Changing The Nest

Here is the story of a little bird, that has been living with its family on a nest in a big banyan tree. The bird had built the nest five years ago, from the day it moved into the nest, it has been artistically decorating its nest and more specifically its private space in the nest. Every twig and every leaf in the nest was carefully selected, and placed with utmost care. Within a month, it had got accustomed and attached to the place so well that it could identify everything with eyes tied. Also the neighbours were very friendly calm and nice people, who were very friendly and affectionate to it. It has been living peacefully there until yesterday, but now it has to shift its location due to the owner of the branch. Owing to personal and unreasonable request of the owner, the poor bird has to shift its nest now. But Great Heavens, the bird has its own branch in another apple tree, which chanced to become free last week. But be it an apple tree or a lemon tree, its own tree or a rented tree, shifting from the big banyan tree that has been your home for the past five years is very difficult for the bird to put up with. But on the other hand, moving to a new place is also very exciting. It can have all the fun it had when it starts to decorate the new nest. It might prove a much comfortable location. Speculating on all the bird slowly prepares itself for moving on to the new and its own place. A place where it has to answer no questions, a place which is independent, a place which is more accessible to food and water, a place which is a little bigger. But it will definitely miss its old neighbours, the little chirps, the surrounding trees, the nice lights, the temple which is right next to the nest, and the list goes on....it can never know whats in stock for it.

Now am in the same situation, i've to relocate my home. Now this old place has become just a house to me, its no more my home sweet home but a mere building, a concrete structure among 53 similar ones in the apartment. Changes always occur and this is one of the few times in which a physical change attributes to a lot of changes in the mind too. This is a classic example of how your physical conditions can attribute a change in your mindset , something which influences the way you think, something which influences what you like to do, something which can get very difficult and bugging without you realising the reason.

Change is indeed the only thing that doesn't change. It only matters how you deal it and how shrewd you are (Tch...Tch if you aren't shrewd your are screwed my dear). Just think how very interesting[:P] and how peaceful and how nice [nicest try :P] life will be if you can use every change to your advantage, getting bigger [yea.. yea.. size does matter in many ways;)] and better in your life. Just see how mind blowing it will be if you can do that? If thats hard, just think what will be the outcome if you can use half of them? Or Even just see how it can be if you can use one , just one little change to your advantage? [alright, alright if you cant think just skip the questions and move on :P ]

So next time any change occurs, don't feel bad or don't get irritated, get on with it and use your tiny grey cells to adapt to it. Who knows things can get much better than what they seem like. What you think you like might be different from what you actually like[ even otherwise you have to know it for sure don't you? :D ]
