This innocence,it's brilliant!

Hello!!
It's been a while since i have posted anything.
Well better late than never,right?!

How many of you like kids?
I did.
Well you see,lately my fondness towards them has decreased,but still :P

You know the best thing about children?
It's their innocence! You know how one uses the metaphor 'bundle of joy' a lot? Well,i find kids to be fountains overflowing with innocence!! They are filled with unadulterated emotions and ideas!

I met this kid a while back. He is now 5 years old. He was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 3. He is a survivor! :D

He came over to my house one day. I was painting this butterfly on a piece of canvas. He looked at it with eyes filled with curiosity. He was intrigued by the patterns i was painting and the creature i was making.
He told me he liked butterflies.He told me he liked the way they flew and how pretty they looked.

I finished my painting later that day and showed it to him.I asked him to name the butterfly for me.
His reply amazed,rather,shocked me!
He said he wanted to name the butterfly 'scotch'!
I did not know how to respond for a second.My mind took a different route in comprehension on hearing the word 'scotch'.
After a while,i asked him why he had wanted to name the butterfly scotch.
His reply amazed me all the more!
He simply said -"Because then i can call it 'BUTTERSCOTCH'!"


I just smiled at him .No words i could have said would have possibly outdone the explanation he had given.
Even though he was smaller than me in age(Way smaller) he had a way of perceiving things with an ability greater than mine.

Imagine,if all of us had that innocence in us. 
Their innocence...it's brilliant...too bad it does not stay.

Here's a picture of Butterscotch! :)



Till next time...Adios! :D

A Little Something I Made-3

What can one do in the middle of the night.....When struck with insomnia...And not to mention-Boredom?!!

PAINT,DUDE,PAINT! 

:D

A Great Perhaps!

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both"

-Robert Frost

Everyone,at some point of their lives,face such a situation.

Okay maybe not EXACTLY the same,but similar.

It's nerve wracking to take responsibility and make life decisions at times. And the fact that the rest of your life depends on this one choice of your's,does not make the task any easier.

You can compare it to a balloon,you know. 

You have all these plans,and stuff you think and dream of doing...things you want to achieve...they all add up to become this one giant balloon!!

But....the choice and the path you choose can make a difference to the state of that big balloon!
At times,the choice you make is like a sharp pin which can burst the balloon,in a second!
Sometimes your choice simply makes a tiny hole in the balloon.....and with time,your dreams and aspirations all deflate..

On a more delightful note though,the thing you choose can maybe even enable that balloon to fly high,like a hot air balloon..!!

But then...how do you know what to do?! What's the correct way to go?

Maybe there is no 'right' or 'wrong' way.....

It's scary and exciting taking charge of your life.

There was the time when you were a care-free kid,running around your home,knocking over pots and pans...not a care in the world!

And then there's now: 

The present you,who is-
a)Freaked out.

b)Unaware of the future.

c)Suddenly dreading leaving the so called 'cocoon' you've been existing in. 

d)Afraid of oblivion.

e)Amazingly excited and ecstatic to see what lies in store for you anyway!

There's is something about the unknown that makes you want to know about it. 

None of us knows where we will be or what we will be doing 5 years or 10 years down the line....Heck,i ain't even sure of what i will be eating for lunch tomorrow! 

But i guess that's what philosophers call 'mystery of life' ...or some shit like that.

John Green,in one of his books (Looking For Alaska),mentioned something about a "Great Perhaps"

I like that theory.

I mean yeah,maybe we all are expecting some great possibility for ourselves.

We are uncertain of what it might be....

We are not sure if it will be good,or bad....

Or whether it will be worth the effort,or a total bust.....

But we still hang on to the balloon.....The balloon of our dreams and aspirations...

For all you out there,who like me,feel like a complete  idiot for not having a plan in life...or those who are afraid and apprehensive to take up careers and jobs,for whatever reason......

Listen

You DO NOT want to regret or question your choice later in life.

It will be way too late by then.

So just go for it!!

Go with your gut instinct!

I guess your gut is more sensible than your heart in these matters....

You know how people say 'listen to your heart?

Yeah,well...

COMMONSENSE-FACT-ALERT!!!! 

The heart can't talk, dud heads ! (Not even if you use a stethoscope)

So,i guess,good luck with what lies ahead....

Step out into the Great Unknown and find yourself a Great Perhaps!

Till next time...Adios! :)

A Retrospect

People are not really mean
They are not all bad
If that is what most see in them,
That is just sad

People are not cruel
They  are not all insensitive
Try giving people more than just a judgemental glance
Try giving them a chance

People don't lie to hurt
Not intentionally most of the time
People are kinda clueless
That ain't such a crime

People can be hard to comprehend
In fact,you try and see
People are nothing different
Than you and me .
