u live once …should live tons…

Nothing is eternal, there’s always a transition maybe gradual, but there is. Everything in this world changes gradually even the smallest instance of life changes in due time. Change is always bound to happen, if not for a positive aspect, probably for a negative but no emotions, no living, no moments, no relation can inhibit this. It’s always in our hands to extract something from this changing time maybe good or bad that is left for the mind to decide and we have to be strong enough to have focus and passion and that’s what I have been doing. Extracting as much as I can from this changing time, incessant life, by doing whole lots of things as compared to 3 - 4 years back. Well so on social volunteering front I have just recently joined a chapter of Asha in Stamford. Asha Stamford main focus is at providing education to poor children in some tribal dominated districts in Assam. I used to do some social volunteering with Asha and Pratham in Mumbai also, hence decided until I am here possibly till august I would volunteer in publicity division of Asha for at least 3-4 hours a week. Asha’s this month project is to show a series of three good Hindi movies in a theater during Saturday’s and the funds from it would go for charity. So currently I am running here and there convincing all desi’s, Americans, even clients to attend at least one for this good cause. Posting fliers/emails in all malls, hotels, companies and Indian grain stores. Well what I have found is its more hard to convince an Indian in US to see an Hindi movie … man as if they were born americans… junk...or else they probably know how Hindi movies are …lol…anyways lets see how it goes on. Rest on my work front my projects are going well, we just released phase 1 and results were good and even got appreciated. Rest during weekends I go for boating, tennis, visit some exotic places and view picturesque nature, which is one of my passions, it just gives me an amazing feeling. Rest my studies are also going well and I think I would probably be able to take a date near august. So currently I am extracting lots from my life and I think that’s the perfect way to live, extracting as much from this passing time as one can, making one’s life complete and contented and that’s what is important at the end of the day. My brother quotes “never be in your comfort zone…always thrive for something…cause u live once …should live tons…” and I truly admire this.

My my...this is really a huge dose of a single paragraph. Just try writing in paragraphs(it would fetch u more marks as it is said in school days..haha).
By the ways u r doing a gr8 job, keep it up bravo...this is the real art of living. Most of all, happy for u, as u are contended at the end of day.
Should say - One thing where lenght of our brain wave matches is concern for an underprivilged child in whom i foresee the future of lot many things and people getting associated.

rupreet i would like to ask u, from where the hell do u get the aspiration to write on such a delicate and wonderful topics on life...
i feel ur blog on 'Life in Solitary' is some wat related to this one... however for that matter many would not agree with me...
i agree with u, that we should not waste the precious time and have to learn something or the other from the changing time.. no matter how small thing u learn, it will surely help u lead a wonderful life in future.
Keep blogging on such wonderful topics.

i personally feel that are so many things that every individual wants to do simultaneously in his/her life.
I could think of 4-5 things while I am writing this (uuff, I am confused)..
Some of them we are able to and a few we are not, and thats how life goes...
u can't get everything in life. can u??
However, u should always be on the lookout of an oppurtunity or chance, using which u can realize your dreams/desires.
Life is precious, and every individual should be proud of himself/herself because at that point of time, he/she is the ONE (the owner) who is carrying that life (full of emotions/thoughts) with him, and it is his resposibility/duty to do justice to the beautiful "life".
But there are times in life when u got to compromise on your desires while taking a decision, and all of us do that some time or other. At such a time, we should not get stuck to that desire
(a desire that is practically unachievable) and mourn for the rest of our lives contemplating about the loss or its consequences. As days go by, we discover new desires and dreams within us, and we then crave to be a part of them.
Thats the beauty of life, u never know what is in store for you and that's why nothing is permanent and nothing is as bad as it looks to be.
I think I understand this and RESPECT my life more than I ever did as "MY LIFE" gives me a reason to live.......
