Idea of an Adventure

-

“Happiness should be the natural state of mind”, The Fountainhead

Growing up we all had an idea of life we wanted. Offcourse, as we grew the idea evolved as per the circumstances and opportunities but there were always starry skies, world travel, lots of fun and more was on the agenda. 

Then somewhere down the line life happened. We got busy with settling our lives, wrestling the surrounding, and making the best out of whatever we got. The journey was tough and exhausting and drained many of their wants and needs from life. The everyday struggle of survival becomes worse with happy faces on social media or when you see someone else living the life you imagined for yourself in the first place. It is a torture, I get it. 

The idea of an adventurous life has a stronger pull then gravity itself. Think about it if someone will offer us a world tour all expenses paid no question asked no strings attached we would jump for it won't we? But if I say that it will be for you and you only and no one else, also while you are on the trip you cannot contact your loved ones, then what will you say? I will go out on a limb here and say the majority of us will refuse to go. (For those who will still go, please take your tickets from me).Why is that? We wanted to see the world, didn't we? We wanted a solo trip too? Then why refuse the adventure. For the simple reason, we don't enjoy the adventure we enjoy the company with which we share it. It won't be the same without them.  Ok tell me one more thing , would you like to exchange your life/your loved ones for a never-ending bank account? If you are granted 3 wishes with a condition that you cannot share the granted wishes with your family what you will wish for? Think of these answers and you will find your adventure. 

There is a difference between the idea of an adventure and actually having a real-life life adventure. The same goes for the philosophy of life too. We all have some idea of a perfect or near-perfect life in our head but life has its own way of going through the motion of changes. You make your life with the people you let in your circle, the company you keep ( I am not talking about the forced intruders here, who are peripheral to your main relation). As long as you have good people in your life to enjoy it with it will be worth living. A good friend of mine has once said that it is a sad thing that people change, and I had laughed and replied thank the merciful God that people change otherwise how boring life would have been with the same old same old kind of people in our life.

Your life is your adventure, ENJOY the ride.

Friendship- Luxury of Being

Today I am feeling a bit nostalgic. Well, I am a Pisces and dreaming is what we do best ;) so that is not new. So today's topic my brain chose to be nostalgic about is my friends. Oh boy, what a bunch we are.  I have been really lucky in this department. I mean really lucky. See, I am a very lazy person, unless and until I am driven by divine force, I rarely pick up the phone to talk to anybody, it feels like such a hassle to me and everybody in my circle, family and friends alike, know this thing about me, but still most of them choose to stay connected with me while making all the effort. I mean its masterstroke of luck or what, right? From every phase of my life, I got the chance of befriending some wonderful people. Be they are from school times or college times or from professional life who filtered down to become an essential part of life, they have enriched my life in so many ways that I can't even describe it. We had shared so many ups and downs in each other l...

Burden of Hope

I am a Delhite. Born, Brought up, and Spoiled here in Delhi. Delhi -   The Mahanagari-  My city. My home, My love.  People across all walks of life come here in search of a happily ever after. With the hope that the " Mahanagri"  will fulfill their dreams, that the enchanted place will eat away their worries, fill their stomach, and ensure the future of their children. But Alas !! The Mahanagari somehow always fell short.  The burden of hopes and dreams becomes too much to bear.  Hopes & dreams - the heaviest words in the dictionary bigger than Everest deeper than ocean. We dream of a brighter future and hope for a better tomorrow, but in all these rosy-colored dreamlands we forget to take the ownership. We all have an idea of an ideal life, which we live as per the rules engraved in our souls since the very beginning. We try to live up to the expectations and hopes of our parents while parallelly managing our own dreams. We choose our life such th...

God, Gold and G...

Being Human is not as complicated as is presumed. As a human we primarily have two tendencies, to rule or to be ruled, every other emotion is a byproduct of these basic needs. Just think about it. Every action we do, every step we take, hell every religion boils down to two simple thoughts, to rule or to be ruled. 200 years of slavery couldn’t change us, infact 5000 years of culture we boast about proved it even more that we as a society in every era have begged to be ruled by someone or something. Self-discipline is not our thing. We want to follow, we want to obey (wherever convenient) we want a Savior, who can take our woes and give us happiness in exchange for an offering of any kind. The Job used to be very risky in the previous era so Savior used to come once in a millennium. But now with added perks, Savior is working double shifts and is making multiple entries at a single point of time. What a blessed Age. Now the choice is in our hands to pick the savior of our liking. Didn’t...
