Mild reminder: Resolution called Life

Reading, like millions of other people, is my favourite pastime and it can be literature in any form like a magazine, a book, a newspaper or a blog. But writing is an art and you need to earn it. Like a majority of people, I am also bad at putting my thoughts in words and really appreciate those people who can convey their feelings or thoughts by putting them on a piece of paper. As it always happens, we feel to write about something but never really come across a subject to start with and then we drop the idea of writing, crossing ‘the Writing’ off the list of ‘Stuff I am gonna do’. I also dropped the idea of writing a few times but then I thought about the ‘Mild Reminder’, the blog you are about to read, and inspired me to give it a shot. So Here I am, writing my first blog ever, trying to put my thoughts in the words. Hope it makes sense… 
 

Mild reminder: Resolution called Life

Human being is, a hopelessly hopeful ;) animal on the planet earth. With 31st December approaching, he recalls about the past year, the unforgettable moments he got that year, the moments that took his breath away, the happy moments, the disappointments, the achievements, the losses, the ups and the downs and then comes the ‘Wish list’ for the next year. He recalls about the resolutions he made last year and then leaving them on the 2nd week of January itself. He feels bad because he could not show perseverance in following those resolutions. But he has not lost his hopes. He will again make the resolutions next year. He will again decide to go to gym regularly. He will again decide to quit smoking. He will again decide to learn dancing or music. He will be hopelessly hopeful again. But why do we need only 31 December for this moment to realise that he can start again to achieve his target. Let’s start it today. Let’s not wait for another year and then again make resolutions. Let’s start implementing them right away. We all have the busy schedules, the long working days and then the boring weekends spent at home after being tired entire week. We keep thinking that this is the time to put efforts to get a bright future and we will get our chance to enjoy our life later. Of course this is true and but we forget that while we keep rubbing our butts to reach our goals life is still going on. As it is wisely said by John Lennon, ‘Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans.’ Life never pauses for someone to give him a break to enjoy. We need to steal those moments from life. So let’s take out some time for ourselves and start doing the things right now. Let’s start going to gym and build the fitness. Let’s quit smoking or any other bad habits we wanted to get rid of. Let’s go out for treks and hikes and be close to the nature. Let’s take out some time and give it back to the society where we belong. Let’s start learning the things we always wanted to learn, let it be cooking or painting or photography or just praying. Let’s fill our life with the colours we like. Let’s start living our life right this moment and what can be the best suitable time to start than a weekend. So let’s just stop thinking and start doing…    

P.S.: Do not forget to give me feedback about the blog and I would think that it was worth writing this much if each one of you at least try and start doing the things you like, just for you.

“A night to remember”

On 8^th Feb, just in a casual talk with a friend, I got to know about the Bryan ADAMS Live in Concert in Mumbai on 12^th Feb and that they had planned to go for the show. Unfortunately one of my friends got an emergency the day before show and could not attend the show. So I got the chance to get that ticket and attend the show. Though I have heard a few of Bryan Adams famous songs before, I have never been a huge fan of him. So I never thought that I would go for concert of Rock music but it was an opportunity to experience something different. So I decided to go for the show. The show was at 6 but we reached there 1 hour before to get a nice place to sit. To our surprise, there were no chairs to sit. We were supposed to stand for the entire time. We were waiting for almost an hour and I started losing interest. I thought how am I gonna stand there for next 2 hours. Then suddenly the band came to the stage and started with a song from their new album. Suddenly the atmosphere changed and ecstasy started taking over the tiredness. One after another, he started throwing musical shower on us. He enthralled us with the all-time hits like “Cuts like a knife”, “I am ready”, “Back to you”, “Summer of 69”, “Run to you”, “I ll always be there”, “Please forgive me”, “18 till I die” and the list goes on. And we all were almost on the CLOUD 9. Everybody was singing along with him, may be even remembering the sweet memories they had with those songs. I was making my own memories with those songs.

One thing that amazed me the most was that guy, can call him God of Rock, Bryan Adams, 52 year old rock star who performed entire show of 2 hours continuously except small breaks just to drink water. At that age, that man was performing with this much energy and spirit, made me thinks how lethargic we are in our twenties. He made a crowd of 15000 to sweep off their feet. He interacted with the audience very well and even invited one girl to sing with him on stage. I bet that everyone, including me, envied herJ. Bryan Adams was one of the magicians and the other one was the bass guitarist, Norman Fisher. The whole band and the chemistry between them are beyond my criticism. They spellbinded us with the magic of music and we didn’t even realise how fast the time passed and Suddenly 2 hours were over. We made him sing one more song before leaving. Then he took his masterpiece out of the magic box. He played guitar along with mouth organ and sang a song. Truly astonishing.. Hats off to that guy!!We left the place only after making sure that he had officially left the buildingJ.

At that night, that great Canadian rock star introduced me to the World of Rock music. And “Here I am” feeling lucky for myself for attending that magical show or I would not have even understood what have I missed.  

TO BLOG or NOT TO BLOG is the question..
