A NEW ME......!

A new year has opened up bringing along so many different possibilities of fun, masti, time pass, success, hard work, achievements, friends, happiness and some sorrow. It has just started and it has already thrown my way some good and bad moments.

A nascent leaf has just taken life. The pale green colour, the beauty that it withholds, it is wonderful. Its delicate structure, its vulnerability, its many possibilities can never be explained in words. A dew drop on this tiny leaf, the early morning rays penetrating this tiny being, one cannot ever fully describe such beauty. Words fall short.

Life in this New Year is just like this dew drop, dancing and playing lightly on the edges of the tiny leaf. As the rays penetrate it, it can either shine brightly, in happiness. Or it can slide down and SHATTER into innumerable and uncountable smaller drops adding much more meaning to life.

There have been so many wondrous moments after 2008 has rolled in that my life has been colored with bright shades. And the few bad moments that had been thrown in, that shattered me, have added a darker hue to my life. But these worse moments have mingled so beautifully with the brighter and much happier moments that they have painted a much more meaningful picture of my life.

The brighter shades have so very much overcome the darker shades that even in the presence of these dark hues, the portrait of my life seems lively with colors.

And I am only very happy to acknowledge and understand this NEW ME…! A girl who otherwise might have appeared to be depressed and heartbroken, shattered and sorrow-struck, is now smiling and happy inspite of the situation she is in!

I have just fallen deeply in love with this new girl, the NEW ME…..!

The past year has taught me 2 important lessons –

• However close you get to anyone, keep enough distance. Don’t suffocate and kill them with so much love, care and affection that they run away from you.

• Every individual has a particular role to play in your life, once he/she is done with that, he/she will not remain with you. How much ever you try to keep them, they will move away to lead their own life. You can’t tie them to you. In fact don’t even try to tie them, it will only bring you hurt and pain. Thank them for all that they have given to you and wish them the best in their life and let them go.
