Life.....
Its a small word, but its long at the same time.....unbearably long for some..excruiatingly short for some..
WHAT is life???
When I was 5, Life to me was all about school, books and chocolates.
When I was 10, life to me was about laughing, giggling and making new friends.
When I was 15, life to me was about exams, movies, chinese food and clothes.
And soon, it was about all of it....education, clothes, guys, chocolates,books, friends,movies,smiling, screaming, crying, shoes, bags, watches (ok, not really, i'm not a lot into these things)....and after all these years of pondering and pretending to know what
my life was exactly I'm stumped...Is life about watching the sun rise and set, thus stealing away a seemingly glorious day of your lifespan??? Is it about gazing up at the moon and stars and trying to unravel the hidden meaning in their twinkly twinkles??? What is the purpose of these things???Life, friends, love, education.....Friends go....and for the most of us, loves goes away too...very few end up with love "forever", how ever long THAT is...Education, oh worthless education...a tall pile of certificates....do they count as achievements??? If they do, then where is the sense of achievement?? Or is this how achievement feels?If it does, I'm disappointed... But i'm sure it doesnt...its supposed to feel great...achievement oh sweet achievement...
So what exactly counts as an achievement??? I feel this great warm thing in my heart when i do something to bring a smile to someone's face....its the same feeling, this time in the stomach when i eat chocolate....So is achievement a chemical reaction?? Is life all about asking questions and trying to find answers to them??
After years of pretension and thinking....i give up.
I love my life.

:) Life is about being happy. You know setting goals, achieving them. Life is about getting to know your personal calling .. the very legend that was set for you when you step foot here amongst us!!
And yeah, goals need not always be materialistic. When I said goal, I meant anything that makes you happy .. it could be being rich materially, or perhaps serving people, even if its just loving your kids and being a family person. Anything that makes you happy, and that might as well be a consequence of making others happy :) Do have a look at my blog .. I just might have a few ideas to share.
This is Raghav btw :)

here is an opinion on wht life is by a really learned man.

its extremely tuff to define and understand wht life is. well, we dont even know if at all its necessary !!.. in fact, nobody who has ever lived on earth from the times the 'human' took birth in nature has been able to give a precise definition of 'life'. no einstein, no vivekananda, no plato or socrates, no leonardo da vinci, none of even such genius minds has ever been able define life !
its best to stop thinking over the question and waste our life and only enjoy to the fullest what we have with us: our life. and in my opinion the best way to enjoy life is to find something that our soul really yearns to do, some work into which we can engross our wholeself and keep doing it as long as we live. so now, how to find tht 'some work'?? just keep the innocent child like curiosity in you always alive and keep trying your hands at everything.. really be passionate about what ever u do, and u vl get to know wht is tht "ONE JOB" u live for and can die for ! and thts life !:)
