Some Random Thoughts

        


      Sometimes out of nowhere some deep thoughts strike my mind. Was just doing my dishes, and suddenly heard Aama saying let's give this avocado plant to someone so that it could grow properly in an open space, it won't grow in this pot.

       My response was 'NO' that's my plant, I've been taking care of that for 2 years, and I've grown that and I have a huge attachment with my plant. I can't let it go away from me.

      But, after a few minutes, I realized what Aama said was also TRUE, it can't grow properly in that small pot. It has to grow its roots will expand, it's size will expand which cannot be handled by the small pot. For the betterment and growth of the plant, I have to let it go. That kinda hurts but it's for the betterment so I was okay with it.

     Suddenly, I realized the same thing is applicable in our lives too. We can love a person more than anything else but sometimes we have to let them go for their growth and development.

    Just a thought but, idk it's right or wrong. Hehe.

Cherish Small Moments

  Out of nowhere, he saw a chocolate wrapper and suddenly started crying. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the house, demanding we go buy chocolate. When I said no, he got even more upset, angry, sad, and completely restless. But after a lot of insisting, I finally gave in and took him to the shop, expecting him to pick out a chocolate he had been craving so badly. But to my surprise, he didn’t even look at the chocolates. Instead, he pointed at a small packet of juice, barely 10 rupees, and said, "I want this." That was it. And the moment he got it, his face lit up with the purest joy, as if he had just won the world. It was such a simple thing, yet it made him so happy. Watching him, I couldn’t help but think back to my own childhood how even a tiny 1-rupee chocolate used to bring me that same kind of happiness. And in that moment, it hit me. Somewhere in the process of growing up, we stopped celebrating the little things. We got so caught up in chasing bigger goa...

Turns Out, It Wasn’t That Hard

So, I was doing the dishes, and my brother was wiping the kitchen counter. He came across this milk tea stain and immediately started going off like, “Oh nooo, this is such a tough stain. I’ll need hot water. It’s not going to come off like this.” But of course, there was no hot water, and boiling some just felt like too much work. So he mumbled, “Leave it, it’s not gonna work,” and half-heartedly rubbed at it. But guess what? The stain wasn’t even that stubborn. It came off with just a bit of effort—just a simple rub with a damp cloth. That made me stop for a second. Isn’t that exactly what we do in life too? We see something that looks tough and immediately assume it’s impossible. We don’t even give it a real try. But the moment we do, we realize—it wasn’t that hard after all. So yeah, that little tea stain reminded me: Try things. Some stuff might not work out, sure. But a lot of it? It just needs that first try.

The Innocence

                    About a month later, I finally got to see him. He was more excited than I was and was often angry at me for not being as excited as he was. Tomorrow is the day and tomorrow has come. It was a rainy and cold day, so I told my mom that I will go somewhere with my friends. She told me that it was raining and you are not feeling well, so she didn't want me to go. I now think that at least I could have listened to her. So now I could no longer bear all these horrors. But no, I couldn't let him go, so I insisted on leaving. So I slipped my little feet into the slippers and, splashing water, left the house. Around the gate, I could still hear my mom saying, "It's  raining don't go ," but I got on to the bus and called him that I am coming. He said in a sweet voice, call me when you arrive here, I'll be waiting at the bus stop. He was waiting for me when I got there. Then he smiled and said follow me and go somewhere. He...
