Grass is Green.... even at your side...

I’m saying this beforehand. Aaj mai thode philosophical mood mein hoon.
So I will do a little gyaan distribution ceremony today. If you like it, well and good,
if you don’t..... well don’t like it then... AUR KAR KYA SAKTE HO ???

The following is a piece I wrote when I was a content writing intern with a website.
Socha aap sab ke sath bhi share kar lu.

What do you think the above diagram is all about?
Is it a plausible quantitative aptitude question? NO
Is it in any way related to studies? A Big NO
So what the hell is this!

You see, when I compiled my CV, and submitted it for internships, I mentioned therein that I have good knowledge of MS Office (aur wo maan bhi gaye !!).
So I placed this diagram to show I know a thing or two about MS Word. 

Okay, that was a bad one. Jokes apart, the diagram above is what we all have in our lives, with or without knowing. The six alphabets mentioned therein are pretty much like actual humans. Figure this out:

A envies B because B is taller than him; B envies C because he got admission in a top college while B didn’t; C envies D because all the girls are after him; D is jealous of E because he is really intelligent; E doesn’t like F because F’s parents allow him to party late in the night; and finally, F envies A because he is liked and respected by everyone.

So did you sense something here? Each one of them has certain qualities or aspects about them that makes the other envy them, and despite that, each one is bothered about the other, thinking he is better.

Although the example was pretty lame, but it pretty much fits in our lives. No matter how mature we get, there are times when we think that XYZ person has a better life because he has this and that.
Is this thought really worth our time?
I hope your answer is NO because if it’s a YES, dear reader, I’m afraid you don’t value yourself, and when you do, you do it through others’ eyes. Each one of us has something in us or about us which may make the others around jealous.

•     "He is the class topper. He will get admission in any top college easily. His life is set. What does he have to worry about?” Nobody thinks he too might have some issues with his life.
  
•     "They have been in a relationship for 3 years now. I wish my life was like that.” Who knows, may be the so called couple may not be as happy as they seem.
  
•     “She goes to parties almost every other day and yet her parents don’t say anything to her. I wish my parents were like them.” May be, that girl’s parents don’t have any time to give her. 
  
  
  That saying, “Grass is always greener on the other side” applies to all of us. There must have been times when we found ourselves thinking like in the above cases. It’s okay to feel like that, after all we are humans, but it’s important to learn and value your self too. (Note: that doesn’t mean you spend the entire day in front of the mirror!) 

•       Sachin Tendulkar is  5’6", and even the tallest of bowlers are afraid of him. Did he let his height come between his dreams?
  
•       Vidya Balan doesn’t have the size zero figure, yet she has carved a niche for herself in the industry and won a National Award. Would she have gotten here if she constantly compared herself with others?
  
•       Nawazuddin Siddiqui struggled for years before he was finally appreciated for his talent. He could have easily believed that he didn’t have the looks and acting was not his cup of tea, but did he?

The examples are endless. You, yes you can be another one. Remember that you may feel that “someone” has a better life because of this and that, but you never know, you might be that “someone” for someone else as well.


Until next time....

Take care :)
