My 7 days of positivity!!!

Here comes a much delayed positivity experiment...

Starting today, I will be acknowledging 5 things that brought a smile to my face, things that made me realize that life is not always about the great things, but also about the small imperfect little nothings!

So, here goes my list for the day... (actually i might have some problems in defining my days, since my day kinda starts now in the night!)

1. Rain... amazing weather... lovely breeze, and no raincoat! what better way to start the day!!! For a change I didnt want to take the artificially cooled Metro!

2. No tension of ward leaving (that is a viva that med students have to give to prove that we have attended a clinical posting and have learnt enough to atleast make a list of possible conditions a patient may have- the list usually consists only of the diagnosis that we have seen from the patient's file or worse still- have asked the patient himself! ;P)... I have always been told since childhood- "If you are tension free before an assessment, it means you are either very-very well prepared, or not at all prepared." Have never been the former, but being the latter allows you to enjoy before and after exam!
Btw... what did I learn today in the wardleaving- "Kab, kyun, aur kaise ka gyaan= vigyaan"

3. I was witness to a colorful CP (bad luck, I dont have a camera phone anymore). As a result of a fire that broke out in the Rajiv Chowk metro station and tripped the yellow line of the subway, people (mostly Fuchchas/ freshers) pooled about in the inner circle of CP. On any other day, I would have been frustrated by the crowd, people everywhere amidst the construction debris. But, not today. The weather changes the way u look at the world around u. Everything seemed so bright and colorful around me. People are such a pleasure to observe- the way they dress, the way they speak, the way some are curious to see what happened, the way some are restless to go on with their life, the way some stop and admire their sorroundings... everything!

4. Always look out the window when u take the blue line of the metro. U can see loads... the yamuna (for a change flowing like a true river in the monsoons), the akshardham mandir, the stadium besides it, the games village, and if u look carefully u can see the beautiful structure of the new Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in the distance (besides the humayun tomb), and the symbol of Delhi- the Lotus temple!

5. Came across 2 beautiful quotes:
(a) "Life need not be perfect for it to become great"
(b) "Don't quit while the night is darkest for it is just a while till dawn"

Wow! wrote so much for a change... i did deviate a lot from what i was saying, but that is what i always do- ramble!...

Thanks Sucheta for ur positivity experiment!!!

P.S. sorry for the drab post... will try to make it seem as cheerful as it sounds in my head! (will carry my cam frm tom!)
