Prioritizing things in life

I just read a piece on FB and just cant stop myself from shared it with  you guys.

It is as below:

How true is it what Dalai Lama said about Man... Today, out of curiosity I was just calculating the time that i would be living in different terms. Lets take the average living age of a man to be 80 (which I am sure is gonna get go down in the coming years!!!)..

So, in years it would be off course 80
In terms of months its 960 (yes, ONLY!!!)
In terms of days, its only 29200
In terms of weeks, its only 4160 which is also the no of weekends!!!!!
And we just have 7 lac hours!!!!
I do not even want to calculate it in terms of mins and secs:(

Imagine we have so less time to live and we waste most of it in stress, tension, making money and we just forget to give time to the people we love most, to the things that matters the most to us, to the stuff that makes us happy, to the things that we love doing, to our hobbies... etc etc... Guess, most of us live in the perception that we are mortals, we will never die!!! We live in a hope that @ the end we will have enough time to enjoy... But alas, it happens very rarely... Because by the time you reach to the stage of enjoying life,  your body refuses to cooperate!!!

Yes, making money is necessary for living a comfortable life but then, it should never be done by keeping health on stake... by forgetting about other valuable things in life that matters the most to us!

Keep smiling alwaz... n remember: We only live once... Its just one life that we get... Enjoy it to the fullest...

It all sounds like some gyaan... but believe me, one day everyone realizes this fact... and for many, till the time they realize its too late... Because by then most of their life has already been spent on worthless things!!!

Dear Myntra and Flipkart, thanks for snatching away my freedom!

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”  ―  Charlotte Brontë ,  Jane Eyre I am an avid Shopaholic, a compulsive one! At times, I feel this is some kind of a disorder I am going through. The moment my salary is credited into my account, I start shopping! And within the first week, I am broke, I am left with no bones! And the rest of the month goes in waiting for the next salary! Its like my wallet has a hole. I guess it has... Anyways, boom of the online shopping sites have actually galvanised this disorder, much to my disdain. The moment I get little time in office, at home or for that matter anywhere on this planet, I just open my laptop and start browsing, drooling over the thousands and thousands of pretty shoes, dresses, accessories, just craving to see them in my wardrobe! I just always open these sites with an idea, rather a very clear one of 'window shopping' but then, in the middle I don't know wh...

The transformation of an arranged marriage to a love one!

“If I get married, I want to be very married.”  ― Audrey Hepburn Arranged marriages: Lets look at what wikipedia says about it: Arranged marriage is a type of marital union where the bride and groom are selected by a third party rather than by each other. It was common worldwide until the 18th century. Wait a second, does that say '18th century'. Yes, it indeed does. The world has moved on, and we, Indians are stuck, stuck in between a combat. A fight of deciding where to go, which side to choose and whom to follow: our old traditional culture or the west.  Anyways, arranged marriages still accounts for an overwhelming majority of marriages that happens on our land. Though we do celebrate love, but only in movies and we are doing that since last 4 decades, but when it comes to applying it literally, it suddenly becomes a stigma! Love marriages are still considered a taboo in major parts of our society. Anyways, I am definitely not here to mak...

Can you? Will you?

“People don’t like love, they like that flittery flirty feeling. They don’t love love - love is sacrificial, love is ferocious, it’s not emotive. Our culture doesn’t love love, it loves the idea of love. It wants the emotion without paying anything for it." ―  Matt Chandler Probably this is true and I actually believe in it very strongly. It's not love what people look out for - its jus that infatuation, those butterflies in the stomach, that excitement, that thrill, that desperation, that anticipation. Actually more than half of the love stories meet an unpleasant and terrible end, the moment all this enthusiasm and drama is gone from a relationship. Sad! but true. We no more (not generalizing), have those 'forever' happy afters. We no more have those relationships with the promise of being together for 7 births.  We don't even understand this word we use so frequently, called ‘Love’... its just not an emotion, its just not a feeling. It's beyond t...
