Perfection is a simple word but carries so much weight. I learn and try to overcome my deficiencies with each passing day but being close to perfect is miles away. Flash back to past and I compare present , I feel I have become more mature, calm and understanding but its wishful thinking- I know it is not enough. Every day is a new leaf so I must be better prepared to face this every changing life.

Precision to detail in every action I perform remains my ardent desire but I often find myself lacking below my set standards. I often justify by telling my mind its tiredness which got better of me and has led me in doing things casually but deep inside I know it is just an excuse. Every action has a reaction, it is a reflection of our personality, projection of our thinking and I wish to be better in it.

Time is another thing which flies more quickly than we imagine. Our busy life keeps us preoccupied hardly giving us a chance to sit back and look at past. I was fortunate enough to scroll some of the snaps in my laptop, clicked and uploaded at various moments in Australia. I was just hit by the thought of how much time has passed……gosh I say to myself- we were all so young, impossible to hide age I guess.

Finally, never give up in life. Life is like a roulette machine – we are spinning in it. No one knows when the jackpot is hit and we get what we dreamt for. Success is a mystery lady…..she comes to people who have the 777 combination of factors of luck, hard work, fate so keep playing this game of life with enthusiasm, belief and faith that our chance will come sooner than later.

Next weekend I shall be with you again.

Much Love to u

Writing makes me converse with myself and I hope it does the same for you.Unleashing my thoughts to you- I muster courage to share about life and relationships in this blog.

The walk of life is lonely. I must confess loneliness is often underrated. It is considered as a demon whereas I feel independence to live life at our terms and conditions is a luxury, available to a limited few. Choice of relationship is more complicated than it appears. It does not take time to be someone from anyone in a relation but the failure to weigh future consequences may prove to be fatal. Few have the patience and stamina to hold relations with the same tenderness and sweetness as before- lets put the blame on human nature-“ When we get something, we lose its importance” It is an easy escape route but then the person in relation is not an object but someone with feelings. I can not stop admiring our parents in this respect who set exceptional examples to prove yes, if we love someone, we never get bored and enjoy living life to the fullest.
There is nothing called a “Perfect Life”- To me, differences can be resolved by talking. Listen to others with an open mind and support your ideas with logical reasoning. Differences are bound to be there but ironing them out – unlocking the tight knots with care should make any relation stronger than ever before.

We shall always meet people. Some will like us, few with love us and many will differ from us. I wish I can hold on to the ones who liked me for a split second. At times, we all tend to be so casual blaming work and money as occupiers that we give no time to nurture that beautiful relation.

Cherish every relation, do the best you can- thank almighty as you are lucky enough to have someone liking you. Respect parents as we are indebted to them for our upbringing.

Take your leave now to be back in future.
Luv u
AJ

I must confess I am bitten by the sweet temptation of posting another thought, so I do it now. This shall be the last one for today till I sit down again and share my next random thought with you- I do not know how soon I will post in future......it can be any day or the next weekend.....


Giving you my idea about Australian culture.......two things which are different here from the rest of the world. We ask " How are you doing?" and the most typical Aussie reply will be " Not too bad". Secondly we address friends not as buddies or dudes but as mates so it is " Cheers mate". I share and accept my incapability to adapt to it. It maybe due to my English learning since childhood where we are taught British english so I am stuck to " I am fine or I am very well thank you" and friends are buddies for me.


Another observation is the high consumption of 3 things in people living in Aussie land-energy drinks, mints and cigarettes. This is complete contrast to Asian countries. I often see boys, girls, men and women gulping energy drinks and these energy drinks beat the cola sales anytime. I curiously pick up one can and notice it contents- The can proudly says " High Caffeine Content"......add to them the coffees that one consumes in office which is again caffeine......I say to myself wow, thats a lot of caffeine to keep buzzing.............. Cigarettes are more smoked because of addiction than liking which is understandable and popping mints is much needed after a fag.


My flashing thought...... I wish I had some percentage stake in any of these three products and I will be rolling in more money than I can ever imagine.


However, back to reality - ifs and buts do not make a life but lets not stop dreaming. Unless we dream we can never strive to make Impossible into I m possible. Failures in life should not break us but toughen us up to withstand any storm for future.


Lots of love

AJ

I take a step forwardin my awareness towards technology by start to blog.......a unique concept religiously followed by most celebrities and people who have the art of expressing their mind with such creativity with amazes me, the playful use of words make a simple expression so beautiful.......I hope I can do justice to anyone who reads my blog as I wish to keep it simple and honest.

Its a clear blue sky which I see from my room. Projection of a warm day by the weather forecasters who happen to be far more accurate than my imagination. Weekends are the time I wish to detox, catch sleep, ponder at life, take a break from the rush of weekdays. It is like a deep breath of fresh air where I ask my mind and soul to take it easy and not always fighting against time which I usually do all week.

There is some beauty in watching nature, in feeling the breeze, in watching the waves splashing against the rocks or just taking a stroll down the road not knowing the destination.

Each of us has our own ways of living. We derive satisfaction from our individual interests and tastes. Some get a kick by meeting people, some by a simple cup of coffee, to some sleep is the best whereas some may prefer just heading out to the movies.

I think over time I have been more observant than expressive. I enjoy watching people, their smiles and how we all intrepret the same thing differently. I always wish to support my thinking by logic than my heart which I hope is a better way of living . Some thoughts which always keep coming back to me are " We should carry our own baggage", " Life is an experience so live it",
" The time of tide will change, it never remains the same so do not let present drain you".
Finally, in good times we will forget the pains of past so be patient in life and God shall do justice to your wait because " When it rains, it pours"

Much love
AJ
