Life is indeed moving at a very high pace and every one makes sure that he catches up with the pace. With the emergence of new technologies every other day, he makes sure he is upto date and if possible he tries to be ahead. There is always a search of economic, professional, political gains.
Amidst all these hustle bustle of life, we forget to enjoy all that we have, all that is free, all thats around us . . . Lemme ask you some questions
1. (the most asked ) Did you ever lie on wet grass and gaze up into the sky ?
2. Did you ever tried watching a bird chirp and try understand it ?
3. Did you ever look at the clouds and try making out figures ?
4. (another popular question) Did you walk bare foot on the sand and feel every step you take ?
5. Did you ever dance without caring what you dancing ?
6. Did you ever talk to yourself all that's worrying you ?
and the list goes on . . .
Friends to confess I myself didn't do all. I too am a victim of this evil system which according to a law in thermodynamics always proceeds to a more disordered state. So lets feel it before it gets more disordered ;P. More importantly the thing i want to say is
'Take a break my friends. Enjoy every part of you ( do remember you are the most wonderful creation of god.). Enjoy the nature - observe, feel and be a part of most beautiful thing in this world. Close your eyes and let your imagination do the rest. Prepare a wish list and do try achieving them. You will definitely feel gr8 everytime you complete one of them.'
(you can have this as your new year resolution)
I think the last one is well reflected through the Hindi movie "Dasvidaniya" (Make sure you visit the site). The movie portrays the life of a sincere and simple guy who is so busy with his life that he forgets about himself. Later when he discovers that he is suffering from cancer, he is all surprised. Then he discovers he did not do anything in his life for himself. He creates a wish list and targets to complete them in a matter of 3 months . . .
Well if you have been close to nature and felt all of them, then do share with us. I personally would like to know about them.
