Life.. What is it? The breath that you take everyday... The soul which resides inside... The time that you spend with your friends and family or just about your day to day life...
When people ask what I most like about life.. I smile.. And no, not at them.. But at the question.. There's just so much that we all like about life, isn't it? and Also just about too much things that we hate in life..
The cool breeze that touch us on a hot sunny day.. Be it the natural one or just through an air conditioner in a shop. The onset of seasons of fruits that give girls a healthy way of dieting but then also another reason of getting fat for some foodies...The joy of having perfected the recipe we've been trying ever since or the joy of seeing an India v/s Pakistan match with a bottle of beer in hand and spirited friends around.
The rush of the first unexpected kiss and the unexpected I love you. The first ten on ten that we scored and the rare smilies that we got from our teachers. The sweet romantic movies that would make you cry and fall in love with the character. The boring work week and then the party that followed on the weekend. The chit chat and the gossips with friends. The sitting on the mountain top and witnessing the beautiful river that never seems to end..The exquisite sunrise and sunsets.. The long drives and the food at the road side dhabas.
Isn't there just so much to life?
Not always good.. I agree.. There are some bad ones too...
The scoldings that you got for incomplete home work. The beating that you received for stealing or lying. Permission denied to watch a particular movie with friends. The cruel friends who just pretended to be by your side. The boyfriends who never could take care and the girlfriends who became way to naggy. The hustle bustle and the traffic on the streets.
The pathetic food of the restaurants that you still had to pay for. Staying away from home on festivals due to college or work. The applications to colleges being rejected due to low score. Getting laced with a low package. Cancellation of a trip planned.
The idea here, is not to make you realise the good and the bad.. it is rather to make you realise that there's is just so much in life that it cannot be sumarised in one word or sentence. No matter how hard you try...
So next time when someone asks you.. How's life? just say how do you expect me to describe 22 years (or whatever your age is) in 1 minute...

is it the hard time that your boss gives you... The fights that you enter into... The success that turned into failure.When people ask what I most like about life.. I smile.. And no, not at them..

Hi Taniya,
ReplyDeleteVery nice article showing the spontaneity with which one should look at life. Its quite nice to see u looking at all those tangents of life. Quite philosophical but one question, when someone asks howz life, cant it be always good? Coz, u r living ur life out there, be it good or bad, but u gotta life and u r living it out so its ought to be good.
