"seeing the unseen"

Since last few days i have been thinking..what inspires me?What makes me develop a liking or fondness for someone?Is it a talent or is it just an instant clicking?
I believe a lot in the "instant clicking" concept..you meet so many people everyday..every hour, at times every minute..but you just don't give them the required attention.
Stress has been my bestfriend since the time i joined my course,but i can't have such bestfriends if i want to live enough..so i started with this small routine.Everyday i try and sleep as early as i can,being a night person,it was a little difficult at first,but i had to try hard ,real hard,it worked!
Every night before sleeping..i make it a point that i read atleast for half an hour,i love reading,nothing specific as such,when am in an intense mood i go through my favorite Paulo Coelho's books,they really relax me,people smoke up to get into a different state,i just need a "Brida"(one of his books) to get into one!Other nights when am in a super bugged state,i just flip through the monthly Cosmo, Elle,Hair etc magazine issues,they send me into a different world altogether ,so basically the idea is to read something that you can relate to and something that makes your head "lighter" because that guarantees a rejuvenating sleep!
Mornings are difficult as the "wake up" alarm just doesn't let me sleep,sigh!But its just a matter of those few minutes and once am up it's all good.After getting done with the morning chores,i make it a point to eat something that tastes "good",fruits are a personal favorite for the mornings.Rather than taking an auto,i prefer to walk.
Now here i start with what i really wanted to share with you people,i can be given the benefit of doubt for being a girl here!
Everyday i get to observe a lot of interesting people during this 2 km walk of mine.At that hour of the day,roads are generally full of office guys,surprisingly they are the most chilled out ones,pleasant expressions,smiling and chatting away to glory,maybe it's the happiness that comes out of a "well settled" in life state,justified!Then i have people like me,"students","design students" to be more specific,always running around,hands grabbing plastic bags full of crap that is turned into "trends",fighting with the auto guys(the most ill mannered and pathetic species on earth) and then finally walking down.Then we have the "mausis",the sis is pronounced as "shis" in Pune, the most lovable ladies,greeting you with a smile forever, happy to feed you,they are the perfect start for a difficult day!Also on my way i get to see "mochis","maids","poor kids" and other men and women who cannot be categorised under any given category as such.They all have become a strong base for my learning,am a girl who cribs day and night,for having the most messed up life,too much of work,illness and the single status ofcourse,but since the time i started observing these people closely i realised that am blessed,blessed for being able to study,for being able to eat,for having good friends and a stable family life.There is no "perfect" in our lives,these people struggle everyday to fill the "basics" in their lives,but still don't even get close to it,at times its really hard to digest the suffering they have to go through
.

But the best part is that unlike us,they don't crib,i have had personal conversations with a few of them and they are genuinely satisfied with their lives because in their case "survival is the real victory".
So i just want to say that always keep your eyes open for the real people around,we might go through a lot of shit,but everyone does,that cant stop us from being happy,nothing can.Also i have my answer now,i know what kind of people i like,i like "real and genuine people with substance".
Be open to a change,learn from it and always keep that smile on!
