What am I bringing to the table in my relationship?

Since the last 8 years of blogging, I've been writing posts, poems and letters on - love, romance and relationships. But there is always something new to share about love; cause it's true that love makes life beautiful :)

If I were to start a relationship today, let me tell you what am I bringing to the table:

• Listen to her, understand her, accept her and will value her for who she really is

• Respect her time, space and her decisions in life

• Genuinely love her, care for her and will always give her my true affection

• Honestly appreciate and compliment her for all the good things she does

• She will always have 100% of her freedom and I will never boss her around

• Won't pressure her into anything that she doesn't want to do

• Sense of humour, laughter, playfulness and adventure to keep things upbeat and positive

• Being honest, trustworthy, fidelity, dependable, reliable, committed, loyal and devoted

• Will sing, play music, entertain and cook delicious meals for her

• Will work hard to provide a clean, cosy and comfy home for both of us and our families

• Give her confidence and will help her achieve all her dreams and goals in her life

• Will say prayers to God together with her - praying together as a couple

• Will maintain balance between being predictable and being randomly spontaneous to keep things fresh, engaging and exciting.

• Stick around when things get tough and will be her pillar of strength

• Will remember all her likes and dislikes, her favourite chocolates and pizza toppings

• Will cuddle and read books for her all Sunday afternoon to keep her happy

• Will make regular trips to the beach, cinema, travel on a boat, go for vacation on a cruise to keep her happy

• Passionate in providing physical affection; will be a sensual, attentive lover to lead a healthy, active, monogamous sex life

• Will provide her 100% security - both financially as well as personally

• Will support her in dealing with the complexities, ups and down of life, will make her feel safe and will be her protector

I strongly believe that all of the above lead to a very happy and healthy relationship!! :)

Have a great Sunday!! :)

Cheers!! :)

My definition of a Girl's Beauty...

A beautiful girl is one of the fine arts created by God.

Now tell me how do you measure a girl's beauty? 

A girl's beauty does not lie in the physical shape or figure of her body, not in her fair/tanned skin, not in her long hair, not in her perfect teeth, not in her weight, not in her height, not in her age, not in her slim legs, not in the dresses she wears, not in her name.

A girl's beauty lies in her mind, in her heart, in her soul, in her personality, in her smile, in her laughter, in the way she thinks and in the way she speaks.

What makes a girl beautiful?

Her pure soul and her genuine smile which is a reflection of her soul makes a girl beautiful.

If a girl is reading this post - always remember that you are more than just your body - so focus on your inner happiness and don't worry on wearing make-up and most importantly choose a man who admires your personality, your heart and your soul.

If a guy is reading this post - always remember it doesn't matter if a girl is short or tall, if she has skinny legs or wide hips, what actually matters is what is inside her heart, what is inside her mind, what is inside her soul. Never judge a girl based on her physical body, you gotta learn her for what she truly is. Love her without makeup and understand that every freckle on her skin is beautiful.

Every girl must remember that, "You are the girl that some guy is praying for".

Have a great week!! :)

Cheers!! :)

Meaning of Life...

A meaningful life is not being rich, being popular, being highly educated or being perfect… it is about being real, being humble, being strong and being able to share ourselves and touch the lives of others. - quoted by unknown.

What is the meaning of life?

To laugh often and much; 

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; 

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; 

To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; 

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; 

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded"

- Bessie A. Stanley 

Have a nice evening!! :)

Cheers!! :)

Mortal Consciousness... :)

Have you ever felt stressed? Due to work or exams or relationships?

Well, if you get the understanding of mortal consciousness, you will never feel any pressure from day-to-day life.

Life is too precious to waste in worrying. Life is beautiful and you need to always be happy :)

Check the video below, you will love it:

The below post is an excerpt from - "Of Love and Life" - Juhi Chawla In Conversation with Sadhguru.

Sadhguru's words are thought-provoking, please check them below:

How many moments in a day are you conscious that you’re mortal?

The problem is you are living with an idea that you are immortal. When I say you’re immortal, you’re not actually thinking you’re immortal but you’re not conscious of your mortality.

"If you’re conscious that you are mortal you will stop worrying and would do nothing other than what is absolutely needed for you and everybody around you."

If you just become conscious of this one thing that always you’re conscious that “I’m mortal,” you don’t have to think “I will die today.” We don’t intend, we want to live as far as possible, just you know “One day I will die.” If you’re just conscious of this one thing you will naturally become spiritual.

