Living with a Lump of Sugar ..

Sweetness .. that’s the name i have come up with to the latest love of my life .. And the reason, she would just smile at me whenever i meet her, whenever i see her… she comes running with open arms for she knows i would pick her up and take her out for some enjoyment ..

and that cute look that she gives when i have her in my lap.. its worth watching.. she would lean her head and smile …  pretty pretty smile .. and this is why I am her fan …

A perfect angel … the cutest lump of sugar ..

Deeds..

Nothing in this world could be more soothing than words of praise from
the elders ... And when they come from someone who doesn't as easily
give them away... You're high in delight ...

Respect, that is hard fought, is always special and it is even more
special when you don't even know whether you deserve the way you are
being treated .. it is addictive and you don't want to lose it either
...

They say if you wish to excel in your life, you need to achieve the
highest level of prayers ... And they exist only in pure hearted
people ... And nowadays people with such purity of thoughts don't
really exist ..
However, there are these two classes of people who really could be a
blessing ... One is the kids, because they carry no grudges in their
hearts; and the other is the old age folk, because they carry
compassion and love of the Divine ...

You have seen this very old lady for quite some time and whenever you
see her, she has this angry face and is cursing almost everyone
passing by... You feel afraid of her and try keeping away from her
eyes ... But suddenly one evening you are walking along this road and
out of nowhere, with a walking stick in her hand she comes in front of
you, and before you could do anything she asks you for help in
crossing the road... (Though I don't really know why it always happens
everywhere with me) ..

You hold out your hand and she grabs you by your arm and you walk her
across with almost everybody staring at this rare moment...

She kisses your hand when you take her across giving you all the best
prayers she has in store ... She smiles at you which is so uncommon,
and touches your chin blessing you for your deed and then she when
she's about to let go, she prays for your prosperity.. and..
dreams...

You feel privileged ... But ...

Oh well never mind ..

The Best Feeling ...

And she calls me Mamu, carefully moving her lips to make it sound
awesome .. Hahaha...
Incredible feeling this ...

Time has changed yet again... I'm feeling alive once more .. Like I
used to be .. When I had nothing to worry about .. Nothing to lose ...

Its been the best winter ever ... More than what I had ever anticipated ...

And there are even greater things that are coming around ... Just a
corner away ...
And here I am smiling all the way ... :)

The Freedom Of Choice ..

The end result of your life here on earth, will always be the sum total of the choices you make while you are here," said a wise soul, driving home the importance of making the right choices in life.
Do we really give importance to the choices we make every day in our lives, or do we function on autopilot? Aren't most of our choices motivated by our conditioning, our belief systems, and by what the people will think?

Yet how many of us really sit, and think our choices through? Aren't we swayed by emotions while making a choice? The world is in the shape it is today, because of decisions taken in haste. "Decide in haste, repent at leisure," our ancestors warned us, stressing the need of taking time out and making responsible choices.

A calm and collected mind thus seems to be ideal for making a crucial choice. Though one needs to consult near and dear ones at times, and move from emotion to intellect while making a choice, the highest choices remain those that are motivated by the soul. Managing our self thus means making right choices in tangent with the Higher Self.

Finally, the most important choice we can make is the way in which we choose to see life. If we choose to see ourselves as aliens, separate beings in a hostile world, that will be our destiny in the world of relativity. If, on the other hand, we choose to see the world as one huge unit, then naturally the actions that stem from such a choice will be of love and peace, for how can you hurt others if the others are part of it? Therefore, our choices made out of oneness will chart out a beautiful destiny.

As one gets into the flow of following the nudges of one's Higher Self, one slips into the enviable state called the choiceless awareness, where one just responds to the present moment spontaneously, without any preconceived ideas, where one's actions are directed not even by choice but just awareness. 

Till we reach the state where the chooser and the doer cease to exist, and there is only the soul witnessing the experiences it has created with life, we need to take small steps, aware of even the littlest choices we make. Choosing to shut out external noise once in a while and connecting to the stillness within, and thus choosing to connect to our Higher Self, goes a long way in helping us make all other choices.

When we choose to allow others to create their own painting on the canvas of life using their own colours of choice.. 

we truly choose to give the greatest gift to self and others, freedom, the birthright of every soul...

Smile.. It makes you feel Alive ...

Its been a long time when someone has actually smiled at me.. A
priceless thing it is ...
And the truth that nobody has that much of time for anyone .. For
everybody is busy in their own lives is what makes it special for
me...

When talking to people has become extinct nowadays ... What just
remains behind is this little smile that squeezes out all the burdens
of life from your over exhausted life ...

A simple conversation turns out to be a forceful one because we have
prioritized our solitude and overthinking over verbal exercises ...
Our ego has thrived so much in our minds that a simple gesture, a
hello to someone seems overdozed and forceful ...

We have forgotten the right principles of being open minded and the
virtues of being selfless...

And this is why I love kids ... this is what makes them special ..
They don't mind what we give them or what we take from them.. They
will smile always...
They will always have a smile on their faces for you ... And that
smile is always priceless... Always ...

I learnt from this little girl who is just about 9 months old ..
Adeeba ... I learnt from her a lot.. I learnt what being selfless is
... I learnt what being honest is ... Whenever I used to leave, she
used to watch through the window, peep through it and smile ...

Whenever I used to hold her, she would caress my cheeks and mutter
something with herself ... A language of honesty and care ...

She would crawl around and bring out all her toys and place them in
front of me, for me to play with her...

And then she taught me something that most people would only learn
through a 100 years of experience ... How to remain busy in your life
...
Yes, and I noticed it because whenever I would see her, she used to be
busy looking at things around, touching them, turning them around and
watching them all over ... And when she would get bored of it, she
would leave it and move to the next ... All with those tiny little
hands...

She would imitate my sounds cutely.. And would come to me crawling all
the way even if it meant coming down the stairs which is eventually
selflessness and pure compassion...

A smile is worth everything a person can ever possess ... It can bring
out the real compassionate being in you ... But what matters is how
pure hearted the person is who makes you smile..

Baby girls are always special ... But this one is a blessing ...
Though she is a neighbor, I feel I have a daughter of my own...

Faith..

Faith ... A small word that changes the meaning of life itself ..
The feeling that steams the coldest parts of the heart with warmth and
satisfaction... The belief that helps the blind to see, the deaf to
hear and the dumb to speak ...
It soothes the wounds that even time can't heal...
I believe .. I have faith.. And this is all that keeps us going ..

:)
