Happy Realization

There are times when you see something better and you just hope if you could be like that. There are times of complete satisfaction. There are times when you completely dislike what you do. So many opinions on just one thing, one person. Isn't it quite strange and hilarious. 
Yesterday, I  was reading an article and I was awestruck how that writer had exactly known what I felt. We often want to improve things and fix the imperfections. When I look around, I realize being surrounded by suave, almost perfect people who are full of talents and the thing that appeals to me the most, their flawless command in the way they communicate. I often land up observing them keenly so that I can pick up a trick or two. Sadly, this has paid no good. Probing for topics to be put down, something which is worth a write up, I completely forgot that there was this fine day when I had decided to do something completely random for myself, for my segment of peace, something completely different from the daily schedule and the topics pertaining to science and that lead me to the ramblings on the screens before you. Yes, this blog space where I scribble anything I like.
I attended a program where we were told that human beings are machines, meaning making machine. No, I don't mean that we do something as stupid as staring at a non-living and thinking what significance it holds. But yes, it is utterly true that we work like machines. Since we step into 10th grade we get so busy being busy that we actually forget that spending leisure time is not a crime, for things we like and for things that give us happiness. Even during the vacation, sitting dormant haunts me. As if there is something left to be done and I'll be punished if I don't; that feeling of guilt. This is what was happening with me all this while and hence to break the flow I decided to put up this random post. I got so used to doing the assignments, projects and stuff that at some point of time even this seemed like a work load. I just realized that being calm is unusual but it is not a crime. I know some of us may laugh at this but its true. Pausing for once is required after all we are a little better than machines. I hope this makes some more people realize that taking a break is not an offense. Happy realization!
Blessed are those who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse themselves with, something to judge.

Remembering you...

  And if I was to think of you again, you remind me of all the gentle things in life. Like the comfort of my pink blanket, a hand to hold on...
