Happiness comes from the strangest of things...!

It was just any other day... But I just HAD to meet someone. I mean I really HAD to!

A very overwhelming feeling actually all this "HAD TO" business. I did not know what to make of it except meet the person in question. To my luck, the person (lets call him X)... X's cell phone was switched off. The coupla dozen messages that I texted him did not reach him and I ended up waiting for over two hours in a parking lot just staring at my cell phone and willing the messages with my mind to reach him (which obviously did not happen!).

As I was waiting in the parking lot, an old lady came up to me asking me if I wanted to buy something from her. Something about her struck me as very familiar. I could not figure out what it was. She told me that she had been walking from early morning to reach home and that she did not have money to even take a bus for the rest of the journey back home. Then it suddenly struck me. She looked like my grandmother. For a moment I was at a loss as to what to say.

Then she told me that I looked like I was someone familiar. What a telepathic connection indeed!

I just shrugged it off and gave her a 20 buck note and asked her to take a bus home. She just smiled and told me "Your grandmother must be really proud of you. Be happy in life. My blessings are with you."

On a day when everything was going wrong, an old lady whose name I do not know blessed me and went on her way. A little kindness goes such a long way. It warms the heart and and forms an unknown connection with the rest of the world.

As said rightly by Seneca, (a really ancient Roman philosopher from the mid-1st century or so), "Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness", I, today found it to be very, very true.

Moral of the story: It need not be that every stranger has to be treated like one.

Cheerio!

The Lord Giveth and He Taketh Away

The Lord Giveth and He Taketh Away...

Really?? Is that true? My! Then I would have been given quite a lot and a lot would have been taken away!

Is it really important to know what has been given by who? Is it not up to us to take what we want through our commonsense?? Really! People need to get a grip on reality! It is US which makes us what we are. It is our own hard work which gets us what we want. I, Me, Myself will help me out when I need it and hence, I get myself what I want! People reading this would probably think.. "Oh! one of those blogs where it gets all preachy.. what does she know that she's writing all this nonsense?!" Trust me, this is anything except nonsense. Should I elaborate??? I think not! Then, it REALLY would get preachy!

Okay, let me give a personal example....

Last year, within a matter of 8 months, I put on 20 Kilograms... I did! Y? Well, you can see it was a result of my own stupidity. I had quit gymming. I quit dancing. I quit this. I quit that. I quit a lot many things for that matter! Foolishness indeed! I did that to myself and as a result lost out on my confidence, my inner-self, my self-respect and not to mention my looks (not that i was a great-looking chick before!) But I did all that to myself and I knew it. So I took it all away from myself. And all for some a guy who did not respect me for what I am.

Then, all of a sudden I knew that I had to take the matter seriously. Started gymming again and lost about 12 Kilos in 5 months. A few more months and I know I'll be back to my normal self.

So who took here and who gave it back? ME! Just me!

It was my idiocy which made me quit all that was dear to me and it was my sudden start back to commonsense that is getting me back to my saner self.

So who do I blame? Who should I take it all out on? If anyone is the culprit here, then its me and only me and I realized it even if it was after it was all done.

So now, here I am... leaning on myself once again and doing what I love doing.

Moral of the story: Be selfish once in a while... It won't make you sick!

Cheers until the next post!
