Choices

Day in and out, we make a conscious choice on how to live our lives. Its amazing how we’ll let life slip on by and let the daily routines time grind, taking away the focus on what we really want and what makes us happy. Before u know, years will passed without taking the vacation you've always wanted, gotten the job you've always dreamed of, loved those to our heart's content and spent time with your family and loved ones who mean the most to us.

Whether we realize it or not, everyday we get up we are presented with a menu of choices.

To get up from sleep or continue sleeping 

It's a choice...

To eat or not to eat 

It’s a choice...

To live a life as God intended or change it 

It’s a choice...

To go to work or not

It’s a choice...

To forgive or not to forgive

It’s a choice...

To be happy or sad

It’s a choice...

To let go of the past or stay with past memories

It’s a choice...

To be rich or to be poor

It’s a choice...

To succeed or to fail

It’s a choice...

Are you still single? Aren’t you dating anyone? Then what’s stopping you from finding someone special who will make you laugh, feel special?

It's a choice...

Is your love the same like the one you wanted it to be? If not, why isn't it? After all, you chose to be with this person for the rest of your life.

It's a choice...

Are you stuck in a job that has lost its passion? Y don't u change your job?

Its a choice...

Are you surrounded by selfish friends who are unsupportive and never around when you need them? If so, then why do you call them your friends? Y don't you make new friends?

Its a choice...

And the list goes on.

Why does this happen to us? It happens because of the "CHOICES" we make about how to live our lives. We destroy the essence of a positive and powerful word and give it a negative meaning without even realizing it.

Its never too late for anything in life, so better buck up and change your choices and have fun!!

April 1st - My Birthday

Can you believe I turned 26? I almost cannot. Almost!

After not thinking for years, I finally set myself up for a mission to uncover the actual truth about the April fools Day (My Birthday). After researching (Googling), and analyzing various documents, I finally discovered that there are various roots to this day. One of them is taken from Wikipedia which u can read just below.

“The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, enemies and neighbors, or sending them on fools’ errands, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible.” – Wikipedia

I was wondering how would some one (including me) feel if he/she was born on April 1st. A by-default fool, trademarked by THE God himself. His/Her birthday is like a certificate which says “Certified Fool” and he/she carries it with himself. The most irritating part is that he/she cannot do anything about it.

The person is always scared to socialize with people as he/she fears a very common question may pop up at any moment. “So, whats is your sun sign?”, “BTW, What’s your b’date? Are you an Arian by any chance?”. And the moment he/she tells his b’date, he/she indirectly displays the certificate issued by the highest authority in universe which certifies his distinctive capability. And what follows is laughter, more laughter, more more laughter. The feeling can be compared to a hen who is taken out of the cage at the butcher’s shop and knows that its fate can be sealed at any moment.

Consider this, the person moves into a new office and invites his/her co-workers for his b’day which incidentally falls on April 1st so that he/she can celeberate it with them. When the time arrives, no one comes for the party thinking that its a prank. Imagine the feeling of the b’day guy/gal sitting alone in his decorated house/rented place waiting for the never-to-come guests to arrive. And as this was not enough, when he/she re-invites people explaining that's its not a joke, he/she gets more of the you-think-i-am-a-fool-to-believe-you looks.

Another tragedy happens when people around him get adjusted to the fact that he/she is an April Fool and then no matter what they do, they cannot forget his b’day which adds extra pressure on the guy/gal to in-turn remember everyone's b’day who remember his/her. Just going by statistics here, a normal guy/gal would have around 100 people who would for sure remember his “peculiar” b’date and will call him/her to wish. How on earth you expect him to remember all of them? Human mind is incapable to store such huge information. But any such logical explanation doesn’t serve the purpose when it comes to emotional behavior in society. In the end, the guy/gal might end up getting a “arrogant”/“has-attitude” certificate from some to add to his personality, as if the Certificate from the God himself was not sufficient.

I was just remembering my school days when we all used to celebrate our B'day, we would announce it proudly a week earlier to the entire class about the oncoming auspicious day. And on the auspicious day, we would get ‘sweets’ for everyone irrespective of the fact that they have brought gifts or not. And the whole class very enthusiastically sang a ‘Happy Birthday’ with loud, happy claps and you standing, blushing in the front and whispering a ‘Thank You My friends’ in the end... and then you would get a wet kiss by the teacher on your cheek (which i generally avoided and tactfully wiped off). All in a Happy, happy birthday... no mental math calculation of treat (if any) money or unknown faces asking for ‘treat’.

But alas, good things die early. Now that I am celebrating my ‘auspicious day’ today, I wonder how and why things change. Now it’s more like ‘Happy Birthday (I don’t care), TREAT! (is all that I care about and I can contri any small amount of money for the formal cake and oh yeah I won’t even sing because I am drooling over the cake).

I don’t want a fancy cake with my name in icing. I don’t even want anyone to wish just for the sake of it... all I want are a few wishes that come straight from the heart (and some gifts too! bwahaha) because I need the wishes Ppl! I am growing old and I am not a tad bit happy about it! I had wished I just don’t get up on my birthday and directly wake up on the next day, just skip the 1st! But all wishes never come true, so here am I, fully awake & thinking how to celebrate my Day.

Man, I refuse to grow up.

Anyhow, this is life and thats how it has been for yours truly for past 26 years and I have done well to adjust and make a mark of my own.

Just wanna Thanx to all my Family members, specially my Parents (for their love, care & blessings) & all my loving Friends for their support & care all through these years. Luv u all.

BTW, did I just hear you saying “Happy B’day Shehzad” ? :) (applause) Thank You Thank You

P.S: In case you want to make fun of me, you can reach me @ 9819******. I am also accepting b’day presents in cheques and kind. Emails making fun of me can be sent to shehzadrocks [at] gmail [dot] com.

First Time !!!

First time for anything is very special, be it bestowed to any situation...There can be many instance for first time..few of them can be...

 

Everyday in life we get to witness or experience something new. Some experiences are bitter ones but some are just worth remembering for the life time, or worth being the first time. Moments come, moments go……what are left behind are reminiscences. You can cry or regret remembering those moments or can feel happy that you were part of those moments, thus cherishing them for entire life……

 

Even I believe in welcoming every moment or jiffy in life and esteem its beauty, because I know that the only thing constant in life is changes. What you have today, you might not have tomorrow, so no regrets, no qualms. Just live, laugh, enjoy as if there is no tomorrow… Smile throughout your path of life, holding tight the memories of each first time…THE SPECIAL FIRST TIME.
