Are you glad?

P.S.: (Of course i mean Pre Script :P) The first time i'm giving such a weird title to a blog [:D]

There are countless things happening throughout the world, at the same time. Family litigations, land feuds, technological advancements that would enable anyone to sing and make it appear like a seasoned singer, or the ones that allow you to take a sneak peek at the neighbour's house from a satellite view, endless allegations made by systems of bureaucracy across the planet, molestations, murders, accidents.. the list doesn't seem to end!!

Yes, most of our inquisitive brains like to know of all these so that we can be prepared. Prepared against what would, or what could occur to us. Time is unpredictable, you never know what can happen, right?

Knowledge apart, what one tends to forget in due course of time is how blessed one is. Blessed in terms of having a plate to eat, and importantly, having something in that plate, having water to drink, and a place to sleep. Alas, the very hectic schedule and timelessness coerces every individual to stop and take notice. 

There would be someone at home to pamper and take care, that is when it is disregarded. Like it is said, the true value of a thing or a person is realised only when they are away. Only a person who doesn't get to eat everyday can describe how it feels like when he eats a stomach full of food. Only a child craving to have something he likes for a long time can tell how much he would preserve what he yearned for, from such a long time. Only someone who narrowly missed an accident would best explain what could have happened. 

Luck depending, most of us are fortunate enough to have all goods in the life, but still end up complaining. Next time a morsel of food is wasted, think of the young children in remote places, who don't have access to even a quarter of what you have. If helping them is beyond the reach, one moment of prayer, another of thought for these poor little people can be done. At the same time, for the goodness of state of mind, it is necessary to think and rethink that how glad we are.
