Let's infect the world...
Read these lines somewhere today:
Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner, and someone saw my grin -When he smiled I realized, I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile, then I realized its worth,A single smile, just like mine, could travel 'roundthe earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quickly and get the world infected !!
Strange Language...!!
Travelling in a public bus after long was a nice experience. With people of diverse cultures,languages & origin, the bus was moderately filled. I grabbed a seat & across me was a lady,who passed a gentle smile as I sat.The bus drove ahead,she was sitting there & smiled back as I saw. When the bus stopped at next stop, she asked me something in her mother tongue but I was not able to decipher it. I mentioned -I didn't get it. She rested for a minute in a gesture like saying,forget it. Probably she didn't knew English or Hindi which I knew. I flicked my eyes in a questioning manner. Then she somehow managed to say "bus-stop name?".Even I didn't knew the exact name of the stop. I asked her that does she wants to get down here in Hindi. It didn't make any sense to her and she gave me blank looks. Then I thought lets try something else, I made hand movements for stepping down from the bus & guess what,she smiled back and just mentoned name of a stop. It was the she got down later.
All this happened in few fractions of seconds in between when the bus had just stopped & moved. When I think, I feel at times we convey a lot by just gestures and not speaking anything. At times people try to say something to us directly but simply cannot. But they reflect everything from their movements...it can be any emotion...their anger, surprise or love for us. In this world, half of the beautiful emotions go unspoken...mentioned just by actions...!!
Ultimate Desire...
I read some inspiring lines last night, how much they inspired i can't really estimate, but surely i lost my sleep thinking over it.It said-
"Do you know what you want?
Your desire is planting of your seed.
Your desire of success must be so strong within you
that it's the very breath of your life.
It must be your first thought when you wake in the morning,
and your last thought when you go to bed at night."
I was thinking- what can hold the importance equivalent to one's breath?
Probably, it changes as we advance in life. Career certainly should not be that ultimate desire, else life & career will become synonymous, and life will probably then loose its beauty.
I am still thinking.......
New Year
The New Year has started out being pretty crappy so far.
With what is going on in Asia, that is so devastating and myself I can’t even wrap my mind around the total destruction and loss of life, how can they endure what is happening, my prayers go out to all of them.
