Thoda Aur Wish Karo

The sea does not gift those who are too anxious, too greedy or too impatient.One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach-waiting for a gift from the sea.

The poor lack much, but the greedy more.

There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.

If wishes were horses beggers would ride.

It is a sad heart that never rejoices.

Kill not the goose that lays golden eggs.

The more you have the more you want.

These are some of the Proverbs which hit my cell screen post my Accident, from my friend, Mahi when she realised that my wishes were fast increasing day by day. Initially, I just prayed for a shift  from the hospital at home, which subsequently led to a bit of movement from the bed  and now for a stroll downstairs. She always guides me from time to time but her efforts are always put down by me when it comes to my impatient nature. After constant hard-work from her side over so many years, there is no reduction in my wants, on the contrary they are  fast increasing. She always tells me to be happy and satisfied in whatever I have and not to crave for more. Sending Quotes was one of the many methods adopted by her.

Thoda Aur Wish Karo has always been my principle of leading a successful life. I never understood or even bothered  to understand Mahi's fundamentals. As a symbol of courtesy I was forced to pretend, how much I was disturbed mentally by the biggest question of my life which she was trying to explain it to me:-

"HOW TO REMAIN HAPPY AND SATISFIED"?

 Life is a game and you can't enjoy it to the fullest if you obey all the rules religiously. I agree that I always urge for more things than what I have and even try to get them. I don't want my life to be monotonous  with no thrills and excitement. I don't mind even if there are pains and sufferings due to my impatient nature; of course not at the cost of my family and friends' happiness. Pains and Sufferings are the part and parcel of our life and  if they occur due to our own fault then facing them will be even more wonderful and enjoyable, I guess.

Alas! This effort of Mahi too might not reap any benefits.
