Life's thirst quenched with Water


H I J K L M N O



Now I am going to talk neither about the deepa mehta film, nor about the chemical properties of this heavenly fluid. Still I will scribe a couple of lines on the two.

1. Water was a film by Deepa Mehta, which triggered violent protests while being filmed in India.
The movie followed the lives of Hindu widows and its filming in India was abandoned few years ago after hard-line Hindu protesters burned the sets, claiming the movie distorted Indian culture.

2.Water is an oxide of hydrogen that is essential to all known forms of life-is a simple definition.

Water existing in its different forms on this blue planet, has more in store than being "essential for all forms of life".
Wondering what?
It holds more “for living life” too.
The different forms of water reveal different mindsets that we need to employ at different times in our life.

A highlight on the various forms of water and what to learn from them is below.
So get ready for this trip over the different forms of water. The medium of travel is “Water Cycle” of course!!

Rain:
The beautiful drops of pearl, which descend from the mighty heavens upon the very land that we live on, are seldom experienced in my state (TN). This has given the realization of how important it is, true to the oft-quoted saying:
“We realise the worth of something only when we miss it”.
As the spray of gleaming liquid leaves its fluffy floating abodes and makes its way towards the earth, it tells us, however great we are, we need to shed our ego and get humble and down-to-earth (pun intended).

Lake (pond):
This silent mass of water, residing in its own enclosure is an example of how we should be calm and composed in any situation.


Waterfall:
The crystal liquid lies at a great height, undergoes a tremendous fall, flows with greater speed after the fall.
It portrays that you should be good enough to conquer great heights and daring enough to live through the greatest hardships. You may suffer a mighty fall, But the fall should be a rise of its own.


Sea (oceans):
-Humongous bodies of water that cover more than two thirds of the earth. They conquer more and more land everyday thanks to global warming. The oceans depict what life is. The following lines are common to both life and the Ocean.
You don’t know what is in store for you.
You don’t know how deep it is.
You aim to conquer it, but if you are careless you get conquered.
It’s easy to get lost without a guide.


Ice:
Ice is Hard enough to allow an army to climb on it, still melts upon exposing to warmth.
We should be firm in the decision that we take. All the same we should not be adamant like a rock but give a hearing to others suggestions too.

Dew:
-Fresh, cool, glittering gems atop the tiny blades of grass.
Depicts how cool and clear our thoughts should be.


Waves (tide):
Perpetually moving between the coast and the inner sea, the waves teach us how active we should be.



River:
Flowing incessantly from source to Sea, the river never stops. Even when it is contained with a dam, it doesn’t lose its energy and keeps increasing its depth. And when released flows with the same speed.
So is life. Whatever happens, life cannot stop. It’s got to go on. Every time you get a failure you should utilize it to improve yourself. You may fall down, but you should get up every time you fall down. That’s what life is all about. And that’s the secret of success.


Water has lessons proportional to its abundance. It is as precious a guide as much as being a resource. So, next time you feel thirsty, go in for a cup of water rather than a bottle of cola. Who knows what that little cup of water can teach you!!!
