See to believe

Do we really HAVE to see something to believe it? Does everything depend on equations that can be solved and answers that can be proved? 

The MIND...Wikipedia defines mind as "the aspect of intellect and consciousness experienced as combinations of thought, perception, memory, emotion, will, and imagination, including all unconscious cognitive processes"

Per science, doesn't all the above listed thoughts, perceptions, memory, emotions, will, imaginations etc. narrow down to electrical impulses in the neurons and couple of chemical reactions that take place due to the hormones? But, definitely these occurrences are more complicated and self-sustaining than proved by man. 

The mind therefore is something that defies the need for scientific facts to prove it. A child doesn't need a DNA report to acknowledge the warmth of its mom. Animals don't need a scientific validation to recognize, nurture and care their little ones. Likewise, there are amazing mind-blogging occurrences that take place in this universe to which science does not have an explanation. Ultimately, science was developed by man, and would hence be limited to his discovery alone. But that doesn't rule out the existence of the undiscovered. 

Well, definitely there does prevail something beyond evidences, equations and solutions.

The belief to see..

Imperfectly Perfect

"Being Happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you have decided to look beyond imperfections.” - Anonymous

Life takes us on a roller coaster where we encounter varied situations and different people with diverse interests. It's full of uphills and downhills, the design of nature..Not everyday is a good day at work. Not everyone you meet makes you feel good. You don't always get a chance to be the first one standing in a line. The coffee in your pot isn't always full and steaming hot. An intention to help someone doesn't necessary always help them. The stoplights might not always turn green as you approach them. The stranger you meet, might not always smile and reciprocate back at you.
But, isn't that the beauty of life? If everything seemed perfect always, the joy of unexpected suprises disappear. The situations and people we encounter, all come with certain characteristics that define them as an individual. Accepting them wholeheartedly and acknowledging the little imperfect things they treasure, can be compared to the beauty of a jigsaw puzzle that amazingly interlocks imperfect shapes to finally form a meaningful picture.

No one is perfect. But conjunction of imperfect things does make one.

Raindrops

Finally it's Spring !! The nature is wearing it's new robe and the cool showers that pour down on earth give rise to new buds. The chirping of the birds and the fragrance from the moist soil takes me back to the nostalgic days of my childhood. I grew up in a country known for rains and the schools used to be closed at this time of the year, giving me ample opportunities to enjoy the nature. The rain showered profusely and puddles formed near the sidewalks, were a hotspot for paper boats and paper planes. The moist soil was a breeding ground for the rain insects that popped up to the surface after the rain. The sound of the droplets, the raindrops on the petals of the flower, the sight of the colorful butterflies, the humming of the bee, were some things that showed that life is indeed something beyond just assignments and projects.

Fast forward 15 years...I've moved to a new country. A country known as the land of oppurtunities which is indeed thousands of miles away from my sweet home. Lots of things have changed. People have come and people have gone. Ralph Waldo Emerson was right when he quoted  “For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”

But the nature remains the same. It still continues to clear the old and bring in the new. The trees that looked gloomy without the leaves are now beginning to smile. The dreadful cold winds that  brought in snow is now being replaced by a warm rainy breeze.

Life is beautiful ..
