Give Me a Drift...



What is it like you get up in the morning, start your morning chores and get back to so-called Life yet again? Well, that was just not to develop any pessimism towards so-called Life.

Give me a drift is a line of series of events of this so-called regular day monotonous life that we often forget to enjoy and cherish given that we are self-assumed pretty busy creature doing stuff to bring things back to place! Sometimes I wonder, what all things....let's leave all of that...! And begin with the 'Morning', the time/event most of us tend to forget or lose, given to our pleasures of sleeping....

So, what's in store in the mornings that you don't find otherwise? Let's find out..........

  • It is the time which gives you a drift. To explain this phenomenon, I guess I need to first of explain the very 'give a drift'. Lately, I have started jogging in morning pretty consistently and I have my own reasons for that! And when I jog in the lap of nature, I realized that it is this time, which is the best time to reconcile your thoughts and self-introspect.
  • It is the time you get the much needed drift to transform your thoughts into actions.
  • It is the time when sun showers the glory on the mighty earth bringing in the limelight over the humankind to the novel and bright side of any and every element in relation.
  • It is the time you think of your loved ones like you never feel....sometimes!
  • It is the time when you can associate just about anything to anything, ultimately churning out amazingly out of box ideas like the idea of writing this blog is something I got.
  • It is the time when smiling and greeting faces of unknown makes you live with full vigour and passion.
  • It is the time your anger (read: positive vigourJ) gets ignited.
  • It is the time misty fog of the morning welcomes you.
  • It is the best time to chat with your friends or partner and appreciate all the great beautiful things.
  • It is the best time to find anyone in his/her best mood; do I need to say anything more! :)
  • It is the best of the times to listen the nature sing for you...Yes...you heard it rite...for you! Just walk down the country or for that matter any place blessed with green cover and you may find the nature all enjoying by itself.

PURSUIT OF FUTURE…


In the very pursuit of future, man do go on doing things just to secure so called his future, which he himself is pretty unsure about. So, what's the very need to go to such extents and sacrifice all your passionate life and toil hard for actually nothing?? Wonder whether its nothingness or utter superficial completeness!

If we start looking at things, how they go about in our lives, we could chart out many stuff, certifications and work which has absolutely no meaning for our progress but we do it just for the very showcase of ours in front of ever so inquisitive world.


The very pursuit of happiness and contentment can even come from small gesture of yours to feed the unnourished or a small help to aged person. But, we are so seasoned to look at the success as only way to lead life…well nothing really wrong about it as in this world we are taught to be the rat in the rat race and in this race knock down every possible hindrance to get ahead no matter whatever comes in your path.

A small outing with your little sibling or cousin and treat him with small gift may mean great world to him, and you'll wonder what all you actually need or require to make yourself feel so great and accomplished. I can tell you this out of my experience.....a ice-gola or a packet full of balloons whatever! The sense of happiness to spend a little time with your grandparents and listen to their age old times may give them such a great happiness, which eventually will feed to your contentment quotients, which is actually much more than happiness u yield in this material world. If you start putting your head to the task and start brainstorming, you'll realise that simple things and deeds for people around you can itself get the much required the goodness to your life.

But in the progressing world, where everything is counted and valued while you are expected to be savvy, sophisticated and polished in every sense, be it money, dress-sense or for that matter language all that fancy jargons of corporate world. You'll wonder sometime in your ever-growing life the very need to get off all this fanciness and be as simple as roti-kapda and makan...and if ever you get an opportunity to visit one of those great countryside people and their lives, you'll be surprised they are the same creatures as you, rather much more contented and happier even though they are devoid of all the great luxuries of cell-phones, laptops , air conditioners, treadmills etc...Still if they stand in race with you, they will definitely score higher in most of the fundamental departments.

So, sometimes, I wonder...Are we heading in right direction Or is it just the part of game as we all say?

Leaving you on the quote by Hugh Prather:
  "The components of happiness are quite simple. Happiness is gentleness, peace, concentration, simplicity, forgiveness, humor, fearlessness, trust, and now. In its true form each quality includes all the rest, for happiness is whole, and one feels whole when genuinely happy."

Disclaimer: "Well, that's all just a thought; neither do I nor you can go so extremes, for the attainment of impulsive feel-good factors in such fast-paced stressful life comes in the picture every now-n-then!" :-)
