Roller Coaster Ride ....


My happy days are starting. Rohit exams are over. Next two months are going to be free from Maths, Science, Social science etc. Time for me and my new books J. Thanks to ISD for arranging a book fair at the right time in CDC5.

For a moment, let’s think about Roller coaster ride. How many of us like it? I think, except for very small kids and adult with some major health issues, others all like it. I had been in it few times. What actually happens in that ride? Once after we put on our seat beat and the ride starts, we start experiencing all possible twist and turns, everybody starts screaming out of fear and/or joy. At every unexpected moment, we get a turn or a deep fall etc. OK, now the ride is over, once after we step out, what do we see in each of our faces? Little fear and more happiness. We talk about how each one of us felt and even we joke about each other’s experience. Nowadays they have hidden cameras to capture our emotions during the ride. Whether we buy it or not, we take few minutes to see how we had reacted during that ride.

Why am I writing this? I am not going to take you all in any roller coaster ride, as we are all already in one. I read this line in some book "Life is like a Roller Coaster ride"` Yes, I hope we all agree to that. We experience every possible unexpected twist and turns in life. But do we enjoy life as we did in a Roller coaster ride. May be yes - when something good happens and No - when something bad happens. Is it because many times we are forced to come out of our comfort zone ?

Most of us are worried about Change. If you are also one among them, please read the book "Who moved my Cheese?". Very small book and good story line and above all it reveals profound truths about Change. It talks about the following

·         Anticipate Change

·         Adapt to change quickly

·         Enjoy change

·         Be ready to change quickly

After reading tell me which character you are? "Sniff and Scurry" or "Hem" or "Haw"?. Let’s try and enjoy the roller coaster ride “our LIFE”. J
