It is just music, isn't it?!

"Main dhoodne ko jab zamane main wafa nikla, 

Arijit Singh in Mauritius

Pata chala kay galat leke main pata nikla"

The one song that has been on repeat constantly from the past few days..The lines above mean:
"When I went in search of loyalty in the world, I found out that I had left in a wrong search"


I love this song so much yet it touches the corner of my heart that I want to forget exists. We all have dark spots in our heart that are empty; empty like the kindness in evil, we have those people in our life that we wish we could forget yet they mean so much or meant so much to us. I was reading an article where the author said "I want to believe that you either love someone, in some way, forever, or you never really loved them at all." I tend to disagree to this because I think we do love someone but then something changes or as my good friend says, people grow, and if any of the two people 'grow', other one perceives it as a change which by human nature isn't liked hence the relationship becomes the bait, however with acceptance and a heart, things can last.

If you have loved someone, you probably know that it is the best feeling in the world and if you have someone who loves you, you know that there is no better feeling than that, even better than being in love but the aftermath of both almost is darkness unlike for those few who find each other and stay there for a long time.When I see a couple truly in love with each other, I feel so happy for them and pray that they stay there because if they don't, the sunset of love is darker than a night!

Anyways music..always a powerful thing isn't it? brings back so many memories!! Yesterday here in Mauritius, Arijit Singh, one of the leading singers of today's era performed. It was an amazing show and truly my touched. Music has the power that no language has. If you haven't had the chance, listen to his songs..AMAZING!!!

I will like to conclude this article with a quote by one of my favorite author's, Khaled Hosseini. This quote is from the book 'And the mountains echoed'. I can only say that there was a time, this was quite true for me but today, it seems all lost...

"I was happy enough to be the vessel into which she poured her stories"

Cheers!
Peace!

Happiness...

Clear blue skies, sun filled bright burning clouds and a cold mild breeze; on a day like this I took a flight into dreams and on a day as this I shall take on back home..

It has been a mixed journey of emotions, feelings and experiences. I haven't come so ahead in future that I can connect the dots yet I see why this trip was necessary for me like all the other ones I have take. I have grown as a person in this past 5 months and I have understood the value of life and things in it better.

The soul residing in us is like a connection between us and our Creator but most of us do not pay attention to what is being communicated but if one does listen, you find out that the answers are there within us; answers to our problems, quests and even our destiny! I have always been a seeker and a listener to my inner voice and trust me, it hasn't betrayed me. Try and listen to yours and see what you find out!!

Most of us aren't unhappy because life has given us pain but because we have failed to light the candle or stir the tea. Stir the tea? Wondering, aren't you? So then let me tell you a story to explain. Don't search for logic but try and grasp the essence...

A man who was about to die was locked in a room with a chair, table, a cup of tea and a spoon. He tried a sip and found that the tea had no sugar and hence started looking around the room for sugar. He laughed at how stupid it was to give someone tea without sugar in it. He died, went to God and complained how even the last thing God had given him, a cup of tea wasn't sweet. God told him 'the sugar was there but you just did not look well and think'. He claimed hes searched every part of the room but could not find the sugar. God asked, 'did you stir the tea?' He said 'no!' God said 'the spoon was there for you to stir the tea. I gave you the tea, even put the sugar but the only thing left was the simplest of them all, to stir!'

All of us complain to that God doesn't give us what we want yet none of us see the limitless blessings He has bestowed upon us. We expect Him to do everything for us, even stir the tea and that is where we fall. A bit of faith, hope, and effort on our part can give us the happiness we seek daily. All we have to do is look within us, find the sugar and stir the tea. Happiness is all around us if we set in pursuit of it!

On this note, I conclude with a couple of lines from my favorite book, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini...

"But you can't swim Hassan!"

"It is a dream, Amir Agha. You can do anything."

Cheers!
Peace!
