Zid Karo Jeene ki, Kyunki Zindagi Bahut Baaki Hain

Well, its been long since I posted anything on the blog. I did have a lot to say but I had lost my vigour, energy and passion to say it or sometimes post it. I don’t know what brought it back but let me try and tell you.

Sometimes life gives you a lot of complications, a set of new challenges, untouched territories and what not. The idea of life is to learn, open up, grow, challenge yourself and grow bigger but somehow the idea gets lost in the entire journey. 

For example, life used to be fun when you started work after college and you would come back from work, go out with your friends or do some fun activity at home or read your fav book or watch a movie long overdue and be content with your life. Slowly, you start thinking that you are working very hard and you need rest when you come home and you shift all of these activities to the weekend or even further (only on vacations). It is few days after then when u don't enjoy your work too much, you want new opportunities or you start getting bored of your current role. 

Basically, its not the boredom of the job or role (other than a few exceptions) but it is the boredom of life. No one comes back really tired from work. When we are really tired, the body indicates need of sleep. We human beings are never too tired, it is just a state of being. It is all in our mind. All we have to do is pick up that 5 minutes of energy to get ready and go out with your friends or do something you like and all boredom evaporates. And you feel refreshed. Even if your day sucks, and you have an evening to look forward to, the day will evaporate really quickly. 

We have all experienced it but we don’t really understand it.

The thing is that when you are active in your life, you will get more active and will feel happy. Tired maybe physically but content. However, when you are too lazy, you will feel low and maybe depressed over the time. I have seen my parents changing with time. They were active people initially but with increasing work, kids and responsibilities, they started being a lil less social, lil less active, sunday afternoons were supposed to be strictly for rest. But they joined a few clubs, made friends, started being active over time, friends pushed them sometimes, sometimes they pushed their friends for maybe a coffee, game of cards or anything that de-stresses them. And in today’s date, sunday is their most active day. At 50, I see them much more active than me, enjoying life like adults at 20-30 do and involved in all sorts of activities. They still work, maybe more to handle than before, they still take care of their kids (mom still calls me everyday) but they are way busier than I am. Busy with work, fun and life. 

I think all you need in life is that 5 min of push to get up and get dressed, rest just happens. 

Go ahead, try it for yourself. Life will become more interesting.
