Harness positivity to fuel actions that will fill the missing blocks of your life!



Beyond and above all selfishness, there’s a free zone of goodness and positivity. But to reach that outer space one has to propel past from woes, worries, vices and all the negativity. Often the situations grip you and might hijack your brain, draining all your energies and directing them towards situations not under your control. Stop, detach and cut your emotions that very moment. Align all issues at hand in points. Analyze and prioritize them for a solution each. List out all possible solutions. See what and how much is workable and under your control. And finally sort out those problem-solution combos that are in contradiction.

All this might require a great deal of your rationale mind and lot more energy to stop your already-on-roll negativity. It is like changing the current of your thought streams. If need be, jot them on a piece of paper or use the voice recorder on your phone. If comfortable chat it out with a friend or think of it as someone else’s problem because most of us are good at solving it for others, but unable to clear it out for self; which is fine and normal, like a doctor can’t operate a dear one of their own, similarly we too get emotionally involved and surrounded by love for our life.

We keep staring at the path that we wanted our life to take and instead we miss out on the other opening that awaits us. Though that other opening might have a flicker of light guiding you or could be a path packed with sheer darkness, but have faith in what you have asked for and when you ask, ask sensibly and with full belief. Things will move, they might take some time, but soon they will reach you and fill the missing blocks of your life when it actually must.

Sweet little goodness of moments…comes in little packets of joy.


Out at about 9:30 am, I was waiting to catch an auto at the stand when I saw a school bus pass by. It was packed with overwhelmed kids, who must be in grade 6 or 7. Singing out songs aloud, clapping, some eating chips, some waving and making faces at the crowd, they were all pumped up. Of course they were off for a picnic, for two obvious reasons, one it was 9:30 am and two it’s a good feeling to go to school but the excitement like there’s matched only of a study free-classless day.

Oh the joys of childhood and school days, when we cribbed to be grown ups. And today unlike teachers and homework we have bosses and deadlines where we have both home and office work that never seems to end.  Picnics, well we all go out for a movie or an outing but nothing can match being with friends, together on board in a school bus and doing all that a teacher asked us not to.

But again, our times today are also great, which I soon realized when I saw an aged woman standing next to me. Moving her neck looking at the slowly passing by bus, her eyes met mine. She had the same joy as mine but the glare in her eyes was brighter than mine. Instantly I knew, she too was on a nostalgic trip. And then she smiled at me and said ‘joys come in little packets…you are still young, live each moment.’ And she moved towards the auto that just came to a halt, and all I could do to thank her with a smile and wave her goodbye.
