   Yesterday I was watching this program called "One life to Love" which was very interesting and triggered some interesting questions in my mind... So though of sharing them with you all...

   You know the very name of the program is so meaningful. One life to Love. I was just wondering how many of us must have actually given time for ourselves? Everybody must be loveing themself like crazy, then why not spend sometime and think of what you really like. Think of what really makes you happy... what is it that you really want for your ownself... not your social responsibilites, but you... this rat race of life has made at least me forget of what really pleases me... or for that matter, what is real me... i never had spent even a minute thinking about what I really am, untill this thought struck me... and tell you honestly it gave me immense satisfaction. I just spent a minute, but that set a lot of things clear in front of me.

   That prepared me to align my priorities. and now i have decided to make that as a routine. i will spend at least one minute each day to think of what i had set to do & what i am doing, what i really like to do. i will try and be my actualself for at least a minute everyday... i will try and think of nothing but me for that minute... it has worked for me, for both days & more than anything it gave me a lot of happiness... Try it yourself and let me know if that helps in any way... even though it looks very simple, but it is a very difficult exercise, at times even difficult than board exams... you have to be extremely honest with yourself... it almost gave me a new and fresh life...Smile try it yourself & be prepared to get reformed for better...

    very rightly said, this rat race of life has also given rise ro a lot of hypocracy and superficiality.And life these days reminds me of these lines by W.H Davies :. WHAT is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare?

    I will definately try out what you have suggested in this article.

    you were right.........its a very difficult exercise. But once you're done with it , you feel really good.  totally relieved and stress-free. i think its a feeling close to that of 'moksha'. its helps to know yourself better.
Know me
