Smile Coz You Are Worth It !

Facing the struggles, juggling with tasks,

Frowning all day , taking the flak;

Still life is always a path brightly lit,

Smile coz you are worth it.

People come and go, a few become close,

A couple change into foes; Some go amiss;

But friends stay with you till the hilt,

Smile coz you are worth it.

There are good days , bad days but some remain a mystery,

There would be days you question your sanity;

You may cry, scream , laugh, abuse and hit,

But Smile Coz you are worth It.

Smile is the shortest distance between two people,

And with the inner child, a part of your soul;

Who goes deep in hiding with every tear and frown,

Who looks for that smile to peep out -

So Smile coz 'YOU' are worth it!

Rachita’s Reflections – on bitching?

I just logged into my own blog account and found O my god…I haven’t written anything new in more than a month. Now this is not because I am lazy (I have already dealt with that rumour in one of my posts earlier), and not also that there was a lack of topics around. I mean think of cricket mania, Our world Cup win, Anna Hazare, year end work pressure, my eccentric friends, the great ME and so on , there are just so many juicy topics for me to have written about. But I didn’t. Or to be a little truthful (and I am an honest person) I didn’t want to. You see I had promised myself that I would write atleast 'one' post each week and knowing myself I knew sooner or later I would break this promise. It’s just that last month or so was very dull and I didn’t feel like doing anything interesting. Coz I was busy proving to myself that I am not happy. In the process add a bout of illness and you have the perfect recipe for a roadblock to everything in life.

So, the dear great RACHITA was reclining in her little unhappy world closing any door to express herself , closing all windows of exchange and then cribbing that no body cares about me, enough to ask what’s wrong.

So what made me write today, actually I came out of this self created mess last weekend but since then have been busy putting things in order. When you stop caring about what is good in your life – family , close friends, those moments when you are happy , that cool breeze which caresses you when you step out, that yummy meal your mom cooked to see you smile, that phone call your friend made just to show that “I am there”, that nice dress you look great in - and get busy in noticing all that is going wrong, you let go of all that you have so painstakingly organised in your life. And once the chaos begins, it increases at an alarmingly rate and before you realize you are in deep %^&@ . Now what to do when you reach that moment of realization?

Do what I did – meet an old friend and bitch about everything and everyone to your heart’s content. After you have abused all the people you feel responsible for putting you in this mess , you suddenly feel a weight lighting off your shoulders. Those minutes or maybe hours of bitching make you feel better and great. I won’t name you dear friend ( not sure if you want me to reveal your name) but thank you for listening to me. You see, I had not even put any status message on FB since our World Cup Win , now that was intolerable. So everyone one of you, who is taking out your precious time to read this can understand my panic. That’s why that pure, unbridled session of bitching opened my eyes to all the good things that had become invisible under the coat of my self inflicted misery. (Bitching Tip : I trust my friend to keep my language to herself so ensure when you bitch , the partner in “crime” is trustworthy).

Going through this unnecessary period of semi depression I can say with some authority – Life gives you choice to look at things that are good and that are not good. Ensure that your choice makes you happy. It’s all about that half filled glass of water and serenity to accept that everything may not be as per your wish list. But still if you fall into the trap – Do what I did – Bitching session with a close and like minded friend.

P.S I am a little disappointed - my dictionary is not updated with latest abuses, felt very backward in the session. Care to help me a bit?
