The WOW Moment :)

Random time, random date and random place… Opened facebook .. on the right side where it shows highlights , some update on a third party album gave me access to it. It was a girl all decked up in a pic… I clicked on the pic to see what it was all about… and the moment the pic appeared before me.. that word came out without delay of a second.. I had not planned it , and I would definitely not waste it on a third person… but it did not concern my say… just like a flash of lightning struck me when I saw the pic and I exclaimed WOW!

The pic was amazing. It was perfect in all respects, the one you could gaze at for hours.. just admiring how beautiful someone could turn out to be. And seriously I was curious to venture this unknown territory and check out the other pics of the girl… clicked for the other pics…left me disappointed. They were not so good. So finally I concluded that it was just in the spur of the moment. The expression that caught the eye. And as far as I think, this kind of pic cannot be planned. It was just a WOW pic!

In the same way I think of a WOW moment… we all have had ours. And if you really think hard... at this point... just take a second to think of your WOW moment… the time when u thought it was the greatest time of the world, the greatest happiness surrounded you and you wanted those moments to last forever. You could live your life just remembering how much that moment meant to you and the fact that it happened to you made your life more worth living.

This is a quest for those moments, a tribute to those feelings.

There are plenty of your friends who might share that moment with you… and there will be plenty of those, maybe the people really close to your heart, you want to live these moments with. I think you should prepare a list… just as I did!

Most of our life is a series of images.
They pass us by like towns on the highway.
But sometimes, a moment stuns us as it happens.
We know that this instant is more than a fleeting image.
We know that this moment… every part of it… will live on forever.


Amen!

INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Written by : William Ernest Henley
P.S : "Invictus" in latin means unconquerable.

DARE ME

Recently I asked a friend to come and watch a movie.. Dil chahta hai.. and he said “okay, just the fun part”… for a moment I was struck by his answer.. I had not anticipated it at all…and that made me think.. why did he say that? Which makes me think of another fact that people often want to think happy thoughts.. they do not want to do anything with the negativity…

Even when they see a beggar with amputated limbs on the roadside and they just turn away or give him a five rupee coin and get rid of their own guilt … I would rather term this turning as running….running away from the truth that surrounds you. It’s weird how people just choose to look away and negate the existence of anything else around them. I do not want to be one of them.

Call me insane but I deliberately take a good look at everything especially something which seems even a bit sinister… brings me closer to the reality of life. And I think it’s pretty okay to feel what I feel when I see such things. Why? Well because it makes me stronger, it does not make me whine and run away like the people out there ignoring everything around them and complaining about their miserable lives.

I have always thought that my life has been pretty good….but I want to make it great…something to make it really matter... but I haven’t found how yet. Maybe my life is perfect and I have not realized it yet. Or Maybe I’m just running… running from the hopeless emptiness of the life I currently lead.

But the fact that even after such a long time I have not found anything yet makes me think…
Maybe it’s a tendency that we humans share, this pathetic little tendency of getting settled. I know it’s more comfortable…

It’s more comfortable here in the old hopeless emptiness …. Maybe we all deserve each other !!!

I have asked this from many people that,”Is this the life they are content with? Do they search for greater good? Are they really living what they seek? Or The biggest question.. Have they figured out what they seek?”

They just laugh at me and ask me if I am in my senses..lol.. and the ones who answer negate it all… but I never look for the what they say.. I just wait for the first twitch that comes in their expression when I ask them this... answers it all….”No one forgets the truth.. they just get better at lying.”

The danger with calling their bluff is that even if u win.. u risk them walking away from the table for good…

U know y m scared about not finding my bliss? … because then my life becomes real… and it’s not what I hoped for…real!

It is said that sometimes the only thing to do is to wrap your arms around each other and just..let go!
People come back to help you come to terms or lead the way…

When I think about letting go of my quest, I do not feel pain or sadness, only a sense of profound disorientation as if i had been kidnapped by aliens and then released unharmed a few hours later..

I see no hope if I continue like this ,I pray to the eternal power to DARE me to fulfill my quest….because at times you end up doing things that you normally wouldn’t do ...............because calling it a DARE makes it alright!
