The time I discovered I could do something I had been afraid of doing before.

   An ancient legend says that nobody comes out of the womb of the mother into this world all prepared.This world,thus,is a ground to learn and explore.Some are quick learners while others are slow and thus lag behind.The latter goes for me.I feel I am not among those who get the job done in the first go.That is why,I botch up every task.
  Apart from all of my other weak areas,everybody perceives me as a total bloke when it comes to public speaking.Adrenaline comes out every time in such an exorbitant amount that I couldn't handle the situation and in the midst of the chills and stammers caused,my speech gets screwed.My colleagues used to pester me a lot.I never showed any feelings of hatred neither did they show any sign of remorse.But,deep down,I detested them.Their abilities of speaking confidently made me invidious.I couldn't help it.I could sense the schadenfreude among everybody.
   However,these days passed somehow.I didn't hold onto the past and had moved on.I guess that is why I finally overcame my fear of public speaking.I was leaving my school.Actually,my class was to be given farewell that year,as we had to join college,and leave the school.The night of the farewell came.Everybody was clad in formal attire,including myself.Tuxedos and formal dresses have always been the vogue of every farewell party.The coiffures all around were unique and eye-catching.The series of events went by quite smoothly.The dance part was so overwhelming that I was taken away by its effects.I danced like anything.It was somewhat involuntary.

   It made me feel strange but free.This feeling prolonged so much so,that I realized I had given a whole two minute long speech.I just couldn't believe that I didn't bungle this time.Those two minutes meant everything to me.They were my life-changers.I had finally got a voice,worth using.It redounded to my personality.

   It was a fremd day for me.I had done what I feared once.Now I could face the supercilious people who used to laugh at me.I had been waddling in a quagmire of troubles caused due to this fear which I overcame and thus,I finally came out of it.My time at my alma mater was more of a slog.I managed not to give up and thus I finally succeeded in overcoming what I feared to do the most.

Life Is Impermanent

Life – an impermanent amalgam of joy, pain, grievances, tragedies, achievements, moments of pride, ups and downs, rise and fall of people, things and times. We develop different perceptions about life along the journey ourselves, learning from our experiences along the way. Life is beautiful. Life is hard. Life can be a torture for someone. Not everyone has the same fate and not everyone is positive about their future. Our hopes are fragile, they can be easily lost by incidents and constant setbacks if one is not strong. If we accept that life is impermanent and that nothing lasts forever. Happiness doesn't last forever. People and possessions come and go like wind at times. As a famous quote by Buddha, "Nothing is forever, except change." Change is inevitable. Life is ever-changing. QuoteFancy We can't hold onto everything that is good. Not even on the things that aren't good, because there's no guarantee if they'll last or not. So, be content...

The Early Good Morning Bliss

Engro Fertilizers Ltd. Management Colony(my hometown) Have you ever gotten the chance of waking up early someday and sitting outside your house, maybe in your lawn or literally some place that doesn't have a roof to itself. I am talking about the time of 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. or before sunrise. The night-light swayed away and the day comes into place slowly and beautifully. The transition is just everything to want for. It's fascinating how that occurs. The serenity and the quietness and the beauty of the moment itself. When you experience it, you break loose of all the world's troubles and issues for an instant and imagine yourself into a world of your own where you are astounded by every sight you take. From the calm of the night, that has reached its temporal eternal end, to birth of the light of the day, the coolness and the blue sky – a beautiful sight. Laying back on a lawn chair at times or moving around the lawn I happened to have experienced this all today...
