The Colour of Life..!!

This one is a very abstract, out of the box thinking but I liked it this way, it gave me immense pleasure and hope it will impress you as well.

Recently I was at a medical shop to buy some medicines. One of calcium and other of vitamin. One strip was of oval shape, navy blue colour and the tablet too was of the same colour. Other was a regular white colour strip. Also, I had a seen a yellow colour strip with a nice yellow colour tablet inside. And there are many such medicines (as in tablets and capsules) which come in a very tempting packing, colour and shape. It looks very tempting to the eyes, very colourful.

Medicines give us life in our worst condition. It helps us in innumerable ways. Of course, excess intake of some is bad for health but leaving aside the negative effect of it, I look at it as a colourful substance, meaning, life is very much colourful. It’s a package which comes in different colour, shape, form, size and taste, so why not enjoy every bit of life? Why not make it colourful, positive and live it the way we should? In everyone’s life, there are and will be moments which will be as tasteless or bitter in taste like some medicines, but then, you can’t run away from it, can you? No, you have to face it, and once the phase is over, everything will restore back, just like having a bitter tablet and after a while, we get rid of that taste, may be the taste will laste longer than expected or like forever, but still, some way or the other, at least for some time, you will get rid of that taste.

Life is very precious. I don’t know with what intentions do companies make medicines so full of variety but this is the message I want to take from it.

Take life in a positive way… Enjoy life fully… Let off the bitter things… and then, life will be very beautiful…!!

Gulmohar teaches

Nature is a great teacher. If we look around ourselves and do not learn from nature, we must be blind to ignore the lessons of the omnipresent. While every single petal, every single leaf is a lesson in itself, one lesson that appeals to me the most is the lesson of the gulmohar tree. Here is a story: He was scolded by his parents for disrupting his sleep cycle. He felt dejected. He felt angry. He didn’t want to wait for a single second in the house. He didn’t want to let his parents know that he would be away for some time. Grabbing the key of his scooter, he softly closed the door and left. To make sure his parents don’t notice anything, he pulled his scooter to the end of the lane, and when out of earshot, he switched on the ignition. After god knows how much time of riding, he spotted a field. It was nearly 6pm and the sun’s rays looked like melted gold on the green grass. He parked his scooter and sat down under a gulmohar tree. He looked up at the six feet tall tree. His eyes gli...

The best advice I’ve ever received.

How many times has it happened that we have received a lot of advice and suggestions? Many times I believe. To add to it, many of these are similar to each other in some cases yet the point is: why is it that only some drive home the message? I guess there are surrounding factors to it. Maybe the experience we may be going through or the context in which we receive the advice… There is a lot of advice I’ve received but this one has stayed with me like no other advice. All of us were once a student and we have been there, done that: we have been typical students at a point in time. During my master's, I was facing some issues with one of the subjects (typical student problems ;)). As usual, we were playing the blame game and yes, you guessed it right, the blame was on the teacher and her teaching skills. A genuine and helping person that she was, we were concerned with her teaching skills at that point in time. We were standing next to the door of our classroom cribbing about ho...

How did I start cycling?

It has been a year that I have taken to cycling. At this point, I would like to share how I got into it. Many would obviously guess that I started cycling for weight loss and considering the way I look now, it is but natural to guess so. But honestly, I started cycling because my mother wanted my life to be better! Mothers do have unconditional love and the power of that love is unparalleled. It all started somewhere in June of 2020. My mother consulted an astrologer regarding my future. The astrologer suggested that I should visit a nearby Hanuman Temple for one and a half months. The people who know me know that I am not a fan of God and visiting temples is not my thing. Yet there are some things that a person does for his family. Initially hesitant, I agreed to the above suggestion. This is because it gives them peace of mind about their son’s future. Initially, I went to the temple on my scooter. Given the pandemic, temples were closed. I just had to go, pray from outside and...
