Shine Bright: Embracing Your Role as Life's AkashKandil

 


When your culture teaches you how to live life"

    Akash kandil' holds a very important value in our culture doesn't it. It is the vital element that completes Diwali. No matter how busy stressed or frustrated you are. You always make time to go and buy AkashKandil because Diwali cannot be started without it. Throughout the 7 days of diwali, the AkashKandil makes the nights seem brighter than broad daylight. It brings you hope, it brings you light. 

    But what happens after Diwali...? The same AkashKandil that gave the most important festival of your culture a feeling of completeness, is now forgotten. Its light is not even turned on...because it is not needed anymore. You don't even use the same AkashKandil next year. It just sits in a corner of some storage cupboard and let's itself be covered in dust. Because it wasn't needed anymore.

    More often than not in life, you are the AkashKandil to some people. You feel as if they come into your life and leave you midway. But that might not really be the truth. Maybe YOU were brought in their lives to make their darkest times a bit brighter. Maybe YOU were made to cross their path because you had it in you to bring them hope and make them believe in goodness. Maybe YOU were given the duty to make things better for them, because your light was dazzling brighter than any other person in their life at that time. 

    So the next time you blame fate for breaking friendships, relations, or any other bonds, take a moment to look at the bigger picture. The almighty didn't break your bonds to give you pain. You are not at all alone. He is walking with you. He is walking you through life, making you be a part of a million dark lives because he knows YOU can bring them light. You haven't lost anyone, your duty in their life was fulfilled. You were made to leave their life, because there were many more people who needed you much more. And he made sure they got what they needed; just like he makes sure you get what you needed. 

    So from now on, thank him for making you capable enough of being someone's AkashKandil and thank the countless Akashkandils he has blessed you with

Rainy season’s solace

‘Rainy season’s solace’- this phrase is as calming as the actual experience. Everyone has their own experiences and perspectives about rain. Some may find rain soothing and a happy time to cherish, but for some people, they may have a not-so-good time. This is all  about my experience of rainfall. And yes, at the end, you would feel the solace within you.  It is a quite delightful time for me. When the rain starts pouring, I leave all my stress and sit  in my balcony, enjoying the view and the soothing rhythm of rain fall. It suddenly becomes a  comfortable environment that I snug up into my beanbag and read a book while eating  some fresh meal. I even wear some cozy clothes to keep me warm. Sometimes, I get lost in  the beauty of nature.  After rains, when I step out of my house to get some fresh air, the fragrance of soil attracts  me everywhere, whereas the flowers bloom in fresh gardens. Cool breeze blows on my face  and the leaves gliste...

Friends- A real treasure

 During our lifetime, we meet a lot of people and develop a lot of relationship, but only a few of them last forever. One such relationship is “ friendship ! ” As someone rightly said ‘ Friends are the family you choose. ‘ You may not always feel comfortable opening up or expressing your feelings with your family . At such time, friends come to your rescue. Friends are the one you feel at ease, sharing all your thoughts with , without the fear of being judgmental. They care for your well being . They are trustworthy and care about your feelings . They accept you as you are at the same time being, correct you when you go wrong. They are compassionate and forgive even when it’s your fault.
