....Someone was here..

Its ~2:00 - 3:00 am midnight, most of the people in this part of the world around me are sleeping. What keeps me awake at this moment of time, is the silence and peace I experience at this very moment. Although we humans are people's people. But we all like to have our personal time. Where we can compare what is good for us and what is our inspiration.

Today what specifically keeps me awake is not something which is keeping me awake today only..but has caused me to have a couple of sleepless nights in the past weeks as well. However, I tried hard to get away with it and not to write it. But then I decided to let it go , and let it be heard !

This blog is associated to a small tag placed in my Old is Gold 4 wheeler Celica. The tag reads something like this "...Someone was here 05/06/11" ,written on it.Everyday when I read it I smile to myself all alone.

There is a history attached to everything we plan or do either in everyday routine or once in a blue moon. Some times, we don't plan anything and the little neglected moments of our daily life bring so much happiness to us, that we like to cherish these golden moments again and again at the back of our mind in our memories.

It was a beautiful end of the week, started off as a sunny Friday. It happened so, I had to travel around 20+ miles or so, for a site visit. Its a normal routine, since if you live close to the same place. You don't expect anything unexpected or unusual joy nor crazy thoughts. But the trip that Friday has been one of the good trips I ever had . Although its the same road, same routine, same surrounding, same weather. Still everything looked beautiful. They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, that is so true. Its not always the physical beauty of the situation under consideration. For most part its the beauty of your thoughts and imaginations which needs to be considered always. Your positive outlook on life and attitude make things look pretty and perfect.

Yes, you can say I am a nature lover and the place where I went for the visit has greenery all around , lots of space to meditate and save/prolong the life of your eyes by looking at the greenery . But this time it was not the beauty of nature to inspire me, it was Beauty of Companion to accompany me on this visit :). For all the readers , if you did not get my last sentence, in order to explain it I can write pages to explain the same , however I think, still my description would fall short to describe the reality scenario, since I can only fantasize and in reality its more beautiful than fantasy :).

To keep long story short, I ask this to myself ,would it have been the same trip without the companion ?? My simple answer to this is , if there would have been no companion or any other companion . There would have been no need of a blog today and life would have been on its same monotonous track in a lazy fashion . Also,I would not have been waking up or thinking about the whole incident the whole time on and off, and getting a time out to write about it and all.

Last week , I saw a brief documentary, where a neuroscientist explained , whatever you want to do, its already there in your mind 6-7 seconds before it comes out as a random thought in your mind. Or in other words, is free will really free ? Or we all are biased already in our thinking?? We all know how our mind play tricks on us. Sometimes, if I think that it all happened without intention on my side. I might be true or who knows ,may be I always wanted something like this or more ? Since its all about what lies in a mind who knows what he wanted already.

Everyday we do find people around us, we never know how much impression they create on us by being around us. However, if I start describing the feelings we have for such people. It will take another long description and alignment of thoughts. However, for the sake of completeness all I can say is, sometimes we don't know how much precious moments and source of encouragement this companion / friend can give to us, just by being around with their presence for some dull colored humans like me.
If you have read all of the above till now, then finally take it as a food for thought, and think about it," How much inspiration and encouragement you have gotten from a special companion or some one has gotten from you as being a companion"

We all read about fantasies and fairy tales in childhood. As we grow up, we realize the reality and feasibility of all this happening in real life is pretty slim or almost negligible. In a fairy tale scenario, we can have multiple colors of nature either as paintings or snap shot, who inspire us to have all this in real. These snap shots entice us toward natural scenic beauties and we often try to relate the paintings we have seen in a novel or imagined in our mind ,in real life setting as well. For example the sun setting up, far away spreading its orange and yellow smells across the other end of the sky, in the same scene if you include the green pastures or chapel & Cross on one side. Isn't all this ,end up giving a peaceful pure look ?? For the same setting imagine the time, as evening is mating with darkness spreading silence around . In a situation like this you start wondering what is the cycle of life about. Is it just the perpetual cycle of morning and evening or else ??

Music is considered as a food for mind and soul. There is no substitute for Good music which relaxes your brain . Same is the case for a breezy pleasant weather bringing soft drops of rain every now and then. Walking by the lake side or to view it can sting the inner sparks of romanticism in you .

However, to include the human social factor ,all the above description is always incomplete without the touch of a human companion(s) ,great friend and socialization, which is a very crucial part to complete this picture.

