Let Go !!!!!
How many times have we heard the phrase'learn to let go'?!!!!
recently learnt the phrase all over gain when I lost my cell phone.I still keep trying my old number to see if someone picks up.I still hope that some gentleman will return it!!
The world rides on hope!!!!
When I really think it over, we all are experts at letting go.
when we step into adolescence,we let go the age of innocence.when we step out from school into the gates of the college,we let go of the shelter that the school provides(though we mistake the shelter of school as college & the indifference of a college as independence)....
When we start looking for work,it is the security that our parents provide that we let go.when we get married , it is the 'I' that we let go.When we are blessed with our first child, we let go of our 'devil may care' attitude & start living for somebody else.
For each time we let go,we are blessed with something else.In adolescence, we are blessed with the first spring of youth.In college, we get the first whiff of independence. In our prfessional lives,we gain the 'justification of our faith in our abilities'.In our married life, we gain a 'we'.with our first child, we geta chance tio relive our childhood.
So, does every'letting go' herald the arrival of something better?
I will know when I replace the lost W700i phone with something else....
Thats the thrill....

I look forward to the few precious moments that I get to spend with you.When we are so caught up in the entries of the appointments in our diary, a few lines of snatched conversations here & there seem to be the highlight of the day.
In an era where everything is designed to make life simple for us, why a simple conversation with a loved one is so hard to manage? Why I cant just pick up the phone & talk to you ?Why I cant speak with you for three uninterrupted minutes? Why I need to cook up excuses to talk to you? Why cant you just speak a few more lines to me? Why cant you just talk to me?Or simply say that you want to talk to me? Why do I have to wait for something important to come up so that I can talk to you?
Why cant I just get to sit next to you for a few minutes & watch the crowd pass us by? Why are we like a crowd who are passing each other by in a busy subway? Why are we like the parallel tracks of a railway line which travel miles together but they meet only to go their separate ways? Why cant we just merge together so that you & I cant differentiate who is who? You say I understand whats in your mind. Then, why cant you understand whats in my mind?I want more of you, but if you cant give me, then let me have more of your time...
