Lately I have been thinking that you really cannot plan life....
I am a big fan of Oprah Winfrey not just because she made it big against all odds but for the simple reason that over the years I just seem to agree with most of everything that she has to say. Now I am not the kind of person who follows people blindly...I always seem to have an opinion about everything. But Oprah is something else. Anyways I read the following in one of her mails (yeah.. i am a regular visitor to her site and therefore have subscribed for news letters) on spirituality when she was doing this online weekly session of Eckhart Tolle's book " A new earth" :
Allowing the truth of who you are—your spiritual self—to rule your life means you stop the struggle and learn to move with the flow of your life. As Eckhart says in A New Earth, "There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: One With Life. Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance."
Life is the dancer and you are the dance.....that hit me...it summarizes in one simple sentence what I have been experiencing all my life...no matter how hard I tried I have never received anything that I wanted at the time I wanted them, rather i received the exact thing when the time was perfect.....and I have been overlooking this all my life and therefore have been struggling. I know that things will happen to me at their destined time...I should therefore relax and just be the dance and since then I haven't been planning much and am excited about the mysteries this life is waiting to unravel ......
Welcome
Welcome to all who care to read these words and know that by doing so they get connected with me through the moments that are imprinted here.
"When you know who you are and what you stand for, you stand in wisdom."

The beginning
Vow!! I'd completely forgotten that i had created a blog once(for my profession)...but then decided to change everything about it...thaat took sooo long!!...(this is my first time...and it has been a learning exp so far..)
Any ways..so here I am finally back to writing about my every day life...that I remember used to do long long time back....when i was a teenager...u know...i guess every teenager goes through that phase when you have to vent out your everchanging emotions, questions that come up while seeing life with a pair of newly found different coloured lens..
Here i am now a matured woman trying to undrstand and learn from the experiences that life is presenting me with. Some times i feel that nothing has really changed ...then i was a young girl ...everything was new unexplored around me...and now as a mtured woman again life is full of new experiences, surrounding, people etc.....Life is presenting me with newness and hence the urge to write again...to try to state my feelings, understand the meaning of some experiences which when u r experiencing them you are so overwhelmed that you stop thinking...the actual realisations comes later and then I'd like to write about it so that it remains forever ...somewhere safe ...for me to go back and relive those moments.
