The pic that pains !

Yesterday I was looking at my friend Rusty's Orkut album and found above picture and I donno why but it really touched my heart. The caption of the picture says "The pic that pains !".

For me this picture is more inspiring than painful. What inspired me was the smile on the face of the old man. I believe he would have lost all his belongings to the floods but still he manages to save the odd old sewing machine (probably his most priciest possesion) and carries a nice smile on his face, what a beauty! I can see his enthusiasm to start his life once again from scratch. Man, he is a real warrior. Hats off to the old man!!! He seems to be much younger than most of the people around me and probably including me.

I have seen people cribbing about petty things and being sad about the thing they cannot control. Come on! World is full of misery but the same world is also full of happiness and wonders and its you who has to choose from either of them misery or happiness.

The message I got from this picture is that its you who define your life. Pains and misery are part and parcel of life and if you have a positive outlook towards life then no pain is big enough to ruin your life. With each pain and misery you tend to become more strong and probably more practical. Be positive and believe in "Failure is just one step towards Success".

"Duniya sabko kuch na kuch rang dikhati hi hai... But asli insaan wahi hai jo har rang ko JEET ke rang mein badal de!"

I would suggest few songs for everyone :

1) Khudi - Junoon
2) Fatela Jeb - Aankhein (thanks to Sunanda aka Badgirl for this)

and there are lots more.... let me know if you come across better songs! :-)
