HEY KID! LOOK AT THE MIRROR.

The seven years old girl tried her new frock. She liked the pink frills and roses on her frock. She looked at her reflection on the mirror. She smiled and a dimple appeared on one side of her cheek. She thought she looked pretty. She ran to her mother.                   

'How am I looking?' She asked.
'The frock is beautiful.' Her mother replied.
'What about me?' She asked.
'Looking like a monkey. Ugly monkey.' Said her younger brother, who was playing with a car.
Her mother started laughing. She stood blank. She thought she looked beautiful. Her mother and brother again resumed their playing session, without saying any second sentence. She went back slowly and stood in front of the mirror. She was staring at her reflection but her smile was lost somewhere within her mother's laugh and ignorance. 


<14 YEARS LATER >

'What is the matter? I am here to listen. Tell me.' She said in a worried tone.
'This relationship is over.' He said.
'But why? I ...' She stopped midway.

His phone was ringing. He took out his smartphone to check the caller. She slyly glanced at his phone, a picture of a pretty girl appeared on the phone. He went away to talk to his new interest and she was lost deep in thought. Thought? No, perhaps a comparison. When he came back, she stared at him, totally blank, the way she stared at her reflection fourteen years back. 
'I think I understand why you want to move out of the relationship. I understand.' She said and smiled.
'I knew that you won't behave like those typical girls. Thanks.' He said and didn't even look back once. 
She went in front of the mirror and stared at her reflection again. She touched her face gently and turned back, to switch off the light. A drop of tear slipped from her eyes, flowed through her cheek and landed on her lips. 

She was pretty but the sad part was that she didn't believe that she was pretty enough for someone. 
'Ugly monkey.' She whispered and smiled and felt asleep. 



She wanted to live in a fairytale,
She wanted to meet her Prince Charming.
But aren't the princess beautiful?
Yes, they are
She crushed her dreams and threw it out of her life. 

All damages can't be repaired......

ENJOYING SADNESS.. YEAH, WE ARE THAT CRAZY!


When a person with whom you share a beautiful relationship leaves you, does your heart break a little? Perhaps a small heart break is an understatement, you must have felt like dying. You become a living human body with a dead soul. You curse the God and ask, 'Why me?' Well I think, we ask this question whenever we face an adverse condition. Your friend stood first but you failed, everyone is in a relationship except you, everyone is living a happy, healthy life while you are suffering from cancer and the list can go on and on but it will end in only one question, 'Why me? What did I do to deserve this?' 
Now let us change the situation a bit, you passed while your friend failed, you have parents and there are kids out there who live in orphanages, you are reading my post in your mobile/laptop while someone of your age is perhaps begging on the street; now can you ask the same question,'Why me? What did I do to deserve this?' I am sure the answer is no. 
Did you get my point? I can relate to everything that I am sharing with you because I have gone through this situation. Many of you must have also gone through it. Crying, weeping, cursing, feeling depressed, the feeling of loneliness is quite a normal human behaviour when we face an unhappy situation. But what's the fun of behaving in a normal manner? When we ask for extraordinary things, when we see a shooting star, why we are hoping to settle for a life that will offer us ordinary happiness? We should try to be gratefup even for the hostile condition. Who likes to watch a movie that has no spice in it? Our life is just like a movie, we don't know what will be the ending because God is a talented scriptwriter, he rarely goes for a predictable ending. When we don't know about the ending that we will get, the only thing that we can do is to enjoy the moments. We can enjoy beautiful moments even when we are sad, magical moments are there, you need to find it. The truth is when you are doing nothing except for gaining sympathy for yourself, you will miss the happiness that is hidden somewhere in the sadness that you are suffering from.Self-pity can lead to nothing.

We don't want our pain and sadness to last forever but we want the happiness, the love and all the positive things to last forever. Aren't we behaving like a selfish person here? We should understand that happiness and sadness follow a certain cycle because too much of everything is bad. We don't need to pray for happiness to become a constant phase of our life because in reality, we don't need it. Plus change is the only constant thing in the world. The happiness that you are experiencing now, can fly away any second. You are perhaps thinking that I am asking you to become a pessimist. But that is not the case, I am asking you to prepare for the worst, so that the fear of having to face that worst scenario makes you acknowledge the blessing that has been showered on you. Enjoy and realize the beauty of every moment. You can't afford to lose the little beautiful moments that can be seen everyday. Isn't opening your eyes in the morning, a beautiful thing to rejoice?

Nothing last forever, not even life. So, the next time when you sit in the dark room weeping, put a happy face by thinking about all the blessing that you have received. We get the chance to live our life for once, we should be responsible enough to keep ourselves happy. Believe me when I say that you don't need a happiness that last forever, you need a life with many ups and downs. The world might crave for stability, but you know the secret. You are a hero who doesn't deserve a monotonous life. So, cheer up when the sun is going down, because you have the stars, cheer up when you have no stars because the sun can rise at any moment now. The bright day is beautiful and the silent night is also beautiful.
