My first post for the new blog-phase starts with *not-so-light-heartedness*. Yes I have been living in the Lion-country for almost an year and I am away from the home for the very first time. Things have changed. People who don't know me well call me "Madam" and for an instant I get thoughts like "WTH?!? am I too old?" But not to forget, whenever someone does that, I kinda feel all those responsibilities that I need to do. At this point of time, there are quite a lot - get a good job, pay back my loans, get something very nice for my home-ies with my own income.. and it goes on. But every night when I can call home, my Mom and Dad call me with all those *naice* pet names and then I know, "yeah! am a kid" :)
Sometimes everyone of us feel, "life as a kid is much fun, for they have nothing to worry about". I have craved to be a school kid at all those not-so-good-going-moments. But wait! wasn't that me who wanted to grow big? I wouldn't call myself crazy for having mixed-thoughts, for it's human to think so. I tell it out in my blog and many others tell it their own hearts. But at one fine point of time I begun to realize that, things cannot be changed. We don't have a rewind button. Not even a Time-machine. For that case, is not a CD player better than us? Dude they have the R-button! But the CD player is not going to grow up, it's not going to graduate, do they even marry? how about kids? or in a single phrase " It's not going to EVOLVE".
But I am evolving and I will be or rather we do evolve. During
this evolution phase, we tend to see the things which are hardly going to matter to us in the future with wider eyes but we turn blind to the little things that give us happiness at that moment. I have did it, but the best part in this is, I learnt how to minimize the hurts. I learnt not to regret. But that's not the complete solution. Enjoying the present and finding ways to enjoy the happiness in the present moment is the key. A function was happening at my place and my relatives were busy with their own works. My little cousin (who has a real sweet-tooth) wanted to have sugar-candies. But those candies were mixed with other dry-fruits and nuts and they were put in a bowl. How was she going to get them? Had it been me, I would have picked them up one-by-one and gobbled them till i felt contended. But she is not me. She had her own way of emptying the mixture into a sieve and collecting the little candies in a plate placed beneath it. Is not this what we were talking about? She knew that candies are the ones that are going to give her happiness and she focussed on them only. She left all those things that were on the way, right on sieve.
May be I am just putting extra words to all her actions. But is not that what Robert the Bruce did seeing the spider? ;)
See ya again la ;)
