Oct 2015

There is nothing peculiar about this day. Its just like every single day that I have lived. Sun still rises in the east, birds still flies, wind still blow and I know days happens when the earth still spins. Its all the same. Then what made me write something today? Yes its been a long that I have checked in here. My world. This was and have been a place where I secretly took trips to, this used to be the place where I loved to hide away. It still is but in the past few months, my soul was wandering for unknown places. It wanted to try some adventures. It took weird journeys. It even took a crazy ride to a place where it itself promised not to return back. But lemme tell you, nothing is yours, not even the plans we make. We will land up places where we are suppose to land up and not a single drop of your energy can move it. This is exactly the same way where you find the key to happiness. At some point of life, we tend to bother more about materials, yes it is ok to do so, but every time you tend to get attracted to those momentary stuffs, pause! and take a moment to look around and feel the beauty that exist around you. Its a very beautiful life and life is today, at this hour .. at this very moment.. It used to be more beautiful before, when we the so called humans bothered less about showing off or pleasing others. I have no clue what all have i missed taking pleasure of, in the gone years of my adulthood. One thing I am pretty sure of is, real beauty is fading and there is only a little left that is available and soon to be exploited so at least now, slow down! Look around. Its not just stacking up money, buying bungalows owning your favourite car but also to spent some days all alone in a local lodge, having a night spent on top of a mountain, trek through the wilderness listening to the mysterious sounds of nature. Its not always those things that money can buy gives happiness, these unpaid, free stuffs are those that gives real happiness, coz you don't have to lose anything when you get them, that's why I call it priceless. Once in a while every has to take a short break and think if we are really living the life we really want to. Are we tasting every thing that life has in store for us. I myself found dumbstruck when I realized many things. I even forgot many lovely faces who lived in my past. That's how much I am occupied with this race to succeed. What in fact is success? The generation is dying for success! What is it? Why do they think success is something that's worth dying for? Its simply owing a chair at times. Its simply having the newspaper to talk about you. Its simply lying on a plush bed and rolling over side to side to get some sleep. Finally success is dying out of cardiac arrest. I am sure there are many people out there who dreams about it, who loves it. I beg your pardon.

There are much more to die for in the shelves of life. Imagine, living a small but beautiful and at times adventurous life. Dont miss out the adventures. The adrenaline! Let it pump through you. A brave but reckless small life is what I look forward to. I wanna walk the entire earth. I wanna swim naked in some remote beach. I wanna explore different markets around the world and see what they sell there. I wanna taste the food that they serves on the other side of the world and  I want it all done without the media covering it. These are a few from my Big-thing-list. Yes I do consider it to be big and difficult to achieve.

Its only now I realize, as this winter knocked at my window, that how quicker a year had gone past by me. And I am a year older in this world and a year closer to my expiry date. I thought, why not i list down the small-thing-list first and try to achieve the milestones as quickly as possible with in a year? I have figured out what I enjoy by watching people doing it or by observing things happen around me that made me wanna try it. Here are those simple, possible wishes of mine;

1. Learning to play Guitar

2. Learning to Swim

3. Learning to drive a car

4. Learning bicycle riding

5. Taking cake baking class

6. TO read the holy Qur'an 

7. Buying a telescope

8. To make a painting

9. To work for an NGO

10.To have a baby

It might sound funny, or cool. But this is what I wanna do in the coming days before another year go past me with that dirty smirk. This is my life and I design it. I have decided to do it ,to do certain things even though dirty that I love. I dont wanna regret for not having the energy to do the things while age put up limitations to my body. Let me start from the little heap and gradually reach the summit.

So here is the thought. Do the little things that makes you happy and feel alive. Some says there is only one life, some says there are more to come but I think 'now' is never returning. Make the best out of it.
