As I woke up this morning, I had everything planned for the day. Everything was set to have a perfectly normal day. But, some days just don't turn out to be the way you have planned. It could end up to be a worst one or even better than a normal happy day!

Today, was one such days for me.

As I was enjoying my normal day, a sudden twist to the day came in the form of an old friend, whom I was seeing after 6-7 years. As you all know, 'old friends' means 'old talks'... the excitement of meeting after soo many years really took us back to the good old days of schooling. As we started talking about all the fun, mischievous, unforgettable days of our teen, made us realize how fast time flies and how things can change in a blink of an eye.

Finally after taking a small trip back to our good old days, we came back to reality. And reality has not been easy on her. Talking to her reminded me of the majority of us. The majority who fail to act when they should have. The smallest things that could have been done to create life changing opportunities. The chances that we miss out on by not making a choice to take a chance. Her life was now filled with disappointments and regrets.

Even after she left, there was something stuck in my mind. It did affect me a lot. I had too many thoughts and questions about life. Why do most of us make our life so complicated?

So, I finally decided to put this up on my blog to remind a small fact that most of us forget and also share a small philosophy of my life.

I ain't saying I don't have any regrets in my life. I have made mistakes in past and am pretty sure I will be making a lot more in the years to come. But that's life! We learn and grow from our mistakes. But I don't ever crib on the mistakes that I have made in my life, because they were my choices!

"I prefer doing what I want to do when I want to do it... I would rather regret my actions later than regretting the chances that I didn't take'

Life is too short and most of us keep forgetting that. It's very short to live with disappointments and regrets. If you want to do something, and if your heart says it's the right thing, then just do it right away. Of course, there is every possibility that it may turn out to be a wrong choice, but at least you know that now... you need not have to live your life with IF's and MAYBE's ...you need not have to live with the regret of not taking a chance!

I am just writing this with a hope that somewhere, someone may decide to take a chance...make a choice to do what they want and not regret later...

CHOOSE TO CHOOSE, CHOOSE TO TAKE A CHANCE,

TAKE A CHANCE TO CHASE!

Happy living to all!

As I woke up this morning, a bad memory flashed into view. It's something awful that always puts me into deep pain and fear.

Not too long ago.. There was a bomb blast in the locality I live.. It took away life's of few innocents.. And left behind painful scars for many. Even before the scars could heel and fade away, there was another devastating incident which took the city by storm. It claimed the life of a mother, injured few and left the others in trauma.

The question that keeps taunting me is..
Where is this world going to? This cruelty, hatred, greed, How did it find us? Do we have a name for this darkness that is breeding inside us..??

Someone once said, We would soon reach a time, where we send our children into the world like we send young men to the war.. Hoping for their safe return, knowing that we would lose some of them along the way... And today we have reached that world. We have reached the time where we are obsessed with our own desires and go to any extent to take what is ours and not bother whom we hurt along the way!

When did we lose our way? When did we let the darkness take over us? Did it consume us... Or did we seek it out and embrace it with our lives?? Is there still even a slightest reason to believe that humanity exists among us?

Every time I think of this distressing event, I find no reason to believe that we are still 'being humans'. There is no reason left for me to believe that it's going to get better after each day. But still something keeps pushing me, a voice that constantly says I should never give up believing, it always echoes that I should hold on to the little hope stuck in some corner of my heart.

This voice constantly keeps echoing within all of us. Every time you are losing hope, or giving up on something, or when you tend to do something that you shouldn't ...it echoes. It's like a warning alarm. It's like a guide within us. But most of the time we tend to ignore it. We get so easily carried away by the things around us that we have forgotten to listen and do what our hearts say. Probably if the person behind causing these awful events had given just one minute and listened to his heart, we wouldn't have lost our dreams, our dear ones, our lives.

I don't know whether am trying to question things for which answers are unknown or am trying to make a judgment.. Or trying to find an answer for the innocent souls who left for no fault of theirs.. Or maybe I am just too confused and lost a midst this darkness! But whatever it maybe, whether or not am going to find an answer for my questions, I surely have got reminded of something that I had forgotten to do. To LISTEN. To listen to the voice of my heart.

With a hope that soon things would change and we get to live and give our generations to come to live, in a world that is whole lot better than today, I wish that I wake up for a better tomorrow.

IT'S ABOUT CHOOSING TO TAKE A CHANCE!

IT'S TIME THAT YOU START LISTENING!
