Loving you...

Like a warm blanket on a cold night

Like a cool breeze on a summer day

Like a sweet melody of a distant flute

Like a joyous laugh from the kids at play

Loving you makes me feel all emotions at once

Loving you makes me want to stay

Loving you makes me believe in magic

Loving you more with each passing day...

Two Fireflies - One Camera

The World's First Selfie (1839)

This is one of the earliest known photographs of a human. A self portrait taken in 1839, it shows a young Robert Cornelius (1809-1893) standing outside his family’s lamp-making shop in Philadelphia.

Freedom to Choose Everyday

Working shouldn't be a compulsion. To work or not to work should be a choice.

There shouldn't be levels of work. Physical labour shouldn't be looked down upon while mental IQ is rewarded more. All kind of work should be equal. A labourer is putting in the same amount of hard work as a creative genius is putting in coming up with the next big idea.

No one should be forced to work just coz they have to earn money to sustain life. That's not what we are here for. We should have a choice to do what we love to do... And not as a job... Oh and you want something in return? Well how about a simple energy exchange?

I wish no one worked for money. I wish the currency never existed. Then we all could do exactly what we felt like doing. If today we felt like doing nothing coz we have what we need, we could just do that. No one would have to be ridiculed for not being smart enough to do something which they don't want to. No one would have to feel pressurised to earn more money in order to survive according to the standards created by the world.

Today I could help someone dig a hole in the ground in exchange of grapes and tomorrow I could help set up a website in exchange of being photographed. How can you measure the two? How can you measure my efforts?

We would have the freedom to choose. I wish we had the freedom to choose everyday.

How do we Forgive Someone?

How many times have you found yourself saying these lines: "I can never ever forgive you for this!" ?? We all have at some points of our lives. In those situation, forgiveness seems to be the most difficult thing to do!

It's because somehow we blame ourselves for the situation we are in. If the person you love betrays you, you feel it was your fault you trusted him/her to begin with. If someone hurts you, you feel that it was your fault you let him/her break your heart.

But you need to forgive yourself first. You do not need to carry the burden of what has happened on your shoulders. Forgive yourself for doing what you feel you did wrong. Only then will you lighten up and feel free to forgive others.

Even after telling yourself, "It's ok. I forgive myself." if you find it difficult to forgive the other person then well, you are holding on to them. Not forgiving them is not really punishing them but stopping you from moving on!

It's true that you may never be able to trust that person again or be friends with that person. But forgiving them will help you to NOT think about them and regret them every moment of your life. It's ok to let go of people from your life. It hurts much less than holding onto them and feeling sad about it the whole time.

To forgive and to forget is something you sometimes absolutely need to do. In this case, forgiving seems much easier than forgetting. We are humans and not robots. We cannot delete memories. But memories do fade out. The moment you stop giving the person you forgave any more importance in your life, your brain automatically pushes the memories right at the back of your mind. 

Forgiving is the the only way to move on by all means. Nothing about that incident or person should stop you from moving forward once you have forgiven. You feel free to live the way you want without having a nagging feeling at the back of your mind. You get to feel good about yourself and about everything else around you. :)

So go and forgive whoever you have been regretting till now. Let them know that they are forgiven. Set them free too! You too will feel much better about it. Take a deep breathe and smile to yourself. :)

5 Simple Steps to Attract your Soulmate

We often get confused between the words Soul-Mate and Twin Flame. You can have more than one Soul Mate in your life. They are your Angels with whom you will always find it easy to connect and be yourself. They enter your life mostly to help you out. Some stay with you forever while some move on once their task is complete. Your Twin Flame is with whom your soul has a deep life-long love affair! So a Soul Mate can come into your life in various different roles - a friend, sibling, parent or lover.

You may or may not bump into your Twin Flame in every life you live but Soul Mates will always surround you. A relationship with a Soul Mate is always very easy. There might be conflicts but even then you feel they can be resolved easily. Somehow there will not be a space for negative feelings in a relationship with your Soul Mate. And even if there are, the amount of positivity you both share will out number those negative emotions.

If you feel like you still are waiting for your Soul Mate to enter your life, then wait no more! Here are 5 simple steps to invite them in! :)

1. Write down how you imagine your ideal mate to be like.
Writing down gives your thoughts a reality. Once you write down or even visualise spending time with your Soulmate, you are putting faith in your wishes. Makes them more concrete and clear. This will also give you clarity about who exactly you will be attracting in your life.

2. Let the Universe know.
Once you are sure about who you want as your Soulmate, let it out to the universe. The universe is always there to fulfill your demands. So don't feel shy about asking the Universe what you expect out of your Soulmate. You may visualise once every day and believe in it. Thank the universe already because you have faith.

3. Love your Soulmate.
So what he/she is not yet in your life? You can still love that person from the bottom of your heart! Love attracts all and most definitely the person who will make you smile like you have never before. So now that you have an idea of the kind of person you want to invite, start giving out a lot of love to him/her. The mere thought of that person would bring a smile on your face.

4. Be aware of coincidents / signs / Deja Vu moments.
Soulmates just happen to you. You might even know the person but have not realised that he/she is your soulmate. Be aware of the patterns and coincidents. Incidents where you both end up doing the same thing unintentionally. Telepathic conversations are very common in these kind of relationships. You may be thinking of him/her and they call! There will be a lot of Deja Vu moments when you are with him/her. Do not over look these signs!

5. Trust your intuition.
When you meet your ideal mate, you will simply know it. You need to trust your guts and pay attention to your intuition. People will start commenting on how good you both are together. Everyone around will start noticing your chemistry and bond. You will start feeling a sense of contentment when you are with that person. Just listen to that voice in you when it says, "This is it. You have found your Soulmate." :)

Soulmates

He became her happiness and she became his smile.

To understand their feelings, it took them a while. 

He held her close and she lay her head .

They hugged for eternity, "I love us too" he said. 

They let the moment pause, smiling at one another.

The Soulmates had finally found each other.

Let's Not Break Bonds Of Love

Never try to create a distance between two people who have immense importance in each other's lives... It's simply cruel to do so and futile too... coz the more you try and create a distance, the closer they get hence making their bond even more strong... You might be left out of the equation altogether but they would never opt out of each other's lives...

You may not understand how much they value each other or the kind of love they share... you might have your own conditioning of how it should and shouldn't be... but once if you could think from an open mind, you would understand that love really doesn't need to be confined in a box or under a label or within rules... It is simply meant to be felt....

Let's keep our hearts innocent just as it was as a child... let's not complicate any further...

That Moment

That moment when you feel comfortable living in the moment... This phase of your life makes you happy... and you want no one to come along and throw some questions at you and ruin your mood.... You feel you are relaxed in just being... You feel you are happy and strong on your own...

And then someone says something... and it triggers a certain fear in you... and you feel like your world is crashing down... crashing hard... and you fall... with an extremely strong heartache... yes when you feel that pain in your heart... literally... and then comes your tears... which refuse to stop... a series of scenarios start playing in your head... you gasp for breath... reaching out to hold on to something.. but find no hand.... what happened? Where did people go?

In times like this you cannot be alone no? You need someone to just hold you tight and let you cry... to just be there... someone whom you can trust on.. and know that they will be there with you no matter what.... even if you commit a crime, they will still be there... yes... that kinda blind trust... you need someone like that in your life... who will love you no matter what... and not only love you from a distance... but also be with you.. be your support... be your pillow.. be your teddy bear.. be your blankie... be your warm cup of coffee.. be your tubs of cold ice cream... be your pajamas... be your comfort food... be your soothing music... be your soft bed... Even if you know everything will be alright... you still need that one person to make you believe in it...
