2 do before i die

I bought a book a few weeks ago "2 do before I die"..a cute little book that essentially strives to point to people what they ought to know themselves...things you wanna do before you die.

The way it works is simple, just put down a list of stuff you wanna do before you die! However trivial or impossible it may be . Just write it down. A lot of the things we wanna do don’t seem all that impossible once we write it down and confront it.

Read between the lines of the various stories people have written you’ll find what comes through in each and every one of those stories is that it just doesn't pay to be stressed out and in conflict all the time. The book which is chock full of stories and lists implores us all to work together to bring out the best in us and others...

In short, what I call...a celebration of life.

Life is a sweet thing.. you can do fun little things and you can do fun big things...you can screw up a 1lac PC (aw crap you say? well its still a device and can be repaired. so if you screwed it up, so what? just be careful the next time around) or you can repair a cheap roller-ball computer mouse. you can eyeball a supermodel or you can go and marry the homely girl-next door type..you can treat the entire apartment block to your best dessert...or you can make your friend treat you to the best Movenpick icecream there is.

It is about appreciating the beauty in the dew drop on the leaf of a plant in your front yard. It is in taking a hike up the mountain trail to view the glorious sunset that graces the eastern skies. Holding hands walking by the beach!

Life comes at you with dazzling variety of things to do and see and appreciate and learn from. That usually does not include the amusement parks or cinema halls but it sure can include that drive down the ECR to see nature at its very best.

Life is for all of us to share and enjoy...it is in having a few friends over for a drink, dinner and talk..it is in having the same group of friends go over to a restaurant and become the boisterous center of racket (and by extension center of attention as well :) )

There is more to life than carrying along petty differences and egos. It is not worth your while or my while for us to hold grudges against each other. More importantly it is always worth your while to smile, pass a compliment or just say something nice and make someone's day.

Let us make this world an easier place to be in...one person at a time.
