New Year’s Colourful Resolutions

New Year is around the corner. It is the time when everyone makes some resolution or the other. What’s so special about New Year resolutions? Can’t we have resolutions just about anytime we want? Why is it so much about the New Year’s? Well surprisingly so, but something which is absolutely true is the fact that new years bring with it a spirit that’s coloured with fresh energy and a wish for a new beginning. The beginning is not of anything that’s outside, but a beginning which comes from within.

New Year is a time marked by nostalgia for what’s gone and a strange enthusiastic anticipation for what’s going to come. That’s the reason as to why people set resolutions in the first place. We have a certain understanding of what really went wrong and what really needs to be altered in the New Year to come to make things different, to colour our lives with hues that are more vibrant and wiser than before. Resolutions come from a lot of interrogation within and the gestalt of all the introspection that one goes through day in and day out. The misses and catches all come in full circle to give oneself a feeling of enlightened perspective conditioning a resolution that one may make to better one’s life and year to come.

One thing that each one of us should remember to resolute and make a promise to oneself is to colour oneself with a sense of responsibility that one holds for oneself. So just close your eyes, breathe in and assimilate all that you can hold to slowly colour your life in the spirit that’s livelier and rainbow-ish.

Handwritten letter spells colours of care and a lot of love

When was the last time you got a letter from a loved one? Can’t recall? Not your fault… it’s an sms & email world! Emails replaced handwritten letters a loooong time back. Now it’s just about clicking a few tabs and electronically/technologically transferring your message instead of penning letters coloured with love and an effort to communicate.

The days seem to have become shorter, patience and tempers are continuously flaring, people falter over words and there are many misses in the life each one of us lives day today. The lives are conditioned by never ending hurry and chase for this and that while the real joys are missed and forgotten….One such joy that one misses in life today is that of writing a letter in leisure…just like one is having a conversation with the recipient. It works in many ways to find and embrace the colour and joy of expression which resides no where but within. It doesn’t matter how well you write, what matters is that you pick up a pen and a paper and just begin writing to communicate not just the words you pen but the act of thought and the colour of joy, care and expression that you weave together with the words you write.

They say that the greatest gift one can give to someone is one’s time. A handwritten letter is all about finding space and time which is conditioned by a desire to express and communicate with the one you wish to…remembering the loved one with a wish to be together… to be happy and celebrate that moment of life with each other. No email or sms can match the excitement and enticement that unfold with a handwritten letter! Gift your loved one your time, your love and your wishes…all captured and enveloped in a handwritten letter.

Celebrate the simple joys and colours that life brings along!
