For granted

So we live, we search and work to get things we need and of course we complain.Say we complain about our water cooler, we complain the water ain't cold enough and stuff. But hey wait a second we are talking about processed water here and where did water come from? Nah just water and we take it for granted!There are simple things,we use them everyday but we forget to appreciate them and take them for granted.

Now lets start with a pretty small thing that can make you feel embarrassed, your Pant button.Imagine it stopping to hold on to your pant when you are in a team meeting and you holding on your pant that's going down, the Marlyn Monroe pose huh?

Time.Its just amazing as to how we take time for granted except for a few like Einstein I must say.Yes 60 seconds make a minute and a 60 of which makes an hour and so it goes. But is that what time is? Have you ever thought 'What if time decided to take a break and froze?'.Of course its against laws of physics but regretfully laws of physics keep changing.

Now lets take our bodywhich does amazing things and keeps working even when we sleep.What if it goes on strike after you sleep? you'd never see next day.Well take sleep too, what if it just refused to happen? Insomnia.How bad is that now?We had all the time in the world to sleep as kids,get into work that requires you stay awake all night then we'll realize its beauty.

Its really funny to think how highly we think of our lying skills and that the whole world will fall for them.Asked my friend if we could go out for a movie this saturday night(I knew he was going out with this girl so I just wanted to get this outta his mouth) and he tells me he has a family function this saturday night. I asked him if it was after 9pm and he said yes!A family function after 9? What are they going to booze? I laughed my ass off. That lie was a shocker he couldn't make up a better reason,he just took it for granted that his lying skills were good enough to fool me.

Next comes an interesting thing that I took for granted till I had a funny experience in NCC army. Its fun to do things together with friends all right but to shit in open together? Well that's exactly what I found out about how much we took restrooms for granted.

And the most beautiful and undervalued thing,emptiness,silence.Of course its nothing special,its just nothingness.But work in a noisy factory or a woman's beauty parlor(with due respect to their ability to talk to infinity) and you will know how much we have overlooked silence all our lives.

I wonder where it started? Its so interesting to notice how much we take for granted in life? Was it the same even when we were kids when we had a question to everything people told us and we appreciated every simple beauty around? I guess so, at least for me even when I was in my preschool as I always took it for granted that the guy who sits in front of me in the exam hall will come prepared so that i can copy from him.You too took it for granted?
