Welcome My Dear World…!!!

This blog is just an endeavor to pen and share some episodes of my life and some waves of thoughts that hit me. Please don’t mistake that you can study me as a whole in here. I’m sorry, for I too have many things to be kept reserved either within my family schema or within my psyche. But whatever that have been scribbled in this sunless sky is true. I promise.

All the inhabitants of Mother Earth are free to view this blog and post their critics, observations and suggestions.

Here mentations are drifting into a sunless sky...and I named it “Aphorisms”….Keep reading…

The Rich, The Ascetic & The Common Man..


"I don’t regret the past, and I don’t care about the future. I live and love my present."

The Facets:

Richness…!!! How much rich??? No idea about that. No idea of how rich I need to be to stop regretting the past; then, to stop being anxious about the future and finally to live and love my present. Will that be an inflated bubble? I have no idea about that too. I want that tag line to be perpetual. Something as perpetual as the sun, never-fading. But an ultra-luxurious life would be something in which I wouldn’t fit in. Too much luxury itches. 

So then comes the second, Detachment!! Relinquished! Departed! The life of an Ascetic. The life of a Wanderer.

Detachment has always been a much coveted dream of my life. More than an aim it’s a dream. Aim is the level between the dream and its transition to reality. It’s not all that easy for a Dream to move down to an Aim.  Effort, focus and above all, you should deserve to be able enough to wave a green flag to bring it to an attainable form of an Aim and then to the tangible form of Reality.

Drifting back to Detachment. No strings attached, no inhibitions, like an ever-flowing river...a relinquished life that is simply original...Simply simple. There the regret and the anxiousness in the tag-line bear more metal to be perpetual. It can be a journey with different colors like a pilgrim, student, traveler, explorer, photographer, or a writer. Name it!! The aim will be to free the mind to where it wishes to fly or to flow. If it’s a life of that kind I can say that “I don’t regret the past, and I don’t care about the future. I live and love my present.” But there are strong strings attached. Really strong strings.

Yet, Present is cool. Life is entertaining with the cameo appearances of the two facets discussed earlier along with a mixture of millions of other elements. Still in this living life I can say that I live and love my present with all the hurdles that come on the way.

Satisfaction is the fourth and the ultimate. Aims are inevitable, but what remains in the filter after draining the aim is that which is to be decimated...the greed.

For living the life the number of strings isn’t relevant at all. Take life as it comes. Enjoy it like watching a suspense thriller with a beautiful BGM played with the strings attached. Utilize and ride it to the finishing point and say “That was a cool ride…”