If you see that you’re mortal, naturally over a period of time every day, every moment if you remind yourself this is a brief life “I am mortal, one day I will end,” you will see turning spiritual.

They would become fantastic. Just do this for two days and see you will become something truly fantastic within yourself just this is all.

Mortality makes you want to know what is the nature of your existence. You really want to know where you came from, where you will go only when it sinks into you all this drama pup – one day it will end but right now you think only others appear in obituary columns.

"If you want to know the value of life just know that it’s a brief happening."

See the time, the time that you spend here as life it’s a very relative experience. If you’re truly joyful and ecstatic, it’s horribly brief, believe me.

But on a particular day if you’re depressed or miserable, one day seems like an endless thing. So, only miserable people have a long life. If you’re a joyful, ecstatic person life is always brief, if you live to be hundred it’s still very brief.

For what possibilities a human being carries, for the immensity of what a human being is – it’s too brief a life. If you’re given hundred years, two hundred years it’s still, still too brief because before you know what’s happening before you explore a few dimensions of life it’ll be over. It’ll be over, okay.

The most important thing that’s happening in your life right now is that - you’re alive, nothing else.

For millions of people somebody who is dear to them did not wake up today. So just check the five or six people around you who mean the world to you - if they all woke up - Wow! It’s a fantastic day.

You woke up and everybody who matters to you around you woke up, is it not fantastic day?

Of all the people who go to bed tonight, not everyone will wake up tomorrow morning and if you wake up tomorrow morning, is it not a fantastic thing? You woke up, you are still alive is it not a great thing?

You need to celebrate and enjoy every moment of your life because life does not wait for you even for a moment.

Remember that your time on this earth is limited, so make the most of it!! :)

Have a great week ahead!! :)

Cheers!! :)

My Laughing Selfies!!! Part 2 :)

This post is a sequel to My Laughing Selfies!!! ;)

My parents reminded me of the laughing selfies which I took in Jan 2015 and that motivated me to capture another set :)

To generate laughter, I watched some hilarious comedy scenes on my laptop.

The photos were captured in my room and I didn't switch ON the light cause there was enough brightness in the evening sky and the beautiful sun rays filtered through the window :)

Click on any image to view as slideshow :)

I encourage you to do the same :) Please capture your laughing selfies and share them with your family, friends, on your blogs or facebook pages or any other social network sites.

Laughter is contagious, so laugh always and spread your joy to everyone around you :)

We are born to be happy and laugh, so make the most of it!!! :) Enjoy life!!! :)

Cheers!! :)

Secret to Ultimate Freedom...

On my birthday last year, I took a resolution, "To live my life without expecting anything from anyone." It was a hard to follow, I broke it a few times but re-assured myself and continued to follow it and now after a year I enjoy the satisfaction and inner bliss I enjoy and that is the reward I got from expecting nothing. :)

Courtesy of all pictures in this post: Internet

Expectation is indeed the root of all heartache - try to give up expectations and your life is pure bliss!! :)

A life without expectations is the secret to ultimate freedom - wonder why?

Well, if you don't expect anything, you are liberated cause you are not worried anymore because your desires don't control you. You are free from the outcome of anything in life - cause you are willing to accept both good or bad equally. That way you will continue to remain in the state of happiness irrespective of whether your desires are getting fulfilled or not.

The moment you stop expecting anything from anyone, your body turns calm and is always at peace. You need not go for a vacation to relax, cause you are always in a state of relaxation. You are no longer frustrated or angry or disappointed or sad because they are the result of expectation and occur when things don’t work as planned.

Benefits include:

• Low stress 
• Happier relationships
• Beautiful inner peace

Do what you have to do as normal in life and leave the rest to God.

You must have noticed that since last year, I've stopped sharing my singing videos here on my blog. I still enjoy singing the same as before and I do sing on most weekends but I can't be bothered to record anything anymore cause I don't worry about sharing it with anybody. I need not impress anyone. I just sing for my own happiness.

Be satisfied with what you have already got. When you get up in the morning, you are able to breathe well and whatever good you are eating is getting digested properly - that should be enough for you, that is the greatest achievement, that is the greatest goal. If your health is great, the rest come next.

The satisfaction that you are existing, this moment you are alive, this moment you are surviving without the support of any device - what else would you need apart from that?  Then, as the next step, you go out and you do whatever you have to do in the outside world.

