Valentine's Special

It was 6 in the morning, as she excitedly woke up. She ran to get ready as quietly as she could so that no one can hear any voice. She wore her favorite red attire as she collected some beautiful red roses. And she then silently moved out of the house.

She didn't know anything about Valentine's Day. All she knew was that on this day, she earns great profit by selling the same roses that are not sold very well every day. As the sun was drowning, she seemed to be even more enthusiastic. And finally the moment came for which she was waiting for long. She collected all her money and after counting all her days' earning for the third time, she went to a toy shop and bought a bat and a ball for her four year old brother. As she went home, her younger brother was eagerly waiting for her in the veranda of her house. He knew her sister will surely get something for him. And in a little time, as he saw his sister with a bat and ball in her hand, he jumped in joy and he hugged her sister tightly in merriment.

 Marcus Aurelius has rightly said that "Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking".

    How true! We all wait for someone else to give us happiness, and contentment. But it's all about what we make out of all that we have with us.

Acceptance is bliss

We often hear people saying, “Ignorance is bliss”, what I think is quite opposite though, which is “Acceptance is bliss”.  Knowing the truth and accepting it. The simplest and most difficult thing you can do is to accept it. Sometimes, it’s hard to be in a situation where we think not knowing the truth would keep up in a better place, safe, protected and secured. However, I think at the end of the day it’s more about knowing the truth and accept it. You don’t have to always control the so called situation, you really can’t, so you just let it be. Just like sometimes, people don’t need an answer or solution to their problems, but all they need is a listener who will give them their valuable time.  Easier said than done, we cannot change the past, neither the present, what we can do is change our perception. Instead of ignoring what we are feeling, we should rather introspect and know what we are actually feeling inside and work on it. Pretending being okay and unaffected from outside is

Perfect Life or Happy Life ?

Picture Courtesy : Google A perfect life or a happy life ? Which one would you choose ? Well, before deciding it one should know the difference between a perfect life and a happy life.  The fact of the matter is , a perfect life is not always happy , but a happy life is always perfect. Sometimes it takes a whole of our life thinking what perfect life is and than getting it. Perfect life for mostly people include a good job/business , a luxurious car and big own house. It is mostly the dream of a ordinary person. The truth is , there is no guarantee that the person with a big own house, luxurious car and good job/business will be happy and satisfied. There is no limit to wants and satisfaction. And so there is no perfection in anything except you. Yes, only you are the one who can be perfect in your own way. Perfect life is just a thing , reality is happy life where you have your family and friends to be with you in any of  the circumstances. Your happiness is in those peopl

A Soldier's Life

Image
We often talk about all the things our country is lacking of , for example shelter for all , food and water for all , investments , development and much more. But we never talk about the things we are proud on . So here I would like to dedicate this post on SOLDIERS... A soldier is the one who fights as a part of an organised , land based armed force despite of which religion he belongs to , or for which religion he is fighting for. He fights for his country no matter which cast he is of or which god does he follows. But we the people of the same country follow this cast system till now. All of us know that every Mohammedan is not a terrorist but we have found that every terrorist is a Mohammedan. But we never thought that how many Mohammedans are in Indian Army or how many Hindus are in Pakistan Army.  The fact is we never thought it in this way. We always had a feeling of adversary and we always grew up listening partition story and developed a feeling of terror with those
