Where are the Hues?
Just realized that this blog is titled Hues of Life and yet the template is a plain and simple white and black. Where are the hues? I find this blog template extremely easy to read and navigate… no dhin chak, simple and to the point. Does it work for a blog titled Hues of Life?
Who am I? I am No One….
Driving mom around, taking her out for lunch… being a son.
Spending time with the wife and kids… being a husband and father.
Guiding the team, striving to meet the targets… being a boss, teacher, employee, learner.
Lending a ear, a shoulder to rely on, dancing and having fun… being a friend.
“I want to be just myself”, “I want to do things my way”, “I want to be me”….
But who am I really? I am no one… no one person. I play different roles and strive to give my best in each role. I can never be just one person. I am always different. But am I? What is the common thread that defines who I really am? Surely there must be a something that defines me.
I no longer struggle to find myself. I am who I am for the person I am with at that time. The truth is in that moment. Rest is all illusion.
Photography – A new craze
I was at Dilli Haat on one of those wintery evenings. We were strolling along the stalls, jostling with the crowds. There was quite some crowd. There were many people with a camera. Now Dilli Haat is a touristy place, even for local Delhiites so I was not too surprised at the cameras in people’s hands. But after walking a little more, I noticed that most people had DSLR cameras. And many had zoom lenses to their cameras. And not everyone was a tourist there. There were people just hanging around for photo opportunities. Now this was no photo walk, it was not a group of people walking together clicking. There were scattered people, many of them, with their big DSLRs around their necks clicking pictures galore. It seems people have been bitten by the photography bug big time.
*Disclaimer: I was carrying my DSLR around too at that time 
What if Today Was the Last Day of Your Life?
Can you really live as though today is your last day to live? What would you do if today was indeed the last day of your life? Most people answer this with doing things they have most wanted to do, or living for themselves. But if you really think hard and truly believe this is your last day of your life, what would you really do?
If today was indeed my last day and I would really be dead tomorrow, I would try to secure the future for my family in whatever little time I had. And then I would thank the people who have played any part in my life, and apologize to people who I might have hurt. Now imagine how wonderful life would be if we were indeed living as though today is the last day of our lives. All we need to do is to thank people who make a difference and apologize to people who we might have hurt. Life is so much more beautiful and peaceful with this attitude.
