Hello to all!
its the 2nd of march of 2012, and i just made my way to office and just had breakfast.. its a beautiful day, a beautiful feeling inside so much so that i can feel it in the depths of me ... i feel the sun is shining upon me ..!
Like always, my mother did brag about my clothes' choices and all,and how i donot care. but i so feel that no matter what one wears, it is the richness of the heart that matters. and also, that it does not even matter what one wears but a smile is for sure the best thing anybody can wear! :)
( by the way i am just 22 and still learning the ways of dressing up and all.. in that transition from a girl to a woman, and all that)
Of late, i had been thinking a lot about the ways of the world and people pleasing skills ( a topic that came through to discussion a few days back at work with a few oh-so-materialistic-brand hungry fellow interns) but the way the latter one is phrased is just so artificial! and for a fact it has never and shall never become a part of me. EVER.
So coming back to where i was, while I made my way to office, i was listening to 943 FM (of my god how much i love this new station called - INTERNATIONAL RADIO) and a song came that me and my cousins used to hear a lot when we were kids, no. teens precisely!
(there were so many artists that i as a kid used to listen to on casettes and every birthday there used to be a demand from papa to but me a new walkman and how in about a year they all used to get worn out or spoilt! these great people were Backstreet Boys, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, oh! Peter Andre, and Enrique Iglesias- a poster of his from his "Addicted" album that me and my sister got free from planet m when we bought his cassette is still there with me in absolutely good shape! .. i was marvelling today in the morning en route at the fact that how the songs of the 90s had an innocence about them.. they used to talk about promises of love, turn around and i will be two steps behind..when "Its my life" by Bon Jovi came, there was a smell of rebel in it and how we loved singing it at the top of our voices .. "That dont impress me much" by Shania Twain made us act like pricey women behind whom were so many guys- oh we loved to think likre that! ;) and FINALLY, the song that me and my sister loved a lot was - HERO By Enrique .. he he .. there is a smile already on my face when i am writitng about it ..and how these songs used to have words like "forever" and "always" and "love you" and starkly different to songs like "now now now" and "tonight"! !! makes me wonder the aspirations and thoughts that seem to signify a casual attitude towards love these days!)
COMING BACK TO WHERE I WAS!! (sorry!!)
This song was "Larger than Life: by Backstreet Boys! and the lyrics came through as-
"all you people cant you see cant you see
how your love is affecting our reality
everytime its down you can make it right
and that makes you larger than life"
as these lines were ringin' through my ears it just made so much sense that no matter how horrible the world is around you, its upto YOU to uphold that humanity in your heart or lose it. i felt to have listened to this song when i was growing up. but the feeling that inside me was- "thats how it has to be, thats how it had to be, thats how i had grown up and this was not how i ended up being".
That its just okay the way you are and if at all, somebody comes along the way and is glad enough to have found you that way, then you can say you've lived it all! and even if not, we ourselves are the greatest treasures, and its just so wonderful to just be alive and breathe and see the sun everyday and smile to all!!
so go ahead, give that "love" that the lyrics just spoke about .. you will see it "affect your reality" amazingly and you will realize that what you could not see, was something beautiful within your own self, and that was something larger >life!
Good Morning to all and do have a great day ahead all of you, each one of you, awesomre people out there! i must get to work now!
