You are not as dumb as you look !!

While I was coming to work, something just shot into my mind from the memory lanes.
There was a cricket match between the Sri Lankans and Zimbabweans at the Harare Sports Club. Looking back hard I remember it was a Test Match. I was part of the Sports Club guys who had some duties assigned. One of them was the checking the right people are entering in the tobbacco stands, which were meant for the few privileged. There were tickets which were had a certain stamp. People with those tickets were only allowed inside.

The problem was, some of the clever ones, were passing on the same ticket to their friends, once they entered inside the stands from the sides. So we had to come with some thing that would do away with these kind of things. I simply blurted out, we can tear that stamped portion and keep it with us. It was the most obvious thing to me as well as the first thing that came to my mind. It actually was a good idea also.

And pat came the reply:

"Good Idea, You are not dumb as you look !!"

Its hard to say GoodBye !!!

Is it hard to Say GoodBye ??

It is harder for the person who is staying behind then compared for the person who is leaving. No doubt the person who is leaving, does feel the pain of parting, but the pain is subdued by the fact that there is something else for which he is leaving. There is something else which is going to replace what he had present. Though the replacement may not fill the shoes completely, but atleast there is something else to look forward to. There is always that anticipation, which occupies the mind of the person. The 'What's in store' clouds the mind.

But for the person who is staying behind, for the person, who has to continue as if nothing happened, it may not be the same story. There is nothing more added only removed. There are no reasons for the anticipation to be driven, there are no next stops. Usually the person feels a void which is left after someone leaves, which is not present in the first case. It has been filled temporary with the feeling of going on to the next stop. That euphoria, which arises when you move to some place new, to some place afresh, to some you have been looking forward to.

The Festival of Colors --> Life !!!

Its Holi soon, the festival of colors and
God must be a Painter, why else he would have so many colors in life !!
( A Beautiful Mind )

So enjoy every color in the spectrum, and choose your favorite color to wear. The Rainbow is an interesting thing, it is not tangiable, but we all can see it. It shows all the colors in the spectrum, so that you can choose yours and also it allows you to find out the reason behind the choice.

Don't let the pollution spoil your rainbow, so that your rainbow is only a few colors, because pollution makes things grow black and gray. And certainly you don't want your rainbow to show you shades of gray!!

Well life is about doing many things, and doing things which you like, because its too short to do things which you don't like (duh!! everyone knows that ).
But it doesn't mean that you decide things you don't like, without giving it a fair chance. Life is not about being happy, its about not having any regrets. Happiness and Sorrow are all part of life which make it so wonderful. Infact, you need sorrow in life to appreciate how valuable happiness is.

So wish you a very bright, colorful and joyous Holi, and that you celebrate Holi, in your own special way each day !!

Wishes for the Festival of Holi to You and Your Family !!

And yes I hope you Dance !!
