It is a cold winter morning. You look outside the window and see the white snow falling in flurries. The view feels magical in its own rights. The white coloured rooftops, the thick sheet of snow covering the cars..But best of all are the trees..they look like finely etched sculptures with the right amount of white and brown. Wow!, ofcourse what goes best with it is a cup of hot chai.You make yourself one and relish it sip by sip. Even better would be to listen to some music. Something melodious and pleasing to ears to go with the whole scenario. Suddenly your mind is engrossed in some thoughts, you never seem to understand where these come from. They just come without your permission and sometimes leave before you realise...
You see flashes of somethings you have seen, known and sensed before. The street corner of your house, the little puppy you rescued on the road and brought back home,the time when your friends child hugged you and planted a kiss on your cheek, the scooter rides with your best friend from school,eating raw mango with salt and chilli powder on the beach, pyjama parties, your first camping experience where you cried because you missed your mom, the late night out with your girls from school where you had a crazy escape from a bunch of hooligans chasing you,getting questioned by the police after a late night movie with all guys, the fun day out with your best friend filled with food, film and fooling around, peeping from the top floor of a mall with a friend and just getting amused by watching all the people below, the excitement of receiving letters and greeting cards from friends,bold village adventures in search of someone you cared about, the misunderstandings, the fights, the making up, the lost friendships, the undying ones, bursting out crying on your friends shoulders, the love that you never realised you had, the love that broke your heart, the tears that made you human, the time when you had to build yourself up again from rubble, the success that made you arrogant and the failure that made you humble....
You realise that life is made of lovely memories, whether you are happy or sad or even devastated when they happen, but when you think back they just seem lovely. You realise how much life has taught you. You are happy for the person you have become today, someone with no regrets of the past. You are looking forward to the new lessons life has in store for you. You hope that the best is yet to come and this will always be the case! You are optimistic about a peaceful and harmonious world.
You let out a sigh and smile...
