Serendipity

Nature has its own bitter-sweet ways of communicating.

One fine day you wake up just to find yourself in a holy mess. Everything that can possibly go wrong - does! The time when you curse yourself muttering "WHY ME?". :(

And just on the contrary, some other day looks perfectly tailor made. You feel like a King, on top of the world. Everything falls in place and aligns in harmony. Things happen effortlessly one after the other, as if on their own. Not to mention the tincture of pleasant surprises and you chuckle amazed - "Feels so lucky!" :)

Today I had one such terrible day. Everything went topsy-turvy. I found myself struggling to put up with my chores. I felt frustrated with how just everything was going wrong like an array of glasses toppling
one over another. I clung on, though in despair. And to my relief, the ordeal ended in a Serendipity! I decided to call it a day with a cup of hot lemon tea. And just when the last few sips of my tea were left, I noticed something that brought a broad smile on my face. A smile akin to shade to a weary traveller on a scorching summer day. On the bottom of the glass cup were etched a few letters that suddenly seemed so divine "L U C K Y". It seemed they emerged out of nowhere! An oxymoron as it appeared after a long day - nonetheless felt pleasant. An assurance that everything shall be fine once again.

After all, nature has its own bitter-sweet ways of communicating...    

"Life throws pleasant surprises when you least expect them, which give you an unparalleled high."

    True that. but when you already know how the nature works, you should probably keep your calm even in the worst of your days. only that! will make you wise.

    if it sounds too much to do, go and give a smile to a mirror. you will feel on top of world again seeing that pretty smile!

    20-80 Rule:

    What happens with you, can be classified into two components. 20% is attributed to externalities (stuff that happens to you without your control). Your reaction to this 20% determines the other 80% :)

The lows and lows and lows....of Life!!

There comes a time in each one's life when the person feels utterly low and useless,So insignificant a being as can be assumed to be a worm wriggling on the earth.The phase is really killing because of burgeoning pessimism.Negativity creeps into every corner of life driving away hope,faith and optimism.The person is incredibly low on confidence and therefore susceptible to the remotest thing spoken about her be it about dressing sense,looks,behaviour or manners.There is despair and no dynamism;life seems static.The things that she cherishes the most,fail to bring a smile on her face.She no longer enjoys the things around her say spring blossoms,soft music.She feels like absconding,so as not to be seen or heard.She avoids being in a group.It seems she is all alone in this universe and that noone bothers after her.The person becomes irritable and impulsive.A tiny spark in such a situation is all it needs to cause a blast! This is the time when the person needs utmost attention and ne...

A Good Turn!!

When was the last time you did an act of benevolence?? I felt the same upsurge of emotions a few days ago.... As part of my daily chores I got ready to leave for office one fine morning,but a little late than usual.So as anticipated or feared,when I reached the bus stop the bus had already left.Now the sole option for me was to hurry to another bus stop,a few kilometres from mine,where I could board a bus due 15 min. from then.I called for an autowalla to rush to that stop.But all that while I was pre-occupied with the thought whether I would be able to make it to the stop on time so kept on telling the guy to drive faster.He sped up silently and I reached my destination well on time.I got down,paid the fare,crossed the road and enquired with the fellow commuters.The autorickshaw guy drove away.Haa to my relief,the bus was yet to come...After a while,a lady standing beside me signalled me to the other side of the road.I couldn't understand at first what was she upto.B...

An Open Mind...

A few months ago I learnt how important it was to be open to new ideas.A mind closed to new thoughts,ideas or beliefs that are different from our very own is deprived and ignorant.And in due course of time, it becomes dull and incapable of thinking beyond hackneyed.You ,in that case, are no better than-A frog in the well, ignorant of the beautiful world beyond.So break free from all the hassles...dare to dream,dare to welcome ideas.Feed your mind as you feed your body...and not to mention..feed your soul too. With the stage set for the drama let me not beat around the bush and come to the point I've been wanting to make. I ,being an avid reader, love reading rainbow range of books from science to mystery,folk tales to general awareness...an entire gamut would still not satiate my appetite for reading & learning.But I had biases,especially one of which I can remember well and am about to relate.Being a pure vegetarian(or atleast 99.99% as I can claim), the name "Ch...
