Beautiful Thing...

First sound of a newborn,

Sound of waves on a moonlit night,

Sight of water after hours in a desert,

Crackling sound of Sachin's bat on ball when in full swing,

Roar of fans when the home team scores a goal,

First drops of rain,

Sweet smell of sand during rainfall,

Tears to celebrate the end of war,

Chants to bring in the bride home,

First kiss in a courtship,

A ride by the countryside,

Food prepared by mom,

A pregnant woman,

- Beautiful things!

Strength of a new day...

The most brilliant aspect of life, one thing that is constant in all our lives - irrespective of a stressful day, a stupid fight at a traffic signal, the sight of a young child with a begging bowl, the one run loss in a closely fought cricket match, a boss who only knows to boss around, the disappointment of bull turning to bear, the agony of a life lost due to negligence of a doctor, many many more such worrisome and painful moments, - the array of hope that erupts with every newborn day! It is so amazing that the bout of positivity around a new day, at times in spite of knowing the impropable task at hand, contributes to our daily existence - with the hope that a change is round the corner for good. In a nation where the memory is fickle and which in turn defines the adulations and brickbats, its amazing how certain losses can unite or split a nation. There are moments when you hoped that media did not exist, or did not have the prominence it currently commands; however on few occassions I profusely appreciate the media's role. It goes the extra mile to ensure the fickle memory does not set in but instead people take the effort of lining up with candles and few tears down their cheeks. With every passing day, one only hopes that the worst of experiences never returns surfacing its ugly head again, but what life would one have led but for those worse moments. For it is moments like those that help the inner self surface up one step higher than the ugly head, and add on to the rich experiences that shape the personality of an individual. It helps one get a measure of all events and make one stronger to march ahead to take on the rough road ahead without a sense of fear or doubt. No wonder then that the Rising Sun always showers in the brightness to knock off the gloom of a dark night, and make one get up to face the world with renewed hope and optimism. One constant in our lives will always be the Strength of a New Day!

Random Thoughts...

I have been wanting to compose this post for a while now, however have been wondering about the topic of the post. In the want of writing on the most relevant topic and not finding one, I was resigned to the search of that elusive topic. However I was taken by surprise while going through some of the blogs I visit regularly, people have gone ahead and posted what would very well qualify as a 'tweet'. It got me wondering, do I end up delaying an act with the desire to present it in the best possible manner and slowly let the fizz out of the entire act. I have told myself in absolutely the strongest possible language, resulting in shrugging off the laziness and the reason of 'lack of time' to finally come up with this post.

I have finally managed to post during 'office hours', I will return to my work, but I promise that the frequency of posts will only improve - whether you like it or not!
