Long back, when I was watching "Bachna Ae Haseeno", one dialogue struck a chord with me.When Deepika says " लोग sunrise और sunset को देख कर इतना philosophical क्यों बन जाते हे ! "I had my own experiences with sunrise.My philosophy grew from a saying.
When I was in my 10th standard I was admitted into hostel.Considering the fact that I was a big nerd ,(no way you can imagine me that way now :P) I always sought solace in inspirational sayings.Like all good schools even my school had inspirational and enlightening poems hanged on the corridors.Daily morning around 6:30, while moving towards the study hours,I stopped by my principal's chamber.On the top of the door,a beautifully portrayed writing hanged.I used to devote 5 minutes of time every day to read it.(As I used to be among the meritorious students..my warden never really held strict restrictions on me.I had the advantage of being myself :P) Reading it during the sunrise had even more charm.Somewhere deep,it lets your heart to blossom.Now,I may not remember the entire composition but the ending verse stayed with me for long time.It goes like "Life's battle doesn't always goes to the fastest or the strongest...but it goes to the person who thinks he can win it". Till date,I recollect it every time I fell I am falling back.This saying is a priced asset in my mind.Every day which started with this morning activity stayed bright.May be,that's how my mind worked.(It was a sort of a flying start to a day)One day,while the whole batch left for class rooms,I was alone standing there.My chief warden saw me.He glared at me.(I was feeling little awkward...obviously you don't want others to think you seek inspiration...It is something everybody need but no body wants to reveal it).He came down to me and read it.He smiled but this time,little cleverly.He asked me "Do u like it?".I said "Yes...I feel inspired" (Instantly I swore at myself...cant you hold back ).He politely replied "Nice...it will take you a long way...Now its time..go to class".On my way back,I grinned.I was not expecting that from him.I was feeling far more relaxed.May be, everyone will have their own story of developing their attitude and character.A part of mine was just out.Seeing up,I had realized that sun was shining bright.
Coming back to the present...I have now gone through a nostalgic trip down my memory lane.May be...every dawn will have an effect !! :)
