i want to________, if only i had time...

        well, i know a lot many people who had always wanted to be a singer, journalist, or actor but are a manager, doctor or engineer. they say that these are careers and the others (i.e. singing, acting etc.) are vocations, which require a lot of time and effort to practice...not just this, i know people who also want to start writing a blog or reading one, but claim to have no time for it...now, what i feel is that its not time that is lacking, but it is the courage which is lacking...i have a friend who is a very good singer, and comes from a very small place, we studied together in graduation...he once gave his name for the inter-faculty singing competition, but when he went up upon the stage he was not able to sing the song audible enough for the judges to hear and was voted out, while i on the other hand, a bathroom singer, sang the song audible enough for each and everyone to listen and criticize...how can i forget the song, it was the English promotional song for DHOOM (the tata young one)...

          people generally compromise with their lives and then start complaining about the lack of fun, lack of interest and the full fledged reign of monotony in their lives...

          now, my simple question for these people is that- DO YOU EVER ENJOY DOING ANYTHING THAT YOU DON'I WANT TO DO...?

the answer is and always will be-a big NO...

                unless u compromise and start generating interest, or if this is not possible, you start getting indifferent....

              the moment you start doing this, you seize being yourself, you also join the mad race of earning money, and living in the illusion of being happy...
      
                but even then, when at times, you sit in silence reflecting back on your life, you find something missing and start feeling an emptiness in your life...this thought will unrest you and you will again try to balance your thought process by giving arguments like- i own a four wheeler, or i have a house of my own, which is a dream for many others...but you know, somewhere deep in your heart, that you are lying to yourself...

           the same possessions start giving a new feeling and meaning to your life, the very moment you start listening to your heart and start doing what you've always wanted to...an example for this can be the character of aditya (played by farhan akhtar) in rock on, he had so much in life....had a great job which reciprocated well to him in terms of money, had a lavish house and a beautiful wife who loved him a lot...but what he lacked in life was his ability to practice his passion...he went to the extent of deleting every single object that reminded him of his past...i.e. the days when he happily was what he wanted..., but still was not able to rest in peace....but the moment he re-organised his band, the MAGIC worked and he was a happy man....!!!!!!!!
strange, as it may sound, but it was possible because he was happy, content, and overwhelmed with joy, as he was finally pursuing his own path....the path which he left earlier, pretty much un-traversed...

        another kind of people are the ones who are on their own path, i.e. the ones who are practicing their own passion, but are still at unrest....well, the reason for this, according to me is, that they are either being held back by someone whom they love the most and do not want to leave (as no one else can ever stop them), or are lacking courage to explore...now again i will give an example from the movie rock on...the character played by arjun rampal is an example...he did guitar playing, which was his passion, but was still unhappy, reason being, his wife stopped him from doing this as a full fledged occupation and he himself lacked the courage to go and explore...

      this again proves that you don't ever lack time but it is the courage which is lacking...

         the character of aditya (hope I've got the name right), played by shahid kapoor, in jab we met, is an example...he wanted to be a singer, but was forced to join business...and now was not satisfied, because he had no time for music, while the truth was that he lacked the courage to adjust things and put them in the right sequence....but later he realized this, and the result was, that he got time to play guitar and sing in the office, while on the other hand his business was exploring new horizons with every passing day...

        even i was very much at unrest as i was not able to write any new poems or anything else, and was not able to start blogging, reason that i gave was the very same, lack of time, but suddenly, one fine day, i realized that it's not time but the courage that was lacking...and the very day i started my own blog...

        so, this is my own life experience, that if you have the courage you can do whatever you want...

        AFTER ALL EVERYONE HAS THE SAME 24 HOURS...

        THEN WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE...?


 I GUESS...ITS THE COURAGE TO TRY AND PURSUE WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO...



have a gr8 time
gud day
