This too shall pass : "There's Always A Blessing In Disguise"

..."Listen, please don't forget to give me a window seat. I just hate aisle, especially when it's going to be a long journey". I said at the ticket counter.

{"Excuse me! Can I please take the window seat"???}

After so long, I had been fortunate to get a window seat. I was getting comfortable on my seat, scrolling up the playlist of melodious songs of Bruno Mars and getting the absolute nirvana from the Boat Headphones. For the past few months, I was so much indulged in the mental hassle. But, the clement weather and the captivating view of the dense forest out there were relieving all that mental clutter and making the moment ecstatic. It was so beautiful outside that I couldn't resist myself to get the headphones off and get myself entirely soaked into the mesmerizing beauty of nature.

As I just put the headphones off my head, a sweet voice with not so gentle tone caught my ears, "Excuse me, are you deaf or something? I have been asking you for the window seat for a long, can't you hear?" Without a pause, I reverted to her in the same tone, "Hello, are you blind or something? I had headphones over my head, can't you see?" After a moment, she gave an apologizing expression and asked in a very gentle manner - "Would you please take the aisle seat? I just don't feel comfortable here. I would be so grateful to you if you please."

She said in an extremely polite manner with an innocent smile on her face that I couldn't resist myself to agree. As I was criticizing my fate within and just getting myself ready to get off the window seat and come to aisle one, a firm but the most irritating voice came from behind -"Let her sit na! You boys are so careless. You just don't care for others and especially ladies ( she accentuated over 'especially ladies'). As soon as I was about to respond, another bold and more irritating voice caught my ears -"AAJKAL KE BACCHE BHI NA... (the kids nowadays...they are so hopeless)".

These were the familiar voices of fellow passengers sitting behind. Well, these people are so fu**ing free in their lives that they can't live without interfering in other's matters. Though, I always respect the elderly and listen to them indeed but only up to the moment they are giving a legitimate suggestion or advice. I just hate these 'chatterboxes', especially the ones whom I don't even know. No matter which means of transport you're taking you'll find these kinds of IRRITATING PEOPLE almost everywhere.

As the beautiful girl standing next to me had already spilled water over my good mood and now this! In a matter of few seconds - 'the beautiful rainforest' out there had been converted into a piece of barren land' for me. I was flabbergasted and turned my head over them to let them pay the price for all the litter they had spilled. Noticing the heat of the moment, the girl standing next to me, who was the actual culprit for all this happening, hold my hand and gave an affectionate gesture to cool me off.

"He is ready to give me the window seat han! Why are you interfering in between?" She said in an arrogant tone this time.

Someone was sitting comfortably on the window seat, looking outside and mesmerizing the beauty out there. But this time, it was her, not me. And, I was doing nothing but just looking into oblivion and trying to find comfort in the aisle seat.

I get the headphones on and played the Bruno Mars playlist, to find the 'gone NIRVANA' all again. But the 'magical songs' then, were sounding now like the 'sad ones'. I get the headphones off and get my best friend out of the bag - 'my books', but they didn't work as well.

Well, I didn't notice that the beautiful girl sitting next to me was noticing everything. She initiated the conversation with a common 'Hi', but with a not-so-common 'charisma'. I responded in a dull tone. She started saying "I am sorry, I know I have spoiled your mood. But, please trust me, I didn't want to hurt you or put you in a state of turmoil." After this, I looked at her and realized that she was damn gorgeous. I could see the feeling of forgiveness in her glittering eyes. "It's okay" I responded ( in a cheerful tone this time ).

We had arrived at our destination. The last ten hours had been phenomenally wonderful. Neither of us wanted to get off the seat. But we knew it, that's it! That's the end of the most remarkable journey I had ever come across in my life. The feeling of utter irritancy had now been converted into the deep levels of affection.

There she goes!

She waved off and said the last words - "Thank you for the window seat Mr. Anant Vyas".

Four things which you must learn from the above incident:

1. Don't be extremely comfortable in a position. No matter if you are extremely happy or sad. No matter if you feel like you are the luckiest person in this world or exactly opposite to that. Just don't adapt yourself so much to a peaceful place that you just can't get yourself out of it. Because that's actually what life is. I am not saying this as a negative neither a pessimist person, but that's the reality. Life wouldn't let you stay in a position (where you feel comfortable) for a long time. If you will try to be in the same position and won't get out of it, it might have adverse effects. 

If I wouldn't have left my comfortable position ( the window seat ), I have no need to mention all the repercussions of it. Simply, it wouldn't have ended in a beautiful way.

2. You never know what life is going to offer you. Even if it is giving you any kind of pain, keep one thing always in mind that a bigger surprise is waiting in the queue. If you are getting a 'No' somewhere, a big 'yes' is getting ready for you somewhere else.

I got to lose my window seat but besides getting the sadness of losing it, I got many folds of eternal happiness which was far beyond that sadness.

3. It's unanimously accepted that nothing ( or at least most of the things ) wouldn't go the way you want them to. Don't try to mold things. Always keep in mind 'there's always a blessing in disguise'. The above incident from my life is a perfect example of it.

4. Be kind to others and respect them. It feels good.

Neither the girl had any proper reason to get the window seat, nor she had any authority over it. I just gave her the seat because it made me feel good deep inside ( yeah, it actually did ). Start doing good to others and witness the change in you, in your life.

I would be immensely happy if this blog post and these lessons would help you somewhere ( even in the minutest way ) in your life.
