Pysche Mariposa

Since our school days, we love the summer season more which brings the summer holidays. But winter is always awesome because of the beautiful weather and the cold that it brings along.

May be it wasn't my one of those Bangalore's winter days, I guess. Cause it was scorching sunny day and just like any other typical software engineer's 'black-box' computers and work tension.

I decided to step out for a cup of tea. I'm not addicted to tea, but only during those moments I get to relax and hear my own thoughts, thoughts called as 'out-of-(black)box'. I was sipping the hot tea under the shed of the tea stall, near the office. With each sip I took, there were recursive thoughts about my life, my work,  my family and  about "What kind of a Life am I living". It was so mundane. And then she fluttered past me.

With her beautiful colours. We all know the fact about them. Butterflies are colourful. And that day, those colours on her wings It was nothing like I have ever seen before. I couldn't even compare that beauty to any other butterfly I have ever seen in my entire life.

I felt bad that my DSLR photographer friend  wasn’t with me right then to capture her colours.

That very moment, when she flapped her wings and fluttered away I felt a breath of fresh air. I felt all my tensions were fading away like editing an image's brightness and contrast in a single swipe in a Photo Editing App. And it just made my day.

"Excuse me!!!", interrupted my empty tea cup. Which brought me back to reality, back to the humid sunny winter day. I looked again at the butterfly. All these days and these years we were cherishing only the beauty and elegance of the butterfly. But, the most beautiful Butterfly in my life, does it know anything about it’s own beauty?

She is just another insect in this beautiful Earth. Just like us, another living thing inhabiting the same Earth. She spends her life searching for other smaller insects to live and to survive. We are also no different from  her, our lives just gets tougher with each passing day. We have to survive. It's not like we are the only who are always facing problems in life. There are many for whom every second, every minute and every day is a battle for survival.

Despite our battles,these butterflies brighten up our life. For that few seconds till they disappear from our vicinity. Even though we have our problems, there is always someone somewhere in this world who is watching us and admiring us and our life. We may not know these admirers personally. But we are beautiful to that someone whose survival is more tougher than ours.

Live the moment and keep smiling, you are always inspiring another homosapien, even at this very moment, right now!!
