Reading Habits, over the years...

Another World Book Day (Apr 23) has passed, and i remember it from last year when i published this post - https://jusjotted.blogspot.com/2020/04/world-book-day.html. In the last one year, i haven't read any books :( and i was just thinking about my reading habits over the years and how it has been. So decided to jot down few of those from my memory, with no random sequence, for me to come back again here some day and remind myself on how it was...

(The post is yet to be completed. Put down here as a placeholder)

 

Anniversary

a day when we remember or celebrate something important that happened on that day in a previous year

 

You do not deserve me!

"You do not deserve me"

eh... ah? what's that? did i hear it right? was that just an impulse statement? or did the person mean other way - i do not deserve you.

keep wondering on it for a while, tossing around in the bed and finally the clarification arrives - "Yes", i heard it right. "You do not deserve me". ok. well, maybe i deserve this one. Thank you.

 

Free Ride

“let me put my best in all the stuffs I do and I should convince myself before I take up any task”

This is something that i penned down here years back and was supposed to adhere to it. I have always tried for it even though I may not have been successful every time. However times have changed ever since, totally changed.

When you take a back seat in your life, its not easy to get convinced on where you are going, because you are just being taken there and you are no longer on the driving seat. It's tough but what if there is no other choice. You have to just hang on while you are being taken for a ride, after all it is free ride with its own terms and conditions.

Leeches

Beware of those blood sucking 'leeches' in your life.
They suck the happiness out of your life.
They cling to you and do not let you live your life.
You cannot pull them out of your life.
You have to burn them down out of your life.
 

Happy Birthday Alexy!

Another awaited day in 2018, maybe this time we knew a bit more on how things turn out, but still very anxious (it never comes down). Finally, there you are, into the real world and life of ours at 10:17am, on the 12th day of May. Happy birthday dear Alexy!

I may not have been vocal or expressive on how much I love you, but dear, I LOVE YOU no less or no more...

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY my DEAR !

God bless you !

World Laughter Day

Today is World Laughter Day. It takes place on the first Sunday of May of every year. The first celebration was in 1998, in Mumbai and was arranged by Dr. Madan Kataria, founder of the worldwide Laughter Yoga movement.

While laughter is mostly associated with sound and more physical expression and often shared in a social group, Smiles are those gentle and subtle reactions to a happy feeling that you have. It is often shared one to one or with our own self. 

One of those quotes by the all time greatest comedian, Charlie Chaplin - 
“You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.”
And this is what i have felt about smile - 
"A smile can do magic. It can make your heart light and also make hearts melt."

So when have you smiled last? 
Couple of days ago, when these two birthday cards were uncovered from old boxes. These were sent to me long back (one was in 1993) by few of my favorite folks. Suddenly when these popped up unexpectedly, it did make my heart light at least for few moments.

But unfortunately you may not be lucky enough to share a hearty genuine smile with your own self and loved ones always. Lucky are those who can...
