Lol! I always dreamt of long romantic ride on a bike, but never thought I will drive a bike for @ 14 kms from my place to Aksa beach through metro traffic with my son standing in front and hubby with a handbag behind. He teased me after reaching there .. thanks for bringing us in one piece. Lol! I want to say him thanks.. as he enjoyed the ride without bringing any male ego in between and .. ride really boosted my confidence.

We really enjoyed two days at beach cottage with “NO TV”. Story telling sessions, playing with sea water, making sand castles with beach set of my son and yeah colleting shells on sea shore…all was real fun.

One morning, we were enjoying cool breeze sitting in sea water near the shore. I was closely observing the waves passing through me and also searching some shells, with hope that waves might had left few. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind. Why don’t we enjoy waves of our life ocean??? Why don’t we just relax for a while and look for shells thy opportunities?? We are always in hurry. We just keep on struggling with waves, which sometimes are there just to soothe us. We panic looking to huge waves (thy problems) from distance, if we take easy, would die out soon.. just making us wet and fresh. The unnecessary struggle and anxiety brings unnecessary turbulence and so we miss lot of opportunities. Sound philosophical!! Ahhh!!

My thoughts further extended with shell collection. I was trying to search on same tracks very often with hope that new waves might have left something interesting. In real life I never take a second chance on same track I had explored already and not succeeded. Why? I found many shells of my interest but then found snails in them, so thrown off. Like many in life for people I love. Many times I checked the shells superficially with foot and so might had missed many good one, so in real life too.

This time my hubby as well son helped me in collection, so I collected a good lot. See, if family works in harmony and so society or country, nobody can complain of lack of opportunities.

I washed my collection with running water and dried in sun light. Later, I cleaned and dried with clean towel. Sound boring? Wastage of time? But I was enjoying and hurray!! I found many shells shining and beautiful. Why don’t I try same with opportunities I get in my life instead of crying for one I missed or never got?? So silly I am. I cried and cried all the time for being unlucky and missed so many in blurred vision.

Anyway, no more regrets!! Get up now and try to make out best with those I have to beauty my and other’s life. Good luck!!

Tilak Sarkar: Very, very insightful and full of spiritual wisdom. I really feel if suitably narrated, the story of every life can bring forth new insight, new understanding and learning. Blogging has given us, the so-called common men, an opportunity to share our life experiences with the world at large. You surely made good of that opportunity.
