"There are no ordinary moments"
I cant think of a better line to re-start my blog life. I read this line yesterday in a wonderful book... and realised it is so true about my life... in fact most of our lives today... These days when anyone asks me 'Hows life?'- my patent reply is 'Its OK.. same shit different day'.... but nothing could be farther than the truth... Each day brings a new set of experiences... new realisations.. some new awareness.. which i completely ignore and overshadow waiting for that One Big EXCITING thing to happen... i realised that somewhere i am discounting the rest my days in search of a big moment that i may never find.. and even if i do, it will last me for only that- a moment... Exciting is as exciting does... so it is up to me to be aware and realise each moment of my life.. and for me to make it unique....
Another thing that i realised is how the names of my blogs have defined what got written on them... 2 years ago i used to blog quite regularly.. the name of the blog was 'Once upon a time'... and the writings were mostly about past memories... somewhere along the way after the initial enthusiasm the need for writing waned and so did the posts... then i tried reviving it last year by re-doing the look and re-christening it- 'Etre.. To Be'... and then it was just that-- Being... nothing got posted on it... except for a copy-paste post of random forwards once in a ways... there was no charachter, no definition... and then it died.. tired of its own insipid exsitence. Suddenly one day in Jan when i decided to take charge of life once again, and put down some fresh thoughts... i discovered the old blog was gone... disappeared into cyberspace without so much as a bye! for a while i felt sad, but then i realised it was all for the best since all the writings on that blog were memories. and memories need to be let free... so that there can be space to move on ahead... right??? Technology had already erased me of the baggage of my past.
On this new blog, i will write what i feel... at the moment.. on that day... no more random reminiscing unless it has an impact on the present...
VIVANT- to be alive... to feel.. to breathe.. to be aware... that's the reason to look forward to the new day!!!!
