I have changed .... As I browse through my old album I realise this.No,not just in appearance.The change is within me, in my perception of life.The bygone years have mellowed me and I can smile easily today. I have no complaints , no regrets ,no expectations and great hope that someone above will take care of me . I have begun to believe that whatever happened or is to happen is for the best.
I can laugh today thinking of how grumpy I used to be some years back. I would sulk for the whole day or days together over trifling issues. Issues that seem unimportant today but did not seem so then. If something similar were to happen today I know my response will be very different.
Age or experience ? what is it that has brought about this change in me?
May be the influence of the people around me. I believe everyone you come across in your passage of life, contributes in bettering you as a person.Even a strange lady sitting next to me during a train journey can, with her presence or parley ,touch my life and change my persona in a mild way atleast.
Or may be the couldn't care less attitude that has taken root in my heart which has helped me stop brooding over somebody's sarcastic comments.
Or may be with the broadening of my body, my mind has broadened too ...
It is easier to forgive these days. No grudges and hence no pain.I have learnt to let go and move on.
I believe "nothing is for ever. The tough times, like the happy days, will also pass."
I believe "when I don't get what I want ,God has something better to offer me."
I believe "when He takes away from me something dear to me , He wants my hand to be empty to receive something more precious."
I believe that every day of my life, every person I meet, every mistake I make ,teaches me something new.
I find life is beautiful and every moment worth living ...
"If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax; I'd limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones".

This is a welcome deviation from your normal style ..it sounds more from your heart and may be as a result of a good self analysis about your maturing in to a more friendlier person..well done and looking forward to more such heartfelt blogs!
Reading this,am reminded of a quote of shelley's,"If winter comes can spring be far behind".Glad to see your graduation from a dreamer to a pragmatic individual,ready to face the viscitudes of life.But a note of warning!!!pls dont wait for destiny to dictate every step of your life.That can be disastrous.Remember the malayalam saying,'thaan paadhy deivam paadhy',and try to follow the adage,'God helps those who helps themselves'.

This is very true, just something I needed to read.....just read and melt into...
Well written post.. Nice to see someone who is 'uncomplicated', as most people are busy running a mad rat race behind money and positions.
Life is actually simple, we just make it complicated.
