Though I’m drowned in work right now, didn’t want to miss this thought…
Sameer and me were talking about this yesterday… that how we can learn even from the smallest things in life.. we went to “The Scary House” in a mall here.. it had some skeletons, scary noises, no light, and some other scary stuff.. and honestly speaking they had done a good job.. but not good enough to scare us 
We were talking to the skeletons all through 
OK..so what was the learning? It was that it’s all in the mind… its how you manage your thought…. so instead of thinking and getting scared about what’s gonna come next in the scary house, all through we kept guessing that now this skeleton should fall or now some hand should clutch…or something and so nothing could really surprise/shock us! And so, the bottom line is that nothing can scare you unless you want to get scared!
Another example for learning from things that might otherwise go unnoticed – In Hindu marriages, there is a custom wherein both the bride and the groom have a thick thread tied on their wrists and that has seven knots in it…and tight ones! Now, both of them have to open all those knots on each other’s wrist (which is a tough job)… many, actually most, people just do it… without even thinking about it. And most of them obviously find it really tough. But both of us were probably li’l different, we were helping each other in doing that… despite of all the opposition from everyone. And believe me…it was almost a cakewalk for us! Now when we thought about it, we could relate it to the difficulties a couple might face in life…with each other or with someone else. So there’ll always be many problems in life, but if a couple can stick by each other in the time of adversity, it can sail through anything and everything!
These are 2 of the thousands examples I can quote here… in fact that’s a good idea, I’ll try and write whatever and however I learn anything in life… might be of help to someone else as well!
By the way, just now I gave the link to my poems on this blog to my sister-in-law and that made me realize that its been quite sometime that I got creative with my pen… and it was not a good feeling… msut write one soon..
