Everything being new around us, fresh and waiting to be explored. Kicking alive, bundles of surprises waiting to explode.
It need not be any life wrecking incident to make one feel new. Need not be any drastic change that life should bring to feel born new again.
Learning to appreciate simple things in life, to laugh at ourselves for our stupidity, to smile at something beautiful; be it a person or a thought or an incident you witness.
Say "Shame!! shame!!" to yourself when you lose your cool.
Learning to count your blessings, believing that any bad phase too shall pass; its just a passing cloud.
The birds chirp as soon as they wake up, they are happy to see the day. The bees buzz, the flowers bloom all over in its full glory again.
I have always believed that if you have been facing any trouble, it has come to you because you HAVE the strength and capability to solve it and come out strong.
Every moment is a BORN AGAIN moment. Why am I sounding so philosophical?
Today I am Born, Yet Again. :-)
I am so sure that i am the first commenting here..:)
ReplyDeleteSo true..:) But sadly,its difficult at times to be happy when things around u are not so..easier said than done! But there are many times when i feel alive and kicking! For no reason at all..:) :)
yesterday mabbu?
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said Insignia,
ReplyDeleteultimately life is not one big moment
but treasures of small moments.
why waste it.
i loved the bird point. will give a big smile in the morning:)
Thanks and have a wonderful day:)
Madhu,
ReplyDeleteYou are right dear. :-)
I know, its difficult said than done.
But it helps a lot in just thinking "this too shall pass" in difficult times.
Try it :-)
soin?
ReplyDeleteMabba? Pathavaey illa adhichathu. Adhaan polambal :-P
WD,
ReplyDeleteThanks. Very true, life is all about these little things. Just one life, why crib?
Yes, I really wait each morning to hear the cuckoo sing and birds chirping. Brings instant smile :-)
You too have a great day :-)
Thanks I needed that. :-)
ReplyDeleteI feel like that when I am home i sing the song chad chad chanda sohniya tu kar roshnaiyan vekh ke tainu wattan diyan kuch yaddan aiyan oye
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing here is hardly any birds especially where i am now. But i feel like living. Open fields do it.
hey this post is damn good..ya..i will say v r born again every hour..hehe..
ReplyDeleteCongrats! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you.
ReplyDeleteExamples of Birds, Bees and blooming flowers are really good. Reminds us to smile every day and not to lose our cool.
Nice one.
Say "Shame!! shame!!" to yourself when you lose your cool.
ReplyDeleteLearning to count your blessings, believing that any bad phase too shall pass; its just a passing cloud.
I m certain that this philosophy would be enough for you to walk the life.
Let me tell you that the post is indeed well thought, philosophical or otherwise you seems to have picked your lessons early in life.
When every moment is a gift we are being born again and again. Good luck to you.
Hello Insignia,
ReplyDeleteI do not understand why you want to approve a comment before it must be posted on the Blog.
You may have a reason I presume. But why do not you accept what ever opinion others have?If some one dislikes your Blog let them stay out. And if you dislike a comment let it appear and you can rebut the opinion. Well this is my feeling. Ultimately your Blog and you are free to decide.
If we didn't know what sadness is, we wouldn't have known how to appreciate happiness. Yeah, I've had my share of those "born-again" moments in life especially when I'm amidst nature - by the beach, gentle streams, greenery all around...and of course loved ones who can bring the smile on, no matter what is weighing on your mind!
ReplyDeleteGautam,
ReplyDelete:-) Hope it helped
Bikram,
ReplyDeletePoor thing!! You dont have any birds? Aww...I feel blessed to wake up every morning hearing their sweet songs.
Ramesh,
ReplyDeleteThank you. :-) I agree, I would say every moment!
Makk,
ReplyDelete:-)
Naidu sir,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your wishes. Gautam told you I guess :-)
Yeah, we are humans after all, such reminder is needed for us
:-)
anil,
ReplyDeleteThese things seem to be trivial but much enough to boost your self; to tread the path of life. And life has taught me so.
I did not think much to write this, nor would I term it philosophical, may be for others yes. Not for me. These are few of the things life has taught me quite early. Its taught me much more! and I am blessed to have learnt these pretty early :-)
Thanks much
anil,
ReplyDeleteGlad you asked regarding the comment moderation. Better to ask than keeping within and assuming.
Until couple of months back, I did not have any comment moderation. Not even word verification. I used to get so many spams, yet I didnt believe in moderating,
Who am I to moderate reader's views? I am no authority to claim right or wrong. Whatever their views are, good or bag, praise or criticism; I always welcomed it with elan.
There is a strong reason why I had to embrace moderation. It was a hard decision, I fought within me to do this.
Its not that I do not NOT accept opinions/comments against the post or against me. I have never ever rejected comments until now except for 1 occasion when I first started moderating. I have published all and responded to each and every comment I get. I value readers and their opinion a lot.
The reason behind moderating comments was that few people took advantage of my valuing opinions; they started thrashing other readers and throwing brick-bats and mucking up my blog space.
I did request those few not to indulge in brick-bats on my blog space. Happened few times, hence I had to do this.
If you want to know more read this post
http://spice-n-ice.blogspot.com/2010/05/to-my-dear-readers.html
And read the previous post(especially the comments) which made me switch to moderation.

