Compliment Smells Fishy..!!

I find a lot of people longing to hear good words about themselves, just a few words or lines in their admiration makes them do almost anything for you. I belong to the second set of people. Our class of people are different as in we suspect each and every compliment made to you as a trap thrown just to get you caught. I know this may not be the right attitude towards people who are genuinely praising you. But then, this is how the world is now-a-days. Every word of admiration gives me a feeling of suspicion about the intention of the person who just spoke it. 

In today's mean world, where most people don't even waste a minute in talking to somebody without any reason or self gain, why would somebody spend a minute or two just to come to you and say nice things?

However, as they say, A Compliment a Day, Keeps the Blues Away..Certainly a compliment makes you feel a little good about yourself. But continuously re-analyzing yourself to keep up with those honey coated words is a real challenge. September had been a great month to me in that regard. Lots of people have been throwing away lots of nice & sweet words to flatter me..Thank you guys, I would try to take all of them positively..

Why do we all die to live, when we actually live to die..!!

It’s been a while since we, humans, last felt the air of content moving through the surface of our body, penetrating deep within our souls, healing the bruises and scars which were unattended for quite a long time now. All that we keep thinking of all the time is ‘Oh Man..!! I achieved this …What’s Next on the list to conquer..!!’.

Life is not a race to be won, an exam to be in the topper’s list, a brutal battle to fight for each and every day, Why can’t we keep things simple? Why don’t we just let this Life be nothing else but Life. What’s wrong in that name? I feel it sounds great this way.

For instance:

When a newly born baby is still toddling with the sunshine smile on his face, someone would not fail to make a remark with that grin on his face ‘Enjoy your childhood as much as you can, it’s just the beginning, you have lots to face and miles to go’.

When a freshman joins a company in which you are working right now, whether your workplace is good or not or the thought that person you just met with is friendly or not will be the second one on the list. The first thing which will pop up in your mind is either ‘Welcome to hell, come and screw yourself  as I do every day..!!’ or ‘ Does not he think too much of himself, an over-smart and overrated chap..!!’

In both the examples just narrated above, be it that sweet innocent child of Christ or the new colleague of yours in the later part

He might not understand what you just said to yourself or thought of while looking at him but don’t you think he is human too. We all keep blowing the trumpet of body language, comprising the 80% of all modes of human to human communication. Believe me if that is the case, you just gave someone, a reason to have an Err..!! feeling too.

Try to look at each morning with a rejuvenated spirit of love and an everlasting deep sense of human emotion, which would make life simple, smooth and easy. I will conclude it with the following lines, extremely close to my heart:

A ray of hope,

took me through

the zigzag row,

where a drop of dew,

smiles with the silvery luster

Just hope, one day

that sunshine serene

will lit up your face

and let it glow..!!

Think beyond the domain of losing and winning, even the sweetest of all wines would lose its taste, the prettiest flower will give up life one day, for each and everything is mortal with a manufacturing and expiry date of every joy, sorrow, emotion and not to forget, life as well.
