People

Quite often we think why aren't people the way we want them to be? Our Want seems to be greater these days. We want loving parents, affectionate siblings, understanding colleagues, ever admiring bosses.. aren't these virtual realities? Nobody's perfect.. but that doesn't mean life is completely imperfect. :)

One very senior lady once remarked to me - you cant have tailormade people - there is nothing such as perfect husband, perfect son, perfect daughter, perfect wife - you have to blend the best of them with your life in order to make it colourful and people are wonderful the way they are. But are we really able to do it? I doubt cause I am still not able to but I sincerly am trying to. I have criterias for everything - this is good, this is bad and I have been very stringent about this until I met Yuvraj who change my perception of life and thus my life completely. I had had enough of those pravachans from senior, elders everyone who tried explaining how I should change and here comes this man who says - Nothing is Right or Wrong. Its just your point of view about the whole thing. and he goes on talking for quite some time. End Result - I don't care about what someone thinks about me. It only matters what I think about myself - rest all GTH

The interactions with him and like minded people have changed everything. The biggest change that happened was Ahmedabad - a new city, unkown surroundings and unknown people where I ventured to seek newer shores and what did I come back with - Abundance - of people, of life, of relationships, of friendships, of love, of gratitude, of everything. My world suddenly is no more just my family, my job, my colleagues - it is now much more huge, the horizons are still expanding. The biggest realisation was that when we complete learning the lesson for which a certain person comes to your life, the person no more bothers you. I was just thinking about this in the morning today and was wondering how I am still hung on to people who don;t be the way we want them to be and the answer like always, came to me, through my friend, who said, " Swapna you MUST say this - I forgive you for not being the way I wanted you to be, I forgive you and release you." Its an affirmation by Louis Hay and no doubts - it works wonders....

The Beginning

Hi!!

This reminds me of all my first days..

First Day of school, honestly, i just remember the crying part. First day of College was a bigger anxiety, moving from the secure, small environment to the big world ahead. First day at work, first day after marriage and many many more firsts..

The common thing between all those firsts and today is butterflies in the stomach. This is my first day of blogging and not quite sure of what all to write about, its interesting though.

Thats all for today folks...

Love and light,
Swapna
