Recently spotted
something that once again proved what I always say. Life isn't about always
going for the best, the magnanimous. Most often it’s the small, sporadic,
little things that bring immense joy. As for me, a surprise long drive by Mr. Hubby,
a plate of my favorite pani puri, a call from an old friend, birds in my
garden, etc etc ….all bring a smile on my face.
These pics were
captured while I was waiting for bus at Neemrana. Due to extensive construction
projects, one can spot many labor settlements. In the heat and dust, the peals
of laughter from these kids was such a relief. While their parents were away at
work, they were enjoying a swing ride, on such a different swing – the body of
a truck!
We always crib
about the lack of resources, time, and happiness. But these kids were real
innovators & knew their way out and have a good time.
Sometimes we get
so busy in the rut of life that we forget the happiness that simplicity
beholds. Then God gives us these moments to tell us, happiness is inside! I have written about this before here...
Good Innovation with resources available and for you Shaivi , nice presence of mind to click those in the given situation.

well... enjoyment is resource dependent and brain with thinking ability is the biggest resource given by Almighty to human beings !Its nice to see the capture and would let me explore ideas to tie a swing somehow in my varandah where I can drool in peace !! :D
ReplyDeleteThe Almighty has given us the biggest resource a brain that can think and the capture and the post is a reminder... :) nice capture BTW :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet picture this is :) Makes you think of all the things we have but don't appreciate.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, real joy lies in simple things!

ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, well described.. Ya I believe that happiness lies in small small things around us and within us.. Like you said, birds in garden, their chirp outside in the balcony, a newly blossomed flower brings happiness..

Superb. It's interesting how kids transform seemingly difficult situations into their liking.
ReplyDeleteYou are right,even if big issues suck,look for joy in small things.
ReplyDeleteAs for the innovation of such kids,i too have often witnessed this.
Let it all stop and let me count my heartbeats for a minute and make sure its still beating in this fussy world..
ReplyDeleteLet my eyes stray in distant realms, let my thoughts wander beyond boundaries..
This in above post is such a simple but the deepest observation.. the way we all, you and me should live, we are lucky... it really should make us love each and every aspect of our life, our time and our petty troubles...our stupid frustrations etc etc.. :)
So very sweet...people often forget the simple pleasures of life in this hectic, monotonous and rat-race existence! It needs to be learnt from (these) kids!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the smallest and most beautiful of things in life is what we often miss out.
ReplyDeleteSuch a heart warming capture. Instantly appeal!

yes.. we should look for happiness in small.. things. because in general, we keep sucking at big things.. and are unable to accept reality that we suck.
