Blast from the past

Birth, death, birth again, death again and so it goes on… some believe in this cycle of life, some find it silly. Questions we ask, questions with no answers, questions that leave us wondering… What happens after we die? Is re-incarnation for real? How did this entire process begin?

I do believe in this cycle of life and death. I believe that I am a soul that has borrowed this body for some time. Once the time is up, I (soul) will leave the body and enter into another body. This goes on…

It's intriguing, and at times when I meet people – meet them for the first time – I'm able to instantly connect with them… as if, I know them very well, as if, I've met them before. No insecurity, no formality, just a smile or a conversation or a glance – and I know I can trust them. I know I can be myself. I met someone a few months ago and felt as if i've known him for years... now he's one of my good friends and the comfort level we share is what i'd hve taken years to share with someone else... This is the most recent case; there have been so many people in my life that I've been able to open up to and these people have gone on to become my closest and most trusted friends.

Similarly, there are some people whom we tend to keep away from... we just don't feel like getting to know them better... they maybe strangers, have done no wrong but we just don't feel like interacting with them - this too happens with me quite often. I just don't seem to like some people I know... mmm reminds me of something I read somewhere - We dont like some people coz we dont know them and we will never know them coz we dont like them. Sometimes I wonder if I should just be patient and give them a chance to be themselves. But it doesn't happen... I just don't feel comfortable interacting with them... I'm unable to be myself.

Then I wonder why these things happen with us? Well, I do believe in this cycle of life and death. I feel as if I’ve known these souls for years… maybe I knew them once upon a time - maybe I was related to them or was friends with them, or… maybe we didn't get along in the past life coz of which even in this life I feel uncomfortable interacting. I do believe in past life / reincarnation – for some, this may seem very silly but it is my belief that I’m expressing here. It’s a blessing in a way that we meet our ‘friends’ again in this life coz we don’t need to waste years in building a trust! (Trust factor is so important in any relationship; there have been times when I’ve trusted a few people and they’ve only let me down – but these cases are few and far between. Most of the times people have not broken that trust.)

So, to put it in short, I do believe that I have connected with some people in this life once again – maybe for a reason. But I’m happy to reconnect; I’m happy to have so many friends around; I’m happy to have a blast – from my past!
