Its a beautiful world

Journal Entry #1

It comes as a blessing to the nature, cleansing it of all the dust and dirt. The most beautiful thing that i can think of on a rainy day, are the leaves of a tree. How many times do we stop and take some time out of our apparently "very busy" life to look at these beautiful living things dancing and rejoicing to the music of the raindrops.

Today was a beautiful day. No, nothing unexpected or unusual happened, but i had an unusually nice experience. Let me tell you, it is fun to take a metro ride in the pouring rain. People find it irritating at times, I do too at times, all the rain drenched grumpy looking people stacked together like a flock of sheep into one compartment, it can get on your nerves at times, but today, i tried to enjoy it for once. 

As i stood there near the door and observed the compartment, i saw few very interesting things. The first were a group of office goes, all irritated and grumpy about the weather, their wet clothes, and, well with anything that came close to them. Second were the stops. Every time the doors of the train opened, the on-boarding passengers-all drenched or equipped with wet umbrellas where greeted with utter disgust.

But here is the most interesting thing i observed. In one corner of the compartment, a kid, about 10 years old was seated next to a young lady, who looked pretty annoyed with the current conditions, and on top of that, at every two minutes, the little kid would shake his head, spraying some water on the lady, adding to her irritation. Then he would look up at his victim, with a big smile and a innocent glow in his eyes. The lady kept making an irritated face to make him stop, but our little trouble maker kept on enjoying himself.

Its funny; this life. We get so busy with trying to get what we want, in trying to get to the top of the food chain, that we forget how much we enjoy having fun. Irritation becomes our default instinct to everything.

But, stop. 

Think. 

You will see that the very world we keep blaming all the time for making our lives dull, is trying so very hard to make you smile.
