I found peace. Peace with myself and peace with my surroundings. Somehow I have come to terms with the fact that nothing matters and I have to rise above everything that happens around me. Be it “work” or be it in relationship, there comes a point in time when you suddenly stop dead in your tracks and ask yourself a question as to what you are doing in this situation or this position and then the truth dawns.

Somewhere life isn’t the way you see it, sometimes people aren’t the way I expect them to and then I realize that it’s me who has to change than anyone else. People come and people go, circumstances reach its peak of drama and die down the next day but my inner peace always stays with me. Stays with me like the undying love of God. Like the faithful kitten that follows me everywhere and then I sit back and smile at the hot sunshine streaming through my window and say a silent prayer to God and thank him for whatever He has given me. I see life with the same amusement as I used to before.

I learned to see the mad dance of the universe unfurling its wonderful radiant colors to me and I smile and lose myself in that oblivion. Even if someone tries to tamper with my heart and soul, I just smile and pat them on their head and pray for their well being. I have stopped pitying such lesser mortals or have stopped trying to understand their ego.

After my realization. Nothing or no one else matters apart from my inner harmony. That’s when I see the light, I smile with the universe for I know that this life doesn’t hold back and it is nothing but bridges to cross. Probably it is long and looks never-ending but it is worth it. The universe looks down on my bed and welcomes me to its beautiful realm where everything is nothing but sparkling light.

As I follow that light throughout my life, I learn to see through things, people and circumstances and I learn that even too much sunshine hurts if you get too much. So I learn the art of balance.

I thank everyone who taught me the good and the bad. I wouldn’t have realized the truth about my life and the world beyond.

I thank NIK for the never ending fountain of understanding.

I especially thank NANAY for having a deep pocket of wealth and wisdom that never fails to shower us.

SALUTE!

Time for the BUKSHISH!
