Don't Try


Too often then not, we come to the realization that we are feeling sad or disappointed or whatever of the like and when we do so, we ever so long then 'try' to be happy. 

After all the quantum jumps that I have in my 'mood' within matter of minutes,  it dawned upon me,  crazy as it may seem at first, not to 'try' to be happy,  just be happy point blank without a reason.

Being Happy without any reason may seem as some lunatic, but in today's ever so realistically 'fake' world, it may be the best choice you could make.

"Trying to be happy" is in itself a negative emotion to think of, influenced by the very philosophy that blogger Mark Manson wrote about in his hit book, because deep down subconsciously you are affirming the fact that you aren't happy right now and you can't be happy in the circumstances, and that you have to try in order to find some situation in which you can be happy.

Impractical as it may seem, when you think of it, when you ask yourself within, 'why am I trying to be happy?'  you'll inevitably burst out for your stupidity that you are 'trying to be happy' and for the gloomy person you were and be happy in real! 

For no matter what point in your life you are in right now, if you have got air in your lungs,  food, water and shelter, all the rudimentary stuff but most of all, despite of all the feuds you have, if you've got people in your life by your side, then you can and very well let go of the gratifying worries that rob us of our joy everyday.
So don't try to be happy,  just be happy as it is. And yes!  You don't need a reason to be happy. 

Instead of trying,  embrace the chaos that you are in all its glory and be happy, not a reason to procrastinate or make excuses but just go through the whole process easily,  happily, content.

Be.  Don't Try.

    Never knew you had such a beautiful combination of your lexicon framed so piously in words. Loved to read it.

    Also, we tend to associate happiness with destination or a person... But happiness is in the journey, it's all around and in us. We just need to feel it.
    Because I think there is no destination other than death... Every other thing is a part of the journey called life.

The Dawn

As we set off for the trip. A trip that my mother and sister were planning  meticulously for quite some time without bringing it to my notice, so as to surprise me, although eventually I did know because they are very poor concealers. I wasn't really looking forward to it as soon as a week after coming home finally,  I had in my mind foreseen a good long stay at my home for quite some time before having a trip, so this trip caught me quite unaware, but we were quite set in and so we embarked. We had our flight to Leh at 4 a.m in the morning and it was probably the first time I didn't sleep the entire night,  after fighting for the much coveted 'window' seat as the sun was about to rise and I had the opportunity to see it from 37000 feet up above & so I pounced upon the opportunity.  The shades of deep violet sky blending and merging in the background into deep black up above, truly at the edge.. A sea of clouds beneath us of all shapes and sizes extending int...

To Start

I can scarcely believe that I'm writing this,  as I finally come out of my tortoise shell of procrastination to finally put down some of my pandemonium in ink! Starting a blog... Some wise person who didn't procrastinate ,once said " starting something is halfway accomplishing it " So much just to console the instant gratification monkey up in my head. I was 11 when my mom handed me a huge book stating that this was to be my diary and that every night before calling it a day,  I must write a page in it. So much for the 11 year old dreamer kid that I was, and so I started journaling ,  page by page,  night by night. From what time I woke up to what I did throughout the day,  more like an account of my activities than thoughts, but obviously I was 11 after all. Even though such books have date printed up on the pages,  i never finished that book, my best guess would be its still somewhere at August. So although for the fact that I didn't write muc...
