Smile.

Ps: Journal entry.

My eyes are slowly shutting down. Mentally exhausted with all the thoughts of past, present and future, I sit in this fastest Govt. sponsored vehicle in India, of course by paying my ticket. The night has fallen but I see no stars. The breeze blow away my little hair – I hope I wont get bald over a night. 

My headphones are plugged in and my Gaana player seems to be judging my mood quite well. It plays a mix of slow melodies and fast numbers. I can hear from Yesudas to Sachin Warrier. Sometime the little words in the song catch my attention. Sometimes I fall onto a different track thinking about everything under the sky. When I lower the voice, I hear the guy next to me flirting on phone. The girl nearby is blushing on phone. The grandfather is taking care of a notorius boy. Everyone has a reason to smile.

Definitely my life is far from settled. There is pressure from every possible angle. This is where I envy Virat Kohli. How does he tackle pressure so nicely? Hell. I cant even manage a handful!

But as I think deep about my life, I find myself smiling. I look at the guy opposite to me. He is of course puzzled at the sudden change of my mood. I give him a bigger grin and turn my gaze back at the never ending darkness. Why I just smiled will always be a big reason to keep smiling. I am following my passion.
