Adjudicated Parallels

 The best things in life are available for free of cost. Though this seems as an inane thing to say, but it is all the more true. We have been accustomed to the lifestyle of paying for the best of things and have lost the true finer things that one has to cherish the most in, as they say, translation. Getting out of the rut helps in these cases. A great thing to live by this gold standard of weighing the best things is to ask a person who is facing an imminent death to unravel. One of these is the life story of Anne Frank. She explained to people that we take life for granted as and when we get to enjoy everything at hand. But she experienced the imminent death in the form of an invasion of her country during the Second World War. This war and the situation she is, along with the life revolving around her family, changed her approach to living life completely. Had she been a survivor of this war, she would have lived her life differently. These finer things are all around us: famil...

It even creates an attitude or liking about things such close coworkers can project on them. Good company of colleagues helps to strive and work hard at the office.

It is very heart rending when changing one's location or moving to another place. The friends changed while doing this is of the utmost difficulty. Old friends are dumped for new --though without one's say in it-- and the transition takes a toll. There is a five-year-old girl near my condo and she is moving to a different place in a few days' time. I liked her innocence and used to buy her eatables every now and then. She became attached to me through this. The fact that she is moving to some place else makes her seek play from me every evening. It is very difficult to see her cope up with this. The world is full of harsh realities and one has to be accommodating of these to make a living blissful. Though time heals everything, the very aspect of time to pass through it to be healed is its practicality. Bearing such immense transitory phase's sorrow or time-bound inertia can be taxing on one's emotions. But, who cares? Life must move on!
