Lemonade out of the Lemon!

Sometimes you wake up in the morning and discover that there is something wrong in your life and it's not going the way you planned. You are heading for a crash landing and you are the helpless pilot with the engine burning. Well, if you haven't had that experience then I'll tell you it sure does make you feel helpless and it would not help you if someone comes and offer lemon to make lemonade.Because when theres a crash ahead and you are the pilot you cannot squeeze lemonade, you are blinded by love, the love for your life.

May be that crash landing would be because you don't have the much soughted dress you have been searching for the party, or maybe because you are not always the perfect person you have dreamed you would be, or maybe because the KFC is passed and you parents didn't make a stop at the Mcdrive, or maybe simply just because you feel like grumpy you'll think it's dooms day.

But let me tell you something, This is not something I'm gonna say as one of my own ideas, which it is not, and I'm certainly not gonna get credit for something which someone else had done. but this i something I'm gonna say as something which exists in our world. 

Just to make you aware that as the sun rises you think about your tea which is about to be brought to the bed and about the new pair of slippers you are gonna have in another quarter of the day or the party which would rock the roofs out of the houses which will actually start from another 16 hours, or is just other sort of need which occupy a normal human being.whether it's the morning or the evening or whatever time of the day.

Recently i took notice of all the things we take for granted, about our transportation, the financial needs, the clothes, accessories, food and the quenching thirst of getting what ever you want any day if the life, any time of the day. 

this is frustrating knowing that you are living in one side of the world knowing nothing about the other half of it. It's like cheating on your soul mate.

I don't have to remind you of all the things which we keep forgetting in the morning,that as we sit up on bed and rub our eyes and mouth to make sure that its not covered with things which should not be there, a person dies in the world out of starvation in the further side of the world, a child cries for the need of a drop of milk or just a drop of water, a vulture circles the sky waiting for the death of a human being.

The photo is the “Pulitzer Prize” winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan Famine. The picture depicts stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away. The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat him. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken. Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.
or maybe in this case sit and wait patiently knowing that no one is strong enough to chase him away from his prey. The victim of hunger is about to be the victim of the vulture.

or maybe you just didn't know what you meant when you have said a million times in life that you are starved and had been pisssed off for not getting food o time on the table, You've got to think more.

starvation needs a definition and a fair one is"Starvation is the result of a severe or total lack of nutrients needed for the maintenance of life."
And my friends what do we ask ourselves?do we have a severe lack of nutrition? or then again maybe a total lack of nutrition? Is staying hungry for about an hour starvation? or is it just your want for food?
We can maintain the life, but can they?

Or they?

It's just the same motherly love you see in each and every person, except this mother holds the child with the great load of fear for their lives, and this is the strongest love in the world, the closer they approach as time brings them closer the nearer the death comes.

Even though this seems the content family, motherly love will not exticnt in the heart of a woman caught in a famine.

Maybe this boy drinks the water as nectar given by lord, or maybe the delicious dishes we have in our "once in a life time chance" equals his delight..the thirst which never quenches...

Just think, reawaken your buds of sensitivity. push up all those curtains which blinds the walls of disillusion, box up your fears and put on your gears, get ready for another day, a day filled with hope and will be much brighter by the contribution which it gets from you to the world.

That's it!!! the gift can be,
from- you
to- the world which needs a much bigger brighter space.