RGB,
ReplyDelete:-) True. Its left to us to recognize those born-again moments. We just are so busy to realize it
After reading this post i can say
ReplyDeleteToday and now I am Born, Yet Again. :-)

"Learning to count your blessings..."
ReplyDeletenew things, "fresh and waiting to be explored..."
"Learning to appreciate simple things in life"
"Learning to count your blessings"
I want to get to the state of mind when I am constantly aware that, "Every moment is a BORN AGAIN moment."
My favorite and the best of the lot, "Say "Shame!! shame!!" to yourself when you lose your cool."
We know these and we talk about it all the time, but when they come when we need the most, the feeling is very very different and special...
:). So very beautifully said :).
ReplyDeleteMirror, mirror, mirror on the wall

ReplyDeleteErr...I had similar situation couple of years back.
I came back from USA after 5 months. The day I went to office after coming back, my desktop there crashed.
I thought I can still survive with laptop. That noon, my laptop crashed as well!!! Imagine my plight!
Anyway, I have missed you and your posts a lot. Write something soon!!
Why am I being philosophical? I have resolved that every year; on my birthday; I will be philosophical. Thats why; keeping up the resolution :-P
Got me? :-P
Hmmm. Philosophy. Make this your forte, Insignia:P.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you born again, btw?
"I have always believed that if you have been facing any trouble, it has come to you because you HAVE the strength and capability to solve it and come out strong."
ReplyDeleteThank you soo much for saying that.. had a tough day ... and I really needed something like that to feel a lil lighter >:D<

ReplyDelete' Count your blessings" I use it very often.
ReplyDeleteI really know what 'born again' means because that is what I feel after my 'migraine attacks'
I have always believed that if you have been facing any trouble, it has come to you because you HAVE the strength and capability to solve it and come out strong.......absolutely right!!!
ReplyDeleteKavi,
ReplyDelete:-) Yup!! You got me :-)
Chandana,
ReplyDeleteI am so so so glad that these few lines helped you cheer up. :-) thats life. Everything happens for a reason, accept it and you will get your due :-)

Samvedna,
ReplyDelete:-) Thank you
Looks like I am not the only person who needed this blog! LOL! "Shame, Shame, what a silly fellow I have been". :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how complicated human beings are and the diversity of emotional problems is just mind boggling... So many people, so many problems... Phew!
ReplyDeleteBut no worries it is all cool!!!!
Loved your thought...wish you have that feeling each day...
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Priya

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot. I do feel like this at least once everyday :-)
I just love this post...
ReplyDeleteWo! What a cool post!! Nice to see the new you today :)

ReplyDeleteIf I understand your msg,one should have a positive attitude,which I agree with you.Incidentally,I was just fired by my wife and I made her read this post.We both seem to be born again now(after reading this post)
Life is complex and so are our capabilities to cope up with it. We indeed start afresh after every bad phase.
ReplyDeleteGautam,
ReplyDeleteI guess for the past 24+ hours, you have been only reading this post again and again and again...:-)
Chill boy! Take care
