Last night, after spending an entire Sunday noon in relaxation with my happy family, our dad decided to take we kids for an ice-cream party.
“Ice-cream party....wow......!!.....what a great
idea......!!...” we thought.
Excited by the idea of cool refreshing fun, we all
reached “BASKINS ROBBINS” in fully energetic mode and got lost in the colorful
melting world of fun...frolic....flavor....!!....As each member of the family was busy choosing their favorite fancy
colors, tangy toppings and crispy chocolaty cones, a thought struck my mind all
of a sudden.
What I think is- too many options spoil the real
taste of originality. Whether this choice is made while ordering a pizza in
Domino's/Pizza Hut..or...selecting the flavor of your favorite tea/coffee
while sitting in BARISTA or CAFE COFFEE DAY… And on many occasions such list of
choices can be frustrating too.
But this idea soon went into clouds as my bro got me
my favorite butter-scotch topped with tooty-fruity chocolate flavor decorated
with fresh strawberries and cashew nuts which give me a feeling that-
Nothing in the world could give you more pleasure and comfort then time spent with your family, sharing this colorful melting ice that lasts only for few minutes...
What an irony I must say…!!.. But too much of my amazement, when I was about to take the first bite of this melting icy-bar…… a small kid of about 8 years of age, in tethered dusty clothes came near me and touching my feet with his tiny little hands asked me for that fancy icy colorful bar in my hand....

But too much of my amazement, when I was about to take the first bite of this melting icy-bar…… a small kid of about 8 years of age, in tethered dusty clothes came near me and touching my feet with his tiny little hands asked me for that fancy icy colorful bar in my hand....
Looking at his embarrassing condition deep inside my
heart I felt, as if a heavy stone has fallen on my soft soul. In the eyes of
that little one I found the real greed and hunger to taste the flavored bite of
that fancy icy candy......
And without wasting a second, I bought an ice-cream
bar for that tiny tot. And too much of my surprise, in less than a second that innocent
little kid opened the wrapper of that ice-cream and put that icy color bar into
his mouth.
This touching scene made me forget to eat my own
favorite flavored ice-cream in my hand, melting drop by drop. And
instead, I watched that dusty little kid licking that ice-cream at full
pace, satisfying his hunger. I was really moved. That little boy didn't want
even a single drop of that icy joy to be left without being enjoyed.......
He was relishing each and every bite of that..........Somewhere or the other that kid directly or
indirectly taught me the entire meaning of life........which is very much like
a melting ice-cream.....
And the question arises how......??....
So here is my answer, before my favorite flavored ice-cream
melts away. Here I go........
"LIFE==ICE-CREAM"
Just like an ice-cream, life too contains beautiful colors and flavors in the
form of happiness and sorrows. Life too gives us a chilly joyous experience, through
its ups and downs. But the real essence lies in the fact that- it all depends
on you how you rejoice and derives happiness from its various colors and
flavors. Or in other words, it is up to you, how you enjoy all the big and
small moments of life, before it melts away and comes to an end.I must say, hats off to that poor little kid who
really knows the real worth of each and every drop of life....oops....sorry….life
no…!!....what I mean to say was.......
Real worth of an ice-cream...!!!..... Thus, what I want to suggest to you all is......
When your life is moving at full pace and you have no time to relax just take a…
Chill-pill ice-cream breaks.......
And lick this juicy icy bar of life to fullest, so
that you get its real taste......
Life is all about "living, sharing and giving happiness."
Enjoy your life to the fullest and don't you dare miss its single bite........
So just lick...and slurp.........ha-ha...!!.....
