Zindagi: Kaisi hai paheli...

During this new year season, my mailbox flooded with new year wishes. One of the message I forwarded to my friends. The content was:

Life is like having a cup of tea.
You sit by the side of the window, lift the cup and take a careless sip,Only to realize, somebody forgot to put the sugar. Too lazy to go for it you somehow struggle through the sugarless cup. Until you discover un-dissolved sugar crystal sitting at the bottom...
---That's Life---

Now one of my friend asked me "bhai kuch samajh nahi aayee ye chai kee kahani"
"Hmmm... Is chai ki kahani samajhni padegi", the first thing comes into my mind and result is this post.

To see the life everyone has its own viewpoint. Shayar or philosopher generally try to present their viewpoints through simple things and its upto you how you are interpreting those hidden things. Now come to this wordings.

Normally we people are not satisfied with our life and keep on complaining about it. The cup of tea symbolizes the life and it has come to an end. So we should try to enjoy each and every moment out of it. Actually every moment comes with something to cherish about but we fail to see or feel that or rather we dont make effort to realize that and feel like that life has given nothing to us (just like tea without sugar), we are supposed to keep ourself sad and consider it as our fate. We want someone else to fill our life with happiness.

But at later stage of life you realized that you were totally wrong and the happiness were actually around you but you dont try to get it, just like "un-dissolved sugar crystal sitting at the bottom... ". So when you are about to pass your life and see back to the passed time then you realized that you missed those things which are near you but you fail to recognize.

I personally feel like some people unnecessary keep themselves sad by thinking about future or something which they have not. Rather we should try to enjoy with what we have. The small incidence or anything around us, are enough to make your day full of happiness/satisfaction, its just how you see the world. A very old dialogue from a movie: A character 6 can be seeing as number six or as number nine, it depends how u see the it ;-)

I cant stop myself writing the wordings of Gulzar which has similar meaning:
"Aane wala pal jane wala hai, ho sake to isme zindagi bita do, pal ye jo jane wala hai"
