As I sit back and look at the trails I had to Undergo for the Little Nida to get into college, I and My mother were sat down recalling her antics...
Long back as a very little Kid, She came back from school early. And As usual she was telling her Grandma how "everything" was going in her life. but today for her thing went wrong ...school was too hard, family problems, other than her illness, her severe pain in the stomach, just all the hardships she was going through in her life, her friend leaving the school and going to Canada.
Meanwhile, her Grandma was baking a cake as the Holidays have started. She asked Nida if she would like a snack, which of course she does love anytime.
My Mom Said, "Here. Why don't You have some butter."
"Why will I have Butter?, Its Bitter and I will become Moti" said the girl.
My Mom Said,"How about a couple of raw eggs? They are good for health"
Nida Said "What a Gross thing to have, Naana. Don't you Know, I hate the smell of Eggs"
My Mom Said,"Would you like some Maida then? Or maybe at least the baking soda? Soda is good for stomach"
Nida Said, "Naana, Stop making fun, I know for sure those are all yucky things to have!"
Because it rains when we wish it wouldn't,
Because men do what they often shouldn't,
Because crops fail, and plans go wrong
Some of us grumble all day long.
But somehow, in spite of the care and doubt,
It seems at last that things work out.
Because we lose where we hoped to gain,
Because we suffer a little pain,
Because we must work when we'd like to play
Some of us whimper along life's way.
But somehow, as day always follows the night,
Most of our troubles work out all right.
Because we cannot forever smile,
Because we must trudge in the dust awhile,
Because we think that the way is long
Some of us whimper that life's all wrong.
But somehow we live and our sky grows bright,
And everything seems to workout all right.
So bend to your trouble and meet your care,
For the clouds must break, and the sky grow fair.
Let rain come down, as it must and will,
But keep on working and hoping still.
For in spite of the grumblers who stand about,
Somehow, it seems, all things work out.
To which the her Naani replied: "Yes, Sweetheart, these things, Butter, raw Eggs, Maida, baking Soda, all these seems bad by themselves. But, when they are put together in the
right way, mixed properly and with all love and tenderness, they together make a
wonderfully delicious cake! Similarly God works the same mysterious way with each of Us.
Many times we wonder why would he let us go through such bad and difficult times, but, God knows that, when He puts these things all in His own mysterious way, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually the yucky stuff will make of our lives something wonderful!"
Well After this long conversation with my mom, Nida agreed with her grand mother and recalled SRK's famous Dailogue from DDLJ Bade Bade Deshon mein, choti choti batein hoti rahti hain...
So Don't Be Dishearten. He who Dances,Will Fall sometimes, but that does not mean that you cannot dance. Don't Worry yourself about the little things that happen to you. No matter how bad it is, always remember, it could have been worse. But Life is still beautiful.
That Was a Nice Poem by Edgar Albert Guest. And I'm Just Pondering If Edgar Albert Guest is right!!!
