While coming out of the bathroom, my eyes went towards a mirror and I stopped for a while to look
into it. I saw the pimple marks on my face. Damn, they aren’t fading away.
Anyway, I walked into my room and sat on the bed facing a wall. I noticed the
dirty marks on it appeared to be made because of the cello tape used by
predecessors of this room. I thought isn’t it a normal phenomenon that even a
single smallest stain on a white bedsheet attracts more attention than rest of
the whiteness. Does that small stain
really ruins the purity of the whole damn bedsheet? Then I was hit by the idea
that don’t we have a habit of pointing out every possible bad in things rather
than appreciating rest of the good in them. We all do it, I was doing it
for so long but realized today. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if each one of us
learn to appreciate the good in each other rather than fighting over the bad or
things which appears unpleasant to us? Here I got the solution to some of my
problems related to dealing with a few people living around me.
I had already started to think about making peace with them
but then I started cursing my luck for getting stuck in such a place. But then I
thought about its benefits too. It seems God was too merciful today. What
happened was, all these reminded me of a lesson given by my mother. Once we were preparing some food items for my birthday party and she said
while putting sugar in kheer, “You cook ten items but even if one item goes
wrong your hard work for rest of the 9 items goes in vain too. People will
forget to appreciate those rest of nine just because of that one
item.”
This keeps happening in our lives too. We might have hundreds of things and reasons to be happy for, but we keep cursing our circumstances and luck just for not having one thing and make ourselves sad. Got my lesson number two for the day. Now it was becoming too much for me and it was raining outside so I took my umbrella and decided to have a walk through the hostel area. I saw an Indian Roller taking a flight near Lapis, magnificent it was.Saw some other birds too, as during this time of year, a lot of birds migrate here to spend winter. You can find full list and details here http://bit.ly/Tr3K74. I was lost in the beauty of nature and suddenly felt something slippery under my foot. SHIT, I stepped on cow dung.
