Seize your moment

 I sometimes wonder if Life thinks all of us the species of Dogs instead of Humans. It throws opportunities at us like we throw meat towards our pet dogs. Our dogs however, seize it perfectly. We, life's dogs on the other hand, lose many opportunities life throws at us.        Yesterday, I lost a good opportunity to meet a fairly important person in Marathi film industry. And After thinking for the whole night, today I think it was all my mistake that I failed to seize the moment. I was blaming the guard the whole day yesterday but today, I know it would have been possible with more persistence from me.        We always need to be ready to seize the moment and I was not ready.Sometimes, We simply dont know that it was our moment to seize and we lose the thing. Whenever this whole seizing part comes to my mind, all the moments, opportunities which I have lost in the past come to crowd themselves in my mind.         Its...

The Window Seat

The earliest memory of me travelling to some place in the childhood is of sitting at the window seat in the bus or train. Off all my travel in my childhood, I dont remember the destination or purpose of my travel, neither the person with whom I was travelling{Except my Father, I do remember him travelling with me}.         What I remember is only the pleasure of sitting at the window seat. Winds gushing on my eyes and making them hard to stay open, changing terrains out of the window,smells of trees, factories, roads, trucks loaded with commodities etc. I loved to seat by the window, I love it today too.         But, how can a 10 year old always get a window seat? Well, it was my Father's virtue. He always used to get on the bus or train earlier than the whole remaining people and take a window seat for me. I cant remember even a single time, not even a single time that he is sitting at the window seat and me sitting beside him, NO, he always g...

As you sow, so shall you reap????

We hear this expression a lot in our lives. " As you sow, so shall you reap".    But I have been wondering nowadays, is it realy so? Do we always get what we sow?  How many times it has occured in your life that you sowed "Care" and got ruthless, careless behaviour in return? Thats certainly not the reap we expect.  I have seen people loving unconditionally and getting sheer hate in return, we have seen Nations helping other nations and getting terrorists in return. Its certainly not true in all cases. We just cant say that this statement is universal.      In Human relations, I think, just not sowing a particular expression is important, we need to add a path to the flow of that expression. Just sowing and then waiting for the reap to show up is as good as not sowing anything. The world has always been unfair to many things. And  this poor expession of thoughts, has the same destiny today, to be proven as "partially true". ".
