Wind Beneath My Wings

It was 8:00 pm, September 19, 2016 and my friend suddenly texted, "Are you coming? Iam leaving now". Looking at the message, my vision got suddenly blurred and realized how much I hate surprises. The text was in context to the convocation of the 2015 graduated batch of Allahabad Agricultural Institute, to be held the very next morning.  Halfheartedly, I had decided that I would not be attending the event because of certain reasons which stopped me then. But, somewhere deep inside the heart (the other half), wanted to go and relive the memories of 2 years. I had made an extended family for myself in that two years of my stay in Allahabad. Also, I realized not everyone we come across will take us for granted but, the genuineness still exists. The handful bunch of people I had come across there, are one gems (not exaggerating for the blog :P). So, go get the degree was secondary and spending time and having a gala with these gems was primary. But, things don't come

Is it hard for you to today envision changing your habitual judgments that you throw on somebody you met for the first time?  A book that I read, "Blink" written by Malcolm Gladwell beautifully describes how we tend to size up the nature of a person or for that matter form an impression inside our mind, the first time we see them. I have always had this perception that we need to spend time with people to know them closely and understand their true nature. Even then, we sometimes go wrong in bringing out the best or true colors of them.  Getting rid of being judgmental and opinionated is crucial in order to eliminate 'the pointing of finger at anybody (when we are actually NOBODY ) or a malicious talk'. We can actually taint someone's character with our words and character assassination is never recommended in any sphere of our lives. If we sit and introspect, we would realize the sheer amount of time that we wasted on badmouthing someone. Remember

"I asked God for Strength... And God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked God for Wisdom... And God gave me problems to solve. I asked God for Prosperity... And God gave me a Brain and Brawn to work. I asked God for Courage... And God gave me obstacles to overcome. I asked God for Love... And God gave me troubled people to help. I asked God for Favours... And God gave me Opportunities. I received nothing I wanted... But, I received everything i needed Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and convince that you can overcome them!" With my first post i thought of inducing some motivation and courage in the hearts of people who are reading my blog. This is not my own work but has been taken from the pages of an Old diary (of my sister's).  Happy Reading Everyone.  Much Love.
