A Great Moment.

Maldives Sea with amber sky
Look at that amber sky, it has the power to shape perfect men and women who choose to fix their gaze upon it.

Once, an old man and his grandson were at the beach, staring at the sun as it dipped into the sea. The calm sea and gentle breeze created a comfortable moment for relaxing their minds.

Suddenly, the child asked his grandpa, who was still looking at the amber sky,

"Papa, what is the most valuable part of the day?"

The old man stayed silent and held the child's hand softly, and then said,

"I think, Evening is the most valuable part of the day. We can sweep away the tears and sweat of the past hours since morning dawn, and it's a moment to celebrate what we have achieved within the day. Finally, we can review the hours we have passed and draw a sketch for the next fresh morning."

"We cannot change things that happened in the past, but we can shape the next day with our past experiences. Then, I believe evening is a great moment in our lives. Look at that amber sky, it has the power to shape perfect men and women who choose to fix their gaze upon it."

The child tightly held the grandfather's hand and smiled softly, greeting the last sunrise of the day.

A little purple flower.

  As I hold the flower in my hand, it reminds me of you, Every morning, when I open my window, I'm greeted by a little purple flower on the window sill, almost as if it's saying 'good morning!'  As I hold the flower in my hand, it reminds me of you, and your beautiful smile seems to reflect in its petals. It's like a reminder that I want to start every morning, and every moment of my life, with your lovely smile.

A life like the sea!

Image
  The ocean is not just water; it is an amazing creation of a number of strangers. When I stare at the sea, I only see water surrounding us. Water with various shades of blue. There’s nothing more than that. But you know, if we can think beyond what I see at first glance, this blue! Where does it come from? Actually, it is the result of sunlight and various factors. Do you believe it? The waves that compose the ocean symphony! Who makes that amazing? The wind comes from all around the world with various sounds and noises. If you dive into the sea, you can see millions of amazing things with your own eyes. So, the ocean is not just water; it is an amazing creation of a number of strangers. So that's why I don't like private life and a small circle around me. I like to talk with strangers, old fellows who have passed their life through so many ups and downs. People meet in public transport, each with a lot of day-to-day stories in their minds. The market sellers, drivers, mecha...

Rose

  “No,” I said, looking at Rose, not at her. I held a flower in my hand, a red rose. “Rose,” I called to her again. She smiled at the sea without looking at me. “I know you can hear me, baby,” I cried. “And I can see you,” she said. “You didn't look at me,” I replied.  She was smiling. She waved her hand without turning back or looking at me. I sat there on the grass mat instead of going closer to her, facing her back. “Why are you not coming here?” she asked. “Like, if you can see me without looking at me, I can feel you without getting close to you.” “You are late now.” She is still smiling at the sea. “You have changed, it seems,” her voice changed suddenly. “No,” I said, looking at Rose, not at her. I held a flower in my hand, a red rose. “Are you crying?” I asked. “No.”  But she is crying. “I am not going to let you cry anymore. I need to keep you happy, as I told you. As I promised.” “Yes, I know.” Still, she didn't look at me. I stood up and stepped towards her slo...
