My warm welcome to my readers.  Greetings on the beginning of Indian New Year and I hope that this new start brings peace, prosperity and happiness to one and all.

Work caught up with me making my weekends seem like weekdays. It rendered me incapable to assimilate my thoughts, thus causing my absence. It was a pleasant awakening phone call by Miss Bryant, urging me to write something and reminding me of the fact that it’s been long awaited. I am indeed more than happy to oblige.   Thank you Lee- Anne for your kindness and I also wish to apologize to the ones silently waiting for my new updates.

Life is about transition and moving ahead. Transition of learning new things every passing second, gaining experience from various facets of life and pondering back at the opportunities grabbed or missed.  We all learn the hard way but let us not forget to smile and rejoice the present in quest of our future dreams. This moment shall not return so make the most of it. I do agree that it is easier said than done but then it does not hurt to try—simple examples teach us a lot, does a honey bee ever give up from searching nectar from flower or does an ant ever stop work no matter how long they take to build its ant hill?

It is entirely upon us to how we shape our lives. Make it honey dipped and trust me you will love life passionately- take it as a challenge if odds are against you and I am sure there will be enjoyment, interest and satisfaction when fighting against trying circumstances.  Don’t give up as it is too easy. We must know that sometimes in life results are inconsequential but attempt mandatory. The Bhagavat Gita so aptly stated – Do your Karma!!!!

I keep this blog short as I must return to work. I will get back whenever there is a window of opportunity to reconnect with you.

Much love

AJ

I share my joy and happiness in being back with you. I chuckle to myself -How quickly time flies….I render my sincere apologies if you were waiting for an update earlier…..I did not want to write anything half heartedly. I was torn between work and sleep, rushing in my mind doing daily chores, so I preferred to wait for the right moment.

The initial euphoria of reading my writing has somewhat settled now. The first week had many people checking my blog but I would like to believe now it’s only me with some selected few. I remain deeply obliged for your support and encouragement and I must confess I always look forward to your elite company.

Let us drift into our ocean of thoughts where we dip with pleasure, freefall like bungee jumping and let the adrenaline of blood rush in us as we are opening ourselves to our soul……it gives me a kick and high exactly like one gets from smoking marijuana or drinking alcohol…..yes it’s the moment we connect wishfully and wilfully and it’s a pleasure to do so.

Money makes us do crazy things. I always thought it is means to fulfil desire but these desires never cease. Spending money gives us momentarily relief of satisfaction but I wonder how much it is linked to happiness……we assume money will make us happy but is it so? In fact as I see it- Money tempts us to make our desires to reality in shortest possible time by reducing our level of patience…….watch out for catch 22 situation…..how we prioritize our choice of desires is crucial. These choices are directly proportional to how much we wish to earn money.

Also, let’s accept and acknowledge the fact that there is no correlation between education and money. The best of brains may not build wealth equivalent or greater than their counterpart’s with similar intelligence. Generating wealth remains a mystery and no one knows who will strike gold at what time of their lives.

So, let’s keep it simple, savour the lovely moments of this life without career being the prime concern. Let us try to spend more time with our near and dear ones. After all, they love us unconditionally and I wish we all can hold on to this priceless treasure.

Take it easy; things will work out better sooner than later.

Love you with passion
AJ
