We often hear people saying that life has been tough, it is unpredictable and cruel but I disagree .Why? Has life been easy on me ?Has it showered me with roses? 

My answer to this would be NO..Life is a precious gift from God.Uh need to fill colours in it in order to make it happening. Like many others I too have my experiences, my failures,my pain, my side of the story which has taught me a lot about different perspectives on life.Being the eldest child to the couple who were raising her in a conservative setup, being dominated by paternal beliefs,having seen family splits drama, having no cousin or friend of the same age to answer my queries.Having my childhood as distorted as a child's toy.As a teenager, growing up in a scenario where my father went jobless, feeling the depression, taking up a job to support and fulfill family needs wasn't easy but life does it all for me.Today I don't blame circumstances for the times I've witnessed but I thank them for the kind of person they have transformed me into.I'll always be thankful to situations, people, my parents, for teaching me not to fail in rough situations, not to look for someone else in distress but standing up and creating my own niche ..

We must have heard that when life gives us roses, we become happy by the way of ease created when it gives us lemons, why can't we make lemonade and drink it.It's all a perspective my friend .We tend to shape our beliefs by our traditions, our upbringing, the kind of subjects we have been subjected to.

In our entire life, if asked what according to you will be the most important stage which has the ability to completely divert your ways.I would say that it is teenage .The age where you grow differently, where you learn so many things, where you explore the unexplored sections, where hormones undergo drastic changes,where body demands such attention from us which might not get addressed from our side. Yes, in that very age I had such a crisis which shook me from inside(that part will be covered in some other blog).The crisis of life, rather the crisis of direction in my life made me realise some brutal truths which otherwise would bit have been accepted by me. BUT

Yes, you heard it right.Life is not what it seems to be..It is way too beautiful ..

Why??The answer would be probably in the next blog.

Till then keep reading, keep exploring.
