Everything comes with an expiry date.


End is inevitable.
  • Myth 1-You are extremely sad. Anguish, frustration and melancholy have crossed all limits. You cannot see a single silver lining anywhere amidst dark heavy clouds. You think your pain has no end. Truth is- Your pack of sadness has 'expiry date' printed in little small letters,need is just to find it out.

  • Myth 2-You are lonely. You are at peace with yourself. But you need someone to share your every blink of emotion. You have none. You feel alienated. Initially this seclusion used to cheer you up since it saved you from chaotic voices all around. But now it sucks! Truth is- Your glasses need to be adjusted. Even this bottle of mediocre loneliness has distinctly inscribed expiry date.

  • Myth 3- You are happy. You are enjoying everything. Smile does not vanishes from your face. Yet you have your doubts,if you are happy or not. Do you have rights to be happy. Ain't you posing. etc. etc.Truth is- Expiry dates were put on this bottle even before 1st two bottles.

So what should you do?

  • Become gloomy because you already know that everything will end one day.
  • Act like a saint because you think you are aloof and have maintained enough distance from extreme emotions.
  • Be happy because you have nothing to lose?

You have three options again

  • Cheer up! Frame a belief that cheering up is from within. So it has neither a price tag nor an expiry date. You can do that whenever you want.
  • Find happiness in smallest things of life. Even a rotating fan,lush green blades of grass shining brightly in Sun or a honeybee trying to make home can make you feel happy. Just recognize the chances and grab it. It's a tough task indeed and needs creativity too. Yet, why not! After all creativity is not from brain,but from heart.Give it a try!
  • Count your blessings, your assets, the well wishers who think of you fondly in spite of all distances and lapse.

We all are lucky. Isn't it?
