Life Lessons




Laying on the roadside drenched in all blood got a helping hand from a passer by offered me help & dropped me at a government hospital. Painful and scary at the same time, blood running from right side of forehead, right leg had a big hole & I could see my feet bone from it. Arms, shoulders & elbows had big scratches.
When came home from hospital I asked for mirror & that was a horrible face which I saw in it. 3 stitches on forehead, right side of my cheek was bruised and swollen. Thought I would never look the same as I used to few hours back & that cringed me from within.
15 days passed face looking far better but still can't walk properly. Meanwhile there were few people including family members & friends who did not care about how horrible I was looking & how miserable my condition was. I got their support through out.
2 months passed, now no dressing is required for my leg, I can walk properly & look quiet same as earlier  except the stitches mark on my forehead but all this while learned a few things...firstly good looks is temporary & it is gonna go away either with age or with uncertainties so no point in being proud of it. Secondly never loose a person who was there in your worst time because life may not be good to you every time.....

Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder...

Beauty is a subjective term. What I think is beautiful you may not think the same. It depends on one's taste, choice, thoughts & liking. Beauty is not restricted to humans, one may see beauty in animals, places or things as well. But when it comes to humans most of the time our inner selves leads us to racism. We often end up considering fair people more beautiful than dusky people. Especially in India fairness is the most popular category in matrimonial websites. Dusky people often adjust a lot while choosing a life partner. Everyone wants their partner to be of fair skin toned. Everyone wants their children to be of fair skin tone & if they are not then that's the main worry of their parent's life. We need to change our though process about the skin colors. Every person is beautiful regardless of their skin tones because it is not something which the person achieves with hard work, it's god gifted & we should respect the same. Waiting for a day ...

Grass is always greener on the other side

Comparing is a dangerous habit. We all compare ourselves with someone else on the grounds of lifestyle, possessions, good looks and many things and often end up being sad for not having all those things. It's human nature everyone must have felt so at some point or the other in their lives. But while comparing ourselves to someone who is more privileged 'according to us', we forget that do we really need all these things? Often you will find the answer as 'No'. When you look at a film star immediately you say what a life.. I wish I was a star! but do you ever think how many sacrifices people do to get that stardom. Are you ready to sacrifice? Are you ready to have control on diet & spend 3 hours in gym toning your body & always worry about what next? how long my career would last? All that glitters is not gold & Getting what you desire is not a piece of cake. Let's think other way round, there are so many people who dreams to live your life bec...

What's important?

We often spend so much on high end gadgets, branded clothes and costly accessories. We like to boast about our possessions, discuss the cost with friends and flaunt all those things. Many people also teach their parents about how to improve standard of living and how hard they work to maintain their status in the society. Spending on expensive things and maintaining them makes you so engrossed in yourself that you care for things more than human beings. While checking your expensive bag if a friend drops it then you would harshly say something that may hurt him. If your mom by mistake spill a water around you phone then very next moment you scold her & remind her how expensive that it. But if you fall sick and don't feel like getting up from bed then it's your mom who gonna sit beside you and take care of everything. If you are really sad about something then it's your friend who is gonna console you and cheer you up. Things are gonna go old, rust or torn off but ...
