Today I was going through the picture album of my grandparents & I was smiling at the creativity of the nature , like how from a little plant , we keep on living , growing , changing & suddenly we turn back & laugh at the beginning of the growth of the tree having its own beauty experiencing value & uniqueness caring & nurturing tiny plants. I felt like the old age is tremendously serene & in fact it should be so because whole life move towards it but then it's a peak , how could it be the beginning ? I asked myself If we are growing old or growing up , are we simply ageing with the body or missing something as inquisitive as life , I asked myself if I am afraid of being old ? But I looked up at my grandparents , I could read the answers from their faces , I realised that life , if rightly lived from moment to moment , all the challenges that life gives , using all the opportunities that life opens , daring to the adventure in to the unknown to which life invites us , then old age is nothing about being fearful . In fact it's the beginning of an enlightening journey. I felt like painting a crazy picture with the art of living gracefully with no more questions like getting rid of old age but the vibrant colours of loving our own life , an authentic one. So if you have loved , you have been aware & meditative , I think it's really crazy to have such a great life & while keeping that album , I dropped a note in it , " thank you for helping me to understand the real essence of the lines by Charles Bukowoski that your life is your life, know it while you have it." - Shristi Gupta

"Daddy will get late tonight" said mumma and I could feel my breath I don't know what it means but I remember it's never good when daddy's late my back pains from yesterday he had thrown me in a corner like I throw my teddy, I only showed him my sketch but I didn't cry he doesn't notice my tears mumma cried she picked me up, I asked her "why is papa angry late night?" and she said "honey, look, it's not him." - Aditya Nayak |
