Falling in love with imperfections

I live with almost a million problems residing in me. Right from considering scarcity of hair on my scalp to short term memory. When I was a kid, I had issues with almost everything in me. my appearance, my low grades in school, my unorganized small house, my scientist (exceptionally whimsical) father.... the list is really lengthy. while growing up, I realized that no matter whatever I'll do to get rid of things I don't like, I have to accept some facts (like I can't change the grades of my science paper in class 5) and considering those irreversible events, I should learn to move on with utmost positivity. Nothing should stir my inner peace. To practice this attitude for just 10% events which take place in my life, it took me 15 long years and I'm still learning to accept the things the way they are. So far I've not been able to accept the appearance of reptiles (snake, frog, lizards). I still have a complaint against nature about their extremely ugly appearance. :-P

Yet I have started seeing beauty in everything. I now accept every new change (good/bad) in life. I now accept everyone around me, the way they are without being judgmental. Building this attitude taught me to live with almost no complaints and expectations. I really feel happy inside with almost everything happening around me. I now love my father more than anyone else in this world. I love my house and sometimes I edit my pictures to make it look a bit good on social networking sites. :-P

People have truly quoted.. "nothing can be perfect", "Chaand pe bhi daag he (ugly lunar craters on extremely beautiful moon )", "Beauty lies in the eyes".. etc etc.

* I have used 'almost' many times above, just to justify nothing can be perfect, complete, 100% accurate. One has to identify 'perfectness in imperfections', 'completeness in incompleteness' and '100% accuracy in 99.999999% or whatever'.

5 life lessons I learnt from my Dad

People who know me closely are aware of Tom & Jerry kind of relationship between me and my father. Off course no relationship is perfect and me and my papa is best example of that. Fighting, blaming, taunting, arguing, debating and stop talking are common events between us. Our relationship has a Kabhi-Khushi-Kabhi-Gam type of history but as I grew up I started accepting him the way he is and I realized that my papa is a jewel. I can learn several things from him. Its just that I’ve to deal with his quirkiness sometimes. List is long but here I want to share 5 most important things I learnt from him. Accepting simplicity as a lifestyle :- Being born in TV era, as a kid I was also very influenced by the virtual world very far from reality. I had aspirations like having very good clothes and to be richest person on the planet so that I could buy all the luxuries for myself. But I am a transformed person now. I see my papa, he has very minimal necessities for surv...

The Laughing Buddha of SAS-9: Chanaka Sandaruwan Haggalla

Mornings are very difficult for me. I hate to get late and make people wait for me. But unfortunately I cannot overcome my desire of sleeping till the time after which spending a second in bed, can get me late. Today was one such morning and my mood was already offset. I took a backseat in car and guess what happened next? The first thing I noticed was, 'big-bright' smile of Chanaka and all stress of getting late and facing my guide after a bad performance in project evaluation, flew away. Mimansa Shastri with Camera Man Chanaka Sandurvan Haggalla.. :-P Chanaka is a simple person with very less needs and the cheerful smile on his face depicts the contentment in his heart. His attitude of taking care of others and going beyond his limits to see others happy, impresses me the most. His personality lacks " I " and so far I have not been able to find out any trace of selfishness in him. His simplicity is most charming and his minimalist approach towards life, in...

The Unsettling Questions...

Today Kanika came back from her office little early. She made some sandwiches for her dinner and comforted herself on couch in front of the TV. She changed almost all channels but couldn’t find any interesting show to watch. She had some shopping to do but she delayed that on weekend as she was not willing to step out of her home after an exhausting day at work. Playing some songs of her customised playlist, she ate her dinner. While she was having dinner, her phone vibrated many times to give the notification that there might be some whatsapp messages but today Kanika was not interested in chatting with friends. Last two years were very difficult for her and had completely transformed her. She always tried to keep herself more and more busy. Even when she was unwilling to go out and hang out with friends, she did so because she wanted herself to be extremely busy with everything and anything so that her heart could never peep in the past. Inspite of trying very hard to heal herself ...
