Small things make life Wonderful

"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."
-- Vincent Van Gogh

I always cherish small things and that’s the reason I sometimes embellish when I comment on something …but what is life without excitement and bit of fantasy….
How many of us enjoy a cup of hot tea standing in the balcony, enjoy a ride in the car with moon roof open, smile when we iron the shirt perfectly for the first time, beam when the queue in grocery store billing counter is less, enjoy the final layer sticking in the vessel in a chicken biriyani, enjoy the smell emanating after the rain, relish when somebody wishes you “Good Morning” when you have no clue who the other person is , enjoy the making of the film even after the film is over and titles start rolling, feel sigh of relief when our desi aunties has left at least some good lady’s fingers after breaking the tip of most in an Indian store ..etc ., the list goes on and on ….I personally enjoy all of these except the last one since I feel our aunties can show some pity on the bachelors…he he ..

We feel very blissful when dollar exceeds 50 rupees forgetting that our roots are from India (no showoff I also do this), very happy when Citi exceeds our credit limit or offers a good balance transfer deal, very happy when India wins the trophy …..no harm in enjoying all these as these would really swift gears and make you smile. The only thing is why don’t we give some if not equal importance to the small things ……I personally believe one who enjoys small things will always have a smile in their face …..


Also many of us in this modern era get restless very often …..if we see we don’t get parking lot near the doorstep of a store we gently scold shoppers ….the moment our internet starts to buffer at regular intervals we immediately say “why is internet very slow today?” without realizing all of our roomies are streaming a dvd version of a movie,scold our own driving skills missing the traffic signal by arriving a few nanoseconds late. I myself do all of these and that’s the problem with everybody these days. We get restless very often as we need everything very soon.

I wanted to write this blog to say to myself and to anyone who reads this blog to enjoy small things in life and not to get restless for petty things. This is not an advice just a message from your friend. Live life to the fullest and enjoy every bit of it as it is a gift from god.
