After quite sometime I had a free weekend, stayed at home lazying around watching movies and browsing. I am a type of guy who likes to spend time with myself, don’t know but I had changed a lot in the last year. But then this weekend I had nothing to do and I was at peace with myself with random thoughts crossing the mind.
Lot of times I remembered my home where I would be lazying around in the weekends watching TV, eating and sleeping. Lot of things have changed from then and I wish I can be like that again, waking late in the morning to my moms bed coffee, having hot pongal sambar, watching cricket or news on the TV and having lunch, good sleep in the afternoon and enjoying the evening with snacks. Looking back at those days, I can see how much I miss it but back then it was just another day in life and I dint appreciate much. I think it happens in everything, we don’t appreciate something until we miss it. Most people including me don’t appreciate the present and always long for something or regret the past. I realized it today and I hope I will begin appreciate the present more and live in the present more than the past or the future. But again same question pops my mind in dilemma as I asked in one my previous blog, should one be self satisfied with what one gets? If self satisfied, then how can one improve? I don’t know the answer yet but I think as with everything it should be balance between the two.
Apart from that I had been following Indian Elections for quite sometime now, Indian people have given a clear mandate this time around. I hope Dr. Manmohan Singh and his team can take India to the next level and I can see a change in the way goverment is formed with emphasis on performance and youth. I dont follow or support any party as such but I like to read about leaders and personalities on what they are doing and about their life. I watched an interesting video “The many lives of Sonia Gandhi” in NDTV today, I really admire her for her courage, modesty and on what she has done to the strive the Congress party to the current state. It makes me to think how life can change so easily and how one should move on in life with what he has got.
That’s pretty much for now. Live happy and make others happy : )
