The marvelous game, called life.

I always wondered as a kid, why cant I go out and play all the time? Time passed, the question was lost somewhere deep. And suddenly I realized, I've been playing all while along... 

Life is a very strange game that we play all time. Some play just because you have no other option, some play with fear whereas some play for fun. Anything that you don’t enjoy doing is not worth doing at all! Cherish the taste in everything you do, let its taste melt in your soul, just as the cheese of a double burst pizza!

Life is a gift, use it with care and use it as much as you can. But sitting home instead of going out and playing just because you may get hurt is honestly what a coward does. I hate such cowards; life without a risk is something like lamp without oil! Boy, I just can’t imagine that..! How will the lamp glow, same is the case with life. There's no risk, there'd be no fun. No l'il incidents that'll make you laugh over it after a decade! What will you tell your kids about, what fun you had at your college with your pals, what pranks did you play on your teachers in your school!

Go out, talk to strangers, climb a tree, open up your remote controlled car, get wet in the rain, freak out with your friends or try to cook something and make it a mess! Man, trying something the first time for fun is succha weird, exiting and fascinating experience! And who knows? If you enjoyed doing it the first time, maybe that’s your new favorite! Oh yes, but that doesn't mean that you'll try Russian roulette on your friend..!

I never thought I could talk to someone strange, or in front of a couple dozen folks... but friends always said I could explain complex things making it simple. I gave a presentation at my college, and that was really cool! I love giving presentation and making things simple to folks. Me and a big time friend of mine are hell of presentation givers at college now!

Life is what we make of it and so is your personality, and probably everything from a pen to internet.

It’s how you look at the glass, half full or half empty! Most of the folks I've come across to date are of the 'half empty' attitude. Sometimes I feel people fear to see it half full. It’s like everyone is habituated to failures and no one wants change to happen.

Why is it that we refuse to have faith in someone?  Why is it that there is no hope left in us? Why is humanity getting vanished from everywhere..?! Why does someone's girl friend get jealous if her boyfriend feels comfortable chatting with her sister? Why does she ‘have to’ have a doubt? Can’t it happen that they're just casually talking! Why is when you're late to get a train, you don’t even console yourself 'Oh man! Train may be late for a few minutes'. Yes, it may spoil... May? Yes, it definitely will spoil the whole schedule. But sometimes hope is all you need to make the magic happen!

Yea, magic... Or may be miracle... What is it? Nothing but probably a long sequencing of small hopes and missed trains that make some wonderful things happen exactly at the right time! Don’t you think?

Many folks I know cant, or probably don’t let bygones be bygones. They just want to hold on to it like the eagle does to a fish! And then they complain that the past is painful and itchy. Its past, its gone! No need to worry about it now, no matter how bad! That exactly is what we call the beauty of it...!         
No one normally ever wonders that why is History as a subject being taught to you, just so that you know your country’s prolonged cultural heritage? Hell no! It’s taught so you may think and ‘finally’ arrive at the conclusion that ‘same mistakes are not to be repeated again’. Make new ones, maybe those will create another remarkable history. Forget what happened, move on and start afresh! Crying won’t get you anywhere; instead probably just worsen the things up.

Everyone has a bad phase in life, you HAVE TO have it! It’s like too much of sugar makes your tongue sour. Same way it works out with this mystical, marvelous game “life”. Didn’t get me? Lemme explain, you see there’s dark and there’s cold. Now dark is absence of any sort of light, and cold is absence of heat! Same way, when there’s no happy things happening, and there are downs in life we call it “grief”. But if I put some merry stuff the same time, your grief is lessened!

It’s all about striking the right balance. If there’d be all merry and fun, its importance would be gone. Totally vanished, but for you to realize things, this natural mechanism functions on its own. Trains got late since your hopes were up, but someone lost their job because of the same!

It’s about striking the right balance…!


Try striking the right balance. Try saying 'yes'. Try hoping. And try enjoying...
