Treasure Box of LIFE.

 i am remembering ...
A time of unbridled JOY
playing with mud cakes for hours on end

i recall being buoyed ...
by endless wonders
All around me

i am reminiscing ...
The countless hours of play
filled with laughter

Where did those care not about the hours GO?!
Why am i counting minutes now?!

i need to return to those moments of JOY
To enjoy being in the present minutes ...
THAT bring me pleasure and bliss
THE carefree pockets of happiness

Simple, serene escapades
i do not want to know the time
for it matters not

It is the captured camaraderie
The memories made
Experiences encapsulated
In the treasure box of LIFE

... ONE that i can open
To let out, all over again
Precious "gems" in my heart

An elixir to fortify myself
A nectar to blanket me
My safe haven of warmth, LOVE and HOPE.

Take for instance, a newly opened central bus station for outstation travel that is located far from the town bus station. Although a feeder bus service is available to travellers, they still need to travel quite a distance to catch another bus at the town bus station from or to their intended destinations unless they decide to take a cab which would cost dearly for some.

Then, waiting for another 20-30 minutes for a particular bus to take you where you need to go. Altogether, a journey that only takes about 2-3 hours becomes a 4-5 hours exhausting, roundabout, inconvenience which many especially the elderly would rather avo...

The Good Ol' Days

The Good Ol' Days of carefree days and easy camaraderie A melting pot meeting and melding in grace The Good Ol' days now gone...

LAUGHING IS GOOD FOR YOU

When was the last time you laughed out loud, real hard till tears rolled down your cheeks?.i cannot remember when i did and ever so often friends tell me to 'lighten up'. i realise that i hardly laugh unless i watch something funny on cable tv or some friend cracks a joke and since i don't watch much tv and hardly meet up with friends, it is a rare occassion to hear me laugh heartily. It is just not me. People don't laugh as easily or as often anymore because there isn't much to laugh about yet it is important to laugh. Laughing makes one feel great and that leads to a positive outlook on life. Laughter is being used as theraphy to cure illnesses and promote good health. Laughter yoga which was first started in Bangalore,India is now practised everywhere in the world and even you and i can do it as it's that easy. A group of people stand in a circle and when one starts laughing either by telling a joke or relating a funny incident or just laughing without re...
