Different Strangers..

Isn’t it so good to have a friend, who was a stranger to you earlier?

A stranger, you never thought would be your best friend. You just meet that person, and bang on. There is a click between you both. If you really feel lonely and that time you get to share your feelings with someone like stranger. That person becomes important to you.

A stranger first becomes a friend then the most important part of your life. This is a FRIENDLY STRANGER.

But have you ever encountered with a situation where your best friend becomes a complete stranger to you. I have, and it feels horrible. The person you knew since last so many years or just a few and held an importance in your life is now nothing to you. Once you just loved talking to that person and now you don’t even want to ask a question too. Even if that question is regarding your work, your benefit. These according to me are KNOWN STRANGERS.

Ever been in a relationship, a relationship where both the girl and the boy love each other. But something goes wrong. All the promises, all the swears are broken. Those moments you both shared are tend to be forgotten. They can’t be friends as they hurt each other. They can’t be enemy as they love each other. They are FAMILIAR STRANGERS.

But think of it, all these strangers teach us something. friendship, love and concern. They teach us to move on, life is moving and we don’t have to stop if we lose someone. So if you lose someone and you miss that person, you may cry. It’s ok to cry. But when you cry for that person make sure you have cried it all and you’ll not cry again. As you are precious for someone may be just a stranger you haven’t recognized.

The past may be the past but that won’t change the fact that u r no longer in contact with that person. You don’t need to forgive that person but need to forget that person.

So forget the past, clear you eyes and look around. May be you’ll find a stranger just around the corner…

Sisterhood

People who don’t have sisters have no clue about what’s involved. They would never understand the crazy love behind the disastrous arguments between us after which we turn around and laugh our heads off. We have dreamed of all the fun things to do together and even some which we aren’t supposed to do. The strong bond is because of those troubles we have given each other and that we have lived through it together. When I look back on our times at home she is such an important part of my memories. She has already given me a year’s glimpse of life without her and so I already have an idea about what my life would have been like without her. 

I still remember the first time I took her in my hands. I don’t remember the moment clearly but when I look at photographs taken of that December new year night I feel more grown up and protective towards my little darling. She is just 3 years younger to me and can now very well take care of her self and of people around her but for me she‘ll always be that little kid who needs a finger’s support to walk.

We’ve pushed each other’s buttons and vented out each other's feelings and emotions. We’ve laughed and shared and been the special best friends. We have stood for each other as well as against each other at times. But these are just few reasons we know each other so well now.I would always cherish the days and nights I have spent with her once I get busy with my graduation and career.

At times when we get scolded by our parents we rush to our room and start sharing our thoughts. And next moment we forget about everything and start playing; pushing each other off the bed, tickle each other till the other gives up. I have always tried to protect her as much as I could and I find she is more open to me now as compared to 1 year back when she didn’t go to hostel (just for an experience).

I would never be able to understand her. She is a very energetic girl as compared to others of her age yet she sits patiently to play almost all the mind games. We are like two poles of magnet. She is a bit conservative when it comes to wardrobe selection whereas I wear what I feel like which may be mini shorts as well. I mix around with new people in one go whereas she takes time. She is more of a homely person; she’ll do all the chores of the house. But I like to go to markets and would bring all the things our mum would have listed from the grocery.

People who don’t have sister have no way of comprehending the love that permanently connects our hearts, because a sister is one of life’s unique experiences and I wouldn’t trade what we share for anything…..

Change and the world changes

"Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation"
- By Robert F. Kennedy

Change, what does change means?
If we look into the dictionary, Change is the process of altering; a substitution; a transformation; to make or become different; to exchange; to transform.

If one thinks negatively, he would also see the world negatively. He won't notice the few things which makes others happy. The coming of spring season...a new born baby...a newly married couple. He would rather think of negative things behind it like going of one season...the problems with the future of new born baby....or the bride leaving her own family. This person would also spread negativity around him. But if one thinks positively he would have a different and positive way of seeing the world. He would find happiness in anything and everything around him, may it be butterflies or some elderly people in the park. He would think of the spring season coming and the living spirit of the elderly people. He would spread positivity around him. It all depends on the way you tend to see your life and the world. One should never compare his life with others, as he has got no idea what others journey is all about.  One should always see the situation from all sides rather than just thinking about the negative part. A person with many problems in his life would call his life "a problem", but a person who is thinking positively would rather say "life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced". He would learn from his mistakes.

"Everything changes continually. What history is indeed but a record of change. And if there had been a few changes in the past, there would have been little history to write"
- By Jawaharlal Nehru

If Mahatma Gandhi would not have thought positively and would not have taken any step against the Britishers we would still have been ruled by them. Even after so many failures he did not step back and he was keen on getting India its independence.He pursued all the Indians to dream about the golden bird he was dreaming when he took all those steady steps.

Whatever big we see, was started first as a small thing which later grew up into a big thing because of the care and attention given to it. Before we build up a relationship or try to bring out any changes outside us, first we have to do is to have a proper understanding of ourselves. Observing our self in close proximity will point out our deficiency or our strength. When we work out on our deficiency and built up on our strength we start gaining confidence on ourselves. When we gain confidence on ourselves our words, walk, talk,behavior etc all changes and gives a positive look. Now this positive look will start changing the whole relationship slowly, from better to best and we will start shining like a diamond which shines brightly when polished. Our way of looking at things or situations or surroundings we are in, also changes completely.
The most effective approach to bring out lasting change in the world around is to dream big, believe in yourself and your dream. Dreams are the true interpretation of our inclinations but its on us how we sort and understand them. If we want to change the society, the first step should be to change our selves. Without individual transformation societal transformation is impossible.
If one changes his perception towards something and has a positive thought, the world changes for him. Its a better place to live in, to learn from our mistakes and to make others happy.
