LEAVE or LIVE?

Life indeed is the most fascinating thing...It has got everything-suspense,drama,laughter,challenges,awe...Its puts us on a voyage where we move on with no inkling at all about what tomorrow holds.If we think about it we realize how absolutely exciting,thrilling and unique our existence is.As many wise men have said we have only one thing in control and that is the present.Live it to the fullest i.e in a fulfilling and happy way.Still most of worry,worry and worry thinking about the future which is so absolutely uncertain!Have plans and goals,work towards them,but dont dwell on them so much so that our present is affected adversely.I have strongly come to believe in the concept of living each day as it comes...we are out in a beautiful world,there is so much to explore,to learn...every nook and corner has wonderful experiences/lessons hidden for us.We should just have the eye to identify them in the process of our normal mundane day to day activities.
One such wonderful experience for me was during my visit to Pune just a few days back.I have been fortunate enough to meet nice people and make good friends in life with whom I spent some good days full of fun and frolic.Mostly people in todays world have evolved into beings who first by default think about their conveniences,work,commitments and priorities and after that they think of accomodating someone else in their hyperactive schedule(exception can be-family n bf/gf).If in such a world you meet someone who on his own accord goes out of his way to help you,he not only fills your heart with compassion and reverence for himself but inspires you to do the same goodness to others if the case arises.Helping or taking time out for someone by not distorting your timetable is no doubt good,but doing so by keeping someone else's needs above yours is divine.
As I was reaching Pune in late morning and planning to stay their with my ex-roomie I was wondering what to do after landing in the railway station.She left for office early morning and would reach home late evening.I had talked to some of my other friends and all expressed jubiliation over my coming to pune but hardly anybody enquired where I would stay or if I was having any problem.It just wouldn't have come into their mind.And myself with the nature of hardly opening my mouth even if I was in a fix was hardly of any help!Then there was this really wonderful bro,dear friend of mine(Kiran Shinde)...first thing he asked where would I stay?At what time was I reaching? Next he straight-away said he would come to pick me up and I dont have to worry.All my tensions evaporated and I was sincerely filled with admiration for him.When I reached Pune he came to station,took me home where I chatted with his mom(she did not know hindi and I did not know marathi but feelings dont need language to be expressesd),freshened up and had tasty lunch prepared by aunty.That dayhe left for office in the evening and I came along as I planned to join my ex-roomie in the office and return with her.I left my luggage in is car.Later he called me and told me he would drop my luggage to my home as he had to go somewhere.My home was really far from his place and yet he had no qualms about all that.He is one unique person who I see is ready to help always and game for any plans or adventures.Proof again I got that day when he came to drop the luggage around 11 p.m all tired from some shopping he had been to and he had to leave for Shimla the next day.Someone pipped in why dont we go for ice-cream,I said he would be tired....but he surprised me saying ofcourse,he wouldn't lose such a chance,lets go.Myself,always ready for outings was nothing but too happy.We all again bundled up things in his car n went for ice-cream party.He filled me with admiration for himself as well as helped me feel how nice it is to be of some help for others and always ready for action.I decided that day the joy he made me feel,come a chance,I would extend to others by going out of my way and spreading happiness.
Life is so short.Days and nights are racing by.Take time out of normal sleep,weep sorry work cycle and engage in different activities.Never know which will become a memorable experience.Real happiness is felt when you be of service to someone (known or unknown).Even an hour or a day is not short enough to leave an impact on someone's mind and change there life and thoughts for better.Dont leave any opportunity....explore,learn,serve....
DONT LEAVE,LIVE!!!!
