Liking what you like



A deplorably uninteresting quarrel with one of my friends for the smallest reason one can ever imagine suddenly came to an end with a couple of words emanating from the one who had been in my life since so long a time for he virtually is a part of my life, ‘One who likes me should respect my interests and also like them’.

This one small dialogue indeed had touched my heart to such a great extent that even today when I wish to say someone ‘I like you’, those collection of words reverberate in my heart preventing me from saying what I wish to, for I fear I may not be able to like his interests as much as I like him.

 Those golden words had taken me on a philosophical, thoughtful journey making me visit every moment of my life, collecting thoughts to evaluate the genuinity of those words. But still I wasn’t able to accept completely what he told. I would have, if the same would be read as ‘Like the person and be silent with his interests’.

 However a day did come when I was in a position where I was required to answer myself.

With no thoughts of previous happenings, a meeting scheduled with one of my friends did witness something I myself had not accepted earlier. It was something that had really come form my heart, penned down by my own feelings with the least recollection of previous memories. I have said something that I never expected to say in my life.

నేనంటే ఇష్టపడేవాళ్ళు నాకు నచ్చిన ప్రతి విషయాన్నీ ఇష్ట పడాలి

‘The one who likes me should like everything that I like’

Reasons are something that don’t exist for such things.

The smile that works miracles

A boring, uninterested, gloomy and lifeless day could be well transformed into an occasion to be cherished and to be remembered for ever, all with the smile that is known to work miracles. The face reflects the mind while the smile enhances the same.

The happiest news can at times seem to be nothing special than the sun rise if that little smile misses from the lips that speak happiness. At the same time the words that have the potential to freeze those fast beating hearts to dwell in silence or which possess the power to set quarrels and work mischief might be perceived with a positive attitude if a smile adds to the words.

One does not have the power or the necessity to imitate a truthful smile. Doing so is an act of deceiving yourself for a smile is a reflection of your state of mind.

An artificial smile or feeling can be well distinguished from the one filled with the essence for only the real entity does possess the essence it needs to have.

A smile is not something that needs to be practiced daily early in the morning in laughing clubs amidst those senseless shouts of laughter emanating from insensible vocal chords. A smile needs to come by itself from the resting house of the expanse of heart at occasions when it is called for.

An enjoyment of nature, a talk, a meeting or a single glance of the loved on can bring that valuable possession to the forefront.

Savoring the ultimate victory

There is something that you wish to have in your reach but attaining it seems to be very difficult. You keep waiting for it while trying out all the possible ways to reach your ultimate goal. Your path is covered with thorns that can give you enough pain to make you say that you would go away without even having a glimpse of what you wished to have.

The forces of nature, not the sun, wind and rain but those crafted humans are the real obstacles. Words filled with poison emanate from the jealousy and cruelty that they possess. It does possess the power to transform the smiling flowers which have become an adobe for colourful butterflies to a withered mass which can serve no more purpose than for the base creatures to feed on.

Destiny that keeps commanding life however keeps emanating rays of hope, in every direction with a genuine hope that if not a beam at least a ray would be perceived by our senses.

You keep moving forward for days together forgetting what life is all about, for you have a picture of nothing but the destiny hovering before your eyes. Exhausted and tired, you may take rest for a moment from the short valuable time that you possess. The destiny may be reduced into vacuum if not reached in time.

Your eyes seem to be filled with every emotion that can be felt by the heart; pain, grief and anxiety, arising from tiredness; fear of losing the battle; hope that you are going to win and above all love towards what you really love.

The propelling force seems to be always greater than the retarding for those who really long to have a taste of victory of the purpose for which has been started for the long lasting journey. The sun rises and sets and is not going to wait for you. It is predetermined to perform the daily routine as you have been to reach what you need to reach. Days and months keep passing till you reach your destination and your life.

The happiness that arises at the moment cannot be described in a single word. It can only be felt by the union of the heart and the soul. All the pain experienced by you keeps moving in front of your eyes to give you an additional boost to be really happy for having attained what you wished to have possessed. For days, the happiness seems to make you more and more joyful. However life waits for none and another target has already been set for you.
