This Thing Called Magic

This Thing Called Magic....
Magic in life is conjured by the tiny little things. The smell of the earth after it rains, the shifting of seasons, the fulfilling feeling of being part of a family, butterflies in the stomach on seeing that special someone, a vacation away from home, the taste of mom's cooking, hanging out with friends and doing nothing, coffee and snacks at midnight, being so engrossed in a book that any track of time is lost, watching our favourite movie for the millionth time but still laughing and crying like a baby: aren't these the very things that make life beautiful and aren't they simply magical? It is true what they say: God is indeed in the details.

Silly, Twisted Life

Egos are bad. And attitudes are also bad, especially when they interfere with the righteousness of our actions. Everybody makes mistakes: by bursting out in anger, by keeping their thoughts to themselves, by pointing people out, by not pointing people out, by accepting what is said without any resistance, by arguing about what is said. There is no right or wrong in life. Everything depends on the 
way we think. What might be the perfect solution to a problem to somebody, might seem like gibberish to somebody else. In the end, it is our happiness that matters. That happiness comes by acceptance and by forgiveness. And that in turn comes by putting aside egos. A unit works its best only when there is harmony on the inside. In this small world, dysfunctional families do exist; but the truth is that their members are unhappy. They live a life choked with the black smoke of misunderstandings. The only way to lead a happy life is to not let any member of our family be stifled by this unfortunate air; by clearing out misunderstandings as soon as they erupt and not letting weeds impregnate our little green garden of joy.
