Elevation

It's quite ridiculous how there are extremes in everything around us. For all the mountain peaks, there are ocean beds. For all the hot summers, there are chilly winters. For all the rock and hip hop, there is Jagjit Singh. And for all the extreme lows in life, there are highs.  Highs that excite you, amaze you, levitate you, just make you feel alive.  Highs that are a constant reminder that no matter how bleak times could be, a better day is just out there waiting for you. All you have to do is wait. Wait patiently, wait during the dark times, wait when you are in pain, wait when the world is against you, wait when you hit rock bottom. When you wait this out, when you wait out the extreme rock bottom, you have waited out the worst. It's all elevation after that. Elevation from the dark towards light, from the claustrophobic sorrow towards the enriching joy, from despair to life. Life which is beautiful, rewarding and satisfying. Life which is full of surprises, full of challenges and full of experiences. Life which is to live. To live every moment, everyday, everyhour, everyminute, everysecond. Life which is just once.
As a great man once said ''laugh, live, smile, you never know, Kal ho na ho".
