Diary of Sarav

Its always wonderful to celebrate your birthday in your own way.  For me its not all about big parties, cakes, gifts and being loud.  Its all about acknowledging that this is my birthday and  I am thankful for being here.  Healthy, fit, a loving family, wonderful friends, good job, a roof over my head and a floor to walk on.   This year, this day came with new direction in life and I don’t remember watching a movie in a cinema watching Pirates of the Caribbean III. If I claim my life is a open book, its not true entirely.  In that case there is nothing to mystify your presence or your life. You have to have some private things to hide and keep it as a secret. That will keep an interest in your life and attract all kinda people. Its all fun isn’t it?

Every year comes and goes and one more added to your age.  You can see the physical changes in you.  Yet you are the same inside, you sill feel like a teenager or a kid or an adult when the situation presents itself. I don’t like the idea of people falsifying their age. Its something I don’t understand and its something people who are insecure will do or whatever reason one can come up with.  I may look younger than my age, it doesn’t mean I should adjust my age based on that myth.  I warn you that the mirror in your home shows little to nothing about you. Often times we give emphasize only for that fraction of what is revealed or what we think is reveled. I simply don’t agree with having my age hanging around 29 forever.

My motto in life is live your life. Every moment is very important.  As I wrote in my poetry earlier "This moment is all I got,  the one which was gone is already spent, remains a memory and the one coming next is a promise, it will remain a promise".  So its very important for me to enjoy the moment and appreciate it.  Don’t you agree with me?   Its always nice to dream about the future and planning for it and all.  But at the same time its very important to cherish the moment which you life and its present.  Why dwell on the past and bet everything on the future?

This year has been a phenomenal year in my life.  I am growing as a human being. I am not perfect at the same time I am not totally a bad person. We all come with flaws and that’s what makes us who we are. Otherwise if we are all too good, it will be such a boring existence.  We need drama in life and not soap opera. New beginnings, new directions and new possibilities.  These are mantra that I believe in and will remain forever.

I recently made myself a promise not getting drawn into drama and become a soap star. There are many who do it professionally so I will leave up to them to do their part, its definitely not for me. Dogs can always bark at the sun, but the sun never barks back. Does it?  The dog will eventually get bored and will stop.  It cant continue forever and let us say the Sun barks back,  the dog will go wilder and wilder.  Its like feeding a wild fire with more air and fuel.  If you just cut of both these things, the fire will be quenched by itself.  This is a promise I will keep along with the other promises I made and I kept successfully.

366 more days to go,  but this day is still young, lovely, bright and spiritual. I will hangout with some dear ones for lunch, dinner, coffee or phone calls.  Since I am so big into living the moment and cherish this,  I am going to finish this one and go make another cup of chai.
