Mindfulness

I love chocolates and I know that I will be happy when I eat it. But don’t know why, When I was a kid I used to save the chocolate for the future. I kept it secure somewhere neatly wrapped up in its cover. For a few days after that, I would open the box and look at it with longing eyes and dream for the day to eat it. The idea of having the chocolate slowly turned from joy to constant pressure of saving it.  That thought of not having chocolate scared me, I tried to save more and more chocolates.  Few of my favourite ones got spoiled even before I eat it and day by day, I lost my willingness to have it.

             Now taking this analogy, think of happiness in your life. We sometimes dream of being happy.  But never allow the luxury of being happy to our self. We keep on saving that for some big event to occur in life.  What if that big event never occur suddenly in a day, and its collection of all the small things we overlook all these days Isn’t it scary? Smile and Be Happy, Celebrate the moment without waiting for the dream of a big event in life.

Moment

Every moment is like a chocolate

Don’t think about finishing it soon,

No worry of not having it later,

Just savor the taste at present!

Chocolaty love story

One day I could not get any individual cab even after trying for 15 minutes. So I decided to take Uber pool. With luck I got a seat in share cab.

There were already few passengers. I was searching for my headphone to kill time. Then I found my love, I wondered how come I didn’t see earlier.

I lowered my voice and mouthed the word ‘sorry’. My love didn’t even seem to mind, so I was glad.

Then We began to talk , me in husky voice and my love just remained silent. Suddenly I hold him tight . Cab stopped to drop. I couldn’t believe, I bend down to say good bye with heavy heart. But people were staring at me, like I am committing a crime . I cursed myself for not taking individual cab. I looked sadly at my love “ I couldn’t even eat dairy milk in peace” and folded the dairy milk and kept it inside. Wrapper also made some incoherent sound in agreement. There it will be waiting for me to take a bite. My chocolaty love 😉 Me and my dairy milk forever and ever after 😀

Chocolate story

Let me explain the difference between the  shame,sorry and regret with the help of a  chocolate story. 

My mom used to buy us chocolates when we were kids.

Mom said “ Wait for your sister to come then you both can eat “

Jumping up and down in excitement , I nodded half heartily. Then mom got busy with her work. Then the debate between my consciousness and stomach started. As always stomach won, I promised my consciousness that I would eat only one chocolate from it, but that one turned to many , until I was staring at the empty wrapper.

Consciousness shouted “ Shame on you , you couldn’t even save the poor chocolates for sometime “

I said in the meek voice to my sister “ I am sorry that I couldn’t wait for you”.

My taste buds were cruelly reminding me the taste of the chocolate , I thought with regret “ I should have saved some for later “

Alas! What’s done is done, I sighed looking at the empty wrapper 🙂
