Life’s not all that bad
I
was out for a tea break with one of my friends from work. We walked towards the parking lot and he pointed at a 1982 Enfield Bullet and told that it is his office
ride whenever he is in Chennai. I asked him as to why does he do that given the
terrible morning traffic and add to it, the not so pleasant weather! He replied
“It is something that I have always wanted to do”.
At times, we get too caught up with
the day to day things in our lives that we unknowingly take away the life out of it.
We forget that there is more to life than just sailing through. It is small deeds like this which reminds us to enjoy Life rather than making it an exercise of endurance.
It could be anything from taking
your little cousin to a super market and telling her “you can buy anything you
want” (I did J )or giving your younger sibling some extra bucks for pocket money or gifting yourselves something you always wanted.
It is important that we do little
things that make us feel good – be it for others or for oneself which ever
works for you because later on when we look back, it is these simple things which will bring a smile on our face.
When we get in to such small
indulgences, we are reassuring ourselves that in spite of all the quagmires that
the world spreads out in front of us, we are leading our lives in our own terms;however small way it may be.
In a nutshell, it is a small sweet
way of telling ourselves that after all, Life is not all that bad! J.
