if you argue i may argue too
if you quarrel, i may lose my temper
if you dont talk, i may stay silent,
but if you just smile, why will i not smile back?
rather why will i not smile at you anyways. :)

Lessons from A Fruit
I wish to be the fruit that falls off detaching itself from the parent tree. When it falls off, it doesnt think that it's leaving it's home behind. That home was never his...
It's home belongs to where it plants its seed. It eventually grows into a new tree and possibly the source of many more.
In the process of planting its own seed, it allows itself to be fully consumed with no second thoughts. The detachment from its parent tree becomes final.
I want to be exactly like that.
A giver rather than a getter.
A hope for the better.
A source rather than an end.

Lessons from a Leaf
I wish to be the leaf that falls off and flows along-with the river.
It doesn't know where its heading towards.
It doesn't even know whether it will get bruised out or remain healthy and for how long.
All it knows is to simply flow along the water to wherever the current takes it.
If the river dumps it at the banks, it gives itself to the sun and in the process gets worn out or gets dried up.
If the river takes it along the water stream, it gets torn apart and dissolves itself in water.
Whether it bears the brunt of the sun or the water, it gives itself completely to the water or the soil, it gives itself completely for the cause of a new life!

Challenge # 1
Yesterday night I challenged myself. Had to try sleeping on the floor. Did it. Weird, isn't it? Had a good sound sleep though. No different in terms of quality than sleeping on a comfortable bed with the AC on.
If some people can do it - be it out of compulsion or otherwise - why can't I?
However the real challenge will be to do it regularly? I will give it a shot though. Had read somewhere that it takes nearly 21 days to cultivate a habit. Sleeping 21 days on the floor should not be tough. Lets see.
I will get back on this after 21 days. Curious to know if I pass this test.
