A COOL shower calms a HOT MIND!

Standing under a cold shower after a hot day is really refreshing. Believe me when I say it. I know I might sound like am trying to sell old wine in a new bottle. But that's definitely not true. Sometimes when we have a horrid day and don't know how to feel better , soothing music is the answer no doubt.

But if it's a terribly hot and sultry day what seems better than a cold wash. Today I went out window shopping with a friend of mine. It's funny that when you have a friend by your side and loads to look at you never realize time just zipping by. These are the times we really learn to cherish as we roam around aimlessly and worriless on the streets of Singapore. But that does not mean that we are free of worries. It's just the moment of being free from the monotonous chores of the day or a certain space.

Freedom from home, from work or even a classroom- gives a certain kind of relief to the soul. The spaces we get confined in are out of choice purely. It's like a chess game. We make the moves we like. But if we bored of being stuck in one place, we move forward and get royally slaughtered so as to speak. But moving out of the space on and off is essential as we never know when we'll lose our sanity.

When we sit in one place and don't do anything- our life loses meaning and our brains go haywire. We seek no proper sense of direction in our life as we whale away time endlessly. That is the time we need to start acting and not just talking. Pure talk will not get us anywhere. Hard work is necessary to succeed in life. But that doesn't mean you should get hooked to work all the time. Work is as important as life. Just as you need to sort out your priorities in life, the same way you need to take time for your self. You need to travel, see the world and explore the multiple selves hidden in you.

When I finished my BA degree I thought I would take a one year break. When certain people hear me speak about a break they ask a break from what....I know that it seems silly to ask for one. But guess what... I ended up doing my MA too. And now when I think of the decision I took I don't regret it. But the funniest part is when I am ready to work now I can't seem to get my hands on anything. That is the irony of life. It never works the way you want it to. You need to go with the flow. On the advice of my grandma I pursued my MA and now when I think about it, I couldn't have thought of a better option. Now circumstances are making me change my mind again. Life is like that I guess- full of ironies meant to twist our life at every turn. Every moment is unpredictable for we are not sure of what might happen next.

One minute we celebrate happiness, next minute death. Nothing remains the same. Even the moods of the person. Just because a person is grumpy in the morning it doesn't mean he will be the same the entire day. And if he does take my advice just dump a bucket of cold water on his head.

Body generates heat but it also cools down. People do so too in the same fashion. For how long can a person be angry...not a lifetime till I know. A shower or some music will soothe the nerves you know at least that’s what works for me. How about you?
