A Girl On The Bench


There's this girl whose sitting on a bench in a beautiful garden. She's all by herself, thinking about all the good times, feeling happy about the nature, greenery around her is making her feel bliss. Everything around is looking so merry.

One fine moment, there's this person who comes and sits besides her. She's hesitant initially but then the girl also wanted to know if the person occupying the seat besides her feels the same or not. Strangely for her(not actually strange), they shared a great rapport. Wow! someone feels the same as her, wonderful! This is the best bench ever, lolz!(You know first loves are always so special)

Uh-oh, due to some reasons the guy goes away. There's no one seating on the bench with her. There's no one to reciprocate her talks. Just that, the void on the adjacent seat. Otherwise it's the same old beautiful garden, same greenery, same her. But all that goes unnoticed. Avoid of a person is missed, despite everything.

She isn't feeling the same about the garden anymore. The place is making her happy no more. The only thing she's thinking about is the seat next to her unoccupied. The only thing that can cheer the girl up right now is the person who sits next to her. The nature, the beautiful environment with so many pleasant things lost out to this one person.

Weren't you happy before someone came into our lives? Now that the bitch/bastard is gone, why are you frowning? ah, lets get back to the happier ways.

Being happier because of our environment. Environment is the people around us. Family, friends, college, office, Facebook, orkut, cigarettes, bandstand, night-outs, yourself.

Environment: We made you happy for so long, we still can! Give us an opportunity, try it out. I know the person seating next to you was/is/would be the most important to you because he got the closest to you. But till the time he isn't around, you can appreciate our feelings, be with us, be happy.

Don't search your happiness so close. Start looking beyond that, there are many things beyond the next seat, there are so many things dying to see you happy. and ofcourse the happiness only gets higher when someone comes next to you. When you feel the void, and feel bad about it, we get hurt. The whole environment gets distracted, the entire garden frowns. Same as your parents, friends, internet, the cigarette tapriwala, chota recharge wala uncle, everyone gets concerned. They want to see you happy, they want to see you talk, smile. Don't let one person decide your mood. Let all these people add to to the way your day goes.

One person can leave you sure, not everyone can leave you at a time. So when you say, "everyone leaves me, everyone has ditched me. THINK AGAIN Coz WE DON't AND WE NEVER WILL. So enjoy, be with us,don't frown. And as the secret goes, happiness attracts happiness.

What happens to the girl???

The girl finds someone sitting next to her on the bench very soon never willing to go...and with them together even the garden seemed great around. Seeing the girl dressed in an angelic white dress smiling and filling the air with her laughter, a bird chirps, "She looks so beautiful when she's happy"

My 'Kwan'

Ever since I started understanding the worldly things, somehow this got instilled in me that ‘money is the toughest thing to get, it makes this world, and it makes people tick. Money is not everything but perhaps needed for everything’. The people who don’t have money feel earning money is tough, there’s something else tougher. Tough is to get ‘Kwan’, u know what a ‘Kwan’ is? Kwan is attainment of respect, dignity in society & community, health, time with of course money. A complete life: ‘Kwan’ (courtesy: Jerry Maguire).
According to a global survey by me (my globe is restricted to my people); I don’t find many people have ‘Kwan’. Let me tell you something about my people.
My globe includes rich, sophisticated lads with English talking kids who have money till their 2 generations die. ADMIT: I’m fascinated by them
Also includes people who are balancing their life between being rich and fearing become poor and of course people who are striving for all the happiness in the green papers.
Happen to personally interact and be with all these lovely souls, the rich souls who use great CK perfumes by the way if you know. Also people who always want to get some side but fear falling the other side, and also people whom I think am very close to.
I just want to convey that making money may not be as difficult as getting a great life. There’s this man who earns a lakh rupee every few days but his family sucks. He’s a money making genius and I can learn so much from him but that’s it to him. There’s this family of rich people who have everything at their will but they just don’t connect with each other. They hurl abuses at each other asking one another to get a life. There are people who go at the finest of dining restaurants but they just order for themselves, eat and come back. What kind of people I had a fascination for? (I can give better examples but I guess that would get too personal and identical)
The people who wish to attain strong finances in life, issues like abusing your own people, having a troubled marriage, not talking to your own father, whining over a bad childhood can be solved NOW.
Keep money the main issue in life and solve out other issues along the way. Find saving money a family task; dining IN today on Sunday to help your budget would perhaps help your differences. Let’s make earning a fortune a goal which also eventually solves all our emotional grudges. It’s not the intellectual who gets to his desires, but often the emotionally driven. Make your emotions strong, have a great back-from-office time. Trust me you will rock at your get-back-at-work time.
Earning money then just remains, “all upto me.” It’s just you and your abilities, your mind all focused to get that bloody deal, you work your ass for it and 8/10 you’d get it,
For most of us then, it’s just about making a sale; a business rolls money when something sells. If you’re into selling, go out there and make a sale and you’ll earn your money. Is that an effort no? The movie also tells that if you can’t love everybody you won’t sell to anybody. This dude loves everyone because he has a great love in his family rite? Going back home after a tough day at selling, fighting with your mom, getting hit by your husband is a lot complicated to deal with.
So solve your issues while you earn your fortune and after you do, dude you’d have a ball every day. Just in case you don’t, the only good that comes out is you’d have a purpose in life to get something correct. One friend of mine told me money issues can be solved emotional issues cannot be solved so easily. Ya she was rich already then so may be right. I’m not wealthy as yet but luckily I have all my emotional issues in place. How lucky of me! For me, its just boils down to me, my abilities and making that sale and the money starts rolling. I believe I’ve that money already because I already feel the happiness of having it in me, my family and my emotional self. Earning money is so simple; getting a great life is so not. Yet, we all are so much in awe of it, COUNT ME OUT! Why do people see the great life beyond money, its before that I feel. My ‘Kwan’ is on its way towards me, what about you dude???
Get READY for it!!!
