Surprises,surprisingly add enough power to build a great wall of china all over again!
Dated:31.08.07
Happy days are special and more are days that brings us loads of great surprises as happiness. There is always this cute little happiness when it comes to giving surprise or getting surprised. There is an unbound energy attached to the surprise factor. Surprises are special in their own way.Surprises add amazing memories to our beautiful life.There is something no camera can capture. Those are called special moments and they are always a pleasure to recall. They are soul touching experiences and have the ultimate power of adding unlimited love to life. And surprises are one of the most important ingredient of these special moments. Everytime we think of surprises, it brings loads of happy memories and tonnes of unseen energy with it . It creates thought processes as close to the ones like "I feel like I am flying in the air". Style and substance, attitude and dedication, love and laughter, innovation and excitement are the special elements that make surprises the best moments to recall all through our life.
Surprise as the dictionary definition says ("To cause to feel wonder, astonishment, or amazement, as at something unanticipated") is a bundle full of unanticipated lovely moments. Surprises show an array of profound feelings and emotions, to cherish for the life.Hence surprises as I would define is "a renewal of life".There was this small incident that strikes my mind when I think of the word SURPRISE.
It was a beautiful evening, and the climate obviously made me take a walk to the park.I sat down on chair enthralled by the sight of the sunset. And my mind wandered into the dreamland as usual. At my vicinity I could hear the voice of two guys. But since my daydreaming(or eveningdreaming!) was spicy I didnt make an effort to turn around and look at the direction of the voice.Suddenly their serious, loud topic halted my daydreaming.The part of conversation what I overheard:
GUY1:"Sorry I couldn't come on your b'day and wish,my grandapa's sudden health problems didnt give me time.But alas my wishes are always there with you.How was your birthday da?"
GUY2:"Frankly Speaking this b'day is the closest to my heart of all the b'days I've had I guess.I would call this birthday a very special one and a storehouse of strength for the whole year ahead, how good!My college friends made me bunk the college, telling me they will take me to a farmhouse. And when we finally arrived at the destination I didnt see a farmhouse in the vicinity.The only thing I could see there, was an Ashram.Before my mind could work out Q&A's they took me in, telling me that there was small work.Inside the big hall what I saw was LIFE in its Fullest form.Around 50 little kids standing in a perfect row and column fashion. A decorated table with a beautiful b'day cake, placed in the center, right near the entrance of the hall.And as we entered the kids started with the b'day song while my friends continued.Astound by the emotions of the kids and my friends, my eyes were filled with tears.I knew my friends would have spent enough money for this. But this surprise made me spellbound, thus making the whole surprise worthier than a billion dollar gift for me. I knew even a cheque worth crores would not equal this surprise. And I now understand that I have been gifted with marvellous friends, who know how good a surprise could do. This b'day added a meaning to my life's ship. And the unimaginable fun that the kids and my friends gave me added colors to my life.
(there was a small moment of silence, indicating the intricate emotions that held both the guys in serious thoughts. And then the conversation continued.)
But since it was already late I had to leave the listening job and go home.
Back now ,this whole episode in my life adds so much meaning to the word "surprise". I could now understand how good that surprise could have been for him. Surprises do not require auspicious days(like a b'day,wedding day,................). Anytime a surprise would make a change in the perspective of life. So if there is dull mood killing your loved one's life, plan a surprise which would bring back happiness in their life. And if your getting bored with the monotonous life, plan a surprise, it would work wonders. Surprises can sometimes help you come out of problems. Like if something was making your optimism die, think of the beautiful surprise that someone had given you or you had given some one. Think of the profound emotions and ultimate joy that the surprise had brought with it. It would not only add optimism back to your heart and brain, but also bring back energy and power to rebuild a whole new and prosperous environment around you.So surprise always goes by the tag,"Good Memories unerased by time".
A surprise need not mean spending heck a lot of money on it. It could be anything from simply calling up a friend after a long time to taking a surprise holiday from your work and just staying at home with your family. If your this I ONLY DO WORK kind, try taking simply a day out and letting the people around you talk to you.You'll feel the difference of surprising them by this simple act.Sometimes there would have been so many things that you wanted to tell someone, but did'nt do because of some factor. Now surprise them with what you felt. That can be one sweet kind of surprise. There could have been times you would have liked a painting, a poem,your friend's wardrobe,some hotel's food.........the list goes on.When you like something do go and surprise them with your words. Like even if you were a stranger, dont hesitate do go and tell them "your poetry was too good or your painting had life". This little surprise act of yours, can earn you wondeful moments and blessings all through your life. And this thougt was the only one that made me think of "what makes us special" sequel idea and now I can understand that surprises add a lot of value to the SPECIAL YOU.And after all appreciations add colors to the expressions of both appreciator and receivers life. Who knows it could also add a new friend (surprisingly) to your list! These are small surprises that can be added to everyday life. Because these little ones can stand as an everlasting memory in your life. And when you recall them they could bring back your happiness, enough to uproot the worst believes that you ever had.
And surprising someone on a special day could be even more beautiful. They could kindle the innovative ideas that your brain has in its storehouse to plan for the surprise. And if your lucky enough to get surprised on your special day,do RELISH it, because not all of us are this lucky!
With this array of thoughts on surprises I leave you with just one thought finally, think of how surprising our life is-"Unpredictable yet special"........a surprise in its own way.
Sweet Dreams
