I suppose sometimes it takes getting lost to enjoy the joy
of being found – Tricia Goyer
I am sure you will accept when I say day to day stress full
professional life, family life and the balancing act between them is taking a
very strong toll on each one of us. We all are somewhere somehow lost in the
race of current day that nothing at all makes an appearance in the busy brain
for us to pause and breathe. Now this is how a pessimist thinks!
But then if we really tweak our thoughts a bit isn’t it
evident that if you don’t get lost, there is no chance of being found? Yes call
me optimist or a nut case or a practical head, but it’s a hard fact that neither
you can seize time nor the same things which caught your interest in childhood,
teenage would interest you at present. With preferences, the definition of
happiness change as we grow old and according to me that’s what the beauty of
life is.
A hectic day at office where I am racing with time to catch
up with tons of emails, meetings and struggling to meet the deadly target, I am
literally lost in the world which is no man’s favorite. While in this race a
pop of “Hello” from a dear friend, A little funny spelling mistake in email,
little fight for delegating tasks, secretly reading a funny forward message and
controlling to burst out into laughter are certainly sweet encounters which we
choose to ignore at that point of time
And a day at home which you think is relaxed time but some
souls like me can be restless out there also. I easily lose myself in tidying home,
daily up keep, dreadful weight management, meeting expectations and in setting expectations.
I am sure there are tons of moments like laughing at our own stupidity,
gossiping about things which totally wouldn’t make any difference to anyone, smirk
at the way loved one fall asleep midst an action movie are those wonderful
little things in the due course of day which would have silently passed.
Well a discussion with friends about finding ourselves made
me put across these thoughts here. All or most of us do various things to find
ourselves, to find an escape out of our stressful life. But then if you just
pause for a minute close your eyes I am sure you will see that all that was
lost will be found again. Meaning, when you try to find your selves it will be
actually found only in those moments in which you lost yourself.
Now I will wait to hear from you that how wonderful it is when you lost yourselves in something and eventually ended up finding yourselves there!

Trikaala Satya :) Nicely written.. "Na keldudu enu? padedudu enu? kaledu padeyuva, padedu kaleyuva, padedaddannu koodi kaleyuva aatave jeevana" alve?
We hardly change.The child in us,the teen age we loved,the young womanhood we cherish all remain there concealed and seemingly lost amid the hurry burry of daily life.It just needs a spark to come out like an innocuous remark,a friendly pat,a tiny hug,a hi from friend or a visit to parent's home.
The memories are not lost but just retrieved. Nicely written

A sweet post indeed Ramya! Self discovery is an ever going process, but the key to happiness lies in living in the moment without getting flummoxed with environment around! Though tough, but can be achieved with practice:)
ನಿಜ ಮೇಡಂ,
ಎಲ್ಲೋ ಕಳೆದು ಹೋದ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಇನ್ನೇನೋ ಖಂಡಿತ ಹುಡುಕಿ ಕೊಡುತ್ತದೆ.
ಜೊತೆಗಾರರು, ಸಂಗೀತ, ಬ್ಲಾಗು, ಮುಖ ಪುಟ ಅಥವಾ ಸುತ್ತಾಟ ಇದೇ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತವೆ.
Love the positivity always, Ramya!
