Be Positive

It happened yesterday. In the overcrowded canteen, I was sitting all alone on a table, enjoying my sandwich.

I was engrossed in my eating and than somebody asked "Can I join you?".
"NO" (how rude I can be?).

"I am sorry, I thought you asked me 'Is somebody joining you'..
You may please take the seat", I corrected.

The most often question in the canteen asked to me in such situation "Is anybody joining you" and I am so used to saying "NO".

Most questions asked to us, has a negative answer and we are so used to answer in negative, that without pondering on the questions our answer is "NO".

I realized that questions can be asked to get a positive reply. Infact years back, in my audit days, I had a practice of positive speaking or writing. I mean I restricted the usage of words like "not", "didn't" "doesn't"...I have realized the difference then and now
Then, I did not worry about happenings
Now, smallest event makes me worries
Then, I enjoyed every single minute
Now, I lack time for myself
Then, Laughter, happiness, satisfaction
Now, displeasure, frustration,
We make choices...

We decide to be negative or BE POSITIVE

Today, its about this kid (not to mention kids are always cute and lovable) and his mother. The first look at the kid and his mother was they hail from poor family. The kid must be a year old and crying with pain and mother tried to calm him down. I thought its normal and didn't bother to look beyond. I kept chanting my daily prayers without much diversions. As my station neared, I went to the door. Its my habit to stand first and get out of the local, as early to avoid the rush on the over bridge (all efforts to save my 5 minutes). The mother was standing behind me with the kid. She wanted to get off at the same station as mine. As I turned to the kid, I saw sparkle of mischief in those red eyes and as I turned more towards him I noticed that

A year passed by

A year passed by... With so many travels to India and back, I am exhausted. So many functions and events, some good, some bad, some as they should have been some not. So many lives touched, many new people met, shared some thoughts, shared many memories... A year passed by... When I look back, I am back to the same state where I started a year back.. but empty handed. A year passed by... I am back to square one

Faith

From the subscription of my daily dose of " What do you think of God wants You to Know ? " On this day of your life, we believe God wants you to know ... that faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty. Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, - that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive!
