Life is amazingly beautiful. Internet was like oxygen to me. Today I'm sitting in my flat typing this (with mobile internet, limited speed and data) without broadband or fiber optic internet. Since last Monday I don't have my ACT Corp internet connection working. So what's beautiful about life in this? Let me tell you.
As a 11th grader, I wanted to read more. I read a passage about a possible meteoroid hit in my english book over and over again. But somehow I got distracted and attracted (or addicted) to digital content like movies, serials and games. My reading desire almost vanished. When I see people talk about Harry Potter books, I felt so bad and envious.
First few days without internet, I started watching low resolution videos with mobile data. Then I continued my quest to get three stars in all levels in angry birds. Couldn't pass time with these. Started watching old classics in my hard disk. Still couldn't pass time. Your mind is so deceiving. It always feels good to think about past and I use to think that I need time to sit and think just about the past and be happy. But its really really killing me if I just do that. We need "new". New experiences, new places, new thoughts, something new. So to fulfill my mind's thirst for new, I started going through Java Concurrency in practice. Loved the time spent on reading it. Actually loved the time reading. I have started reading more than 10 books, but completed only two - Neon nagaram and Digital fortress. I wanted to add one more this weekend. I stopped alchemist around 90 pages, not very long back. I thought I should continue and finish it off. I took it up, sat on my chair and started reading. Enjoyed the book, felt connected as I'm facing a similar situation in my life at this time. Couldn't finish it, slept. Woke up in the morning, first thing to do after brushing - The Alchemist. Finished it off. Thank god for providing an environment to get back my desire on reading. Now I want to read more. Next in line - Never enough (judge me, but most probably you will fail).
So whatever happens in life, it has a "goodness" element attached with it. Be patient and do what your heart asks you to do, the real benefit/pleasant-surprise will uncover.
And let me tell this again to conclude, Life is amazingly beautiful.
