I brush my heart everyday!!!

     We eliminate the odour, wash off the hands to get rid of dirt's, dust and vacuum our place, do the dishes, remove the stains, polish our shoes, brush our teeth, mop the floors, shampoo our hair, trim the plants, white-wash the walls, dust the shelves and books, service our cars, get unwanted things off our sight. Exactly, we throw away the unwanted. When I speak of unwanted its mostly to do with the things exterior. But, much greater plague lay in our hands. The kinds that medicine can't cure and the kinds that tears us apart, eats us from inside. Often times, although by no means always, we forget its not the things we need to get rid off. Its the heartbreaks, grudges, regrets, depression, anger, doubts... but we go on with life without trying to fix them. We might look shiny and clean but we become the walking, breathing tragedies.

     When it comes to THINGS - we keep the best ones close to heart and sight; let go of unwanted "tad too easily" in a heartbeat. And that's how it should function. HOLDING ON - either to things or people have never proved beneficial, never proved worthwhile. We should train and teach ourselves to let go of not only the unwanted things but people who pulls us down and frictions the happiness we deserve. Let go of whiners, unkind's, complainers, bullies, heart breakers, motor mouths, gossip mongers, everybody who are pulling us down.
     When we let go of unwanted things, we make more space for wanted. Similarly, letting go of people who who we don't want in life makes more space and time for the ones we want. Let go of things that aren't useful, beautiful and joyful. Make space for wanted. Let go of people who brings the worst in you out. Make space and time for those who helps you to face the sunshine. I am, by no means, suggesting you to be selfish but aware. Aware that our time in earth and present moment is limited. Keep close - to things and people - that will serve you the greatest and highest good.
     And I'm NO expert. I've started applying  this theory recently in my life. I've started making more time for the people I love, like and care. People who make my life meaningful, beautiful and joyful. Make time to write emails, make mini-phone calls, send post cards, buying meaningful gifts (not the 11th hour compensations). Its a process and I intend to hold on it it. Cheerios blog-buds!!! P.S. How often do you brush your Heart?

one helluva sandwich!! one helluva day!!

     It was one of those days when I'd wake up and just know "this is going to be one fine sunny day." I played "never gonna leave this bed" by Maroon 5. Man!! Adam Levine has one helluva voice. As i was brushing, I recalled my dream and I smiled. As a medical student many have been pressing me to watch Gray's Anatomy and I just did. Watched three episodes to be precise. And in my dream I saw one of the characters from the G.A. Also my mum was showing this big tomato tree with big trunk and branches (o'course in my dream/how hilarious). Its a dream anything is possible RIGHT?. If only reality was as much fun as dream is, alas. I left home feeling really upbeat and spotted following random things, thank god I took camera with me today.

SPOTTED#1 :: the old are in a second childhood!!

     The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquillity of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth (words from 'the summing up').


     I've always taken aged ones as story tellers. They've, within them fountain of stories. I remember my grand-mum telling me stories of the days when my dad was a child and his mischievous ways around her. No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning. This picture, in particular, is just too awesome. I was strolling in the park with a friend and there she was holding specs on her hand and squinting her eyes to read the book. Age is truly just the number. If she has in her, this will to study and this sense of inquisitiveness, at this age; we might as well learn thing or two from her and try to retain our sense of wonder;)


     Betty Friedan quote : Older, we must move, and stay, and move again, to keep our life-giving ties alive, for this movement is our fountain of age. And there's a freedom in realizing this, a new freedom to move or stay, new necessities and possibilities of choice.

SPOTTED#2 :: dirty stinky feet!!

     Behold people and try to find this feet sticking right out of the car window. Well he was there taking his scheduled siesta and not bothered at all. All this at the wee business hours. Don't we all wish sometimes, to just pause the helter-skelter days and date with ourselves. Relaxing and not worry about the global warming, apocalypse, world wars, job, money and what not!! My idea of relaxing might not be sticking the feet out of car and taking the nap but hey whatever works for you..lol.

SPOTTED#3 :: facebook and all the fun it brings along!!

     OK. Here's the thing. I'd always loathed this burgeoning facebook applications (silly ones), and today somebody posts on my wall with the question "DO U THINK SHAILESH IS A TERRORIST : CLICK HERE TO UNLOCK THE ANSWER".. Hold it there, the one who posted it is my English teacher from secondary school. Taru ma'am;) Aww facebook you gave me lol moment of the day!! Ta'ru ma'am keep facebooking.


     Next, one of my facebook friends shares a status which reads "Now am sure the world is not going to end in 2012 because even my toothpaste is dated to expire on 2013!!" lol. How refreshing and upbeat;)

.............................................................................................................

     And finally you might be wondering why did I state sandwich in the post title. Its because this amazing day started with me munching some sandwich's, and that might have catalysed the energy in me to look around my habitat and actually notice the humor (all) around!! So eat well peeps and keep your eyes wide open, because when you start looking you start finding things that might just make you smile. And we can always use some smiles;)

Below is another picture of this inspiring old lady this fine sunny day. Ciao
