An Incomplete List of Things I Learnt In The Last Five Months:
1) Deeds really do bear consequences
2) The consequences more often than not turn out to be in exact opposition to what we expect or desire
3) Contrary to some popular new-age beliefs, we aren’t always able to create our own reality. There are occurrences that our stuck-up minds simply cannot control. Learning to surrender comes in handy than.
4) Impermanence of phenomena is a FACT, not just a flashy slogan-material to quote to one’s lovers for the sake of sounding cool. And, impermanence HURTS like hell.
5) Not to take things for granted. Cliched much? Not to be the arrogant, up myself, nonchalant – and naïve- bitch who acts as if the world should tiptoe around her.
6) As per continuation on more positive note: to be grateful for what you’ve got.
7) To appreciate my family’s selfless love for me and generosity.
8) One has a relentless capacity for falling down and getting up again. A blatant strength of spirit, or potential for survival,
9) And you’ve got to keep trying.
10) Antidepressants are a crap cure for grief and loss, but
What I Am Hoping To Learn (Soon):
1) Time is DA (healing) BOMB (tinged with good amount of soul-care).
Alas.

Time, time, time is the only effective healer I know. Welcome, Miss Smilla!
