The Circle of Life!

When we talk about animation , we often think of crazy,funny fictional characters doing non-sensical, hilarious things and making us laugh. However, there is something so different about the movie 'The Lion King'. It touches your heart so deep within! I have grown up listening to its songs and this particular song ,'The circle of life' has always been my all time favourite but I understand it so much better now than yesterday.

I often feel depressed....umm, 'depressed' would a wrong word ..... I often feel 'low' when I think of myself as a young girl. I was so bright and vivacious, I had unlimited dreams and immense energy and zeal to achieve it. I wondered why elders behaved the way they did and I always thought I would be different and I will do things differently('Not getting married ever' was also a part of it :D). Then what happened? Did I fail to fulfill my dreams? Did I fail to lead my life the way I thought I would? .........No, Not at all! Its so easy to dream and every kid must do so. Its a part of being a child and rightly so. What I have done so far is the best that I could have done. It feels so great to write this -'I don't want to undo anything I have done in my life'. It was part of growing up and it was requisite in all aspects. Moreover, I am astonished to see how blessed I am, to have a family like mine and opportunities I have had so far. These are the things you don't choose. Life chooses it for you and as a matured person , you need to get over the imaginary expectations that you created for yourself and make the best out of what you have got! Now that I look back (not that I am too old :) but old enough to give it a thought :)) , I feel amazed to see how far I have come!

On 6th September 2009, I came to know that I am going to be an Aunt and that my sister and my bro-in-law are going to have a baby and honestly, I was taken aback with this news. I couldn't think of my sister as a mother and I have never been good with kids :D And then on 16th May 2010, we had a new member in our family. I received a call from my Mom that 'Kashvi' has finally arrived and I was thrilled. What followed surprised me too!

My Sweetheart 'Kashvi'
(Yes, Its her first appearance on a public blog ever!)

 I used to travel from Bangalore to Chennai every friday to be with her and back to work on Monday morning in Bangalore(Trust me spending two nights in a bus every week wasn't easy). Just a wish to be with my darling gave me the energy and courage to do all of that. What she brings out of me is immensely beautiful and often surprises me. She is indeed our bundle of joy! The energy Kashvi has brought into the whole family is magical. I never knew I could be what I am today. Its so beautifully written :

It's The Circle of Life
And it moves us all

'Its definitely worth being a part of this circle' :) It makes you do things that ,may be, you wouldn't choose to do but its worth experiencing.

Leaving you all with these lovely lines.... Take care and have a great life!

From the day we arrive on the planet

And, blinking, step into the sun

There's more to see than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high

Through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life

And it moves us all

Through despair and hope

Through faith and love

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the Circle

The Circle of Life

It's The Circle of Life

And it moves us all
