Broken, loose earphones!

Traveling seems almost difficult without a pair of earphones. Day when you can't reach out for few of your regular I-can't-live-without things, you tend to freak out. Few such things (keeping aside the necessity such as wallet and cell phone) are: watch, lipstick, rubber band, sanitizer, moisturizer, and ear phones (in no particular order).

One such evening, traveling back home, I boarded an airtight-packed train. I reached out for my ear phones as usual. Came out of my purse were two strings of black wires, which were way more tangled than my early morning loose hair. When detangled, they pulled apart to the core, which was the 3.5mm jack insert. My traditional earphones appeared way more lousy than me on a Saturday morning! I wondered if I'll have to go through a boring ride! Now what?

A fraction of a second, and my innerself told me two things. A) I'm going to plug this in and check if it works. Even if one of them works, I'll be happy. B) If it doesn't work, for a change, I'm going to look around the sunset in a concrete jungle.

I started with A. Without panicking, without reluctance, without doubt, or without worries, I implemented A. I plugged them, tested it with a song, and bammm! They worked! Perfect sound with all those whatsoever bass-tremble-sound effects :)

As a self-made promise, I started looking around sunset too. Then, I tweaked the promise a bit and began writing this article!

With some soothing music, sunset, boarded on a train, writing this article, what did I learn?

I learnt that things are not as bad as they appear. Situations are not as uncontrolled as they appear. People are not as devil as they appear (well few are :)) Sometimes, life throws unexpected errors! Unexplained facts! Undesired choices! We are expected to live through all these! The more we panic, the more difficult it will be!

Nobody told us world is going to be a smooth ride! People whom we meet are always those whom we wanted to meet! Situations will be made-to-order! No. Nobody promised us our life will be a simple prince-princess fairytale.

Real life is exactly like this pair of loose ear phones! You work through it to win!
