Dimple for a Pimple

It would be so nice if one could replace the pimples with those deep dimples. Well, here I am to save the day, to keep those nasty pimples away. Temptation is that ultimate source of pimples. The temptation to have that dark chocolate brownie, to get that roadside gol gappa a little more spicy, to finish off the last bar of choc that resides in the fridge, to skip your workout for a day (thinking it won’t make a difference) and so on. And then the next morning a happy bright red pimple is just there right in front.

Well in that case I’d share that one must exercise inner peace of happiness by loving oneself unconditionally and not let the next huge chunk of life revolve around that red little spot! Standing in front of the mirror, losing all patience and trying to blow it off or actually resorting to those so-called promising face washes or your granny’s remedies will lead you nowhere.

One should focus on well-being inside your heart and in your mind to have that bright face with a touch of confidence. Feel beautiful inside and outside. The power of that ugly tiny pimple will only exists if you give focus to the space that it is on. It’ll be as large as you make it in your mind. Undoubtedly sometimes a voice in your head tells you that it was sinful and you shouldn’t have done it but your heart is still stuck there.

But then again, who decides it’s a sin? Is there anything wrong in some pleasure? Why sometimes things that give you some satisfaction restricted? Why pimples are not ok? Since they leave a mark? But then that mark vanishes with a short span of time..

Turn your attention to the beautiful being that you are and concentrate on your lushes lashes, apple-shaped eyes, luscious lips and an enchanting smile. Don’t make it complicated, but just look into the mirror and say to yourself, I’m here and I’m alive, with my round & slightly dimpled nose it’s time for me to strike a pose!

Playfulness!!!

This is one of those concepts all you guys are familiar with but find it bit hard to define. Many a times your close mates tend to tell you to stop acting kiddish, and behave like grown ups. To them I’d say “We don’t stop playing because we grow old, BUT we actually grow old because we stop playing!!”

It is sometimes misinterpreted that playfulness is a sign that a person hasn't grown up. But actually being playful is in no manner co-related with a difficulty in being serious!

There’s this famous biblical quote we learnt in school, which says, “Now that I am a man, I have put away childish things.” The incitement to be grown up about life and take things seriously is pretty well understood, but boy, do we really heed it?? Well I’d guess “NO” You think society has a real down on playfulness. On that I’d again say, “OFCOURSE NOT”

According to me, its something that is really exciting, intoxicating and it nurtures the part of us that still feels like a kid!!

Many psychologist & researches have also claimed that being playful is a great EMOTIONAL RESOURSE. I’d read this somewhere (though I don’t remember the exact sources) that states “A couple that plays together, stays together!”

And according to me, some of the best playful moments happen spontaneously. For instance acting coyly or affectionately teasing “your-that-someone” can be considered as a “romantic kind of playfulness”.

It is something that is very essential component in building healthy relationships – your connections with family, friends, your co-workers, your lover everybody.

More importantly, it is to be in the moment that makes the “play” possible. The more often you laugh, the more you enjoy with your fellow mates, the more playful you are with them, the more it keeps them by your side. Such acts are somewhat contagious. By that I mean, the moment others hear the laughter primes, their respective brains send signals for a bright smile and there arises a willingness to join in on the fun.

It’s never too late to develop and embrace your playful side. As a baby you were always playful. So why let that so-called concern of “how you’d look” or “how you’d sound” to others limit your playfulness??!

Just loosen up a little bit, identify things you already enjoy, and incorporate playful activities in it. Embrace your playful nature with other people! :D

God & i...

I find my GOD…
“Within me. I find my Lord in everything I do, my work, my love, my books. His power is truly everywhere”

I connect to GOD…
“Internally. I absolutely love him & feel I can connect to Him anytime anywhere be it while riding my vehicle or while comfortably sitting on my bed in morning/night time. I strongly feel His presence in the Puja ghar at home. I love to quietly observe His beautiful face, chant a short Aarti/Prayer I know. I attribute and admire His beautiful creation all around – beautiful nature, adorable babies, innocent animals. They are just so genuine”

Karma i consider is…
“What goes around, comes around. I truly believe in Karma because I strongly feel that what deeds we do will always affect our future one day. As you sow, so shall you reap. I truly have immense faith in Him. Everybody in this world has an equal share of good and bad. If something bad is happening to me today, maybe it’s because I have already had a lot of good and Im just paying my dues for bad.”

My true Contentment lies in…
“Love”

“Loving everything & everyone, people around me, my family, my friends/colleagues, my work, everyone with whom I am or I was once attached in the past. My contentment lies in happiness, security, joy and fulfillment in the lives of people whom I’ve loved, whom I’ll always love and who love me.”

Bewitched ;)

Mesmerizing me is simple,
the only thing you have to do
is talk..

With that mouth, as it moves slowly
In my head..

Those eyes that look into mine bashfully..

Those hands that peck my arm
a few seconds,

so naturally

I freeze
'coz I think I forget to breathe every now and then


BUT believe me
I swear,

I listen! ;)
