SMALL PLEASURES

Small pleasures



   Indeed life isn't easy but who said it was going to be easy ? It's a road full of ups and downs and as we call it a road, we should know that bumps are bound to be there. For some its a little bumper than others but then that's called life ! However, it's unfair to complain about things we don't have or have lost without appreciating all that we got in return but in hustle of this busy life we all forget to thank the almighty for whatever he did give us. What I at times find ironic is that we're too busy to appreciate what we have, yet have ample time to complain about what we have don't!



Everyday I get up early complaining about why do I have early morning classes and why can't my classes just start at 12 everyday and end in the evening? And then on those days when my classes start in the afternoon and linger on till evening, I find myself whining how the teacher ruined my perfect evening. And it's not only me,every one I come across is complaining about one thing or the other. Jumping out of the bed, I look around and find hundreds of things that could have been better but can't seem to find something perfect even though it's overloaded with clothes already ! I spend my day cribbing about things, how the teacher took a surprise quiz, gave two assignments at a time which are due tomorrow, gave less marks to me on my project and more to the one who copied and it goes on ! While I m complaining about hundred things around me, I come across all types of people from all ages and phases of life who aren't content with what life has given them. Some whine about being fat, some aren't happy with short hair, while others complain their long hair are such a mess and difficult to handle and then we find those who grumble about being short while the rest are shy of being tall. We hear the cliched statement, "oh I would be the happiest person alive if I had your hair,height or figure". And we all know nobody is the happiest person because it's human nature not to be content with what you have, one keeps asking for more.
The day ends and I tell myself how every thing is unfair. I close my eyes hoping tomorrow will be better and it's the same ! Life will continue to be unfair until I change my approach ! And then one day I change the way I look at things around me only to realize everything is just so beautiful ! I get up early morning and see the pleasant weather and the sun shining through the clouds, I open my wardrobe and thank almighty for the extravagant wardrobe that I have and pull out a funky dress to wear. I spend my day appreciating the small blessings in life and realize how a positive approach makes life easier for me! I get done at whatever time and spend time with friends. With them I realize I have people to lean on to, to enjoy with, to laugh with, and to have fun with !

All in all ,in today's busy life we are too caught up with things to enjoy the simple pleasures life has to offer , which we fail to notice. Take out time to enjoy the rain and sip a coffee while watching the rain pour down, listen to the songs that take you back to the time you first heard them.

THINGS THAT WE LEARN FROM THE NIGHT CIRCUS

Image
  THINGS THAT WE LEARN FROM "THE NIGHT CIRCUS"        T he Night Circus  is a phantasmagorical fairy tale set near an ahistorical Victorian London in a wandering magical circus that is open only from sunset to sunrise.  Le Cirque des Rêves  (The Circus of Dreams) features such wonders and "ethereal enigmas" as a blooming garden made all of ice, acrobats soaring without a net, and a vertical cloud maze where patrons who get lost simply step off and float gently to the floor. The circus has no set schedule, appearing without warning and leaving without notice; they travel in a train disguised as an ordinary coal transport. A network of devoted fans styling themselves  "rêveurs"  ("dreamers") develops around the circus; they identify to each other by adding a splash of red to garb that otherwise matches the characteristic black and white of the circus tents. The magical nature of the circus is occluded under the guise of legerd...

POSITIVE QUOTES

                     POSITIVE QUOTES    "People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." " If you are working on something that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you."
