The (un)wanted!!!

The other day I came across one of the Bollywood movie trailers named "Wanted". This title was very familiar to me and it kind of struck a chord with my life. One of my friend had been writing posts about "Life" in general when I started seriously giving a thought about my life. "Wanted" to me since my childhood days was a derogatory term. in my "Life" arises two thoughts. Am I "Wanted" or am I "(un)wanted" ??

To answer this question or rather contemplate, I took a cup of coffee, played the "FRIENDS" dvd and lazily sat on my recliner and in a short span of time I really was lost into thoughts imagining about my "Life" so far.My need in the family always varied from time to time but most of the time I was the (un)wanted kid. Everyone hated me, disliked talking to me (of course not my parents). Was all this because I always kept to myself, because I was too frank and blunt when talking to people or was it because I was a loser?

These bunch of questions always kept dancing around my mind just like how numbers used to dance around the head of the kid in Taare Zameen Par. The kept pace with me wherever I went and one final day I realized they were no more. Where did they go? What happened to them all of a sudden? Why did they vanish just like the lightning? Now, I kept asking these questions to myself when I attained enlightenment (just like Buddha :P). No, I am not any Buddha or Mahatma to attain enlightenment but yeah I did finally find an answer to all these questions. It was because I stopped bothering about people to whom I was (un)wanted and started caring and valuing people to whom I was "wanted" and here I am again happy, joyous and enjoying every moment of my "Life".

Ding Dong, Ding Dong...Ohh!!! Someone is ringing the door bell and OMG I had been dreaming ridiculous stuff all the while!!! No, wait. It wasn't ridiculous. All that had been hiding and paining my heart all these days finally came out. Now, I ought to go and answer the door bell else looks like they would break in.

How many times do you utter this phrase "5 minutes" in a day? For me, the day starts with "5 minutes". Getting up early in the morning is such a pain and I guess most of you will concur with me in this. Everyday when the clock strikes 5, my mom starts her herculean task of waking me up and here starts the phrase "5 minutes" in my life. Truly speaking, off all those 6 hours sleep every night I really enjoy only those last 5 minutes of sleep. Now, this concept of 5 minutes has become so inclined to my life that for every task or every work I was asked to do I started asking for 5 minutes more time to get into the task (not my office work of course, else I would have been chucked out within a week I joined ;) ). Even for having food, I ask myself (or whoever serves me food) for 5 minutes to start eating unless and until I am really really hungry.

This "5 minutes" has become more so a part of my life with my mom's arrival to my place. According to a third person's perspective this attitude symbolizes laziness but according to me it is anything but laziness. I would probably call this as the "5 minutes of LIFE". There is always fun in being lazy, not getting things done at time, but not at the cost of something. The funniest of all is when my friend asked me where on earth is your next blog post and I asked her for 5" minutes" to complete it and post it :P

So folks, enjoy your lives and make merry of every "5 minutes" of your lives ;)
