THE MIRROR

Ella woke up in the middle of the night or rather was lying awake in intense thoughts and decided to break the warp . Forcefully she pulls herself out of the bed, She doesn't even know why . She isn't hungry or thirty , she is just tired . It's a quite night with a few cars passing by , the cars whooshing through is the only movement she feels and hears. She looks around her room , its very very simple a wardrobe and a bed and it ends there . Slowly she makes her way to the wardrobe , which has a mirror panel. She stood in front of it and stared . Stared at every feature of our body . Just beside the mirror was one of her old photographs. 'Spot the difference' moment was going on .

THE TAX OF HAPPINESS

Happiness a wonderful drug which we are addicted to since birth . At first , life just throws happiness at you , luring you in , getting you addicted and just when you think that yes , i have reached a state of inner peace , life starts asking for tax .  Is the feeling of happiness enough to pay the tax ? what is the tax ? Well, its basically anything that makes you unhappy , from minor inconveniences to major fall throughs ,  All falls in the theory of yin and yang , the balance of life  . Without us realizing  it  life does balance it out . Each moment of happiness is equalized with each moment of pain , so we are kept neutralized .  Maybe life doesn't want anyone to be completely happy . What is complete happiness ? a brief moment which passes by in the blink of an eye. How many times can you handle the balance of life ?how many times can you pay the tax , till you decide not to smile at all?
