LIVE CRAZY, LIVE HAPPY !!

I recently read an article by Mahesh Dattani titled “Don’t worry, be crazy.”

He emphasized the fact that “No matter how old you are, it is necessary to keep reviving the bubbly child in you.” I believe in this theory because I have tested it and tried it.

When you laugh hysterically and literally roll on the floor laughing (ROFLing!!), you can experience the true zing in life!!Ever tried running after a moving bus, racing with a squirrel, shrieking while driving through a tunnel and dancing in the bathroom with loud music? I feel these can be the best times of one’s life. This crazy creativity does not mean getting high on alcohol or any other vice – rather it just means feeling uninhibited for a short while in your limits!! For some “supposedly sane” people, craziness is not “socially appropriate”. I vehemently oppose this school of thought. I realize that it is essential to follow social decorum but doesn’t mean that those restrictive norms should keep you locked in a cocoon. The maddening and freaking moments transport you to another world. The small doses of happiness are ideal energy boosters.

All of us have heard of the high intelligence power of children. Scientifically, when we behave crazily, the pre-frontal cortex part of your brain gets activated. At that instant, all our senses are at their maximum grasping power.  Unbelievable but true, our mind is like a parachute and it won’t work with full efficiency if not opened.

The monotony of our daily routine has pushed us into the dormant mode and censored our imaginative powers. In my opinion, these small snippets of life help to relieve you from all tensions and stress. My parents often remind me that stress is an inevitable part of your life and I must learn to live with it. At that point in time, my heart as if wants to reply, “God!!! Hope it was as easy to do as it is to say!” But it can be made less difficult for sure!

Doing random things at random times rejuvenate you and raise your spirits high. A quote by an anonymous person which I really liked was “Life is a song. Hope is to sing it along and faith is to dance to its tune!!!”
