Practical dreams ? (!)



Realistic or idealistic?
Pragmatic or quixotic?
Optimistic with a pinch of doubt or a pessimistic with a ray of hope!
To accept the change or to be the change?
To try and fail or fail and never try again!
To believe and follow or to live and experience?
A night that has a dawn at its end, or a day that ends in dark...
Happy with what you have or strive for what you haven't!

Can dreams be practical?!

What do you have to say?


P.S.: Some one told me that my posts are extreme in feeling, from too optimistic, sweet and rosy to harsh, sad, and dark. Why such ends with not a moderate between? But isn't life like that too?
Yes or No; no 'maybe' and 'ifs and but', no conditions to apply, no excuses to make.

Happy mid week :) Calvin's always right!

Sound of silence

Words don't always convey, even silence speaks volumes!


I'm sure you would agree to this. Don't you hear the rattle of a hundred ideas, complaints, problems and solutions when you be quiet just for a while? Yes, it is a playground where you wander off. 

No words to express only silence to convey.

Some of us come in terms with it and find a sense of belongingness there, while for some of us it is too daunting.. Then we turn to people, places, music, social networking to curb the silence. Some associate silence with loneliness, while others to creativity.

But it is loud. And there is no escape.

For me, silence has been a teacher. It has taught me that people will come and go, but you are your best company. It taught me to love myself.It made me more observant of the nature and appreciate life's little things. 

As you sit silently at the window waiting for it to rain, you look around, and see nature is doing its work perfectly, yet silently. The little green grass grows, the flowers bloom,the breeze is always around you. The moon silently changes its phases with each new day. The rainbow forms without any hustle with just the right amount of rain and sunshine. 

If we just know how to face this silence!




P.S: We use words to communicate, ever tried tuning into someone's silent mind and feel it? :)

Simply complicated!

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" ~Leonardo da Vinci



In tangled life and tied up emotions, rarely does a breeze of simplicity enter your mind and free it of the web.For moments you realize, this is how it should always be.


Simple. As it is. No dilution, no adulteration, no adding whites to make a tint or blacks to improve the shade. Don't we all love people who be just as they are? Aren't we all in the process to continuously make our life simple? Then why does our little mind have to be a twisted mesh of threads from past and anxious bits of future? This all does sound simply complicated!

Have a child's eye to view the world and a day at a time, to make most of the details in life appear straightforward. 

Simple is beautiful. Simple is without any extra baggage and burden. 

"Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things"~Isaac Newton
