A thing of beauty

                                                      A thing of beauty is a joy forever.



Hi, here I go again. I am in an absolutely wonderful mood today. I am filled with joy. And I will attempt to share my joy with you (and cheer you up if your day isn’t going as planned, or make you happier if you already are!).

                The above is a picture of my rose plant. It has been around 8 months since I got her. Every day I wake up to this beauty. What a great sight to begin your day with! If this does not change your mood, I don’t know what will. (I am actually facing difficulty putting this feeling to words.J) I water her every day, and that’s it. She rewards me with this spectacle every morning. I suggest every plant lover to keep plants at their house. See the change in the air instantly. She gives 8 or 9 flowers at a time! What do I do with them? Sadly nothing much. How I wish I could do more! Give a flower to a woman and just watch her get incredibly happy. I have done this, and believe me this is one of the best things to do. You just have to look in their eyes to see how happy they become. How badly do I want to do this!

                Today I came to know that a friend of mine has started writing a novel. Can you just believe that? I am just amazed. Writing a blog is so thought-provoking, and there she is writing a novel. And that too not a one off. She has the whole series in her head! I asked her, since when does she have the story in her mind. She replies, for two or three years. Can you just imagine, having a story, perfecting it for years, finally putting pen to paper, struggling with words at some point, then finishing it to share the wonder that has been created with the whole world? You are the magician, my lady. People like you, who write stories, poetry, and blogs, are the magicians. I asked her to send me a snapshot of her first chapter, though I highly doubt she will. I want to read whenever she completes it. Wherever I will be or she will be, I hope she shares the marvels she created with me. Bestseller charts or not, the effort should be appreciated. This actually rekindled some of my teenage dreams; let us just leave it at that.

                For the past month or so, Hyderabad has pleasantly surprised us. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous! Especially on the weekends. Last year there was not much rain; I thought Hyderabad is just like this: hot and dry (Like Nagpur for 9 months of the year). Well this time it is different. The weather has been so beautiful; I just want to go out every day! Go out and enjoy the drizzles and the cool wind and the occasional lightning and thunder. For all those lucky enough to have a significant other, I implore you: take her outside, not to some fancy restaurant, but somewhere you both can enjoy nature. I am sure she will appreciate it. A park, garden or just a long walk is probably enough. I just hope this weather stays on for a long time to come.

                Ok, I can’t write anymore. The rest will come on some fine day, I guess. Till then, be happy. Find yourself a thing of beauty, since it is indeed a joy forever.
