It is said is the only thing that is constant in life. And the past couple of weeks have been bringing a few changes which have helped me break free from the mundane routine. And it seems like there are going to be some more changes in the weeks to come too. I hope it’s all for good since that is a change that I have been waiting for, for what seems like a long time now.
There is this dialogue in ‘Jab We Met’ which Kareena tells Shahid when they are on the terrace of her house after she runs away from her house. It is something like ‘aage jaake main is pal ko yaad karoongi aur hasoongi’ (or is it ‘hum yaad karenge aur hasenge’? I don’t remember 😕 ) “Live every moment and make it so enjoyable and a memorable one that you will always look back at it fondly without any regrets whatsoever” is what I have been trying hard to practice for the past few weeks. After all, isn’t each and every phase of life a ‘this too shall pass away’ phase? You never know when that constant factor called change will come into play, robbing you of that phase. Of course, I haven’t been all that successful what with some moments turning out to such bad ones that it’s going to take ages to forget those. But still, as the age old adage goes, shouldn’t one try, try and try again till they succeed? 🙂 Here is to life and the many changes it brings with it each and everyday! 🙂
P.S.: ‘thirakkaadha kaaTTu kuLLe’ which am listening to on a loop, seems like an apt song for my current mood for reasons one never can find out since that’s where the magic of the man’s music lies in!!
P.S.1: A comment by naane sometime back is one of the comments in my blog that keeps popping up in my thoughts regularly.
Aparna,
Are there bells ringing in the distance? Is it time for “yaro, yarodi?”
🙂
No! 😐
Living for the moment is a sheer bliss..
I do.
Aparna, with due diligence, I have to agree with R Sathyakumar on the ‘Yaro Yarodi’ scenario 😉 !!! Just kidding.. your post did sound that way though!!!
Change – the word itself seems to denote a beginning of something new and an end of something old rather simultaneously; Much like a new year, now that I think of it. But lets hope that like my current new year which is till now wonderful, change is for the better.
Adios 😉
Change being the only constant thing..hmm..Am somehow reminded of the immortal poem If by Kipling..
Yes, we often pause and look back upon moments gone by with a tinge of nostalgic thought. Nostalgia is a rather queer word – it brings along with it a medley of emotions – reliving the moment, a tinge of inward happiness, sometimes a streak of melancholy and at yet another time a feeling of pleasure at just being able to recollect the incident.

Sundar,
Welcome to my blog!
Rajeev,
There are other things too in life 😛
Sathej,
It indeed does bring along a medley of emotions. So true!
