Choices...

Everything begins with a choice...

There are times when you think you should do something, but you hold back... And when you hold back, at that point of time, you do not realize the impact or the non-impact of the thing that you did not do. But it only after some time, may be a few years, that you start understanding the situation and a possible alternative of what could have been if you would have made the choice you didn't make. I understand that a person has to use his/her heart and / or head depending on the situation. But there should be no holding back. It is now that I realize the impact of the choices that I made or rather the choices that I did not make... And it is not just now that I have started realizing the impact. I have been realizing the impact since quite some time... Maybe, things would have been different. And this applies not just to me, but to others too, for the choices that they made and the choices that they should have made... Alas, it is too late now... the choice has been made and the decision point left too far behind to even look at. The only way now is ahead... Some more steps to take, some more choices to make... Is this another beginning?

Too much to do, but nothing done...

A lovely Sunday... without any care or worry... after a long long time... I had 2 options that lay ahead - visit the Parx Super Car Show (PSCS) at Kalaghoda, 10 am onwards... Or go for a swim (again after a long long time)... Last night I had checked out a website on PSCS and was all the more eager to visit it. But somehow last night itself I decided to go for a swim instead... After all, even if I would have visited PSCS, nobody would have given me a ride in their expensive machines... So a swim would have been a better option any day. However, I forgot one important fact - the fact that I had been sneezing like a dog from Saturday afternoon. When I woke up on Sunday morning, I had a slight cold, because of which I decided to give swimming a miss... not again... Since I had already decided of not going to PSCS and going for a swim, and now decided not to go for a swim, I chose an option very few would have chosen - staying at home and helping out with the cleaning and vacuuming. That too was pending since quite some time. Enthusiastically, I pulled out the vacuum cleaner and its attachments. I removed my tennis and badminton racquets that were kept above my cupboard, dusted the top of my cupboard, dusted my rackets and dusted the other cupboard too in my room... now with the dusting done, I moved on to vacuuming. I plugged in the base unit to the electrical socket. The suction pipe was not yet attached to the unit. I attached the required attachment to reach out to the back of my bed and also under it. All plugged in and set, I decided to connect the attachment to the blower in the base unit. And viola... "we have a situation here"... The connector in the blower gave away... And my dream of vacuuming my home after ages... still remains a dream... I guess it would have been better if I would have visited PSCS instead...

Spiritual Language

To create the future we desire we need a spiritual language; we must speak from the heart and in the language of the soul - a language of trust, faith and higher values, of inner growth, love and listening.

But Not You

Let others lead small lives, but not you.
Let others argue over small things, but not you.
Let others cry over small hurts, but not you.
Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands,
But not you!
