Exposure to experiences

Exposure to experiences is the only way to learn. Observe, try and create convictions based on your reality. And avoid shrinking your mind. Expand it and you will see how beautiful life can be.

If you close yourself up in a limited space, how would you build connectivity around you? How would you know how others are faring their pain, their disappointments and sorrows, their moments of joy? How will you actually start counting your blessings when you see people who are so much worse off than you but some of them, so much happier than you? How will you understand the concept of accepting and valuing each and everything you have? And valuing the people who care deeply?

An open heart creates an open mind and an open mind can make you an extraordinary human being.

Observe

To have an opinion means you are a thinking person. To be rigid about your opinion shows that you have not churned your opinion with that of others and then found yours to be the final and convincing one. To keep changing your opinion means you are unsure of yourself. To shy away from voicing your opinion means that you might be intimidated by others who express freely. And to keep voicing your opinion at every step shows an ego which is not really inspired by knowledge.

And this is just my opinion based on observations and waiting to be churned with those of others on their observations.

Chance

There is a great happiness that lies in our hearts and which springs forth from our hearts when there is harmony within and without. The laughter of friends, the gushing of a waterfall, the drenching in the rain together, bus journeys playing "Antakshari" amidst much merriment... and even in the silent companionship.

Life can be beautiful if you give it a chance.

Controversy

It is generally wise to just withdraw in the face of the ego of someone you know well. Relationships are precarious when egos are high. If one accepts a person with all the traits, that equation might be different from that of two people who are equal and confident. It all boils down to how much you have digested life and its principles. And how much calmness your inner being has achieved for you not to get affected by external stimuli.

The one who succeeds is the one who knows how to refrain from

Sparking controversies and tries to appeasing those around. It makes you popular and endearing, but comes with the pain of holding back personal thoughts, speech, both of which might be contrary to the opinion of others.

Life is like that laced with some moving forward and some backwards and some standing still.

Exciting goal

As children, we used to be told that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We used to run towards it to catch it. And it holds our fascination even today....like a distant dream, an exciting goal!

How many pots we run after in life, isn't it? But have you stopped to see how beautiful each color on the rainbow is? And what an enchanting harmony of color the rainbow is?

But we prefer to focus on the pot which ultimately turns out to be just an illusion. And we mistake wood for the trees as we are past masters at doing this anyway.

Life's journey is also like a rainbow, with various hues and shades, now hidden, now visible. And we are the sky that holds all the colors within, to cherish each one with all their warmth and divinity.

If we were not born, would we have been able to experience the pure, undiluted beauty of God's creation? Rabindranath Tagore said that this world is so beautiful that he wanted to be born again and again. He cherished the opportunity of creativity and radiated joy through his writings and his music...the journey, riding on the rainbow with no aspirations of ending it and so, no desire to find that pot.
