“Please mom just ten more mins”, maya said moaningly.

“It won’t be nicer, if you go to college late on the very first day. Wake up and get ready”

Maya woke up and went to take a refreshing shower.

After shower, she got ready and hurried to move to her college.

When the bus started to move, she missed the balance and dropped the coins in her hand, which she kept for taking ticket on a boy’s head, who was sitting in the seat and immersed in reading a book.

“Ouch”, screamed the boy.

After sometime, the boy screamed again.

Where You Lost?

Nothing in the earth,

So warmth as you,

As a series of fire,

That sets free to caught up around,

Magical mirror of soul,

Makes the day full of shines,

With no effort or risk,

You made the world very bright,

When eyes start twinkle,

You born with the instant glow,

If life puts on dark and gloomy,

Simplest way to hide it though,

Priceless gift of all that receive,

Then be yours a lot to give,

When desperate time and fate coalesced,

There’s where I lost you…

My Beautiful Smile!

Heart Feelings 11

everyone wears a mask of smile

and show up as they are close

to each other, but in reality

they are keen enough in

knowing each other’s secrets

from them and enjoy spreading it

behind and laugh over

Live Now

Everything happens in a moment, but the mind unaware of it. Every present we live will be stamped as past certainly. The mind wonders to the past or longs for the unhappened future but all these are realized in the moment. That’s now.

Being conscious in the moment opens up the possibility of a positive and promising future. Ofcourse , this doesn’t mean we don’t need to plan, set goals or prepare for future. We can do all these things and still enjoy each moment as it unfolds.

But how to live now? Its very simple. You just focus on the moment 100%. This means that you do not think about the past or project a future and keep on being in the moment only one moment at a time. Some call this as meditation and indeed your life becomes a continuous meditation. Life is not about achieving but experiencing second by second.

Everybody can live now. So there is nothing to learn or become – only to realize. The biggest hurdle to live now is haunting past and the scary future. Balance the life exactly in the middle between the past and future without any tilting to either direction.

It is a matter of the right attitude. Life becomes a happy and enjoyable trip when the attitude towards it and its events are positive and the present moment is used in the best possible way.

As our minds recreate our past in thoughts, we find that the present is always the mirror of the past. Then nothing new happens and we complain that life is always the same, that nothing changes. Weird, foolish and funny at the same time, isn’t it?

Steps to practice to live now:

• Stop thinking about past and future (atleast not more).

• Don’t rush up with your life to achieve your long term goals. You may forget to live happily.

• Don’t try to please everyone you meet in your daily life (cos half of your life will end up doing this rather than living your own).

• Do the things which you enjoy and not the ones that are forced to do.

• Do your work with enthusiasm and fun mixed (if your work is not so, then make it so in your own way).

• Stop multi-tasking often (do a single work with more concentration by enjoying it).

Will this work? Really I don’t know. But surely it will helpful to relieve the stress in your life. Try it!

Kiss your life

Accept it, just as it is
