Unknown Kindness

For the last time a stranger girl across the table  smiled at me when I burnt my tongue , For the time I was embraced by a small child in a party , for the last time someone surprised you with their kindness.

There comes a time when I read "kill them with your kindness"

Maybe holding back from anger ,
Maybe stranded across this article of life , maybe amidst heavy rains in the city somewhere some person
comes up with this wide warm open gesture of surprising us with their random ,most unlikely of behaviour .

A lot of times have I been trying to understand how does it just happen sometimes at the blink of our eye.
It does. Randomly,surprisingly and well makes us feel good.

How many times have we been a part of crowd but have we noticed these simple signs of time ?

Let's just think of the random things happening around and deviate ourselves from the hustle of the time .It is sometimes fun filled and happy to know how they happen to be .

YOU and I in this world .

Is there a space to my individualism ?
A myriad of thoughts , reasons , facts, emotions and knowledge .
Every single person , each one us is carrying a self of one's own .The own ,the best ,the very us version of ours !

While a pragmatic approach to life bends us to be not the Very OWN version of ours we should keep bouncing back to the very Own !

Nothing is needed to make something special , you just need to feel it. A background change , a perspective change , a simultaneous change , a hopeful change everything bringing us versions of us astonishes us at times
But being the real US within is the best .

Individuality is not a mask , it is a mark of uniqueness , a lot to be meant therefore.
Are we still pondering to put on our OWN being ? Why !?

Let's be US. 
Not everyone can be YOU .

Living to be Special.

From Bangalore ..... Perspective from my end ! 😀😁


While waking up to and designing ones day , creating one's traits even more stronger and well building one's self. Everything has come to a standby. There are myriad of reasons and examples of meeting up to standards.  Standards built by time and people , across higher authorities and friends. So much to pay back, in the form of duties , responsibilities , debt and knowledge. But there is alot more .

A time to think beyond the scope of this vivid message life is trying to give us :Some thinking and feeling better everyday.

The herd around is getting ahead to reach the standards , not as a formality but with the sands of time . They aren't clueless  about their experience but they all want to achieve the Bigger picture of themselves.

Is not the intended best of us loosing out US in today's time ?
Growth is gradual and self changing process .
Binding one's life with one's aspired life becomes difficult sometimes.
Some understand how to get back with both of it systematically.

While  on the other hand some get confused  and  start adapting to one of them and stay in their comfort zones.

The life you are living and aspiring to be in are two different things. Balance both of them. Do not get used to just one of them , that ways it becomes boring and less challenging.

Goodday readers !😀😉
Lots of enthusiasm out there ! Use it .

Blog @ Kerala (Late update )

What not can I estimate when we are heading for a vacation to my hometown.

A number of things planned to be ticked off the list .My pending movie , the lip smacking snacks I am waiting to hog and so many other things. A number of magnificent churches to explore at the other end. And the list goes on like any other person heading back to their hometown.

Reached my GILGAL Cottage the name of our house at kerala at a very nice time I should say with heat wave towards the north part of India and more , we were blessed with rains all over Kerala. The day we reached , I was rushed to my entrance gate by my dad and he just asked me to look up   ,
Having lived in the concrete jungles of urban cities I could never experience more than a clear sky in my nature when I looked up .That day I saw something completely different and rare. . I had never picturised or seen myself honestly a man climbing the coconut tree .

Not a very distinct thing of emphasis but that was the start of the day the thundering sound of the coconut as it fell to the ground from that height.

Many things as unplanned came up including my dentist appointment.
The Wisdom tooth had to be removed and so had to be the regime for eating .I wonder how beautifully God had designed our body to be compatible to soo many situations. The very nature of not chewing brought me to living on liquids plainly.

And tonight I saw the most of the most beautiful beautiful beautiful sight I always fall short in describing , at my dinner table I could see moon peeking from my window. Not a very  promising visual but today I saw a full moon ,
And the day is complete.

With a lot of people , time , unplanned and unexpected trips comes some more in package.
The finer and simpler things don't go in line but sometimes we can demarcate that thin line between them.

An escape to hometown ,
A talk with self
A walk around the greens
A rest time with some fresh air
Seeing the spiral roads and bridges above the quiet backwaters .
I am looking forward to hearing from you all.

