Exquisite views/2017 – 15/365

Weather has been strange this past couple of months. It was not as cold during December even the beginning of January made every one believe that it is just going to be a dry winter this year.

Personally, I was getting disappointed, but finally it snowed and quite a lot compared to last four years. The Himalayas from upper mountain ranges to the lower foot-hills are all covered in snow in keeping with the name Himalaya. And the chill can be felt across the country. It is cool literally.

On the funny side of things, people in the city are complaining about it getting colder than usual while some of them do not mind visiting a hill station to have that fresh snow-fall experience. Anyway too cold it is a problem. Too hot it is a problem. The insatiable nature of us humans hehe.

I am more of winter person so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow… Late winters, now that is something exquisite.

Foggy fog

It is cold outside!

And I love it.

Had sort of a disagreement with my friends over my attitude concerning another friend’s behaviour. We have had disagreements before but this seemed like a fight (we have had those too). Come to think of it, in any group dynamics or relationship building, the foundation stays weak or vulnerable if it is too smooth – must have cracks. You need to have a healthy and open environment for confrontations and confuting lest the group becomes used to groupthink.

Okay that is too much psychology but it is a known fact that no love exists without clashes. And what is a relationship without complete honesty and if you are totally honest then you can not really please everyone, as much that is a sign of individuality it also teaches others to be tolerant (or shows how much they already are). So I guess it is useful to bring it all out in the open. Today we are stronger than before.

See beyond.

I mean wow, right?

Unseen does not mean it is not there.
It is as close as you want it to be,
As close as you can really feel.
Closer than you know.
Close your eyes for it to show.

Happy Lohri guys! It is that time of the year in the north. The winds are soon gonna change and with the passing winter solstice, winter is officially in its mid-phase. I love the chilly winds and they came pretty late this year so I do not really want winter to end this soon. But it is what it is and the festivals are mere reminders of the new-ness that we must maintain in the mundane life.

Festivals should not just be a reason to be happy, rather celebrations should be the way of life. Something this country knows how to do. We never fall short of festivities or reasons to celebrate.

Reasons

We are capable of distinguishing between things that make us happy or sad but today I realised that, when it comes to being sad I need to bring one sad thought and the other ones just follow and in a minute I can be in that mood where all I am doing is just rolling my eyes like meh. This highlights the fact that when I am happy or actually in a state of being myself, my own, and in bliss I do not really have reasons for it.

Is that not amazing, to know that sadness comes from a million things and happiness from literally nothing; just be in the moment. Be rest assured soon enough you will try to find a reason behind your happiness and poof it will vanish, honestly do not do that.

It is like being at a party not thinking about anything and suddenly you are reminded of your struggles making it impossible to get your spirits up again while all we must do is be in ignorance. You know what? Problems exist but we do not have to carry them all the time in our heads because, worrying is never gonna help and I know it is painful when it hurts (tell me about that) but that is when we must focus on the reasons that make us happy.

Other times let the nature takes its course sing, dance, smile, make others smile be so high on life that problems get scared of you.

Let’s be unreasonably happy not reasonably sad. – Insach

Bleh! The exam today…Gosh I like statistics but why are the exam questions so complex and there is never enough time to solve the problems. Also, who in the world remembers all the equations and formulae unless they use them everyday. I am sure there are just handful of people, specialists, who use stats everyday.

I do not get the whole objective of exams I mean, you study six huge chapters and at the end you might get questions from the topic you left out. That is unfair what about equality? Whoever made the question paper is being mean to other chapters. Won’t the left out chapters feel neglected? Poor chaps! Hehe

I am able to joke about this situation because I know Einstein was not an A student either and I understand why. Teaching is an art and not all teachers have the art. Similarly there is a huge difference in testing someone’s memory, logic, or application of the knowledge. For reasons unbeknownst to me there is a lot of focus on testing our memory in almost every test. Which is boring!

Someday comes on its own

I’ll be there someday,
Like I chose to be here today.
I’ll be with them someday,
Like the ones I am with today.
I’ll have that someday,
Like I had my needs met for the day.
I’ll have achieved someday,
Like the achievements on this day.
Money will come in someday,
Like it flows out everyday.
Love will walk in someday,
Like I am spreading it all day.
I’ll live for someone someday,
Like I live for myself each day.
I’ll be more than me someday,
Like where I’m from yesterday.
It will all make sense someday,
Like yesterday does today.
No clue of when, where, and how?
But someday surely comes…
Unannounced!!

Meant to be.

We make promises.
Bigger than us,
Bigger than love,
It may not seem just.
Yet happens with all of us.
We cling to an idea,
An idea of them.
An idea of there.
Expecting life to be our way.
It might not be the same…
The reality in today.
So be ready for worse,
At least that will help adjust.
But how can we keep up
How can we go on
If we’re clung on to the past?
The time that turned to dust…
Is of no use to us.
And the broken, perhaps…
Wasn’t even meant to last!

Sometimes, quite inexplicably, we just can not get ourselves to see something the way every one else can. Believe me it is only for the time being that you are not able to point out what is stopping you from readily accepting something that others are okay with.

Experiences leave deeper impacts than we can fathom, sometimes it is experience and other times just a hunch but do not doubt yourself that is the easiest but the worst thing to do. Just hold on!

Exams making me miss on these, but rest assured there is plenty going on all good a bit bad I mean life. As it is, it is quite difficult to choose between what you must do and what you really wanna do.

Ask me later how did it go because the only way I know is following my heart. For some unknown reasons the head settles for what is but the heart sets for what could be. And what could be is filled with infinite possibilities.

So however difficult it might seem or get but when you make a choice that makes you feel true to yourself peace automatically sets in and it does wonders.

Do not settle, follow the higher calling that is like a guide inside you – Insach
