Sing a Song

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone.....

--Green day --'Boulevard of Broken Dreams'

Amazing how there is a song or a poem to describe every feeling or thought..

Considering that i had only my sleek nokia phone with me while commuting in UK, be it for work or pleasure;) i could only seek the company of BBC radio 1 ( most times)..
Every time this song played, i just felt
'Lots to do, Lots to achieve..
By myself, On my own....
Want to be heard, Want to be found..
Happy to be alone, yet, a part of me is looking for company'

This is how i relate to it, although the singer/ writer may have felt something completely different!!

...Sunday Moments...

I have had one of the best Sundays in a very long time..woke up late, read my favourite section of the newspaper i.e. Sunday times Editorials, ate a sumptuous meal, took a nap, got all dressed up for a glitzy dance performance, felt those pre performance jitters where I thought I had forgotten all my dance steps, then actually danced on the tunes of ‘aaj ki raat’ under the starry skies with atleast 20 other couples on a stage perfectly set to enthral an audience of about 2500 people..!!
Enjoyed EVERY possible moment for the sheer pleasure of it!!
Not once did i think about my work( manic monday to be precise) or any other person known to me
Just a co-incidence that the article I read that very morning was about Enjoying the Moment……

I would recommend you read the entire bit coz im just putting up a few snippets
‘We live in a world with so many expectations and so much to accomplish. Financial well being, relationships that work or don’t work, looking good and to be everything society wants us to be…
We are so busy that we are never where we are in that moment.We are doing one task and thinking about the next one. We never take the time to be in the moment and enjoy the moment for just that. We are in our cars, talking on the phone and thinking about the meeting we have later that day…..
Be open to seeing and feeling what is going on around you and really appreciate the moment for whatever if offers. Let the world take care of itself for a while. You don’t always have to fix everything...’

Interesting, isn’t it? Drifted into my dreamland after reading the article. I honestly can appreciate what the author has to say coz I do find myself thinking about tons of things in one moment to the extent of not listening to people at times, stressing every now and then!!
I for one definitely need to work on finding that inner calm and peace!!

Can you remember the last time you laughed whole heartedly? Can you be stuck in a traffic jam for ages and not loose your calm? Have u ever sensed that you are breathing air..or should i say medidate? Do we readily appreciate other people rather than criticize? Can we wake up in the morning and say 'its a brand new day'?
Listen ..Observe..Feel..Think..
No ways should one compromise on work, but can we not spare a little time to indulge in some beautiful and simple things!!

Anycase. While I enjoy this moment writing a blog, I will leave some food for thought..
What do u think Sir Isaac Newton was doing when an apple fell on him? Was he enjoying the moment in its whole? Is it because he enjoyed the moment that Gravity struck him?

We will never know….:)
