Smell the Roses!!

It's evening here in India. And a little while ago, it rained. I can smell the wet mud after the rain showers. It feels like bliss. The birds are chirping all the way to get back to their homes. Also, the distant sounds of vehicles speeding away on the roads and the variant hoots and horns add a rhythmic edge to the atmosphere. In such a lovely weather, sipping hot cup of tea and listening to my most favorite of singers Kishore Kumar's melody "Pal Pal Dil Ke Pass" is like sheer heaven. 

How often do we forget to notice such minute details which indeed are so worthy and which can give us utmost happiness and enjoyment in the very moment by not having to postpone our joy.  It's said that "Live every day such that it's your last". I want to change it to "Live every moment such that it were your last". How true and powerful a statement that is!!  How amazingly wonderful it will be if we can make our every moment count and make it such that we can treasure it and remember it until we die. 

Many a times, I'll be complaining for what I don't have or for what skills I lack, or just anything on the same lines. And some other times I just keep on saying 'I'm bored' , 'I'm feeling lazy', 'I'm sleepy' and so on and so forth. I know, this in turn will make me more bored and lethargic but I don't stop doing it because now all this complaining and ranting stuff has become a habit which is as old as 15 long years or so. This part of my life indeed needs attention, otherwise it may so happen that I may feel it's just my second nature to be like this and I start accepting it. Before it's too late, I wish to change it and I want to do it very very soon. 

Let's stop to smell the roses. We've just one life ( i don't know if there are more), lets make the best of the days that have remained for us, and spend every moment gloriously and happily.
