Comparisons
Why is it that often, new friendships fade
into a kind of indifference after a while whereas old bonds can be revived any time?
What is it about childhood friendships?
We travelled with my dad every two years
and this moving constantly never really gave us the time to strengthen bonds.
Today, when I see my children having such strong bonds with their friends, it
is because they were together since school days.
As children, there were no motives attached
to friendships.
Not a care in the world about the frills of
family name, fame etc.
Comparisons set in only when, as adults, we
start calculating and comparing.
But as I always say, everything does have
two sides and the good side of changing cities is that you learn to adjust and
adapt early in life. And unconsciously, your mental horizons expand as well.
We call ourselves widely travelled when we
have indulged in a lot of foreign travel. But I tell people I was a widely
travelled kid!

Words or Actions
What makes you feel peaceful after you have
acted on it is generally the right thing. If you have an active conscience, it
will tell you when you need to repair damage done through your words or
actions.
As you move on in life, it is your feelings
that will indicate your path. Feel guilty? Then there is work to be done angry
and also happy? Then you are on the right track.
So, instead of judging others, look inside
yourself. And ask, is there work in progress or has it slowed down or
completely packed up?
