ASHIYANA


 Every day is a challenge for those who live all by themselves.Walking up the sometimes rugged,sometimes smooth path does make you stronger.It makes you a dreamer too.Its normal for any human being to desire peace,tranquility and a little bit of happiness.How does one seek that?

If one is blessed to be creative in mind and hands,I guess its easier.A creative mind seeks ways and means of finding happiness in one's own heart,which I call Ashiyana.Heart or Ashiyana,as I call it is your permanent place where no one can intrude.You live with your dreamy thoughts,you can translate your mood on a canvas or paper.

An artist can translate the feeling of neglect into art.Filling colours on an empty white canvas or an empty white paper helps an artist to tide over any negative feelings.The eagerness to create new paintings everyday kindles,the otherwise mundane living into something exciting.

A quiet walk,quiet contemplation,impartial judgement,quiet acceptance of people in their lives,as they are and eventually gratefulness for all the blessings bestowed upon the person makes the person stronger and stronger,day by day.

For all this you need a large and a strong heart.
The tough climb uphill gives you more oxygen,a clearer and a beautiful view and  satisfaction, a sense of achievement.The sweat cleanses you so that you come out clean and happy when you reach the summit.

Expressing oneself through writings is better than verbal expression.Blessed are those who have the ability to express themselves in such a harmless way.




When one realises one's abilities, gratefulness sets in.Stay blessed all those who read my blogs,for its a heart felt expression of my thoughts.

Life,an obstacle race

Image
  Life and water pass through various terrains and overcome obstacles along their course.  Turning point comes in one's life after we have successfully overcome many hurdles/obstacles. As we go through  our life's journey, there are bound to be many challenges to overcome.We move on,each time,overcoming them.There are some challenges which are not that difficult and do not involve much effort on our part to overcome them,whereas there are some challenges which are very very difficult to overcome.But,overcome we must. We are left with no choice but to face them and overcome them. Challenges are of two types,physical and mental.Both are difficult in their own way. Whatever and however the challenges are,we need to grow as we meet them and overcome them. Challenges may be God's ways to evolve us. I have noticed that when we are going through some problems,we constantly pray that we, should get what we want.God,like any mortal parent,bestows upon us with something better but ...

Patience unlimited

Image
 I feel that I have developed unlimited patience over the years.Life teaches patience,tolerance and the attitude to ignore many things that are not palatable to us.The reason being,as we see more of life we realise that we can't change people around us, so if we have to deal with people who are a part of our living, we have to put up with lots of unpleasant things or their behavior that may hurt us. A person's behavior tells us more about that person,who ever it be....our own selves or others. I had known a wife who used to be constantly ridiculed by her husband for everything she said or did and that too in front of an audience of friends and the wife would always laugh it off.I used to admire that lady but her husband's behavior would irritate me.I think now I understand why she used to keep quiet and bear everything and smile it off.Their individual behaviours told us more about his personality and her personality.His behavior told us what an ill mannered and foolish  pe...

Is appreciation the end all and be all?

Image
The title I gave this blog is a question!!! I love to analyse every thing that happens in my day to day life.Anything overwhelming or anything that makes me sad. Well something overwhelming happened today. I was most unexpectedly appreciated for a painting that I posted in a watercolor group of which I am a member. At first it was overwhelming and I even responded to it.After responding,my mind started the process of analysis of the whole process.....from how I felt motivated to paint the subject to how I felt after finishing my painting. Actually, I could not take my eyes off the photograph that was posted by my photographer friend whom I follow closely.My admiration for that person's photography ignited the desire in me to paint and I could not help but make a water colour version of it.I sat through my work in the night till the wee hours of the next morning and was elated with the result.The first thing I did was to post it the next day.Irespective of the likes and comments I g...
