Life is full of Campa Cola

Life is full of campa cola, ad campaign launched more than 2 decades ago by a cola company to market its beverage
One day my colleague uttered this word in a non-chalant outburst on some offical matter, " Life is full of campa cola". How true the statement that life is full of campa cola, the fun is as long as the fizz is in the bottle. Open the bottle it just goes off. Ever thought the fun of life, the craze is lasting until its explored
When a group of entreprenurs start a company, it starts with so much passion, plans are laid down and full hog efforts are made that goes beyond time check. Every small success is celebrated, every action is appraised. Soon the company grows and then gets stagnated and here we start claiming elephants cant dance
Similar things is witnessed when a couple nurture a relationship, at inception they start wooing each other in every possible best maner, curiosity is high to know each other and are too conscious of every move. As the relationship progresses, the enthusiasm starts falling apart and life becomes a routine function as no further dreams are seen together
This is the importance of fizz in every walk of life, activity or relation. The fizz has to be maintained to keep the things going. It be a long term goal, a vision, a company formation or a relationship, it has to be reinvented & a trigger is needed to give further spikes. Managers have to give new dimensions to their work, couples need to see new dreams and individuals need to sharpen the edges
The taste of campa cola is only in that small bottle. Life is also made up of mutilple bottles and every bottle carries its fizz. Once the fizz is over, the value of bottle is last and we pick up the next one and life goes on. We need to find fizz i.e. reasons to smile. The growth and happiness lies in how fast we cherish the fizz and move to the next ones
Enjoy the moments & the life before it fizzles away... Life is full of campa cola, comes with expiry date and little fizz

Dreams & You

"Dreams are not what we see when sleep, but dreams are things that never let us sleep"
-------
In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man’s proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads.
Don't Let your fire go out,
Spark by irreplaceable spark,
in the hapless swamps of the approximate,
the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.

Don't let the hero in your soul perish,
in lonely frustration for the life you deserved,
but have never been able to reach

Check your road and nature of your battle

The world you deserved can be won,

It exists,

Its real,

Its possible,

Its YOURS.......

Man a happier soul

Ever thought why men are happier than females.
Root of happiness lies in simplicity and not complications. Consistency is the key with this animal, no erratic mood swings, retains the family name. Has a mind that is used to think and doesnt bother heart for it. Loves to forgive and ignores the pitfalls, hates postmortems. Avoids loads of history in relations and is receptive
He finsihes phone call in few minutes and also gets ready in 10 minutes. Doesnt need to bath twice a day or even bath everyday. Doesnt wash face every 30 min and even gets bored with his own face in mirror
Packs a small bag for a week's vacation. One pair of jeans can last for long time. Single pair of shoes is enough for whole year and can repeat shirts every week. Doesnt keep a track of what his friends wore on previous party. Friendship survives the errors or ommisions for not wishing on birthdays. Takes just required time & lesser money to finish monthly shopping. Can manage with teeth without searching nail cutters
Single cupboard is enough to keep all clothes & stuffs and does not hoard packing covers of stuffs purchased. Accepts criticism about himself, family and listens patiently to his partner. Doesnt carry work home and lives in present. Doesnt need to meet friends everyday and flexible with schedules
Eyes do not chase the last glimpse of pals bidding bye. Doesnt cry or think but speaks what runs thru mind. Doesn't have to be pregnant and assertive that sex is healthy fun. Chocolate or icecream is just another sweet stuff. Needs only appropriate time to pronounce words like cute or sweet
Make no mistakes, man is just an animal behaving this way. Over all its too boring the life until he finds gal who loves doing just opposite
Man is like a battery.... needs charging. Females are those batteries, to be happy we got to live with them... its okie if batteries have positive side also :)

Life at Sea

Its morning standing facing the sea. So lound in a silent environs. Waves come and recede and the newer ones keep coming. Every wave shows a sharp move and then signs of exhaustion in trailing ones and the water returns without reaching the feet. Look little farther, the new one is forming and running towards you and actually goes past making even the knees wet. Goes back again in a shell , dies but always back with vigour as the new waves keep forming

Venture deeper, the parallel is easily drawn between the vagaries of wave movement and a human nature. The mind functions in same fashion with the mood swings. Every fresh thing pulls an upbeat wave, mind turns hyperactive and then reaches exhaustion. Soon the wave dies and mind moves in a shell. Life moves on and new waves keep forming keeping it chequered with ups and down

The vagaries go with every man, woman, a kid or any oldy but the personalities are formed based on the manner we approach the waves. The key lies in elongating the upward waves and slowing down the downward ones. A visionary would keep looking for the newer epicenters of waves leading to greener pastures while enjoying the upbeat ride of the exisitng ones

Happy are they who accept the cycle, go up with the trend and not shy of falling with a will to come back with fresh move. Life is like a sea with commotion on the surface and tranquility in depth. Peace comes from wave handling. So next time when the life is dull, look for the traling fresh wave pushing you reach the shores.. its always there near or little farther
