Is the glass half full?

There was a time in life when a half filled glass always looked half full to me. Then came a time when I started noticing the empty part too. The realization of the existence of the empty part increased with time. At one point of time I realized that this realization now was so great that I forgot that the glass is actually half full.
And at last I got the entire picture, as I saw the glass entirely, the glass was both half full and half empty.

I would like to think of the current situation in our country that way.While we have achieved everything that we have since independence, there are loads of things that have to be changed, starting from our own attitude.

Whether it is our Indian media or us Indians in general, we have to realize that the glass is half full as well as half empty.

Questions

Questions.. They are an inevitable part of life.. One of the primary qualities that differentiates a human from an animal is curiosity. The human mind constantly manufactures questions.. Questions about everything around. The whats, the whens, the whys, the hows, the whos, the whiches..etc.  I don't think the list is complete.. While the human mind is practical enough to realize that a life time is not enough for it to work out all the answers, it tends to chose a select few questions that bother it the most and starts working towards getting the answers. And this defines the course of life that man wants to take. Whether every human embarks on this journey or not, one cannot say, because not always are circumstances favorable, and not always is the mind strong enough to fight the circumstances. 

But whenever a human being has embarked on this journey, on a quest to find answers to these questions, it is mankind that has benefited 

Sleep

A peaceful sleep..

That is what everyone wants at the end of the day.. The blissful feeling that a good night's sleep can give me is truly unmatched.

To me, sleep is a true indicator of happiness and contentment. So when in doubt while making a decision, one of the factors that I consider is this:- is this going to give me a sleepless night? Even if it means settling for something lesser, I really don't mind as long as its not something I would have to lose sleep on.

While people have their own priorities, a good night's sleep is high on my priority list.
