Enter the matrix

Hurray! It is a long vacation this time. Seems like school days are back. Excited about going home. Together with friends and family. Long walks into the green fields. The early sunrise and lazy evenings. Home cooked food. No office calls. No internet. Lots of books to read. Family functions and festivals. Old streets and new houses. Old lanes and new markets. Old city and new people. Going summer and incoming winter. Comfortable chill and fading sunshine. Long philosphical chats. No sensex and no investments. Family picnics and beer nights. Old school building with new paint. No competition but collaboration. Helping out Mom. Discussion with Dad. Laughing out with cousins and aunts. Wide lanes and broken roads. Clean air and stress less sleep. Small rooms and big hearts. It is a long vacation this time.

The statement reveals a simple but a very powerful truth. It has been a guiding force for me for quite some time now. It is very encouraging when everything around is crumbling and it becomes hard to keep the self belief. It comes handy when everything is going right and it is necessary to keep once composure. This idea helps me treat both the failure and success equally. I may look like a idealistic moron but believe me it does relieve me from the pain of loss,dissappointment and failure. It also has helped being fare during good times but was hard to remember for sure then. Today when the things are not very good and the self belief has taken a beating it has come as a god gift providing some latent energy to keep me going. I may be scared now but this too will not last forever .
