...You Live Only Once :-), now just a month back I stumbled upon this idea. Well, to be precise, yes, it was Twitter and a leading publication who rather suggested me this one, and I realized that this is me!
unabashedly, in perennial state of YOLO (You Live Only Once). Infact, in a way, we all are, aren't we?
...Are you not happy that we have been living in this age of social media boom, AAP effect all over, aare...why don't you Google it thought, please WhatsApp me that pic fast.
...don't you want to live each day as if it were your last?
...itching to go into unknown territory even if it's full of unknown risks so that you get to learn something new?
...make spur-of-the-moment mistakes and be cool about it?
...lol, have you ever thought to do try bungee jumping again at the age of 80?
...always want to learn a new skill every year?
...not afraid to experiment with your wardrobe, once a while?
Yes, if you heard a little yes inside, you are following YOLO philosophy like me. Come on, you won't get another chance to do it :-)
I was surprised to know that the philosophy has been in existence over the years, just that it has become more well defined in recent times. The history is evident, here's Bahadur Shah Zafar for you -
'Na dekha kahin woh jalwa, Jo dekha khan-i-dil main,
Bahut maszid main sar mara, bahut sa dhoonda butkhana'
* vague translation, I saw no light same as that came from within my heart. Much I battered my head in the mosque and looked for it in the temple.
I have decided to live by YOLO, because life is short. And...
Thank God, He has been kind to me for the husband whose WhatsApp status is "You are taking too much space, if you are not living your life on the edge." That's makes two of us! And just now I am going to fill YOLO under the religion section of my FB page.
And as I live by YOLO each day, there will be more to come on this. Till then, let me end by few lines of my favorite poet.
What were those wonderful lines of Yeats ?
" She bid me take life easy as the leaves grown on the tree,
but I being young and foolish did not agree."
