relationships
"When the heart is open, colour and difference of culture do not make a difference. What binds humanity together is empathy, the silent chord that knots not only humans with humans but also the animal world. The flute is a hollow piece of bamboo till air is breathed into it, and then it emits the most beautiful of melodies, so also humans live only when they feel for others, their pain and try to remedy the same...otherwise it is a flesh and bone story."

Story - Never lose your Real Self
I liked giving surprises to people close to my heart on their birthdays, to keep watching their car going till they become invisible to me, to enjoy early mornings, to dance in the rain (alone or with my family and friends), to be alone at home sometimes, to keep on appreciating the beauty of nature, in fact get engrossed in its beauty, to get emotionally attached to anyone, to win others etc. etc.. But since childhood I have never ever found a single fellow who was slightly like me...so I thought I am kind of abnormal and stupid person who does all these things. I thought I am wrong, and others are right. Consequently, this faulty learning about myself made me follow others and I lost myself...the real "me".
The complications I faced after this were confused state of mind, less of emotional bonds, inability to express my love, care and affections for others, frustrations. Above all my personality was somehow transformed from an extrovert to an introvert, which is basically not acceptable by the society.
But then, after 7 years or so, I got this friend of mine, my best friend, not just a best friend, more than that...who was exactly like me, as I was in my past. On observing her minutely, I realised that I was not the only abnormal and stupid being in this world; she too was. She liked giving surprises to loved ones, to keep watching their car going till it became invisible, to enjoy the weather early morning, to dance in the rain, to be alone at home, to appreciate nature and so on.
Very few people around you value such small yet mighty things. Very few people have astonishing insights into their lives. Very few people love to have rewards in kind rather than in cash. I realised that I am one of those few people. Sometimes I feel God send her in my life to have self awareness; and may be He has sent me to make you realise that you are unique in your own way; recognise it, cherish it and always be comfortable in your own skin.

Can't Understand What Makes People Arrogant?
If you are b'ful, you become arrogant. If you are rich, or have a rich father, you become arrogant. If you are famous, you become arrogant. If you have high intellectual powers, you become arrogant. Even if you are religious, you become arrogant.
I dont understand why??? If you look pretty, if you have sharp facial features, then is it you who has created the exterior? Have you yourself drawn your figure and it became stunning?If you are rich and famous, then are you the only person in this world to whom such blessings have been bestowed upon?
If you are intelligent, does that mean there is a non-existence of any other intelligent fellow on this earth?
If you are religious and visit holy places regularly, you start thinking highly of yourself and feel that you are the only moral being alive. But can you say that you are equally spiritual?
Well, the answer to these questions is NO. It is GOD who has given you marvellous beauty. YOu are the creation of God. It is god who has helped you to be laborious which further helps you to amass wealth. If you are the topper of any university, then mind it there were many toppers who have passed out and will pass out. God has given equal powers to many, if not all.
Though god has given you everything, yet it is you who become arrogant and ostentatious. I wonder if GOD can become proud (and not arrogant) of HIs creations...because our arrogance, superiority feelings, jealously will never ever allow god to feel happy about what He has Made ...
