tryst with a new age guru...well almost!

That time of the year has gone by, when we drunk on the good fortune of making it past another doomsday prediction promised to make some worthwhile changes in our lives. The resolutions have been made and I’m sure by now broken! So I think it’s a great time to actually make some new ones. A few commandments which are the need of the hour, even though we do not take to being commanded kindly!!! Here’s how I think it should go……………

Thou shalt not judge people

If God wanted us to be same in thought and ideas I really don’t think He would have taken so many pains to shape our personalities. It would have been so much more convenient and time saving to let us be clones of each other! Imagine the scenario we all look the same, think like automatons, agree on everything…..heck it would be perfect right?? Naah I think we’d all die of boredom…. So this year lets try not to judge people by either the choices they make in life, what ideologies they have, what they choose to do and how they go about doing it. We all our entitled to our opinions and may we be given sense to let others be….for better or for worse!!

Thou shalt not be a cynic

Life is beautiful….. it’s precious…..and one day we shall realize its all too fleeting!! We spend half of it learning from our failings and the rest being cynical because we feel it’s such a big bad world out there. Cynicism is just a way of hiding from all that we feel is wrong, our insecurities, our fears…..but I don’t think they are going to go anywhere. Let’s try and face things rather than tip toe around them….. try to give it all we can…. try to treat each year as our last….the Mayans be damned!!!!

Thou shalt not put relationships into slots

On life’s journey we are destined to meet people who change our lives…..we usually walk a while with them, laugh with them and move on. we with our over sized egos and a truckload of expectations put an enormous burden on our relationships. we second guess,over analyze and treat each such relationship as if its an amoeba on a petri dish.Let’s try to not slot each of these relationships under specific pre conceived terms and ruin the beauty.

Thou shalt not regret

Each and every incident in our lives…..good or bad has eventually made us the person that we are. That sounds heavy……aah anyway to continue with that thought…. Regretting things is like doubting the very credibility of all that makes you….YOU!!so lets not waste any more time on regrets....

so here i am sounding more and more like a new age guru......i think i should have another commandment for myself.: Thou shalt not dish out platitudes!!!so long folks!!!
