hello bloggy!
the other day i was sporting a really hideous bright orange color nail paint on my toes...as expected i had to listen to an array of bad comments ranging from "where the hell is your sense of style??"...to "this girl is nuts!"...and the feminist in me sprung to action and i said i shall wear whatever color i feel like..thats the positive of being a girl!..i am privileged to wear such colors on my nails...something no guy can do!
anyways the point being i spotted some women workers going out of my office today..they had come to fill water from the water cooler...dressed in the traditional chaniya choli...with safety shoes ...and the beauty conscious me just sat haplessly gazing at their shining skin..no doubt they were all very dark skinned yet their skin had a glow that modern day corporate girls like me get only after shelling out a 1000 bucks for the gold facial..
i just sat gazing at them...they went in a group..laughing and teasing each other...smiles lighting up their faces...big bright genuine smiles...
and then it struck me..they are happy ..and contented with themselves..they live each day one at a time...working hard during the day..earning money ...buying dinner and being contented...that was the source of that glow!!
we live in an envelope of worries all teh time...worry about promotion..worry about looking drop dead gorgeous ..worry about losing weight ...worry about getting married..worry about n number of things!...it never stops...we just smile so less!
but some day life is going to stop..its better we stop before life stops!
stop to look at our own selves lovingly in the mirror...accepting all our own flaws...loving our selves without expectations of perfection...loving our work and all others around us!
life is simply running away...let us catch our breath before we run out of it!
PS: i care a damn about anyones comments on my nail color..but i did change it to bright pink!!:)
