La-De-Da

'Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to' - Mark Twain. 

I can replace 'blushes' with 'gets embarrassed' after yesterday. Read below for 'one of the most hilarious but thank God it didn't happen to me' moments.

It all happened in one of the busiest malls in Delhi. Rishi and me decided yesterday to go out for lunch. While we were walking in the mall, I saw a man carrying his infant in his arms. It was an angelic sight. And then suddenly a ten rupee note fell from his hand.

'Ohhh, how would this uncle bend down holding the kid in his arm?', my over active mind asked its over enthusiastic other half. The latter one didn't even bother to answer (actions speak louder than words, no?) and almost like a reflex, I bent down to get that ten rupee note.

In any ideal situation, the uncle would have thanked me and I would have praised both parts of my mind. If only it was an ideal situation...

Apparently, just when I bent over to to get that note, Uncle's second son, who escaped my eyes (thanks to some angle he was standing) also bent down to get that note. The look on Uncle's face was as if  'you look well off and it is just ten rupee'.

I had no courage to explain my intention and I left.

Both parts of my mind sang 'Well, la-de-da!'

Wordless Post Part 10

Confused?

Sometimes, you have to see the world through the eyes of a child. You would notice simple things you never bothered about before :)

Moving On

Ever wondered where do all the emotions go when a relationship die? Or when you lose the precious person? Specially, in case of like- minded people who are kinda memory- keeper? 


An intelligent person once said' 'When you lose, don't lose the lesson'. Similarly, when you make the efforts to save something going astray, the emotions involved with it can also not go astray. Strangely, these emotions stay with us. They fester in the aura around us until we move on to something else. 


It is this 'moving on' business which is most critical and essential. So much effort you have put in to build something. Some time later, you have to put in to so much extra effort to 'move on' from that thing only! How sadistic and ironical can life get sometimes. Isn't it?


But this is the real challenge of your strength. The ultimate aim in life is to stay happier than before- with or without your emotions. Period. 


The world will never stop over your grief. Family and friends can help you for a while. But ultimately, it is your battle. You are the lone fighter. 


So, move on NOW. Do not dwell on what happened in the past. Let bygones be really bygones.


I am working on the same direction. Hope to see you around sometime soon on the 'moving on' road :)

'Star'less-ed!

As I sit here and look at the 'star'less sky
I wonder, without U, 
How similar is my life!
