Run-rhythmia

Run that extra mile, run that walk way, run on the treadmill, run where you can! Run! Cause when you can’t you’ll miss it!

Running is the biggest metaphor for living life, it gives you back what you’re ready to put into it. It teaches you to not wait for the end, but to start and to start with courage.

It is one of those very few things that you can do all by yourself. It asks you everyday if you’re ready to be strong or are you going to be a wimp!

Running gives you a rhythm nothing else can. It takes you beyond your estimations of self and throws away all those worn-out beliefs. It teaches us to challenge ourselves, everyday, every mile!

It doesn’t matter where you reach and how fast you reach. What matters is that you’re set on a journey that’ll reach you somewhere and it’ll reach you there at your pace, the pace at which you want to reach and a pace that isn’t forced.

It tells you, that only you have the power to decide how and at what intensity you want to live life with.

Running teaches you to prepare and to trust that the end shall be satisfying. It teaches you that you can go in any direction under your own power. Where ever you reach is what you had planned for and you deserve!

Run faster, run further, run till your lungs let you – for, while you run you take more breaths and live more. Each breath you take while running reminds you that life’s passing by, so live it up as much as you can!

Running inspires you to do more in the short time that we all have, it forces you to face your fears boldly! It gives you the rhythm that you need.

It shows you a miracle that nothing else does, the miracle that you had the courage to start and the miracle that you didn’t care where it ends, the miracle to do your best without worrying where you’ll end up!

Run a little more, run that extra mile, take that extra breath!

To Friends!


A good dinner and some laughter around, some fine light and some cool breeze, a life which brings some people along who lift your soul, motivate your thoughts, build up your energy and help accrue your penchant to be happy…

People who become a part of your life and stay there to never leave; those sidekicks who love you for just who you are and accept you for what you have become …

Who inspire you in more than one way, help you carry on everyday and move along the journey of life, take each day as it comes just by being who they simply are, only the presence of who matters the most no matter what stage you’re at…

Who laugh when you laugh and cry when you cry, who uplift your mood in the worst times and who just listen without questions…

Who pat your back for your goods and support you in getting better at your bads…

To those strangers who come along your way, sometimes unknowingly and become your only place to go to, who become your home and eventually family away from family…

To friends and a lifetime of them all!!

Cheers!

A multitasking job – Life!

Kudos to the lock, the stock and the barrel!

Kudos to each - for surviving every day with energy, enough to see the next, for living life the way it is!

What a super draining out and obnoxiously challenging this issued-by-the-anonymous job is!

Imagine dealing with your goals and desires, your aspirations and dreams, an entirety of could-be’s and should-be’s, a world full of uncertainties and the unknown, living in the present along with the baggage of the past and the curiosity of the future, the loss of people in your lives, roller coasters of emotions and attachments, empathy and sympathy, the drama of relationships and the mannequin it ends up forming, the trauma of expectations from self and others, the burden of fulfilling needs of people you care for, the idea of making a good life for yourself and your children, for wanting to be the best you can at every microscopic stage of your life, for dealing with friends and family and for juggling between so many different worlds you shift from and into, the want of being a successful person and the wish to write your own destiny, the acceptance of unexpected events that occur and oh ! dealing with the need to love and to be loved – and then of course throw in some grocery shopping, laundry, being neat and clean and presentable, sleeping , cooking, eating, concentrating, working the best you can, talking, breathing, yawning, falling sick etc. !!

What a super exhaustive and multiplicative job this can be!!

And each one of us, do this everyday as a routine. We betray ourselves of the pat we all deserve on our backs, the acknowledgement and the appreciation that we seldom show ourselves and expect more from others – a boss, or a spouse, children or parents.

Lets not wait for anybody else to validate this truth of each of our lives. Lets believe it ourselves and pat our backs on the amazing job of living life just the way we all do!

Lets felicitate our survival today and lets all smile just for who we all are!
