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.

"After climbing a great hill, one finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk has not yet ended." -- Nelson Madela
