Which Moment Made You Feel Most Alive This Year

College teenagers were chatting on corner floor in front of college. It was a month of December, so everybody was talking about New Year Party celebration events. Sayali and Meera hurriedly came out of class after the lecture and was looking for their group on college's chatters corner. They joined the group soon and the group was busy discussing about the event that can be done in coming New Years Party. This year they want to do an unique event which can be inspirational and teach some light life lesson to implement in coming year for everyone. But they were not getting the subject which will be liked by everyone from group. Suddenly Meera asked a question 'When did you feel most alive this year?'

'Every time, in fact 24x7, what kind of question is that? We are moving, walking, laughing, eating, enjoying that means we are living life, Right? What else is being alive other than this?', Manav answered confidently, and the whole group became silent. Meera looked at everyone and said, 'Yeah means even if it looks like this, apparently its not true. Many times we get used to our routine so much that we only live in the routine. And in this situation if something unexpected, new and pleasant incident happened then we feel so happy. That moment is feeling most alive. In that moment, you didn't think of anything else, just live the present moment wholesomely happily.'

Sayali didn't understand anything from it. She almost tragically shouted, 'Hey Meera, what are you talking about? It all goes tangentially from my head. I feel like, I'm attending philosophy class. Please talk something that our mind can grasp."

'OK Lets make it simple', Meera again started enthusiastically. "Many times we didn't pay enough attention to the things that are happening to us or in our surrounding. It happens sometimes, suppose you are already late and about to leave for college. Suddenly you remember your car was running almost out of gas yesterday night. You first take the car to gas station and surprised to listen to your favorite old song that you were trying to remember since long time. That 4-5 minutes spent on gas station gives you a feeling of 'It made my day today.

Manav, before sometime, you got those kids balls and while returning it to them, you did amazing solo goal in your style. The little ones were almost stunned up by your move. At that time, how do you feel on seeing their expressions. You must have done so many goals while playing by this time, But you will always remember this one, isn't it?"

Manav nodded his head affirmatively. Meera started again "Anuja, last Sunday we were roaming in mall. We saw a singing program going on there. It was a live contest and you were so frightened and not prepared. But still you dared to sing your favorite song, How did you felt that time ?"

On listening to all these examples, everybody got convinced. They decided to go for it as a Topic for New Year's Party Event. Participants can share their experience about 'Which moment made you feel most Alive this year?'. And their group turned towards the cake shop for its celebration.
