"How come?" You might wonder. Well, just the other day I was thinking that December always seems to be the season of Love. Kinda crazy since Valentine's Day is in February... but when I look around me today... I find everybody falling in love. Falling in love with their latest crushes/better halves... whatever.. planning on getting married or having babies. I see the heartbroken finding in themselves the ability to love again... I see everyone trying to find the good stuff in their lives and enjoying it.
I guess its more to do with me and the way I'm looking at things than with people changing. But, for no particular reason, this month seems to have brought magic with it.
I found myself singing "ba ba black sheep" during lunch today. Before an exam. Everyone was so tensed up.. I kept chattering and blabbering (being myself ;) )... but to no avail... The situation called for drastic steps.. I was getting so bloddy tense myself.. which is NOT good, especially before a pratical exam in which you might be asked to do anything from using a Lathe machine to drilling to carpentary. So, I started to sing.
You should have seen how easily everyone started to pitch in and forget about the exam and how Mr.Terror ( that's what I call the lab in charge) ,Mr. Bum-chum 1 and Mr.Bum-chum 2 ( two of his helpers, who are always stuck together.. that's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw them ;) ) were going to try and take revenge for all the times I've jacked them..
Why am I telling you this? 'cus it amazes me as to how easy it is to lose urself in a simple nursery rhyme.. made of simple words that rhyme with each other.. What to infer from this? Life's simple. We complicate it. And its the kids who point us in the right direction, with the simplest of thoughts and statements and sentiments...
...here's what the kids order, for all those who have questions on love...!!
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
