At some moment
in life, it seems life has lost its sheen and looks drab and stagnant. To make
the matter worse, it appears to be moving at snail speed - this morbid feeling
come to every one of us. At one time or the other , one is compelled to cogitate on
the significance of life. Life is a chain of innumerable moments, a combination of good
and bad both. Each moment is the grace of god, each moment adds experience to
our life, and each moment is precious and has to be lived and preserved. Moments are the
basis of experience and cannot be repeated. Some precious exceptional moments
are stored and preserved in the memory and that are cherished until the last
breath. Life moves through these small
moments and these small moments weaved together form into time. By adding value to
these moments, life becomes rich and happy. Waiting for an unseen destiny to
change the course of our life is futile and endless. We have to change the
course and master it, and lead a happy content life. Change in life is essential;
life becomes magical and adorable when creativity is blended to these moments.
Small moments with hidden pleasures are at our disposal, all the time. Only
thing is, we have to unveil and explore the moment to find the hidden nuggets.
We have to grab it and make it ours by living that very moment positively and
creatively. Adding value to each moment means adding value to our existence,
which brings meaning to our life. Life has to be lived with dignity, empathy,
compassion, humility, and humor.
Each
moment, each event teaches us how to live beautifully and experience life in
completeness.
All most all events
and activities had ended; the next day was the closing day of the Youth
Festival. Young boys and girls enthusiastically had participated in many events
like drama, singing, skit, painting and so on. As they were to depart the next
day, all students had gathered near the food courts and were having tea and
snacks, and were chatting non-stop. Suddenly it started drizzling, inspired and prompted by
it the boys and girls immediately gathered in a big circle and started dancing and
singing in chorus. The sun, who was watching the drizzle-dance amusingly, disappeared
half halfheartedly as his duty was over, the electric lights were switched on in
the campus, and the drizzle mixed with golden lights created an enchanting
scene .The boys and girls, crazy and carefree, were dancing to the tunes of
drums. To me it seemed the craziest and the happiest movement for them. At that
precious moment, they were completely free and had lost into frenzy. There was
no expectation, nothing to prove, nothing to lose for them, at that moment.
When one is completely free from ambitions, expectations and desires, total
involvement and pleasure are possible. It was a sheer blissful moment for them. One
cannot buy this pleasure for any amount of money. In daily life, a score of
events take place one after another, only we have to free ourselves from our
preoccupations and enjoy the precious moments. As a jury member, I had seen the boys
and girls performing at the festival events, but this was their best
performance. They danced and swayed until midnight, in the drizzle.
