These moments matter..

To all the people out here, who are no more teenagers like me, I have a question :

  "Have you ever experienced that something/someone which/who used to excite you in any sense, doesn't do so now ?"

If Yes,
     Please scroll till the end.
Else,
     Read my question again and re-think on it.

Just a day or two ago, I came across one of the recommended videos on YouTube that was on "StandUp Comedy for Kids.."
(Yeah I do watch stand up comedy a lot these days).
Guess what, the kings of standup comedy found it really hard to make those kids burst into laughter. Those kings who not only have millions of views or fans but also are a daily dose of laughter times for many of us. They just found it tough WHEN they applied logic and humour mixed with their effort. Surprisingly the kids were just laughing with the senseless initials of the jokes, not the story nor the logic.

This reminded me that kids are simple and it needs only simple things to make them happy. And believe me, we as grown up adults have almost forgotten what "Simple" things feel like in our life anymore..these Simple things don't excite us anymore.

As a kid, just one single photo click with those words "Smile Please" used to be exhilarating. And now loads of selfies are filtered out to find the best one, to post and gain some reactions, approvals from others and then the quotient of happiness is fulfilled only on positive comments.
How strange and complicated a simple process has grown into.. hasn't it..???

But who made this strange thing happen? What did change?
- Answer: We grew up to be a complex beings.

Then, that is How ?
- Answer : Just moment by moment..day by day..year by year..and it continues, everyday, every moment..!!!

Did you realise the crux of it now? Yes, I am asking you.
Did you notice that this moment when you are reading this you are receiving my thoughts and analysing with yours and feed into your brain as what you conclude, which can be an agreement or disagreement.
But yes, this minutes of reading is also that Moment..

Thus, each second we enter people's lives thru Social Media, Books, Interactions and others and we feed ourselves what we interpret as right among all these.
And gradually we attract what we find relevant to our prejudice and make our belief stronger.
For example - I love Poems, write ups, stories etc and thus I have subscribed to sources where these are abundant. I read and see other people's thoughts expressed in words. Sometimes I judge, sometimes I just agree and sometimes I learn from it.
And those were the Moments.

"We are social animals and products of our environment."
   This is a statement that is popular and has been heard many a times.
But a deep thought on it can change the life whole together. Yes, please think it deeply what environment and society you find yourself in.

This point of discussion is here that -
Being Judgemental, with all perceptions that we have fed ourselves, never defines us just and right.  As everyone has their own story and they are the S/Heros in them. And S/Heros are never wrong, we have been taught this from very young age thru stories, movies and advices.

So next time when you come across your this Moment, make sure you have your sensible presence in it. These are the building blocks that eventually reflect You.

Thus, you stand responsible for ur Moments..for yourself..

These Moments matter..
You Matter..

Temporary Chapter

Almost every one has a story to tell, where they were a temporary Chapter in someone's book, never meant to return to or re-read. 

A Temporary Chapter can be easily forgotten as that may not contain a life changing sequence of events, however with its short while presence, the momentarily learning, experience, memories it gives, that stays with us, for a really long time, not to be missed daily, but someday somewhere like a Deja Vu, like the smell of a known fragrance.

We are thankful for the constants in our life, parents, siblings, friends, companions, however we owe some gratitude to all the temporary characters too. 

Remember a bus or train journey being memorable because of a certain person! You might not have met that person again, but the journey you had together became memorable for both of you, and you became temporary chapters in each other's lives.

Remember that kind hearted security guard outside your office who used to greet a warm good morning every working day morning! S/he helped always start the day with a smile.

Life gives us countless encounters. Believers of Karma like to consider them as past connections. Some we count as significant and some insignificantly significant. Looking back, all these years couldn't have been beautiful without these temporary chapters in our lives. Some taught us how to appreciate life, some taught us to find happiness in tiny moments, some taught us to love selflessly, some taught us how it feels to be kind, to be a human being.

Therefore, when you feel you are one temporary chapter in someone's life, be happy acknowledging that fact, if someone is your temporary chapter, appreciate their presence, as these temporary chapters are the little important pieces that shape us without our knowledge throughout our life, which itself is temporary..
