A Week So Happening...

This week is going to be a busy one for many reasons. I am finding it difficult to digest how come so many things happening in such a short time. But sorry I can not share everything here. Hope by the end of this I will be able to smile about it.

One important milestone (!) in this week was I started taking lunch to office. That too prepared at home. I was planning this for a long time. One of my roommate has supported it too. Bought a new lunch box and started it from yesterday. It is fun to see those I-can't-believe- it look from colleagues. Hope it will last long.. ;) For the 235 for the lunch box and a new non-scratch scrubber, I got to continue this.

But a big sad news kept all the smiles at bay. My dearest colleague has lost her mom... She was the one always pushing me to bring lunch. I know how close she was to mom... Though she told she had accepted it and happy for mom that she didn't have to struggle, has done the things she always wanted to do... I can feel the tears in her voice... I don't know how I will face her on Monday. May God rest the soul in peace...

The Real Courage..

What it takes the most courage...
I believe it is to admit that others are / can be right or they can do things which you can never think of... Do I need to explain... The first thing we need to win to enjoy life and appreciate others is ego. But that, most often will decide and dictate what you have to do... And then, we oversee the other point of view. It is ok to have an expectation and plan of things in our life. But when we try to judge others our way, things will go havoc... Why should we let that happen to our life.. Judge things and people after you know them, and never stick with the first impression. It can be the most stupid thing at times.

Open up your mind. Please let yourself know that others are also smart, they can take right decisions and plan well. They might saw something that you haven't. They may be just thinking ahead of you... So appreciate them and like the courage they have to think and do different. Just because others are not following what we expect them to be, doesn't mean that they are wrong... Good Luck...

It's Easy To Make People Happy....

Yes, you read it right. And it was confirmed when I was chatting with my cyber friend tonight. 'I must say that it boosted up my morale quite a bit and I went to bed giggling and laughing (to myself). ' That was she wrote about it... And that too when she herself thinks her life is screwed up... I checked the chat history twice and didn't find anything extra ordinary there... Hhmmm... That was funny.

So what exactly makes people happy... It is not a costly gift or a cruise. Just let them know you love them, care about them. And that is easy. Just tell yourself how good they are to you and what it will be without them... Small things are the best happy recipes. When I read a story in Reader's Digest, When Was The Last Time You Said I Love You To Your Mother, I was touched. It was about not to wait for the last moment to kiss your mom and all. After reading it, ( I was in college away from home ) next time when I was leaving for college after weekend, I told mom I love you. To my surprise after a pose she said she love me too. And that was touching. Her eyes were wet. Even now when I tell her I love her, or dad how much I miss him, I know it makes them happy, because they know that they are wanted. Is it difficult to let them know they are loved....

When you love someone tell them, show them you love them. Get them small gifts.. Smile, give a warm hug or pat on back, laugh with them. Share the memories of good old times you had with them.... It all calls for long lasting happiness.

I felt proud, I made my friend go to bed smiling. And that was not a tough thing to do either... And tonight I am going to bed Smiling, content... And hey, it is easy to make people happy....
