Lesson 1: Smile

A lonnnng time since I wrote last. Since couple of days I am doing introspection of what has changed in me and whether it is right or wrong, what am I suppose to do and things like that.And I reallly have no direction after spending so much time in this activity.

Today being sunday, I was looking forward to spend my day in much relaxing manner both mentally and physically, but it seems it had to have a bad start. A "tring tring" in the morning spoiled the whole mood of the day.

Then the usual day's routine started and after all rituals went to have a lunch. Seeing the welcoming smile on the face of the counter uncle, I felt somewhat good. Then chitchatting with my roomie improved it even more. After having lunch we were leaving and then the uncle at Upahara Sagar stoped us to do some chit chat(somehow he finds me and my roomie amusing and always waits for an opportunity to talk with us :P). That was adding flavours to my mood. We decided to take a small walk and in that course there was one aunty carrying her daugther who was smiling at me and it made me feel even more good. Before reaching home we made a stop at the ironing uncle, as my roomie had to collect her 2 clothes given for ironing and he gave a very bright smile. Suddenly, I realized I was back to my normal mood.

I was just thinking of what actually changed in 2 hours which changed my mood so much?And, it turned out that each smile that passed across my way in that 2 hours of time collectively deserved the credit.

The problem is still unchanged which spoiled my mood in the morning but somehow i feel much better right now than in the morning. I still have to figure-out certain answers to certain questions but it feels more relaxing now than in the morning.

Hence, I decided that my next immediate effort is to keep a smiling face when you are with people, which will either help them in elevating their mood or at least won't spoil their mood.I will also somewhat help me too.

Don't know, how successful I would be at this as it is difficult for me to hide my expressions. But let me give it a try.

And I am planning to write similar things on this blog which would help in making one's life cheerful. Couple of years ago, I used to observe all these things and wondered how these small things really help. But then I stopped an reasons are unknown.

So, somehow I realized that I find some kind of satisfaction and joy for these kind of things. Now I plan to compose couple of posts on these topics.

I wish myself luck with this. :)
