Small things do matter!

          

            The morning starts early and the night shuts late.The kids have to go to school and the adults have the work to do. The routine continues without much interruption. The roads at the morning and evening will be swarming with cars, bikes and fully crowded public transports. 

Life is busy everywhere! 

              Irrespective of what we do, we seem busy; we will be busy to notice those little things that pass around us. Those small things which differentiates us from other species of animals. The necessity to help the ones who are in need.

              Something like offering the seat to the old man who could barely stand on a bus rather than plugging in the earphones and ignoring the world out there Or offering a pack of biscuit to the hungry kid who goes to school without a proper breakfast. It can be as small as lending your old pair of clothes to the maids’ kid or passing on your old books to a school going child nearby.

              We often think them as small things, which wouldn’t matter much to anyone and doing those small stuffs is a kind of shame, but to a lot of people in here these things mean a lot.

Small things do matter! It does make a huge difference.

Be Greedy

A

s soon as we hear the term greed or being greedy, a sense of negative feel comes out. Of course the dictionary meaning of greed means ‘excessive desire especially for wealth or possessions’. Why it is that being greedy treated as something not cool!? The people who are greedy are often kept aside; they will be the odd man out in the group.

                  We all know that excessive of anything is harmful for us, be it the wealth or possessions. But what if we make greedy ones desire for something positive? Like creating the desire to acquire huge amount of good knowledge? Something very much healthy! We can completely transform the total negative aspect of a word to a total positive one. And as usual the potential in the greedy people would be times more than normal ones. 

                   Easy to say but hard to implement comes a quick reply when it comes to create positive things, but nothing wrong in trying to transform a negative greed into a positive one! After all, negatives and negatives always make positive.

Be positively greedy.

Be Passionate

                   Every human being has a passion. It varies from individual to individual. For few it may be as simple and less expensive as riding their bicycle or dancing to their heart’s content and for few it may be as complicated and as costly as riding an aircraft or driving a sports car.

 

                    Passion is something, which gives us a sense of happiness when we do it. It gives us the ability to give out the 110% of what we do and yes! the extra 10% comes added with a sense of happiness.

 

                   Often people ignore their passion for many reasons, the work pressure or in better terms the necessity to earn a stable income comes at the top. They feel they would go nowhere by following the things they are passionate about.  They feel insecure and negative too. They do things which they are not comfortable doing and work hard round the clock in a job which gives them a good amount of pay. 

 

                 But it still remains, what’s the use of doing things which doesn’t give you any happiness? Follow your heart and do things that you are passionate about! Do the things that make you happy. Because they are the only things which let you give the extra 10%.

Child's duty

         
            Children are focused everywhere, ‘Every Child is Special’ indeed became a famous quote. The movie ‘tare Zameen par’ showed it in a very fine way, Ought to touch any Heart and give a warm Bliss. It’s not like old days where there were lots of kids to parents and many of them were ignored and were deprived of basic facilities. But kids nowadays are very much taken care of by their parents.

                 When infants, be it the brand of diaper or the lotion it will never be compromised. As the child grows up parents strive their best and admit the child to the best school, dad does the overtime in order to pay the child’s fee for extracurricular classes sacrificing lunch with old friend of his. How can we forget the mother who wakes up early each day, 365 days a year in order to make healthy food to the family which she even manages after her hectic work schedules?

        The bed time stories to be said every night even with a tiring day at office or the daily assists in the assignments of the child in spite of having to submit the project report the next day, the American tourister bag packs or the woodland footware, nothing is denied by the parent which diminishes the happiness in the child’s face. The chocolate cakes and the fast track watch for all birthdays, uff!! the list is almost endless....

         There are so many more things which the parents do for kids and goes unnoticed. But at the end a small question still remains in mind, isn't it the child's duty to do something in return?

MORNING WITHOUT MADNESS

Panghat pe aake saiyyan marode baiyaan
And everybody crazy on Radha
Chhedde hai humka daiyaan bairi Kanhaiya
And everybody crazy on Radha
Hoga woh lakhon dil ka chor
Humka toh laage woh
Hua hai aise baawla jo kehta jaaye…………………………

I could barely see a snooze and stop it on my cell phone at 6.30 am when the above alarm tone disrupted my fabulous sleep. And thus began my day.

I could hear the pressure cooker whistle from the downstairs but lazy humans we surely are, who won’t wake up in a chilly morning.

In a half sleep mode went and brushed my teeth, the mirror reflected dark circles and wrinkles under my eyes. But who has got the time to pamper. It was a week day and within some time I had to catch my bus to the college. Going downstairs seemed an uphill task.

Hot showers are surely the best thing, as the hot water went ran down my body, thousands of thoughts ran in my mind. Good thing about thoughts are that no one judges you for what you think, and yes the good always comes with a bad, time was ticking and I could hear my name being called out. I was late, thoughts vanished, presence of mind popped up. Prayer was mandatory after showers. And who will sacrifice steaming hot pulao as a breakfast when the stomach is growling? Huh,  yes at times a morning goes without much madness.
