“Have you felt silk lately..??” ad of Cadbury Silk right? Don’t worry I haven’t changed by profession to marketing and won’t bother you with the pros or cons of having a chocolate other than Cadbury. For those who know me, I don’t say anything just like that. So here comes the reason to quote the jingle.
Felling Silk, an awesome feeling right. Right from saris to our shirts silk will always have its place as one of the best in the league. But for me the definition of silk is a bit different.
Silk is a feeling for me, a feeling of pure happiness. Happiness which is not there in having a fat salary at the end of every month, but in spending that 10 rupees on an ice-cream. Happiness which is not there in surviving a hard day of work, but in that short nap on my way back from office. Yes, these things are tiny, but these are the feelings of “Silk”.
Throughout our lives we keep on dreaming and achieving things which we think will make us happy. But we end up running after one milestone after another. We end up being jealous and greedy. Well that’s human nature and Homo sapiens that’s a characteristic that had made a permanent place in our genomes. But what’s the point in achieving milestones in your life if you don’t have a bucket list of things to do? What’s the point in achieving things which will make you an achiever but will make you lonely?
Love others, live like a mad at times, live like a bohemian at times. It’s good to be imperfect at times. Fill your hearts with silk, fill your dreams with silk, feel the silk, and most importantly let people live the silk life with you.
