Hello everybody. Today I gave blood in the blood donation campaign driven by Gangaram Hospital in my college.Yippee...feeling so good! I still remember the last tyme when the same scenario was going on in Jaypee University. I was very afraid of pricking. But my friends Ribhu, Ekta and Karan were standing besides me and trying to do all sort of mischieves in order to divert my attention. I was experiencing the true feeling of belongingness; but today, that sense was nowhere. Everybody was busy in his/her affairs though 'D'(Swayam) was there. Finally when I was about to quit, one helper came there and started talking to me in a way like he knows me well. I was lost in his energetic and affective talks. Perhaps he was observing me quite from sometyme! Lyfe has become too fast! You can't afford to spare tyme for everybody. But whether its something which justifies expectacy theory? Always expect the unexpected or comes a response driven expectations!
Charles was a jet pilot whose plane was once destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. He ejected and parashuted into enemy hands. But he was captured and spent six years in a communist prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons from that experience.
One day when Charles and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table approached him and said," You're Charles! You were shot down. You flew jet fighters." " How do you know that?", asked Charles. "I packed your parashute", the man replied.
Charles shocked in surprise and gratitude. The man said," I guess it worked!" Charles assured him," It sure did. Otherwise I wouldn't be here today".
Charles couldn't sleep that night, thinking about the man. He says," I wonder how many tymes I might have seen him and not even said,'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because he was just a sailor. The sailor, perhaps who was weaving the fate and destiny of someone he didn't know".
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it throughtout the day. These supports are necessary to reach the destination safely. Sometymes in the daily challenges of lyfe, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please,thanks, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to him or to us, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason. "I am proud of you" are five of the most precious words you can ever use to make another person feel important. Appreciate everybody's worth, whatever they are, whatever they do. Everybody is important and essential, whatever they do, whatever their job is. They may change your thinking and decisions. Someone's lifetyme opportunity may be perched on the tip of your tongue. Reveal in the rhythm of ordinary things. At tymes your words speak volumes about the quality of lyfe. Appreciation is a wonderful thing; it makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.
As you go through this week, this month, this year, do recognize people and check, Who is packing your parashute!!
Dedicated to all who I forgot to say thanks or sorry...
