The fall..

Yesterday, after having my bath as I turned to take my towel, something happened. Frictionless floor paved way for a nice freestyle motion and there I was on the floor. As I was going through this effortless ordeal I tried to get grip because I knew I was in trouble. But as I landed, I understood, its only a little pain in my hips that I can feel. I thanked my lucky stars. As I was stepping out thinking I will clean my bathroom floor tomorrow, I lost my grip again but this time I managed not to fall down. Sometimes life’s smallest incidents teach you something profound.

1. You cannot control what is going to happen in your life but you can surely protect yourself against it or work towards if you want to have it. In my case I could have done it had I been just aware of my present situation. Life could be excruciating at times, but having your trail of thoughts pinned to it will only end you up in shit. So, just be aware. Remo d souza says “life is all about the next step”. Literally, it is. And if you don’t learn your lesson the first time, its going to hit back soon . These days even your karma works with “insta” hashtag.

2. Once something happens , there is no looking back. Once you run into it, its better that you stay calm because there is no other option. Instead of getting into panic mode, it will be better if we can get ourselves to act at that moment and save ourselves.

3. Something did not ever happen to you doesn’t mean it will never happen .There are zillions of people in this planet, I am sure many would have passed through a dirty floor, but not all of them would have fallen. There might be some balance that is being maintained by the weights of our own good and bad actions. So embrace uncertainty.

It is amusing how certain life situations remind you something which you already know yet you act oblivious. It was a small incident, because I was not hurt. Had something serious happened, I wouldn’t be in front of my laptop sitting and writing about this and sharing this with you. I could have been hurt, even after being aware. The reason why few people fail to get answers to “why me”. It is comforting when you think of them as jerks by small potholes in the road of life, to warn you and make you strong when you fall into big potholes.
