QUOTES ON LIFE



“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” Dr. Seuss


“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”

Robert Frost 

"Quotes", they always fill up people's status on FB & Twitter, fill up our in-boxes morning and night followed by a Good morning or Goodnight,  make us think and search about its meaning in our brains and most commonly relates to certain experiences that we have had in the past. Yes, these Quotes by famous people writers, philosophers, actors, politicians whoever may it be reflect the incidents and try to define and give a new meaning to the perspectives that we have. Whether  sad or humorous, witty or naughty, plain or classy, these quotes always make us reflect on things we have done, things we will do or we are doing. They help us express ourselves against our grudges and frustrations, happiness and virtues. We even tend to follow them to an extent where from simple lines of wisdom they transform themselves as the defining principles of our lives and characters.

But do we really need to walk on the roads others have trodden, can't we just redefine our lives and create quotes and inspirations on our own. Why do we have to rely on inspirations given by others? Can't we inspire ourselves when we are down? And then we go and say we have a positive attitude even after we have taken that positiveness or rather borrowed that spirit from words and things spoken and done by others. Another thought, what if none of these things were there, then who would have inspired and motivated us???? Thought provoking isn't it?????

The Spring Birthday



Alas here comes the spring!!!! 

April has always been a very special month for in all terms, firstly because the assamese new year begins and you can hear the air filled with sounds of the dhul, pepa and husori and see the orchids blooming in the garden, and secondly its the time for me get older by a year because of my birthday... So ultimately for me the month of April is all about shopping and celebration. I still remember the time when I used to plan my birthday 2 or 3 months prior, make the guests list, what will i wear, what will be the menu, etc all paid and settled by my father.  people even know what kind of gifts you would like and you might get lucky with a doll you have longed for or a some pretty goodies.

But as time passes and we grow up and  the 'big birthday bash' is replaced by a hearty lunch with close friends and cousins in a posh restaurant where by the end of it you arrange everything and you pay the bill, all because you still want to look special. And you also want people to gift you things you really want so you ask your parents, relatives and your partner for the specified item or dress shamelessly, all because you still want to look special. And when you feel that the time is not proper or you get a vibe that you might not be rewarded with your most favorite perfume or the classy pair of sandals that you want, you splurge yourself on the items and treat yourself, all because you want to look special after all!!!!! 


Now what do you call that a blessing or bane!! I never knew growing up could be so boring after all the fantasized dreams we use to see when we were in school that independence will be very exciting and joyful. And now when I'm actually all grown up, fully independent to make my own decisions and throw my own parties it doesn't seem like a fantasy anymore, its just life and the desperate need to survive somehow on the limited resources you have!

But what so ever i don't want to be misinterpreted as a sadist who keeps on whining about the old school mentally about growing up and all, I still love April and the Spring air and of course my birthday. :)
