Feel It, Love It, Live It

The Dilbert Future Prediction having occupied my mind and brain for the past few days, I thought I needed a break urgently. I decided to hang out for a while with my gang. So, decked up in my possible best just to elevate my drooping spirit, I did my hair with the newly found hair styling mousse and decided on the almost new stilettos. I did not want to have yet another bad hair day like the last one I had. The mall is just a walking distance from my house and I, as a part of my latest venture towards go green and save the earth thing, I decided to kick of the CO2 habit somewhat. I started walking, I started to feel good.

It was a beautiful evening with the breeze sweeping me off and the nice fragrance of whatever flowers around, I was having a nice stroll I thought. And guess what, all of a sudden, the deceptive clear sky started signs of black patches and almost momentarily it became dark and started drizzling. Even before I could reach the shade, which was only a minute or two away, it started to downpour. I thought it was the most heinous conspiracy against my pretty will.

The weather men never warned us against it. But then what even if they did? Invariably they would go the round about way to touch the eyes and then want us to believe that it's the ears! I have stopped blaming them long back. Most people have.

My friends who were running late decided to abort my over enthusiastic rendezvous and never turned up. They were reluctant in the first place. It was my insistence that had forced them somewhat. They were happy, they had their ways.

The rain never stopped after that and I managed to stand under a make shift shade and watched the drops getting bigger and felt their weight on my feet, making my shoes sob on their destiny. It was off putting. Yes, initially it was. But soon, out of some amazing thing that kind of surrounded me at that point in time, I realized that this shouldn't happen, I mustn't let this go! I sat down on a bench together with an unknown bunch and started to watch the most inconspicuous thing that would soon turn into cannot-describe kinda-thing. Soon I started to love it. It soaked the heat, absorbed the unbearable mugginess and went on to cool the earth. Two of the thrilled benchers went inside the mall and brought some munchies and fuming hot tea cupped in the earthy pots. We were like having a party time - monsoon party, full of joy - a happiness that transcended all shackles, a sense of togetherness that I never felt with the strangers in the weirdest of places. I came back after an hour or so, completely drenched, the rain having swept me off my vanity had left me awestruck. I could only thank that providence.

And as I got down to write this, I realize that if we could get into whatever happens in life and love it the way it comes, we could, most definitely, most certainly, enjoy it a little better. We should try to enjoy the little little things in life that make it so lovable, so special and so unique.

So guys, feel the moment, love the moment, take the challenge and appreciate the current situation you are in and most importantly live it.
(I need this more than anybody else on earth.....geez)

Good luck!
