Life Gives You What You Expect!

It is true! life always gives you what you expect from it.

Only, we fail to notice it after it has been given. The negative thoughts inside us take up all the space within and leave no place for positive and good thoughts. Imagining that you do not want to lie gives you "I want to lie". Imagining that you want to speak the truth gives you "I will always tell the truth." -  that's a bit of positive thinking!

This simple thing has changed lives. Or so, they say.

A Silent Thank You.

I had been studying in HPS(R) for nearly 11 years now!
I had grown tired of the same surroundings , same friends , same teachers ,same everything!!
How boring everything was!
I thought that how nice it would be if I could really leave this school and go to some new school and see new people!
My parents always said that this school had given me a superb chance of showing my talent though I never showed WHAT my talent was… I even doubted that did I really have any.
Every minute of my life has taught me important things people must know.
Most importantly , I have learned to learn from my mistakes. I wasn't easy,but it was my biggest boon.
I shall never commit the same mistakes ever again..at least, I hope my fond memories will not allow me to do so..
I am thankful to God for what he has given me and I am content with it!
Every step I take , I shall remember each and every lesson I have learnt till now and act wisely…
I thank my parents and grandparents for what they have taught and showed me about life!!
and of course I thank God for all he has done for me …
I shall always remain indebted to all of them!!

Reverie

One graceful jump led me down the wall. I looked up to see the orange sky..then at the coconut tree. It looked beautiful. The sun was setting .. my heart melted away into it as I thought about my past years in the school…… above average marks… not many friends … the days when people were my ‘true’ friends , and gradually left me…. I thought why all that happened?...then I thought about my favorite subject…… animals.. about pups.. dogs..wildlife… etc etc. I remembered the first day when I came to this school etc…. i watched the beautiful sunset out of which I gained un-understandable happiness . then I thought about my favorite animals.. or rather birds… the eagles in the horizon. I heard my mom calling me, but I dint want to go .. iwanted to stay there long…. Yes, very long . maybe eternity!! But still, I tore my eyes from the beautiful scenery of breathtaking beauty …no artist could reproduce , no photo could capture !!

Hating my project even more every second… yes more than anything else in thwe world.. at this moment, I hated my project.
I ran down the stairs , slid over a few and jumped down the last five. It was a habit of mine ..to jump down the last five or six steps… but of course , not in school!! That’s the main reason I always wear pants.. to jump!
Anyway , reaching home, I went to the kitchen and had my ‘very late evening snack’ . after that , I had to do my homeworks. Later, I gathered the required information for the project and started working on it . I felt tired and setting the alarm to 3:00 am, vowed to myself not to miss the scene tomorrow- I slept.
I dreamt about the sunset… the most beautiful I ever saw- the alarm went off. My heart told me.. I had to wake up..c’mon…I woke up with a start.. the heart is more effective than the brain at times. I brushed, took a bath, prayed… started to study. I finished my project at 6.0 am. I rose from my desk and dressed quickly….wondering how the sunRISE would be??? Surely awesome…
It was still not light…I could go and see it..”surely yes”? icould not wake mom at any cost- I slowly opened the main door and padded up the stairs as fast as I could.. to the terrace…lest I missed the sunrise!! Might appear foolish but that’s the way sometimes anxiety works.
I remembered..suddenly.. the seminar ..oh! no! may be I just did not deserve the to see the sun rise or maybe it was the seminar papers that I carried with me which did not deserve!!
The sun slowly rose in its glory, gently like a wish coming up in the heart, its light an indefinable hue all and everything contained in it!
I rose up from the work on the seminar papers and looked with my heart and mind in my eyes- the sight….I beheld –a hundred lifetimes or more it will last… as a memory in the conscious whole of which I myself was a tiny part…
The seminar papers fluttered in my hand drawing me gently to more common things…but in one careless gesture I ignored their incessant rustle to absorb and be in that single moment of eternity…
My mom and dad came up looking for me…when they saw the sunrise their faces too lit up with some deep joy and we held hands…I was saved an inevitable scolding… we stood entranced..who knows how long….caught up in that rapture …it cost me only 3 marks for this …and I am glad that our lifetime was brought into one moment of togetherness.
