Could anything be more beautiful than the buoyancy of strength--in the face of challenges, difficulties, and even disasters?
Strength--not as brute force, but as the ability to reach out and connect, to ask for help, and to heal from pain. In studying resilience --as the field itself is known- today I explore the human story in its essence.
Story of a person born into tough and even terrible circumstances, who is taking fate in his own hands and somehow managing to reshape lives of his loved ones.
Story of Sukhdev (cleaner @ sarvapalli) indeed the kid is the dev of happiness as his name suggests..
He works right from 6 am in the morning till 10 pm at night and studies till late night. Each day I saw the guy and felt I wish I can go and speak to him and tell him how remarkable he is and ask how he manages work and study so elegantly. Wish I could learn this art too .where most of the people enjoy the rich educational facilities of NIA this guy out performs most of them with minimum facility.
Once during a casual interaction I asked him I have seen sometimes people are rude to you how do you take it? How come you're so resilient r His answer, brilliant and pithy, was simply this "I have learnt the ability to turn every tragedy into comedy." And the ability, surely, to embrace both.
I guess it were those wise words that are helping me perform so well even in a totally new place of work

Listening to some 1 :)
The otherday i met a person and went on listening how she felt on loosing the biggest support of life... the long story can be summuried as below
oohh i just sneezed...... bless me !!!
Awesome song by train-Hopeless
I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I'd tell it to your face
But you lost your face along the way
And I'd say it on the phone
If I thought you were alone
Why do things have to change
But you don't need my pictures on your wall
You say you need no one
And you don't need my secret midnight call
I guess you need no one
Is anybody waiting at home for you
Cause it's time that will tell if it's heaven if it's hell or if it's
Anybody waiting at home for you
Cause it's time that will tell this tale
You're in and out up and down
Wonder if you're lost or found
But I got my hands on you
Are you strong enough to tow the line
Are you gonna make me yours
Or do I make you mine
I'm in and out I'm up and down
Wonder if I'm lost or found
But I need your hands on me now
But you don't need my pictures on your wall
You say you need no one
And you don't need my secret midnight call
I guess you need no one
Is anybody waiting at home for you
Cause it's time that will tell if it's heaven if it's hell or if it's
Anybody waiting at home for you
Cause it's time that will tell this tale
I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change
oohh i just sneezed...... bless me !!!