This blog didn't have a specific submission to any topic but some things here and there
Hope it has been a good time to read.

Always
Agnes. 😀

BRAVE

Are we enchanted by the undaunting acts of  people around?
Are we ourselves  prepared to know the greater side of self esteem we all have within ourselves when we encounter life's brutal realities ?


Are we BRAVE ?


A casual chat conversation brought up this word brave , and I was determined to write something about it . No matter how difficult the journey be , i have come across people who are well versed with their difficult jobs yet keep doing the same over and over again . The net result is what excites them about the risks they are involved in , the experience they are guaranteed and well the motivation to learn something better. We are all feeble somewhere , we are all weak in some circumstances but at the same time we are all even blessed with a capacity to be Brave . 


Is there any specific characteristic to being brave ? I don't think so . Its all within our minds . We are controlling our thoughts and indeed ourselves. We all love witnessing the heroic acts of individuals in their lives . We end up a movie , a conversation and meeting or whatsoever with the notion that : Oh my ! he somehow did it , they endured the struggle. 



Change is gradual and life offers change at various phases , it's how we keep systematically allow ourselves being brave,which definitely helps in being faithful to a plan destined for our lives.My life altogether has shaped itself in ways i never knew. But being brave in some of it's unpredictable situations has helped and definitely works . Personal affirmation of being brave helps. 
let's put up the hero within all of us and live brave.

IN BETWEEN



At 11:30 I reached the Urja Bhavan , the entrance to the HR department of one of the world's largest company :
SIEMENS .
Somewhere between the exams and assignments life started 
Somewhere between waking up on time and taking power naps 
Responsibility started 
And somewhere between known and unknown experience 
Growth started .


Today was the first day as a part of my project report. Freshness or being new to circumstances sometimes is not always about being excited & delighted but also being planned and doubtful at multiple levels .
Sitting across the cubicle of Mr. Hemant Dighe and the HR head Mr. Satya  of this flagship company
Somewhere in between strong TEA came  to my rescue .


They say originally tea started in China .
Well don't know well about China but the fragrance of' tea leaves' mixed with ginger have come to my rescue !
A rescue from having working on CHANGE .
Change of a daily routine
Change of a schedule in my life
And  so that's the change
Change from tea at home
To one in an office !
Change !
Not always exciting but new
And well that's in between the
Two of us (readers)
You and me .☺


ALWAYS ,

WRITING is my Querencia !

HELLO READERS ! 


I had written long back a blog on ART.
Today I would love to express something that is born out of art
         A writer !
We are all are writers in our own nature , filled with stories known , unknown , to be shared and released. Not all seek this being within and feed it .
But some do and I feel they are the ones who give birth to an art called writing .
Today's blog is all for those who keep asking me what is that makes you write ?
What is the  urging to think about such ideas ? 
What is pushing you to write something like this today , or tomorrow!


It's this fulfilling purpose of one's soul to write that lets him or her to let the words out .




A writer is blessed with an extraordinary eye to LIFE around. Undoubtedly, they are gifted  and are here to spread that one content they are TRUELY aware of.
I came across this beautiful and inspiring movie THE BOOK THIEF adapted from the novel written by Markus Zusak . And there is this scene sequence between Max and Liesel when Liesel is brought to experience how she could express Words by writing . 
She was introduced to writing through these words:





What a wonder it is to have this feeling of writing sometimes I think! Not very Self rewarding but fulfilling  the soul .

The question of life seems to be smooth and active when I participate in this activity called writing .
Psychologists have suggested the miraculous consequences of people writing their feelings out. When depressed , stressed and lonesome take up and write all you feel in a paper. Expressions lie in a writing .and when that grows with an inspiration one gives rise to a hobby called writing .
My journey of writing started precisely when I saw my friend write a poem .I put my efforts to make one.I made up a poem , an 8 liner poem .a short one.
My father was the one who encouraged me to believe this idea of writing .
And then this hobby just grew with time .
That's how I wrote poems ,
And under the persuasion of my coaching professor
During my college I started my blog .I wasn't very sure about anything , but then it happened .

Thankful to you Lord .




Writing has been very satisfying ,
And today's blog is for my met by chance friend : WRITING.



Always
