No Pain, No Gain

Driving on a busy jam packed road of the city could have otherwise led to fret, but today even unusually warmer sun seemed to provide comfort, and there was no hurry. Despite an off day, I attended the duties (unaware of the privilege given to those who participated in sports) but seemed to enjoy the day, as no compulsion to remain on the desk till four. So, the best option was to drive lazily through single main road which would cover most of the town within five-six kilometers' distance..thoughtless..
We've time and again heard the saying, "no pain, no gain", yes, unless one puts total effort no results sought..even  if you don't put effort pain is bound to happen, in some or the other form..certain pains have no reason at all, still they exist, making life heavy for the time being.. to be forgotten with time, and we say, time heals..it's just successive events jumbled up with time distract your attention from that pain..things are bound to happen, one cannot avoid it, and when difficult situations are happening, just let them happen, keep your calm, be a mere observer and let them pass by..they'll teach you in the long run..Again, the saying proves itself, "no pain, no gain"..Bear the pain, be thankful for the pain you've received, take it as a blessing in disguise, brave through it, don't fight it..take a long drive, play some music or engross yourself in any task without thinking anything, if pain disturbs, say to it, "I'll give you your time, let me finish this..", and by the time you're free, pain is gone!
Just give it a try..Life's for living..Who knows which coming moment is the last one?

Keep surprising...it's life!

Sometimes a pensive mood can make you dull and boring, and at times you just press a 'push' button of yourself to make yourself keep going. Some times it works, at other times you may scold your self saying, "Oh, let me be what I am at the moment..."..to feel the feeling, good or bad and accept it from the heart, relieves a lot of stress of unnecessarily keeping yourself normal... Meditating on such hopeless thoughts, I drove past familiar lanes of the city trying to read each and every sign board at the red lights which normally I either just assumed or ignored their existence...I diverted my stream of thoughts to make myself realize asking,  am I not blessed enough to breathe at this moment, am I not healthy at this moment, to see this day where people are around me, no matter they are strangers to me, still to be surrounded by humans, is it not fair enough..this city in which I dwell since last ten years, is it not my own..

Such thoughts slowly drove me out of my previous mood and I decided to grab some fun from the next hour before fetching my son from his sports class. It took me not much time in finding a music teacher's residence which I had somehow remembered in a corner of my brain, and this now proved helpful. Fifteen minutes later I was again back driving pleased with my enrollment in a new hobby class...

Life's beautiful, keep surprising yourself..despite so many shortcomings and sorrows it's worth enjoying and having fun..I think we all deserve our share..don't you think the same?
