Hope

   There are times in life when you confidently think that you have had it all figured out. That feeling somewhere deep down in your heart, a feeling that everything will turn out as good as it all looks in your head. The craving, that your constant prayers will be finally answered to, that your dreams will soon materialise without any hassles. That people of your own, will understand you better, accept you for who you really are. Respect what you really want.
 To get one step closer to achieving success. To successfully swim past trouble. To keep a promise. To put things in order. To sleep peacefully past twilight. we all have these desires.
   But you see, call it life, destiny, fate or whatever you want to call it; it is always out of your league. It always dwells away, far away from deduction, science and mere guesses. It has got other plans for you. Even if it has to agree to your deepest desires, it has it's own way of obliging. All it takes is one swig of reality to bring you back out of your fantasy world, and make you face the music- the truth. The world where everything was once sugar coated, finally dissolves.
But it is at these moments of life that you are tested. This is when you have to gather up your guts,your bravery and loads of patience. They say things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end. Except, its not always in the way we expect them to. Until then, you'll just have to wait in constant hope. 
   Hope that everything is going to be just fine in the end. Hoping that your lost treasure will be found in some dark corner that you haven't searched yet. Hoping that someone will come along as your saving grace and put things in order for you. Hope that your guardian angel will always smile upon you, and protect you under her wings. Always have hope. Hope for the best out of life-s every moment. After all, hope is a very good thing.

  7. I like the way you have written :) But don't you think hope always lies in the future and the future doesnt exist? But dear, I must say, you have put it together very well :)

    @Rahul - oh yes i did! Greeshma had watched the movie the day before i wrote this, and i could not think of a better way to conclude this:)
    @Shruthi - yes, like i said, the future is uncertain.. all you can do is hope for the best!:)

  9. This is a lovely read, Brinda!

    When the sugar coating dissolves and we have to swallow that bitter pill of life, transformation begins. We can either choose to let it make us or break us.

    It would be heavenly if we could "swim past trouble" (love that!) but life is about pain and gain too :)
