The first drop of rain creates beautiful ripples on the surface of still water...it seems as if it spreads the soothing effect of rain everywhere...and you know what, it really does that.
We all human beings also do it somewhere in our lives.......how?
Ok, whenever an event occurs in our life, we discuss it with our near & dear ones. Now, sometimes the event is feel good however most of the times it is not the same case. Ironically, the events which negatively impact us are more.
We tend to discuss the bad news from news channel & news paper, from somebody's life and also from our lives more. At one hand it is ok, as it is required to be informed what is happening in this world but on the other hand it makes us feel sad, agitated and depressed. We loose trust in the world and somewhere the hope that there can be anything good enough to live happily.
The one seed of thought that made me to write this today is that we seldom discuss the good events with the same intensity we discuss the bad ones. And most of the times we even forget to discuss. We take good things granted and don't try to live or relive those.
It is an old saying that happiness multiplies by spreading(Please excuse me I don't remember it verbatim). I understand we all have our own share of bitter experiences but I firmly believe we have few sweet ones also. We may come across so many bad news in a day but atleast one good news or experience. My key point is let us share that good moment with great intensity. It may be a simple one for but may kindle hope in somebody's heart for better world; a reason to smile & live.
Let us discuss about good weather, cool breeze & dancing rain.
Let us discuss about trustworthy friends and the time we spent together
or have been spending.
Let us discuss about people who really love each other and kept the
promise and have been keeping it.
Let us discuss about marriages which are lasting through all thick &
thin of life.
Let us discuss about the help & humanity we have been experiencing in
personal or professional lives.
May seem to be small...but believe me it will create the beautiful ripple
effects.
Life us quite uncertain...we don't know what will happen the very next moment...then let us try to create the ripples of love, friendship, trust, humanity & hope.
By the way writing this email, sitting on my terrace, listening to soft music, feeling the cool breeze, handling my traces & brooding over few good moments in my life...is already making me feel beautiful about life.
Feel & spread the beauty...you will simply love it.

Expecto Patronum !!!!!!
Hello Everybody,
I am back again...but this time with some magic...!!!
Ok, just think...have you ever felt despair...a terrible state of hopelessness...a moment or couple of moments when you could only recall the most bitter experience or memory...
Actually this happens or may happen with anybody. After all, we all are human beings...:-)
Most of the times one negative experience lead to a trail of negative emotions & all our past bitter experiences come alive. Everything seems to be just out of control. Love, friendship, trust, humanity and especially hope seems to be non existent. We are left with no desire to carry on the very next moment in life.
You know what? Dementors cause similar state of mind in people...Now, who are dementors? Please have patience ,we will come to this later.
Dementors are really dreadful creatures and only one spell can ward off dementors i.e. "Expecto Patronum"... This spell creates "Patronus", a positive force, a projection of hope, happiness and the desire to survive and gaurd against dementors. But this spell is effective only when one concentrates only on happy memory or the happiest memory. Sounds like magic, isn't it? But very true!!!
My mother always say, "One can even learn from an ant". Infact, with the years passed I have learnt that one can learn so many things from an ant...:-). Every living and non living thing have some or the important philosophy of life to share with us. We just have to keep our senses active enough to comprehend it.
I have read and seen all and also learnt a few things from "Harry Potter Series'. Yes, someone may think that it is for children, I have no issues but if one can learn from each and every living or non living being then why not from these books. There are so many things in these books to learn with regards to human psychology.
"Expecto Patronum" is one of the many spells mentioned in these books. This spell is especially used to fend off dementors (the creatures which suck all the positivity from a person and fills the psyche with despair). It conjures an incarnation of the caster's innermost positive feelings, such as joy, hope, or the desire to survive. and you know what we all can do it...in fact have been doing it...without even going to any school of magic. We all are bestowed with magic.
I feel that it is very true only positive & happy thoughts can pull us out from the whirlpool of utter depression. Happiness is a state of mind and so does hopelessness. The only magic is to concentrate with all our might on the happy memory or memories...(We always need to remember the main goal in life and that is to be happy and if possible to make others happy. The latter one is not possible without the former one)
So, abandoned by a friend in the mid of difficulties...lost somebody so special(the most tragic loss)...got ditched by someone you were in love with...duped by a person you have always trusted...lost job...big loans to repay...life can be full by all these but then too life is above all these, it goes on and we have to move on & face it with a smile. We just have to try to concentrate with all our will power on the happy moment we cherish most in our lives; may be our mother's hug...father's support...kins' love...a smile on our child's face...falling in love...laughter with friends...a cup of tea with near & dear ones in the rainy evening...getting a friend or help unexpectedly at the most crucial time...getting admission in desired school or college...the list is endless...believe me...we all have atleast one such happiest moment in our lives.
The truth is that despite all the negativities life is still beautiful and if not we can try to make someone's(who may or may not know us or even care for us).
We all are great magicians...we just have to realise our potential...we just have to incant our "Expecto Patronum" to incarnate our most innermost positive feelings as a support to come in terms with life...to live life with a light heart, happy soul and a smile on our face.
