Of the life I have lived so far, with parents, family, best friends, friends, neighbors, colleagues, teachers, bosses, with the faces I see everyday while walking through the streets. Experiences that I had, with the ones I love, with the ones I ‘loved’, with the ones I can’t stand, with the ones I meet everyday, the ones I watch on the streets with a utensil in hand. There are lessons I have learnt, some of them are still in my memory, some of them out of my mind.
Out of the things that I have realized over time, there is one thing about the two people who brought you into this world; they are the ones you really belong to, whoever you are in life you owe to them. It’s amazing how at times they give their own portion to us just to makes us happy. The term unconditional love suits to only these two people in your life. They are your Mum and Dad.
A brother, a sister, a sibling probably younger to you will act like an elder, and teach you stuff that might amaze you. I owe such advises to my younger brother..!!
Out of bunch of very close friends that you have perhaps since childhood, there would be someone who would for sure once in a lifetime break your trust, sometimes too much to teach you never to trust again.
In life you would meet someone who would become the most special person in your life, suddenly from just a stranger, person would teach you too many things, good ones, bad ones, naughty ones, emotional ones. Someone who would mean the world to you and one fine day that person would become your most familiar stranger.
There would be times in life capable enough to make you feel weakest, out of all the times I remember, and I know happened to me, there is always a lot of strength you have inside you to move on and fight back with a smile. The strength lies within.
Sometimes a sudden movie plan, a dish cooked with unknown recipe, a random trip, an unplanned outing, with your friends, roomies, parents, colleagues, and loved one becomes the most memorable moment in your life. And you realize that best things in life come unplanned. I owe many such moments to Notty buds, my brother, my roomies, and myself.
While walking on the streets I often end up comparing myself with the richest of the lot, just when I see a 2 year old begging barefoot, a 60 year old without legs, its then that I realize how rich I really am. I am one of those privileged ones who can make a life on my own, one of the lucky ones whom God loves just so much. I am indeed blessed!!
Taking my memory to the time when I struggled, faced rejections, fell down several times, lost somewhere tracking what I really need, and ultimately getting what I really thought of someday, I don’t even remember when, I realized that just like everything in the world, even the good times and bad times have an expiry date.
Someone in life will care for you just like you always dreamt, but still from somewhere inside you will have the courage to ignore that person. And sometime later, your ignorance will be felt like one of your greatest mistakes.
Of the friends you’d have, there will always be someone, a he or a she, whom you will always forgive, stay connected, trust, share secrets, call at 4a.m despite of the fact that he/she would ignore you for a nap, no matter what one such friend will always be your best of buddies. I owe such expressions to one of my school friends.
Of the friends I met in college there is one, I am sure everyone has, who is never sure, and never on time, and despite of all the irritating habits this one friend will still be close to you. And there would be one from a category who would understand you till he\she goes through the same. And another one who would always be you guide, a mentor, someone with whom you would hate to fight. I owe this one to Notty buds.
And since I am now a part of working population, I am sure there is and there would always be one human who wont leave a chance to exaggerate the little mistakes you make, to scare when the targets aren’t met, and expect you to be as good as the CEO when you are still a new kid on the block. I owe it to all the bosses I met so far and would meet in the near future.
And till now of all the good things, bad things, sweet things, sour things, nasty things, unfortunate and fortunate events, I just know there is something called life that always moves on.
