Cheers to Life

Sorry my friends for taking so long. Howz life?

Hmm ! Celebrated my 40th Birthday. Phew!! Am I sad  naah , I heard or rather read that life actually starts when you turn 40 . So, what’s Life? Life is beautiful , it  teaches you a lot. What did I learn in these 40 years or did I really learn?  That’s a big question,  do we actually learn???

Okay,  so here it goes my lectures about life . You know I cherish my childhood  so does everyone . I remember each and every moment. Starting from first time cooking to first crush . Which phase of life I like or you like , I’m sure each one of us  have our own  favorite phase.  You know , I have realized as you grow old you meet people who are more complicated or rather you start thinking in a complicated way or you think too much loose your spontaneity .

Sometime or rather most of the time reality is harsh , but you know I always try to find some positive value  from all the negative  that happens in life and I never loose hope. Let me share a incident that happened toady at my workplace. I went to the ladies room  and there was this lady who was sobbing terribly and I thought for a moment I should wait for her in case she needs anything or you know I wanted to be by  her side but then I looked at others , they seemed not to care or may be they cared but they didn’t wanted to show  or may be I thought if I wait for her I might be  intruding her personal space . I  followed others  and  did not wait for her . Then I grabbed my coffee and I kept on  thinking about that lady and believe me I hated myself that why didn’t I wait for her. Why didn’t I follow my heart. Then I went back  to check and that lady had left the ladies room. I felt really sad for her and for my behavior . That’s when  I realized how complicated  I have become , I think too much , don’t have guts to listen to my heart and I hated myself.  Had this situation been  years back I know what I would have done , would have just knocked the door and asked her “are you doing okay , do you need anything ?” , Wouldn’t have thought that I’m capturing her personal space.  So what have I learnt, always follow your heart , your instincts , don’t follow others when you know they are not correct.

You know when you are a kid  you are a free bird ,  you are that innocent , for you black is black as we grow older we try to mix colors. I’m a open book anybody can tell what’s going on in my heart but trying hard or rather learning to maintain faces why , that’s what I have seen people doing  but realized not my cup of tea and yes if you are true to yourself or do not pretend people will love you for what you are . No human being is bad or good its our choices we make  in life that makes us bad or good , its our thinking that makes us modern or orthodox not money /education or cloths you wear . It’s us what makes us .  I read a quote in social media that you should talk to yourself  everyday  otherwise you miss out on a best friend and that’s so  true isn’t it !

You must be thinking what happened to me , my promise was to take you to dreamy world and not show the reality or rather not give lectures what to do  and what not to do. In reality I’m pretending to act as 40 year old woman (ha ha)  but alas I know I cannot pretend , I cannot grow up , I’ll  go back  again to my dreamy world and will take you my  friends  to the world which is not complicated  and you can dream about anything like flying your car or anything  . Till then cheers to life , stay healthy , keep smiling , make others happy that  will make you happy and do not pretend.
