A Special Day

There were many mails floating today saying that today is gonna be a special day, 05-05-2005 and watch out for the time 5:05 pm, this day come once in a life time.

What is a special day?
Why should it be only once in a life time? Ofcourse the answer to this question depends on the answer to previous question.

To me every day is a special day, as long as am contended with what I did that day. After all what else is required in one's life when you end your day with a smile, with a feeling of satisfaction, with a feeling of knowing that you were able to spend atleast one day in your life doing what you wanted instead of listening to others. Spending one day without the tensions of tomorrow nor the worries of y'day. Just living for the moment. Is all this not enough to call it a special day?




How many of us really enjoy our freedom? How many of us do not worry about the future or do not brood over the past? We keep struggling our whole life with so many
promises to keep, many commitments, many decisions to take. Life is too short to do
many things but not too short to stop for a moment to know where you are or what you want? I see many of my friends discussing their problems with me. But to be frank they dont seem to be problems at all to me. Not becos they are not my problems but cos most of them are temporary or very silly. One is worried about his career, one is worried about not having a GF, one is worried about salary, one is worried about boredom in life, one is worried about his guiltiness, one is worried about a way to cover his lies. Is this all life is?

From one of the forwards I got - 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. Live life as it comes, live it as if you are gonna die tomorrow and everyday would be a special day.
