Life stays running ahead of Rajdhani…



Kya apke pass do minute hai?

Are you living your life twice the speed of a bullet train? Are you fed up of your so called life’s routine that you have decided to do five day work in just a matter of few hours, that you want to live your whole life in just a decade or so and have no clue whatsoever what next to plan for. Because that is exactly what you are trying to make your life, a complete mess.

Do you want to live the rest of your life like this? If yes, then spare a moment or two out of your busy lives and listen to me for some wisdom. Suno, Suno, Suno…



Okay that was not called for, but on a funnier note (no more jokes ahead, this week’s column is serious). You don’t know me, but I know you all very well. You have planned out your entire life. Born to this world, then twelve years of school, four years of college, a couple more years of further studies and then your dream come true. A nine to five job, sitting in the same chair looking at the same irritating boss of yours Mr. Chadha, for the rest of your life.

Isn’t this which you have always dreamed of? But amidst all this have you lost the way of how to live and live the way you are supposed to live (enough live in a sentence). Have you gone completely insane over life that all you wait for in life is a Sunday? Here is a few tips to live your complete life like a big Sunday.

1.       When life gives you lemon, make lemonade: First and foremost a disclaimer. Please for the sake of world peace, don’t take the literal meaning of this above statement. What it actually means is that life will give you tough times, but the best way to come clean of it is to be optimistic and by adding some sweetness to the bitterness of life.

Sadness and sorrows are part of one’s life, as much as joy and smiling are. A rose is no rose, if it has no thorns surrounding it. The darkness of a candle is unknown, until it is lit. But what is important to learn and remember is that difficult time pass and when it passes, a brighter morning will embrace your doorsteps.

2.       Life is all about living in the breaks: lifetime is a collection and addition of small breaks sewn together to provide a happy ending together. And if you are too busy in life, then live in the little moments that life itself presents you by.

Anyone of you remember the childhood days when we didn’t knew the worth of time, yet we had that worthy satisfaction of living. The forty five minutes bus journey every morning from home to school and then back home, and immediately before that the five minute run from home to the bus stop. And all that while when you were running you had only one thought in mind. Kahin bus miss na ho jaye aaj?

Those lunch break in school where unending gossips and talks were continued over a samosa or Bhindi ki sabzi, which was in your tiffin box. But as we grow old those breaks turn shorter and shorter or so as we think. Truth is, those breaks are still there in our grown up life, all we have to do is see them with clarity. And when we realize the importance of those shorts break in life, it’s then when we understand the importance of life on a bigger scale.

3.       Everything happens for a good cause: As my favorite teacher always says and I quote, ‘God kept things in order, I always tell my young students’. Sometimes in life, things stop making sense, but it doesn’t mean that it is all bad. God never leaves anyone’s life empty. God makes sure of replacing the thing which you have lost with the thing which he has planned long ago.

If you live life as if you want to experience everything in a single lifetime, it’s not going to happen. You have to miss out on a few. There are strings which you have to let go off, in order for better things to happen in life. And be sure of that that good will happen to you if you are patient enough for it. Because good things happen to those who wait for it to happen and not who want it more.

Pawan Sharma was so moved while writing this that he drank twenty glass of lemonade in one go and then had to spent the rest of his day in a bathroom, nature was calling him on his phone. So he planned to take a loo break and live life there.
