No, the blog isn't dead yet.

..Once upon a time
There was a girl
She lived in a valley
Let's call her Sally.

That's what I come up with when I strain my brain for a story. Needless to say, I suck at it. But well, not everyone hated the earlier posts so I'll take that as a good sign. A sign that I shouldn't let the blog die. 

I've been thinking too less and sleeping too much recently and I've realised its not good. Ofcourse, it makes me happy. I'm doing what I love doing, which is nothing. Hence, I'm not trying to be good at anything. Hence, I'm not facing competition in any field. Hence, I never have to think, "..shit, I'm not the best at what I do." Hence, I'm happy.

*sigh*

If only it were that easy to be happy. 

Happiness is a journey, not a destination. 

Well, I resent that. Why oh why can't it be the destination? You work hard and reach a stage where you can be nothing but happy and there's no going back. 

Then there's another one , 'Everyone wants to be happy. No one wants to be in pain. But you can't have a rainbow, without any rain.'

So we suffer through the rain for the rainbow. But have you ever noticed how short-lived the rainbow is? You see a rainbow and you go, "Looooooook! A rainbow! Wow! Where? There!..Where!? There!..ohh..wow" and in a minute, its gone. Ok, maybe its a little more than a minute but still, the way I see it, I should at least get five hours of rainbow for an hour of light rains. 

That's the way it should be.

But, of course, it isn't. 

Ofcourse it's a whole day of harsh rains, another half a day of light drizzling, and only then, you get a glimpse of the rainbow.

Its cheating. Its not fair and there's no one you can complain to about it because hey, that's life. Life isn't fair and its almost never unfair in your favour.

A super genius once said: "Expecting life to be fair to you because you are a good person is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian."

I only call him a super genius because I can't recall his name. Maybe it was a her. But that's beside the point.
The moral of the story? Don't expect a hen not to peck you if you're a vegetarian and don't expect other animals to be nice to you either. Why? Because life isn't fair and animals aren't smart enough to tell if you're a noble vegetarian or a not so noble non-vegetarian.

So enjoy the rainbow. Even if its for a minute & don't cry when the rains come back again..after a little more than a minute.

Its not like you can do anything about it. Might as well learn how to dance in the rain.