For those of us, who are workaholics and lead a 24/7 Urban Living, all the above description is just a myth, wishful thinking or some lines taken from a novel or so. Do things like this really happen in every day life ? Is it really real ?. Like many of us, I also shared the same views that it does not happen in real, which is true as well to some extent. The probability of happening something like this, where you see and experience all your imaginations coming true in a daily routine is really low. How awesome would that be if chances are high ? :D.
They say chance favors the prepared mind. If you think about something you will get it. Like most of us, I used to think about all this experience to be a good vacation stop for my brain only. But now I am witness to have experienced all this lately. :)

Well , I have the good news for you readers as well, its all true. The only down side or delay side to it is, that you never know when exactly it can happen for you to experience all this.
Again emphasizing the quote,"Chance favors the prepared mind" . Without any planning or so, its all natural. The point is, don't consider all these desires in you just as a vacation stop for mind only. Just be prepared !

All you need to do is let chemistry and nature play its part and you enjoy the show. Enjoy it as having a cup of coffee and sitting back comfortably on the couch :) I have been fortunate to have this awesome experience :). And the guarantee for you guys is that, this is way more than to experience a hot cup of coffee in cOLD rain.

ChOcOlAtE fEeLiNg !

You cannot write about a journey unless you go on one. Or you cannot give your opinion about a food unless you taste it. I always wanted to write about it ,but there is already so much in literature and libraries about it What novel addition can I do ? So, before I write anything about it. Let me clarify that this brief write up is nothing but just supporting or verifying the idea which has been explained many many times earlier by great writers, philosophers, poets and authors around the world ,since time immemorial.
This is an inner feeling of happiness and satisfaction, no matter how bad is the situation. Even if you have loads of work to do, but still you feel happy and smile about something when you think about it.
Its not as simple or equivalent as eating a chocolate, it is more than that, perhaps eating a chocolate might be just a short simulated version of one aspect of it. Practically expecting the unexpected happens a lot :) .
If any of you have ever experienced a roller coaster ride, the pleasure feeling which comes to your mind while having free fall or so, however in this case the feeling of pleasure is way too much than that , in fact you cannot compare the two.
All this might sound like a movie story. But the ones who are experiencing all this right now will agree with me for the fact that, its not always a movie story, it is a reality , which can be seen in eyes :)

Water for Elephants !

I feel so young and fresh again ! As I woke up this morning and looked out of the window ,it felt like this is the weather I wanted to have in a long long time. The wind blowing at a constant pace, the green leaves dancing at the rythm of the cool breeze , soft drops of rain falling here and there every now and then. For a moment I felt myself like William Wordsworth waiting for Daffodils to come up into the picture so that I can start writing :D.
It looked as if everything is welcoming and wishing me a great day ahead !

Seeing all this , I started to recall my undergrad days, as being a free bird. In those days,when every one is full of vigor and energy. Big dreams come across our minds and we posses the capability to conquer the world,sky is limit and all.
I miss those days at times.

But today it seemed as if last night before going to bed I entered in some time machine and today I am back in some golden era of the past. I felt like I am back in the game again :). I am again a young lad with same positive outlook on life. So much positive energy inside of me. I feel so thankful and what not. May be in terms of words , I wont be able to express it over here.

Having said all that, deep down I knew the fact and reason for this positive energy. We humans are very tricky..lol . Last night I watched Water for Elephants with a friend . The soundtrack of the movie is still running at the back of mind. The movie started in the month of April and ended in May. May be some one say ,Oh ! the movie is so great , it must have given me so much positive outlooks on life. Not really. Secondly, the reason could be a good weather, that could be true as well. Thirdly , it could be the recall of the past which is making me alive again. Whatever may be reason, I know deep down in my heart, the reason for me, jumping with joy here and there is not the movie. It could be weather but :) its more about the company and companionship you are in, while doing something . For example, if everyone is cooperative,working in a stressful environment might not drain you out but working with a bunch of suckers would do for sure. Bad example I know,but I could not think of a better one while writing this.

Finally readers, a food for thought , always try to be on the look out , what is missing in the scene ? Is it just a movie ,friends or a beautiful weather ? I think the answer to this question could be relative, varying from person to person. However, when we say humans are social animals, I think that would be great hint and answer for what I am trying to say .
