What am I reading?

I just started reading a new book - 'You will See It When You Believe It' written by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.

The introduction page made me feel to pick this book and read it further. I cannot write more about this book as I am yet to read it but I have read other books by the same author, and somehow I enjoy reading his books.

Happy Sunday:)

Nothing Like Her !

I feel what I feel, I can only talk to my mother. The only person who will never judge me or hate me for being me. The darkness around me can only be felt by my mother. I do not need God because I have my mother. At this moment, I just want to be with my mom...:)....Omg, I do not believe, I am crying.....but I am sure my readers, we will agree, nothing like a mother in our life. A song that really makes me cry, and reminds me of some moments of my life with my mother.

I hope for a better tomorrow. Till the time, my mother believes, I am right, I do not worry about the world anymore!

Be with yourself for a day!

Yesterday, I watched all the series of Tom and Jerry. I have a great plan for today too. Yesterday, I also listened to some of my favourite songs but today I will read my new book gifted to myself. I am also reading Bhagvad Gita daily. 

I have send some clothes and medicines for the Himalayan Tragedy. Though it might not make much of a difference. I plan to stay away from my laptop and iPad for the remaining week. I just want to spend time with myself and closer to nature. I just got a canvas and have started painting it too. Again these colours make me feel so good.

I look forward to meeting my family, if I am allowed to travel. I have so many plans for my trip. This day is just my day for myself. I want to spend it with myself only!

I have downloaded two movies and will watch them back to back after my workouts. Just spend a day with yourself. It makes you happy much more than being a part of the crowd all the time. It is good to be bored as written in one of the chapters in the book - Don't Sweat The Small Stuff by Richard Carlson.

Can we restart in life?

I am glad like our computers, we do have something like a restart in our lives. But when the word restart is used for starting from the scratch, you feel hurt. In 2006, I started my journey of medical problem, almost gave two years, finally resigned in 2008 but recovered by mid of 2008.

My father called an hour back and asked me a question, "Why do I feel you are hiding something from me? You talk about it to your mother but not to me. You feel, I might not understand or feel bad about it."

I smiled over the call and just wiped my tears. You know what, "I am fine."

It gives happiness when a lie can make your loved ones relaxed and happy. As such also people cannot help me at this point but being happy will at least give them a contentment. I am 5 weeks away from recovery but as per my doc, it will take almost a year to have a normal life. I resumed my activities from Monday. I started gymming from today. But everything is not the same or maybe will never be the same.

But I have learned a fact - smile in pain is all time better than crying with pain. It makes a lot of difference. I might not be the same person or daughter or wife for my family but I will try as I have restarted from where I was in 2006. It hurts, indeed it hurts very badly, I am back to 0. But I will still not give up as if I give up, I die before I actually die. I swim 2500 m daily, walk 6 km at a very slow speed, and light workouts. But yes the pain travels with me all that while. Still I do not stop myself.

Though things will never be the same again for me but a hope of being fine lives within me, each day.

At times, I get up at 2 am and cry with pain. But then sleep with my tired eyes. This is a sign that there is a hope to fight and to recover.

You only lose when you give up in life. You fail when you stop trying in life. The easiest thing to live is Just Live.....to Live!

In the famous words of SRK, we fall in love only once, we get married only once and we live only once.

In nutshell, it is only once as we get only one life....

Could we speak the language of dolphins?

The flutter and flips of a dolphin so much resemble our lives. I started my day on a note to just walk. When I should walk, my focus must be on my life not on anything else whether my past or my future to come. Just to flutter and flip like a dolphin. As I cannot change things but I HAVE to CHANGE myself. I started reading Gita gifted to me by my friend. I cooked lunch for my husband and I am not upset about anything anymore. I could actually gather energy to write and it is all because I have accepted a fact - acceptance is a key to happiness and expectation is a key to a miserable life. 

After three weeks, I watched a video on Ted.com and I am sharing with my readers. With time, it is very important to distance yourself from the crowd albeit you might find yourself lonely but it is good to be with yourself for some time. Watch this video and if you are a sea lover, you will really enjoy it.
