Enlightment in the Bus !!! (It's a beautiful world...)

It was an ordinary hot Friday morning in the city. I was getting late to catch my bus. As always, I was throwing tantrums at my parents to get things ready for me to leave while I myself was not yet ready. They have no choice apart from tolerating my wrath. I am lucky. I got into my car, started off to the bus stop. Dad was badmouthing the ill drivers who came our way. He wanted to make sure that I reach in time. I felt loved. I called my friends who take the bus at preceding stops to check the status of the bus. Two of them did not lift the call while one turned out to be my savior. Yes, I did catch my bus just in time.

Took a seat in the third row beside a girl who sleeps every day during the entire journey. I put my beats headphones on, played music and started staring outside the bus window. The songs that played randomly on that day turned out to be melodious. All of them! Then, I felt a cool breeze over my face which took me to deep thoughts. 

I started remembering all the people who have been part of my life. Memorized all the sweet, sour and bitter relationships I had throughout my life. Recollected all those whom I encountered since I was born to present day, including my bus friends who were traveling with me the same time, from family to best friends to relatives to friends of friends of friends of friends to just acquaintances. I recalled everybody. I started to feel blessed, wanted and loved. Every relation I retained brought a beautiful smile on my face. My infancy, primary and secondary school, undergraduate, graduate, work life, life in India and the USA, life in the old house and the new one, everything was fulfilling. At that point of time, I decided to write this piece, take some time to thank all of them who have been part of my life and made it so enjoyable. Many loved me while some taught me lessons from the mistakes I have committed. I am grateful to all of them.

Today, I stand at a point where my future is uncertain. I felt a weird nervousness and still do. But these thoughts and reminiscence of my past and present gave me courage, confidence and excitement to face the ambiguity ahead. I am filled with positive spirit and outlook. It made me forgo the restrictions I wanted to apply to the haziness and let my life free to anything that is going to come by. Now, I feel heroic and exposed. Come what may, I am ready for it. And this nerve emanates only from the Beautiful World around me!

Love,

A blessed girl
