Stand on your own, do not borrow the feet!

Sign off in style...

Does the tree shout in gratitude to the clouds that fed it? It rises and looks into the eyes of the skies and says in silence how it was worthy of the love showered. Just like the rain that touches all under its purview, it too replicates by sharing its shade to all under its view. We too shall look into the eyes in the mirror and feel awed for we all shall one day look into the eyes of the maker and say in submission that we too learnt to give and forgive our fellowmen not for what they are but for what we are.

A word for a word, a smirk for a smirk makes us a mirror and nothing more. Then we turn out to live as per the wishes of our association, hoping acceptance and appreciation but losing on the way our true inner transcription. We change to our surroundings but not change our surroundings. Isn’t there a difference between cactus and jasmine? One adopts and the other asserts.

Changing and adopting for better is always desirable and adorable. But what is ‘better’ in this subjective prejudiced web we weave ourselves in? This can only be answered by a thinking mind, an oxymoron in today’s world. GB Shaw in his inimitable style says,"Few people think more than two or three times a year. I've made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week”. In this binary classification of thinkers and non-thinkers, i am striving hard but falling short in crossing over the hurdle, do lead me on!
