Yesterday was like any other day .....I was walking to my office and it was raining.I was lost in my -The breakfast that was not properly cooked , small irritations at office and the rain.. Yeah at times we all have bad hair days.But then i just looked up and saw a small tree.The tree was barren, no fruits, no flowers and no leaves, it was a small tree and it has almost died.But i saw something else too, the rain which has stopped sometime ago had given this tree a beautiful face, wet and dripping, this small tree stood up for all to see.The tree looked just perfect, beautiful.
It is so easy to miss these simple beautiful things, yes we are always behind the big picture.but at times small things do suffice.
Smile of a kid, a beautiful flower, a weirdly shaped cloud all can make you realize how precious life is !!!!
And I am grateful for smaller things too....

the day i slapped a man
I was walking to the library, and it was just four thirty in the afternoon,yeah just like any other small town in India the traffic was bit heavy then, and I like other fellow walkers negotiated my way through the busy street. And actually i was happy, I am just out of university and i have got a job.May be others have got better jobs, but I am satisfied with my lot. May be you are not aware that favourite pass time of many guys in kerala at times isaccidentally colliding with women, side ways, front ways, back ways and in any other possible configuration.And a guy did that just to me, I was paralysed,I was Angry,I was furious,I just could say a s***, and that swine just walked away.
I am ashamed to own this,The first thing that went through my mind was may be I did something, maybe my duppatta is a shade transparent (actually i drape duppatta over myself) and a dozen such maybes. I was furious at myself for these thoughts because I knew that I shouldn blame myself. And off i went restructuring the event, thinkin of the ways in which I could have reacted. I was furiously thinking and turned to another street where Courts in my town are located.I actually was so furious that i didnt give any particular attention to a guy who was walking in the street and this guy tried to come near me and touch my waist.But this time I was alert, I saw him coming, moved and then realized that he was adamant,So this time I took the charge,I went and slapped him and called him one or two nice epithets.There were other people in the street,An elderly person who was behind me saw all this .He too joined in abusing the swine and i hope he recieved few more epithets and slaps from others who came up on the scene.
I didnt see it.I walk superfast when I am mighty pleased with myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!
