ARE YOU NUTS ?? ! :)

When was the last time anyone asked you that ? Or has anyone ever asked you that ?? If you cant recall , then i would say you are taking life a little too serious ! :)

Remember the quote " Do not take life too seriously for you will never get out of it alive " Most people just laugh at this quote but then, they fail to see how true it is ! And by being nuts i dont mean just Bungee Jumping or climbing the Everest...there are hundreds of other smaller ways to make life interesting. 

Like booking the whole cinema for our family alone !! Yes we did that , a few years back when my family planned to celebrate my grandma's 80th birthday. Back in Ipoh, my crazy bunch of cousins and i planned a 3 days family gathering and activities to celebrate her birthday which included games, treasure hunts and debate . Thats when my cousin brother suggested we book the entire cinema hall for a private viewing ! At first some of us did say " Are you Nuts" ?? How much do we pay to do that and is it even possible !? And how do we bring our grandma and get her to climb the stairs to the hall....no way ! But then we did it ! ! 

My cousin carried my grandma like a baby in his arms up the stairs and there she was, watching a tamil movie in the cinema after about 30 years !!!

 And the rest of us ( about 25 ppl) were free to sit anywhere in the theatre and brought snacks and drinks to picnic in there while watching the movie !

And the BEST part was , 3 of my cousins danced along with one of the songs in the movie !  We whistled , cheered and clapped as much as we wanted ! Now THAT was fun !!!

The thing is, though all of us had other "serious" life issues to deal with like work, studies , family , health and so on, we just all came together and  forgot everything else for the 3 days and let me tell you it is SO worth it ! That is why we need to be nuts sometimes, to remind ourselves that life can be fun despite any situation we are put in as long as we are prepared mentally and spiritually. 

It was lovely to watch our uncles and aunties who were like in the 50s running around throwing water balloons at each other and cracking their heads to win the treasure hunt ! We all need that ! to have the opportunity to bring the happy child that lies within. Never to let the daily life issues to drown us and let us loose all those precious happy moments we could have ! 

So, keep reminding yourself not to get too serious..do the necessary things to overcome any problems in life but dont dwell in it for so long and let life slip through it ! Be nuts and happy ! its worth it ! 

And i hope you soon get someone to ask you.....

" ARE YOU NUTS" ?? :)
