Life, as we call it

However hackneyed it may sound, but I do want to talk something about me being happy about being alive today. I always get this dream or say image, whenever i close my eyes that there is this huge universe full of celestial bodies, tiny dots spread all over and am just falling down, into an abyss. And then I just fall down on the ground and upon opening my eyes, I see lush green trees, mountains, birds, water. And there I am, alive. It might sound funny but its something which makes me feel vibrant and joyous. The very fact that I can sense, feel and emote. Time that am experiencing, which is never going to come back. You may call me an atheist as I don't pray everyday or ask God to fulfill my wishes. But whenever I get this feeling, I thank that force, which is there somewhere, for giving me the opportunity to live.

Another thing which keeps me going is that each one of us has a hidden desire in our hearts. Something which we secretly wished could come true. Something we wish comes true one day. For me, it is to learn a dance form. Any dance form. Times when I am alone, I still try to copy nice dance steps from movies, shows, stage performances. Some day, I hope to learn and express that out. I get amazed by people with swift bodies and nimble feet, their ability to freely swing their bodies and souls to the tune of music. I so wish to learn to imbibe that energy, that stance, that elegance. Some day.

I do feel am lucky, I really do. Lucky enough to be hale and hearty, lucky enough to have a loving family, lucky enough to live each day experiencing the various shades of life.

I remember when I was to join my engineering college, me and my family faced an accident while on way. We were hurt, dad had a fracture, I was sad and angry with God. Mom said, this is just to satisfy all evil. Now you will have a beautiful time ahead. So true. I had the most beautiful days of my life in those 4 years. Times which are so close to my heart. That made me feel, in every wrong, there is a right, somewhere.

Life is so precious. Each moment is a journey in itself. Each day is to enjoy to the fullest. Each day is a learning, an experience.

Today when I am sitting alone in my room, miles away from my folks, I look back to see how we don't realise how vital those little somethings are which people do for us, just like that. That cup of tea which Mom brings in the room, that naughty smile from our siblings when they take our stuff without asking, that pocket money by Dad even though we start earning, that warm hug in the mornings by that special someone to kick start the day. Its bliss. Its paradise. Its Life, as we call it.
