Zest
A life lost in the
mundane bivouac of day to day tensions, jobs, competitions and duties is a life
wasted. We all want to pump up our lives, fill it with crazy fun, silly
happiness, carefree days; but end up saying ‘too tied up with work to think of
anything else, all we can do is dream.’ But why? Someone said don’t fill your
life with dreams but memories and experiences. Do we want our memories to be
boring always? Lately I too have been caught up with the mundane insanity we
tag as busy life these days. But being the kind of person I am, I have been
using every way to break the spell and zest up my life. Not too loud and crazy to term them, but five
simple things that zest up my boring work to home-home to work life.
1.
Music – Music is everywhere
all we need to do is listen. Every time I feel low, worked yp or am irritated I
start radio or my playlist. If neither is available, I start singing to myself.
Music not only calms me down it gives me energy to go do what I want to do and challenge
the work that has been eating my patience. Simple things can give us great
satisfaction and happiness and for me music is that. From Niladri Kumar’s Sitar
to the piano tracks, every note of music makes me feel alive.
2.
My Nieces and small kids –
Aren’t the adorable!! Kids – We always look at them and wonder, lucky them no
worries of life have touched them yet. But why not become kids and let go of
all your qualms at times! My nieces bring a huge smile to my face always. Their
innocent talks and cheerful nature makes my day. And my neighbors’ kids –
returning after a 9 hour shift and 4 hours travel and she calls out your name
and starts jumping with glee, you are bound to let go of the tiredness right?
3.
Sports! – Oh I have no
issues in being the zombie for a month if it is for Football. I cheer my
favourite teams like crazy. Shout and dance at the sleepy midnight when my
favourite team scores a goal or wins a match. And stream Tennis matches
everywhere and anywhere cause Federer is worth it! Yes I am a sports fanatic
and am glad I am that ways cause it makes me zesty! :P
4.
The moon, the winds and
empty road! –Being the nocturnal creature that I am, it is not difficult to
guess moon makes me happy. Yes it might be silly but who said silly things can’t
make you happy. Just take a stroll in an empty lane, that has jasmine flowers
smiling here and there, under the silver full moon and tell me you won’t be
contended? Go for a long drive on a full moon night and have tea and at some
dhaba at 3 o clock in the night. Sounds amazing doesn’t it? Or just sleep on
the terrace, or window bay or in your lawn and stare at the moonlight sky full
of stars! It is happiness at its best! Remember Zindagi Milegi Na Dubara? If
you don’t believe me listen to what Katrina says to Hrittik!
5.
Rain – Be it the light
drizzle or the heavy pour, rain washes away the dust of worries and rejuvenates
our soul for sure. To be drenched in happiness one has to find the music in the
thunders, smiles in the lightning and love in the showers. Nope I am not a
romantic, yet I am not untouched by the magic of rain, the Petichor and the
freshness.
Kuch Paigamon sang aata hai sawaan
Kushk aangan ko mehkata hai saawan
Gulmohar ke bag ko sajata hai saawan
Bechan mann ko behelata hai saawan!
Loud, Adventurous, Thrilling, Exciting - Zest has a different
definition for all I guess, but for me it is in these things cause all they lift my mood and spirit....:)
