When was the last time...??...

                                                           When was the last time?

                                                         

    

Ah..!!..When was the last time you woke up early in the morning just to feel the warmth of vibrant sunrise?

Do you actually remember the lovely monsoon day, when you used to jerk the green rainy tree hard, just to feel the refreshing cold drops of rain on you?

                                             
                                                              

And gone are those lovely nights of illuminating joy. When in dimly lit moonlight sitting in your balcony you used to count those twinkling little stars , those endless lights of happiness in full excitement.
I ask you all, where have those lovely and eternal days of innocence and happiness have gone away? That peaceful time of utmost bliss, solace and joy away from the hustle-bustle of your 

fast-track life......!!.....
                                          

  

Again I want to ask you all – “do you still remember that last time?”

When you hugged your parents tight telling them-"mom-dad you are the best "...and kissing them....thanked them, those great eternal God figures for all the love, affection and care they shed on you throughout their lives.

                                            

Do you still remember that one last time? 
When you after spending a day of vacation with your family lavishly, took out some moments out of your precious time, just to press the legs of your elderly mom/dad and grandpa/grandma at home......and derive eternal joy from these golden moments, in the form of their unending blessings. No, I guess.

                                         

My heart can’t stop popping up the same question-when was the last time?
You said the word "sorry" just to relieve the pain of one you hurt hard, for no reason. 

I ask you- when was the last time you cried seeing the pain in other’s eye? 

Remember? No, for sure….as playing with people’s feeling and laughing in other’s sorrows has become your nature.

Then how can I expect from you all that you still remember that one last time, when you said "thank you" to your loved ones for all the good they have done to you. When was the last time you prayed just to say thank you? Ah! Saying thanks is not your cup of tea, I guess…..

                                             

In this fast paced life of expectations and their early fulfillment, you have become ignorant towards the kind feelings and emotions of love and respect. You have become so much indulged in your selfish pursuits that you hardly left with time to recall that one last time, that one peaceful moment of bliss and joy, when you actually touched the eternal bosom of happiness.

Unfortunately, you have forgotten the real essence of life that lies in the small joyous moments of happiness spend with your loved ones. The actual pleasure truly lies in those lively moments when you used to sing and dance in the cold chilly rain without being worried of anything. Gone are those days of vibrant smile, when you used to play in sand, muddying your hands just to build those lovely houses of your dreams, without any due consideration of world around you?

The feeling that arouse in my heart seeing such pathetic scene is-                                         

"greater you are moving towards modernity, greater you are distancing yourself from the small happiness of life.” Don’t you realize that you have forgotten how to smile and laugh to the fullest of your heart, in fear of this sophisticated lifestyle of yours? Thus, once again the same question arises.-when was the last time you laughed to the core of your heart without caring who is watching you?
                                  

Even the lovely colors and beauty of nature is being ignored by you, just because of your never ending lists of aims and ambitions you hold in life. And you actually ask yourself-

“when was the last time I saw that colorful rainy rainbow from my office window sipping my favorite cappuccino?”

   

                                        

So what I really feel is-                                                                                                                   

“Enough of remembering this one last time. Instead, it's a high time for you to make every moment of your life special and memorable so that there's no need to hit your neurons hard, just to remember that "one last time".

Life is all about enjoying, cherishing and memorizing each and every moment to the fullest. 

So my friend, when was the last time you tasted the real essence of your life, just to feel the positive transformation changing your life forever…??...
