Raining Happiness

Positivity and Negativity two energies generated by the mind depending on situations, circumstances, past baggage, successes, failures, relationships, you name it it silently affects it either eroding the roots or nourishing it.

Positivity is always associated with hope, happiness, warmth, care, success, blessings, acceptance of whatever situation brings, a ready smile on the face, to sum it all the most important factor of having a healthy mind, body and a powerful vision of the future.

Negativity is the power which disturbs, destroys, creates doubts, insecurities, jealousies, in fact the most important factor for being a failure in life. Negativity obstructs progress. Its very easy to be negative as its effortless, positivity requires effort.

As both are energies of the mind just by a conscious shift the miracle can be achieved.

Success is transitory
Once you achieve
It loses its importance
You set another bigger goal
There is so much passion, excitement and hard work
Once achieved the lustre of success fades away

Life is a series of success and failures
You rise, you fall, you rise again
The walls at home and office are decorated
With medals and awards
In the end its a reminder of your past

Laurels and accolades do not excite me anymore
I am searching for that something elusive
Which will keep me on a high
Be it dawn or dusk, rain or shine

I was just plain lucky to find the answer
What gives permanent happiness is
Not in worldly and physical pleasures
But looking internally to find
Why are you truly here

My smile has become permanent
As it is no longer dependent
On any external factor
Success lies inside
My own inner Self

The gap is all in the mind. If we as parents keep on harping the whole time, “This never happened in our days, we were brought up with values, we listened to our elders, our parents, we never wasted money but invested it for your future”.

Today’s generation spend most of their earnings on branded clothes, technology, latest gadgets,international holidays, supermarkets etc.
In our times food was always freshly prepared thats why see our skin, our hair, our teeth, everything shines. You have already started greying. The list is endless.

It is the older generation’s loss if we don’t move hand in hand with them,
changing ourselves in the process with modern times and trends. We have to lower our level to theirs, talk of subjects of their interest, sometimes surprising them with gifts they love. We have to broaden our outlook, our horizons of their
lifestyles, their personal life, not interfering, offering unasked advice, insulting and passing scatching comments in front of others.

“Give Space and Earn Respect”. If one follows this maxim there’ll always be harmony among all age groups.
I feel we are the luckiest to enjoy the modern day comforts of today with
values of yesterday.

Love all generations past and present as “Without seed there would be no Fruit”.

Nature and Life are both interlinked. When the weather is awesome, amazing, romantic, breezy, depressing, violent, dry our emotions are affected. We are either on a high, medium or low mode.

Our mood swings can be measured by nature’s thermometer.

Events of nature are programmed by the universe which is beyond human control. Controlling our emotions is in our hands. Why become a slave to the whims and fancies of nature?

You are the master, the creator of every moment of your life. Every moment is in bloom.

Grab it ! Live it ! Maximise it !
Each moment has come to pass
Never to show its face again.

Everyone keeps on talking about independence, being independent
Its being bombarded from social media, education institutions,
Advertisements, hoardings, you name it is there
This made me ponder what was the real meaning of independence

From being a baby we are dependent on our parents
In school we are governed by our teachers
In colleges and higher education Professors and external faculty govern us
Spoon feeding has given way to think for yourself with guidance

Careers have made us financially independent
Arranged marriages have given way to love marriages
Do or die its your responsibility as you charter into unknown waters
Its so cool to make mistakes why listen to elders why ask help
We have finally become independent

Independence should be about saving time in day to day activities
It should be about respecting others opinion and taking your own
Knowing your limits and asking for help in unfavourable times
Independence is making us selfish greedy and hard hearted
No one has time to listen everyone is just hurrying by
Even the bullet train is slower compared to our lifestyle

Hope we’ll not see that time when we will be filled with regret
For not having time for our elders, our children, our friends
For not having enjoyed the small pleasures of life
Just seeing the sky hearing the chirping of birds and the smile of the passer by
For not having realised the true meaning of self
Lost in the rat race of being called an independent

I had been brought up the traditional way
A normal childhood few clothes few luxuries
Good convent education studying everyday
Our teachers were sincere who laid the foundation
For the responsible adult to be later in life
Every Sunday we went for picnics and hotels
With family and friends with laughter floating by

Got married in the traditional way
An arranged marriage where two strangers met
There was never any doubt whether the marriage would succeed
As that option was never taught by society and parents
Upbringing of the children was also traditional
What was inculcated in me was passed on to them
There were ups and downs which was part and parcel of life

With the passage of time traditional has given way to modern
What a sea change in values lifestyle and education
Education has become online confusing me with
Telephone which was before a landline
Traditional education values marriages are becoming outdated
Online dating experiential marriages with an expiry date are trending
Live in relationships are the norms with society
Accepting it without batting an eyelid

Sarees have given way to Indo-western and western wear
Formals becoming informal comfort ruling the roost
Its so easy to get your nose straightened your body sculpted
To look forever ageless as long as your wallet supports you
Mobiles have taken over family time me time spouse time
Sometimes I wonder If this will curtail the burgeoning population

Everyone at home are earning money
Less or more doesn’t matter
Its the tag ‘Oh ! your working’ which sets you apart
From the boring traditional home maker
Home cooked food is selling like hot cakes
As we’ve stopped entering our traditional domain
Called the kitchen where we spent our life time

Sometimes I wonder where are we heading
In this rat race of life just following aimlessly
All the social media which is marketing our life
I’ve found the balance between the traditional and modern
Enjoying the new opportunities of life
I enjoy going to the gym meeting so many people
Keeping my body fit and healthy

I enjoy attending courses through the webinar
Social media I’m exploring to market my passion
Of creative writing being an influencer and motivational speaker
Tapping every new opportunity which keeps erupting
Every new day in the most unlikely place

One thing I’ve not forgotten in all this glitter of life
Is that I have to discover my internal self my internal peace
Through meditation and surrendering to my Guru
I’ve started climbing the ladder of spiritual evolvement
Today my vision is clear of my journey my destination
I know where I’m heading to.
