Clouding Friends 

The best thing about men is, they are men. They do not really mean, what they mean. But they mean, what they are. Most people are clouds in our life. So far, yet posing so close.

 

Some are dark, greyish,  white or silvery. Some are thunderous, loud, lightening, racing, hovering, rainy, or just passing by. Isn't it, we enjoy them like a child. Watching jumping dancing or simply strolling around in drizzling.

In any case as they pass over, they leave a rainbow behind. And it so happens, when there is light around albeit sunshine. 

Focus on the sunshine not on the floating clouds.Though people by & large are floating clouds. 

In my terrace recording, I use the preparation time by watching the sunrise. The sunrise looks so enchanting  when there are patches of clouds around. They spread color to whole canvass before me.Even birds gets excited and fly around, dancing in the sky. I am saying because I have keenly observed and witness their timing.

But when there is a large stretch of clouds of equi-proportion everything looks dull and dumb. Even birds forget to fly. I noticed this today itself. There was no splash of color not chirping. The mobile too felt sorry for me. There was nothing to click.

Coming to the point all those shades of people, add colors to our personality. Say thank you, to those bad patches of clouds not with a smile, but with a gesture or attitude - 'I understood you better than before.' It is a must, to make you light. 

Once in our own trinity of friends, the smart one used to play games, thinking his strategy will always remain under the carpet. But the lockdown gave an opportunity to see the dust around and the dusting it needs. As the dust was dusted, game plan too got dusted. So was expected, repentance enveloped the pseudo it, and there is repentance but with clarity. It is up to us to continue walking, stop and or turn around. 

Each one Teach one is more  relevant for elders, not as much for learning but as mirror. 

Notice for some time, my post starts with Wisdom from Elders' with catchy lines. 

i) Live to inspire not to conspire

ii) Where the mind is free & head held high 

iii) Your struggles develop your strengths 

iv) एक नयी सुबह के साथ, सीने सिखाये, रहे साथ साथ 

v) Let your passion rule you.  Let your light shine. 

vi) You are right in your way.  That is very right. But is that right, right.

And as you say too - I am one chapter ahead in my life. So  am I with my 56th story telling today. Somewhere it is making a difference. 

That is happening happiness.

All the best.
