Small things in LIFE

What is life? Let me pen down Chetan Bhagat's view on this "Life is one of those races in nursery school, where you have to run with a marble ina spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same with life, where health and relationships are themarble." I personally think this is the apt definition for LIFE. We all are busy to come first in the race, noone has TIME to think of the marble. Am nt gonna start any debate on this topic, and this is not my topic... Am here to share some of the small things/moments in my life which i enjoy to the fullest and i have to agree most of those moments are when am not with my family, friends...All of us will have such small things that will make us happy...some will enjoy it and some are very much immersed in the problems of life that they are not even able to feel those moments... Problems are there in everyone's life,only the size and the perspective of people towards it varies.
Ok, i think am deviating from my topic..not anymore...let me collect those sweet small moments and convert it into words...
The half an hour journey from Bangalore City railway station to my room, during the early hours of morning in the local BMTC bus..One of the small things which happen once in a month in my life for the last 1 and a half year... I dont like coming back to Bangalore from my home town, I dont like going to office on that Monday morning...but still I enjoy the quiet bus journey...I always try to grab the window seat, to watch the city in its peaceful time..without any traffic signals, any pollution, any noise.. the cool breeze blowing on my face, playing with my indisciplined long mane.. the soft FM music echoing in my ears from my phone...A small thing that I look forward to each and every month.
As a child one of the things which I feared was the sound of the train when it travels over water...I always feared train will fall into the water..let it be pond, river or sea..Depth was not at all a criteria for my fear... But as time passed, I started enjoying the moment when train passes over a bridge with water underneath...I used to look into the water.. dontknow what I am searching in that...but i love watching the water, feeling the depth of it...that loud noise nomore frightens me coz now am not hearing the noise while travelling over water, but enjoying the sight of water...
Rain...one of my secret dream is to drench fully in rain..enjoying the raindrops bursting when it comes in contact with my body...dont know when can I fulfill it... I love the smell of soil when it rains after a very long time... I enjoy that moment, its a nostalgic feeling...I remember my childhood days at that time..
There are lots of other moments... spending quality time with my family, making my loved ones happy, the time i spent with my close friends, sitting alone in my room listening to my fav music/reading an interesting novel, the small clashes with my younger sister and solving it after some time...lots and lots.... the moments which i cherish... which are very close to my heart.. which makes my life worthwhile..
These are some of the small things which I enjoy a lot.. As I wrote in my profile in a social networking site 'I do not want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well...' Everyone lives the length of life, it's like driving alone through a beautiful landscape ... We are so much concentrated to reach our destination that we forget to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings.. while doing so you will feel the journey so long and so boring... we will be desperate to reach the end...but I agree that if u get lost in the surroundings you will never reach the destination..There comes the balance..Try to enjoy the small things which come along your long way to the destination while not forgetting your goal... That helps to ease the tension and makes you more productive..You will reach the end in both ways, but when u look back in the first case you might have regrets of not enjoying those small yet sweet moments atleast once...
Now comes the question why I have written these things...Just to make people reading this to think for a minute whether they are regretting losing those small moments,whatever it may be, in their life..If yes then I am sure they will atleast try to enjoy the small things which will come their way in future...
Do leave the comments if this blog made u think for a minute abt those moments...

Luv,
