When life throws lemons at you…

When life throws lemons at you…make lemonade – they say!

But as I realize itz not easy!

You see you cannot make lemonade just like that! The idea is.. thanda thanda cool cool! But dude! U got to know the KNOW-HOW! here’s a small guide…

Umm…lezz look at wat all we need… the right amount of water (I think to start with)…or maybe…start with lemons..

So you cant make lemonade out of all the f*ing lemonz that r thrown at u…((I think there has to be a show stopper as well!)) But you have to pick up the right number…
What I mean.. you have to segregate your feelingz…

There will be all kindz of lemonz – (BAH! Yes therez a variety in the variety of lemonz that I am talking about) and all sizes of lemonz (here time, priority, stage in life and ur perception of all these–play a role!)

So STEP 1 --pick the right number of lemons…

I’d say pick up the biggest and the juiciest ones first … maybe it’d hurt less then!
But I dunno .. sumtimes it’s the simplest and the smallest of feelingz that hurt you the most!

STEP 2
Then you ready some sugar I think!

U have to make sure u have cheeni man! Cheeni kam hone se nahi chalega…
Dats y they say …frenz r important! They r like ur sugar..and all d lemonz in the world will just stay lemonz if u dun have ur sugar to turn it into lemonade! They’ll just keep hurting!

Sugar also teaches you to be sweet – to the world around you… although I personally think that it can nvr taste itself!

U will be surprised – if u ever realize – how much ur frenz (d real onez) do for u .. just accept u the way u r..
((rest all r fellow travelers lemme tell u .. the onez who suddenly pop up .. wave at u in recognition…leave a mark on ur hard disk.. but move on … with sum u r left wishing that they nvr nvr move on! But… ))

but real frenz… they stick on.. and they are ur best teacherz…. Afterall they have learnt to deal with the person that is U .. sth that u urself haven’t been able to deal with yet!

STEP3
Then water…dats ur life source! Remember that and remember that well! and dats got to be u … I’ll tell u y!

U n I r at this point .. an ocean of emotions inside (I know bec u see …life chooses xactly that point to throw lemonz at u)..
an ocean which has no deen-imaan of waves, tides…sumtimes Tsunameezzz… yeh! Am sure you know wat am talking abt! One moment it is iz this… and the other .. it is that…
In fact … ((in this particular aspect…)) I can now count my life in terms of seconds.. minutes.. hourz…days, nightz, eveningz, sunsetz, mornignz, cool breezes, hot afternoonz…weekz, monthz… and in some casezz… yearz! The thoughtz n intentionz are ever changing at each levelz and to that extent!

Anewe…we were learning how to make lemonade!

So the water .. first has to be clean n clear! ((Obvsly it wudnt show a bit later)) but to start with…it’ll matter!
You will have to segregate ur feelingz… see them as clearly as you would look thru a transparent jug of water… this is important …and here’s why!

First up… you’ll have to face urself…wat u feel – wat u think – and y u r acting the way u r! and yes… how much it IS hurting u! Even if its shit, even if its crap, even if its scary…but there’s no escaping from the this one person in the world – urself! cry it if u have to…but NIKE!

Second, study REFRACTION! Its important!
Understand the nature of ur own perception of the situation…Its like looking thru a transparent jug of water!
That’s once you have cleared the water – of the various particles that might be clouding ur vision –once you have identified ur feelings…here’s what you u do!

Imagine looking thru a transparent jug of water! U see a jug .. you see water .. but you’ll also…LOOK BEYOND! That’s the important thing!
I am not saying that the image will not be distorted! Laws of refraction dude! But I realized…they don’t teach you only science!

The difference between the distorted image and the real image .. is the difference between YOUR perception and the ACTUAL SITUATION!
You are at point A – the jug and water are POINT B. And POINT C is supposed to be the TRUTH – the actual reality.

However .. wat U n I see my friend – is the image…! The image that suits what we want to think – the image that’s guided by what you feel! The water u see is/are you feelings!

Am not saying you are seeing it wrong … what you feel is YOUR absolute truth for the moment!
But as long as you realize that this .. that ur truth… is your PERCEPTION…is YOUR feeling… you are doing fine my friend! That’s the reality! Your observation is complete in this second of time!

Hmmm…STEP 4 – ((uff am already tired ya! See .. I told you its not easy…I almost wanna NIKE!))
Anewe…. So you got ur feelingz, u got ur frenz who have learnt to deal with these feelingz of urz, and you realize that ur feelings are ur viewpoint…
heck… wat am I talking about!

Sry .. what I meant was … u’ve picked up lemons, you’ve got sugar and some water in a jug… umm…

I think the next step is to u mix them all up!
I swear this is the most bitter thing! Stirring dsnt come easy buddy!
There’s a moment when u go eureka – make that call on ur speed dial – wake ur best frnd up in the middle of the nite.. and say! f*! U know wat.. I dint realise this! You know wat am feeling like now..
cry, laugh or drool… just go on!

The next time you stir – the round that u make in the ocean, the water … therez more coming… itz crazy, itz fun, itz new, itz losing urself – each particle inside the jug is changing…
U r losing ur self created image ..

And then u stir more! You may have to juggle… adding, deleting or making up for each ingredient .. and see wat combo tastes right to u!
You cry – wail .. and like everything inside the jug – u do so silently! There will be moments of confusion, utter dismay and hatred! Of love and bonding .. and you r going to spend hourz being lost!

And then .. just like the way the sugar dissolves… just the way its extremely difficult to dissolve… yet .. dissolving only makes it sweeter… you will learn to dissolve ur thoughtz!
Just the way the lemons accept…the sweetness of the sugar.. even though its not itz own… you will my frnd learn to absorb the lessonz!

And just the way – the water – that plays the ocean – accepts both the lemonz and the sugar – two opposites – tastes and natures – thoughtz and feelingz… and allows into itself the tides and the wavez and the tsunameezz… you will my frnd .. in both ur head and heart – understand…accept and learn!

How it soo happenz in both cases…still amazes me! But it happenz… and dats wat is important!

And YOU my frnd!... will have learnt to make lemonade!
