It was like any other dusk when I just took out a pack of ready to fry snack “Potato Smiles” to accompany my cup of hot tea. I heated the oil and slide couple of Smiles in hot oil. Round, plump and frosty Smiles with a big smile on its face.A minute before they were shivering in cold. Now swimming happily after they have dived in hot oil. The splutter drew my attention to them again. The comforting frost was dying away in the heat and leaving Smiles all exposed in an unknown territory. Everything around has changed but one thing, the happy big smile on their faces.
This get me thinking about life. Our life is also a collection of such tiny journeys, like freezer to hot oil and finally on to plate. We keep running into times when our comfort zone is challenged to enter in a unknown testing territory. Always these testing times are for a period and of course how we have dealt with them becomes foundation of something else in life.
But what is most important is how we have been in that time? Do we have the courage and endurance of Smiles. Can we keep smiling even when nothing seems right?
Most of the times the answer is “NO”.
Sipping my cup of tea, I kept hovering in the philosophy of Smiles. Philosophy of keep smiling.
