A Fresh Look at Life....

When the eyes are dreary and drained,
and the days are spinning like circles around the same centres,
All it takes to change the ambience is
A fresh look at what we find around us....
Carpe Diem!!!

So refreshingly easy to think so, it feels like the easiest thing one could ever do. Taking a deep breath of fresh air from the neighbourhood park , kicking the stone on the road, I feel like I have just given life another chance to resurface in front of me, this time only to be more invigorating, exciting and inviting!!! But life is such a bad learner that there are hardly any changes worth expecting. What seems like a distinct possibility of life turning a corner and bouncing back, all it does is change the mirrors we look in, paint up a superficial canvas depicting happiness and hopes to cheer us up. But little does it realise that we humans are hungry souls. And suspicious ones to add to the agony! We seldom accept good feelings and great times without a care for scrutinizing the motives and speculating the 'behind the curtain' reasons.... Seldom do we chose to accept the reality that , given the sadness, disappointments, tribulations, maladies and melancholies, life does sometimes spring up spurts of fresh happiness like the dew on clean petals of jasmine after a night of chill . Oh the ubiquitous human nature afterall!!!

But can't we change? Can't we atleast try to change? Can't we just close our eyes for once and get lost in the sweet music of life and forget our pain & anger and get ourselves intoxicated in the sweet bliss of nature? Can't we just hold life's fingers and let it lead us into tomorrow without a care of suspicion or reason? Can't we become like the toddlers who enjoy the feeling of being tossed into the air without a care of what happens at the other end of the joy-ride, if no one catches them in their arms? Come on.... Let's try for once to be what we were!! Let's go back to the yesterday and try to be the same forever.... Oh what bliss!!

And when I am all done with the tasks of the day, its so relaxing to sit back in an empty office with the lights dimmed. It makes me feel like I have just hogged centrestage with spotlight on me. As though the world sits in silence anticipating a masterpiece from me. Its as thought the silence around me depicts the audience waiting in waited breath for an act so austere ,so original that which can create an aura of brilliance, an ambience of creativity and a world of happiness all around!!! Its time to start my act..... Watch this space!!!
