace.

The secret in a nutshell can be briefed as:

The secret is the law of attraction which is the greatest law in the universe (I know many of you must be wondering how? people generally relate law of attraction only for relationship, so read further to know more). We are a magnet and the thoughts are the one that are attracted to us. Whatever happens even is a cause of the law of attraction which is the strongest law in the universe. Universe is a Jenie (refer the story of Alladin) who is always ready to grant our wishes, we just need to be passionate about the wish.

Our thoughts are guided by Our feelings. If we are feeling bad about something then we must do something that will make us feel good like we should listen to music, think about a baby or something that makes us happy and make us feel good because it is ultimately we who create the universe around us as mentioned by great Winston Churchill. We must change our focus from what we don’t want to what we want which is the most important aspect of this law.

How does this law works?

1. 1. Ask which means we need to ask what we need. Making a list of what we want always helps.

2. 2. Answer which implies that are we passionate enough to get the things that we want.

3. 3. Receive which means we need to have an emotional alignment with our wishes.

Universe likes speed. Don’t delay but act. Out of noway a way is made.Martin Luther King has asked us to take the first step in the faith and the things will follow on their own. People wonder that how long is it going to take? The answer to it is to be in alignment with the universe.

We feel stuck with something because we think about it over and over again because majority of thought comes from what we observe. We are nothing but residual to the past actions. What we are the result of what we have thought as mentioned by Budhha. Gratitude shifts our energy and thinking. Focus on what we have and not on what we don’t have. We must feel grateful for what we have. An attitude of gratitude is must for a happy life.

When we visualize then we materialize. We must always and only dwell upon the end results. It’s the feeling that create internal thought. Feel the joy and happiness. Universe always says “your wish is my command”, we just need to show passion for it. We must have a vision point, we will receive it sooner or later maybe after 5 yrs but we will for sure.

Albert Einstein Quoted "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life coming attractions." He was s true in his sayings

Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve. When we have inspired thought we have to trust it and act on it.

Don’t tell you want money, tell how much of money do you want. Quantify the list of your desires. Have a specific goal in your life.

Have an attitude of "Oh if you can do, why can't I?". Don't just run after money because money is not wealth but a part of wealth. So don’t earn it at stake of relationship. Go for inner peace and inner vision first and then go for the outer world. We must ask this question to us that do we treat ourselves the way we want other people to treat us? So, we must have a healthy respect for ourselves. We must orient ourselves to the best part of people who surrounds us rather than being complainant. Having a potential to feel good is a key to a peaceful life. We are the only one who creates our reality. We must have a caliber of Self healing and we must be emotionally stable to be healthy. We must not keep talking about our disease as we are creating more disease by thinking about it.

Have a difference between fearful and hopeful recovery. Stress degrade the body. Try to get inspired from Moriss Goodman, the miracle man who survived a airplane crash with his strong will and determination to live.

What we resist will always persist.

We are here to create our own world that we chose and allow others to chose their own. Fear of lack, greed and stringiness become experience. We all don’t want the same thing like experience, clothing or whatever. We all have a different choice.

We must believe it, see it, act for it, it will surely show up for us. We must do the best to ignore the things that we don’t want. Everything in the universe is energy. We have the potential and power to create our own world. 85% of family are dysfunctional which means their is always some problem that don't keep our family 100% family. It may be a health issue, relationship issue or anything. So, we must not feel bad about it.

"Whether you think you can or you can’t the either way you are right",Henry Ford.

Think about positive words like Joy,love,happiness,freedom,laughter.

"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were walls",Joseph Campbell. If we don’t feel good about something just let it go. There is nothing that we can’t do. We are here because we wanted to be here.

I know this things seems good when we study or watch but implementing in life is tough. The one who implements it always remains happy and leads a prosperous life while others read it, appreciate it and then forget about it as life moves on. Its on you to decide whether you want to fall in the first category or the second one. I certainly want to be the first one and will try hard for it!!
