In the middle of the day when the sun was shining bright and trees were standing still, I was counting my steps and the time to cover one round of the walking plaza in the office. My story is of a chubby girl who still doesn’t know when she moved from being cute to being awful for the very same reason while growing up. This incidence happened long back when I was in the first standard. We were having frog race on Childrens’ Day and since I was not a sport friendly person I stood last, honestly I was near to the start line when my other mates reached the finish line. There were laughing faces and teasing tongues for my poor performance which was directly linked to my fat appearance. The impact was pretty high on this 5-year-old shy kid that led her to shift the focus on studies and cultural activities. I didn’t know what could have been the best way to fight back and I never shared it with anyone to get some insight. I was doing pretty average in all cultural events until the time I was asked to leave a dance show organised by my seniors because my physical appearance was not a match in the group. Since then I became supremely conscious of my appearance and the dancer inside me died after the whole night crying session. I still remember my grandmother doing all possible home remedies to make me sleep as she knew the reason for my cry was stomach ache. Of course, I did give a try to losing weight. So far three times in my lifetime and I was quite a success to shed some 12-15 kg every time but have managed to gain them back with extra 3-5 kg as a bonus each time. But after all these years I am a sport in dance, I love fashion, I can talk my opinion, I jump without hesitation and can laugh on myself irrespective of the topic running on. But it took a lot to be here and I am yet to catch up on many…
Human, who claim their brain to be the most resourceful part has proved multiple times that they are also failed by the same. We live in a highly competitive world. Competition helps us to push our limits but who defines that limit.. In different stages and states of life we fall prey to the unknown stress caused by competition.. We set our own targets so as a result rejoice and fail ourselves.. Acceptance has become the most underrated word.. Let it not be one... Let us learn to accept who we are, let us learn to accept what people around us are, let us learn to accept our strength, let us learn to accept our weakness, let us learn to accept other’s happiness, let us learn to accept our sorrow.. Why do we get depressed when we fail in exam, why do we give up when we don’t get a job, why do we develop a vacuum when we have a failed relationship, why do we demean our faith when things doesn’t move our way.. We are here to live and not to rush.. We are in hurry for anything and everything... Good marks, safe job, true love, big house, luxurious car, more fame, high name… We are just not ready to keep patience for any of these and much more… There was once said that life is short but we are making it suffocating… We are the creator and the destroyer ourselves.
Rainbow and Sun, Rain and Kids, Beach and Sunset, Mountains and Sunrise, Ups and Down, Love and Music, Tea and Swing, Health and Happiness… Life is about many such combinations and beyond any limitation… The younger me taught the older me that giving it up is not an option but living it up is… Your appearance doesn’t represent you but your presence does… It is absolutely normal and amazing to be average and happy… Health is mightier than wealth… Whereas love is irreplaceable… So build a healthier tomorrow and spread love everyday… It’s no wrong to commit mistake but is a crime to stick to it… It’s no good to be unfair but is insane to afflict anyone… Let’s be a little careful on what shapes us internally as well… It’s good to be a work in progress… Cherish everything about it…Appreciate everyone... And let’s never stop… It’s the shape of the state of our mind which structures everything around us. Let the true self shine !!!
