Funnily enough :-)

Am a cynic, and to an extent am proud of it :P Its a quality like many others that comes with its pros and cons. I know what you're thinkin' right now - "not all that analytical blah blah again .... gosh make this freak of nature SHUT UP !! " - don't blame ya at all - get psyched out myself :P Anyway, coming to the point, had a horrid experience while leaving Calcutta after finishing my internship - don't lose hope - am not complaining, just read on :-) Got swindled, had to bribe a few greedy arseholes (NO apologies for the foul lang. - who cares - its my blog :P) but all the same felt the usual agony and pain of wanting to throw a tantrum but restraining due to my sense of self-conscience. But this time round, tried something different - a remedy to all the problems - a smile :-) Surprised na? But funnily enough it works - believe me - just smile at whatever happened - and you'll float into the air and look down at it all from a third perspective (the first's mine and the second the other person's) - and see how ridiculous it all seems - the way we agonise and complain on all trivialities when the greater meaning is all hidden in your sense of being alive and enjoying what you have in the moment. A smile can make the hardest of situations seem a piece-of-cake, it can make all misery vanish and replace it with a reason and purpose of existence - the purpose for which we are blessed with feelings - to spread happiness and content even among those who deserve it the least - it gives you a contentment that shows on the grin with which you wake up every morning after that, happy to have made an ocean of difference in someone's life.

How we restrain our mind to wander off into undiscovered territories - how scared are we to explore the unknown. Am not going off-topic, as a matter-of-fact never felt so much at ease writing about something - this has no brains in it - its all from the heart ;-) So just follow my lead and go wherever this article leads you, even if its nowhere why bother? Haven't you ever felt the urge to let go and simply float into space - completely weightless and devoid of any forces pulling at you :-) Ahh can just feel that now - how light, how effervescent, how soothing ....

We must learn in life to let go, the harder you try to hold a fistful of sand, the easier it slides out of your grip - experience, ponder, relate, enjoy, but never fret on what happened ..... the world is yours to explore, you're the measure of your world. Never underestimate your potential - you could mean the world to someone or someone could mean the world to you and whichever way it may be - you are a significant figment of reality and without your happiness the world would never be complete. There's always room for another smile :-)

so far so good ... a smile can be used as a social engineering tool or if its hard coded in your personality then its aroma can be felt over a distance..
and Its a great solvent for negative emotions...
I guess we all get this feeling now and then when we see the agony and pain of humanity.. but we also ask why the beautiful attributeslike love, humbleness, smile etc etc exist in our dream world only whose projections are very few in the real world !
I guess may be we are supposed to be this way.. and all that we could do is smile at it.. may be in frustration or appreciation.