The real achievement is that you are able to enjoy the most wonderful energies which nature has given us - Air, Water, Fire and Earth. If you have that satisfaction that you have a capable body to enjoy nature's resources, the rest is all a bonus. It is a gift that you are surviving - you need to have that satisfaction first.

Then, yes you can have many other smaller goals to achieve in the material world. Knowing about yourself must be your first desire after that you can have a thousand other desires. Without knowing about yourself, you learn about others, the world around you. So, first start learning about your own self and understand the soul within you.

Coming to my smaller desires - the two dreams of my life were to work for my dream company and meet my soulmate. After gaining years of work experience, I feel confident that I shall have a stable career. The only desire I had was to find a girlfriend and was hoping to meet my soulmate. But I understood that it doesn't work like that, love happens when it has to happen, so I realised there's no point in searching for love, so I let that desire go. I believe God has a plan for my life and when the time is right, I shall meet my girl, until then, I shall enjoy my life and carry on without any expectations.

I was hoping to continue friendship with all the girls whom I had crushes on since childhood. But as I've stopped expecting anything, I told myself that I shouldn't expect even their friendship. I wished them well in my mind and in my prayers and freed them off from my mind. I let them fly away and my heart feels feather light.

After more than 5 years of living in Britain and experiencing the western culture, I realised that marriage is a choice in life and not a necessity. So, I shall only choose it after a long relationship, spending enough time living with the girl, knowing her, understanding her and I shall make a call only if I believe that I could see a future together, else I shall carry on and meet somebody else. Life goes on. Of course I have hand-written letters for my future wife - but that doesn't make marriage an obligation to me. If it happens, let it happen, else, I shall still love and be happy in life - either way is ok.

Live in the present and enjoy each day like a blessing!! :)

Have a great week!! 

Cheers!! :)

Life Lessons...

"Life Lessons..." is a new series of posts through which I am going to share random lessons which I have learned from the experiences in my life. These posts will be a combination of quotes, pictures and my thoughts.

"JAQUES:

All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players:

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts,"

- William Shakespeare, As You Like It, 1600

Life is like a play - we merely go through the stages of our life acting it out. So, worrying is a waste of time. Always be happy and love your life.

And wherever you go, leave a heart print. Remember Maya Angelou's quote?

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Courtesy of all the pictures in this post: Internet

What do you do when you feel sad or down?

You gotta keep going knowing that it will only get better. Look forward to the time you would feel good again and that will help you to stay strong.

Life isn't always easy, it's about being brave. Never waste energy feeling bad about yourself, surround yourself with people whom you want to be with and keep moving foward.

With this philosophy, regardless of your obstacles, you can have a very happy life :)

Be brave to make a choice, take that chance and grab the opportunity to change your life.

Also, how long will you wait for something to happen? 

Never leave it until it is too late. Just do it now and gain the happiness of trying something new.

Life is too short to wait and ponder, good/bad - just go for it and break all the rules!!! Dare to be your true self, be original and be different!!! 

On a concluding note, I'd like to mention about the meteor shower :) Perseid activity started from 9th August and continues through to the 15th of August. Watch the meteor shower tonight and make a wish :)

Well, I don't believe in such superstitions but I encourage making a wish while watching a light streak because the wish will register strongly in your mind and you will eventually be self-motivated to walk in that path and will work to make your wish come true :)

Also, wishes for simple happiness generate loads of positive vibes within your system. Enjoy making silly little wishes on each light streak you see. Some of them hung in the sky like kite tails, with streamers of light. Stare at the clear night sky, you will feel that you are part of the thousands of stars and constellations up there in the universe.

Have a great weekend!!! :)

Cheers!!! :)

Cingulomania...

I've shared my views on hugs in my posts, "Comfort of a hug :)" and "Hugs keep us Alive :)"

This morning, while reading a book, I came across a new word, "Cingulomania". Did you hear about it before?

Cingulomania means - "A strong desire to hold someone in your arms."

Courtesy of all pictures in this post: Internet

Well, let's recollect a few positive points from my past posts on hugs:

Hugs boost our happiness levels as hugging is the fastest way for your body to release Oxytocin into your blood. Oxytocin, also known as the “bonding hormone”, calms your nervous system and boosts positive emotions.

• A comfy hug lowers your blood pressure, especially helpful if you’re feeling anxious.

• A long hug lowers your cortisol (the stress hormone), enabling a higher quality of sleep.

• A bear hug increases your social connections and a sense of belonging.

Here is a hug from me to you, have a great day!! :)

Cheers!! :)
