Life gives you surprises!

Life gives you surprises, indeed!!

Yes, my life has been full of surprises. When I look back and see, so much I have sailed across. I never thought I would be able to make it.

I liked to learn new things, study and read all the time. I was good in studies. My world revolved around books, books and books. After a certain period of time, during my teenage, I got a friend who became my confidante and now my life partner. I had never thought I would marry but at last I got married that too after much hassle.

I was blessed with my baby. We both were working to make our life run and meet all the demands of my little one. After my daughter was 4 years, I thought for a sibling for my child. I was just thinking and not planning at all. But god had different plans. He blessed me with twins, my miracle babies. I cried my lungs out. How will I manage? No human resources and limited finances! It was another surprise. It took time to sink in this news.

Sometimes, I feel happy for the babies and sometimes sad. People say have faith in god.

Now I have left everything to god. He will look after my babies when they are born.

Hoping everything goes well…..

This post will continue after my little buddies come in this world.  

Rediscovering Life!

Rediscovering Life

These days everyone is busy. Aren’t they? Busy with studies, busy with work, busy with family… BUSY is the word today. Amidst this busy life, has anyone tried to pause and think over their life? We are caught in the vicious circle of planning and working. We work madly to achieve personal and professional goals. I am not aloof of this vicious cycle but I want to sit and relax with peace of mind thinking and thanking for what the Almighty has blessed me with.

Do we really think that we have full control over our lives? If anybody thinks so, I am afraid that person is wrong.

I want to go on a journey to rediscover myself and my life without leaving my responsibilities. But, of course, with each step becoming a better and peaceful person. Understanding yourself is the first step and understanding others is the second step. I think if you understand both, the life runs smooth with less or no friction.

Saying is always easier, I know. But trying can never harm.

Life is really short. Enjoy with things that give your inner peace and pleasure. 

Here are some things, I feel, can make our life better. I am concluding this on the basis of my experiences and also the experiences of people who have been and still are a part of my life.

1. HAPPINESS: What makes you happy? How do you measure happiness? Do things that make you happy. It can be reading books, listening to music, watching TV, spending time with your children, parents, and friends. Believe me; you can surely take out time for these.
2. CONTENTMENT: Contentment is a state of having accepted one's situation and is a form of happiness only. Be thankful for what you have rather than cribbing over what you don’t have.

3. BUILD RELATIONS: It is very difficult to build strong and good relations. It takes lots of time and patience. Meet and talk to people you like.

4. SPEND TIME WITH CHILDREN: Children are adorable, innocent gifts of god. Spent time with them and their sheer innocence will soothe you deeply.

5. SMILE: Nothing lasts forever, neither good times nor bad times. So smile and let your smile last forever.

6. NEVER GIVE UP: Hard times will always be there. Never give up your courage to fight against all odds. Tests make you strong.

7. HAVE FAITH IN THE SUPREME POWER: Pray and ask for the well-being of your family and other people. Good deeds come back to you always.

We are mere puppets in the hands of god. So, we can just do our ‘Karma’ and leave everything to god. Not everybody is chosen for a difficult work. The best is the chosen one. So, accept it gracefully and get along. 
Enjoy the beauty of nature that god has created and stay happy.
