My Happy Place!

There comes a time in everyone’s lives when they get frustrated for nothing. They know they have everything, all is as perfect in their lives as humanly possible and they have nothing to complain about, practically. But there’s still something missing. When life becomes routine, when all one sees is work and sleep and more work and more sleep, a kind of a void fills you up. That happens because you stop paying attention to the little things in life and concentrate only on the things which keep you busy. This way, you lose the bigger picture and your focus becomes narrow. Ironic, isn’t it?

I know this will happen to me more frequently as I grow up. So I made a list. A list of small things which make me smile, make me laugh, make me happy. If ever I start being idiotic, I want to look back on this list and get right back on track.

Seven Types of Hahaha!

T         1. The Fake One

Most annoying, most irritating, most any-other-synonym, this is one laugh which is most popular among the kitty-party aunties. “Your daughter just peed on my new suit! She’s so cute! Hahaha!” No points for guessing that this laughter is applied when you’re actually fuming but can’t do anything to show it. So you just ‘laugh’.

         2. The Silent One

I have a friend who starts laughing when she remembers a joke. And yes, we never get to know when a funny thought is going to come to her mind and she’s going to start laughing in the middle of a serious conversation. More than the unexpected timing, the speciality of this laugh is the sound. The volume, the pitch, the amplitude. This friend I’m talking about? Her laughter is SILENT. She just laughs with her mouth open, eyes closed, her shoulders vibrating. It’s a sight not to be missed.

            3. The Vibrating One (Nothing perverted please)

Well, this one is quite a new discovery for me. Another one of my friends, when she laughs, she vibrates so much that the entire bench vibrates! It’s difficult to not laugh along with her when you’re in class and listening to formation of azo-compounds and suddenly an earthquake hits your bench. Another sight not to be missed. Her shoulders shake with such precise rhythm, I’m not surprised she’s a musician.

        4. The Creepy One

I’m sure everyone knows at least one person who laughs in such a weird manner, it looks like he’s having a seizure. It’s funny to watch at times, but sometimes, you’re wondering if you should shake the person and ask, “Hello, are you okay? Do you need a glass of water, should I call the doctor?” And then there's the 'speed-breaker' kinds in which you desperately want the person to stop for a moment and take a breath before launching another fit of laughter.

        5. The Shy One

I would like to tell the followers of this type of laughter, please don’t laugh as if you’re doing laughter a favour! Are you embarrassed of the best part that makes you YOU? Sure, people might see you and maybe laugh. But how is that a bad thing? You’re spreading happiness! So lose the inhibitions and that hand from in front of your mouth and LAUGH!!

6    6. The Loud One

Sometimes you hear someone laughing and wonder, “what is so damn funny?” Yes, you feel out of place not being included in the joke. But sometimes a loud laugh can really trigger your own laugh and then there’s no stopping from letting those lips carve and those teeth glow! Loud laughs are usually practiced by those who aren’t afraid of the world, who want to draw attention to themselves or who just can’t control their reaction to an epic narration of a situation!

       7.  The Funny One

Sometimes, one’s laughter is funnier than the joke. This is the best type of laughter and not everyone can manage it. Some have this squeaky laughter that when they laugh, you start looking under the bed for mice. Some have a fart-like start to their laughter and some squirt unwanted saliva on others (sometimes this isn’t funny, it’s plain disgusting).

You know which laugh I like best?  The laugh which says “I’m happy and I know it!”

So go on, widen those lips and laugh like there’s no tomorrow!

Who is Most Powerful?

Will I be God

If I control you,

What you are and what you do?

You come out of the womb crying

And there starts my walk

Tick tock, tick tock, around the clock.

My pace is same all my life

But as you grow, you cry

For you think that, for them I stay and for you I fly.

For some I am a curse

For some, a blessing in disguise

Too much or too little? You be wise.

I tip toe in and halt it all

Even though I myself won’t

Some I force to think; some I haunt.

They call me relative

Too fast, too slow

Why do you even have to compare and know?

In this contemplation, someday you’ll wake up

And wish for it all to rewind

And I won’t let that happen; call me unkind.

You were taught to value me,

But did you?

One day, when you need me the most,

I’ll be done with my endless wait

You’ll just give up and call it your fate.

What you don’t realise

Is that I always give you my best

Lessons good or bad, it will always be a quest.

Yes I can change it, change you

But only when I see the need

Can you walk with me, at my speed?

Bow down to me, I am most powerful

But you can be too, want to know how?

Pace with me, respect me and just live in NOW.

Unpredictable, unreal and unseen

Yes, that’s what I mime

Beware, be relieved, here I come, Time.

Some great personalities said somethings (actually they said a lot of things, that's why they're great you see):

“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” 
― Mother Teresa

“Time is what we want most,but what we use worst.” 
― William Penn

“The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.” 
― C.S. Lewis

Time is so important just like Love. Both can't be seen or heard. But unlike Love, Time can't even be felt. It just IS. Some say it's an illusion (ok, Albert Einstein said so) and some say Time is God.
What is Time?
