Amruta - true sense of life

..some people..places..times..will always be fresh in thoughts just becoz..they are trapped in the mind..mixed in thoughts and makes me feel at every new second of my life...till I accept the last pulse of time.... ..and somewhere in the thoughts that I spent of thinking about a person..I saw the shades of life..rather the true meaning of life..the name is....'AMRUTA'..just thinking about why this is so special. I tried to understand what makes the word 'AMRUTA' stand out so special...and as like all the famous things start, this one too have the same lines..and it is..

…...Once upon a time there was a king whom all the people in the kingdom bless with love; the king and his queen had ruled with the true power of happiness. After so many years later when they had a son, a girl was born to them. The king gifted land, clothes, money and everything that was asked for, on the occasion of the new child born in their family. As this was treated to begin a new life to them, both the king and Queen choose the name 'AMRUTA' making a proof of their love that she made their life immortal. ..Princess Amruta grew up and the time for learning the classes of knowledge had come. King and Queen know the great pain of staying of away from their little Princess but, they had chosen to send her as she must gain the knowledge in life, which will help her know the true sense of how to lead the life with her own perception. ..Years gone by..and at 15..Princess Amruta had completed the studies and reached back the kingdom. Kind had announced the orders for a festival celebration across every where...and the preparations are started well ahead for her 15th birthday....

The birthday of the Princess had reached....celebrations had begun with the first ray of sunlight falling across the clouds. Princess had opened her eyes..and her parents are sitting beside her, waiting patiently to wish their lovely angel...priests are standing far behind waiting for the King to give a chance for their blessings. Full court is gathered and people from all the corners had reached to get a glimpse of their Princess. Flowers are showered all the way to for the Princess to reach the court hall and will a great elegance, Princess Amruta had walked in. Deep inside her, she started to feel how everyone are creating a larger than life image for her. But, she obeyed everyones and accepted the wishes. Later, in the full assembled court, King had granted the people with all the things, they had wished for.

King had asked the Princess to wish for anything she want and promised to fulfill that. Princess thought for a moment and asked her father to take her to the prison and she will decide her birthday present there. Everyone present was surprised to hear this but, King knew that there is something in her mind and she will make the correct choice. King takes the Princess to the prison where the people who are convicted are spending the rest of their life inside the closed doors of darkness. Princess has asked the King that the person selected by her should be released from prison and this is her birthday gift. King agreed for this without any second thought. Princess started her observation from the first cell, spending few minutes of time at each person and observed each one very carefully. Suddenly, she stopped at one cell and noticed two twins in a cell; she had ordered to open the doors for that cell and entered inside that. She had asked the two persons to look outside the small window for 3 minutes. Both of them stood at each side of the window and started to look what's happening outside. Princess felt that it is enough for the given time and asked the first person what he had noticed there?

He replied that he had noticed nothing.
Princess felt very surprised with this answer and asked him to explain what he means by that.Then he said 'there is no new thing that I had noticed and in that sense I had seen nothing'. She had asked the same question to the second person and he replied, 'far away, I had seen the green fields of land with lazy farmers sitting at the fences, children playing around the trees, solders making the vigil at the fence, doing their duty'.... Hearing this answer, Princess ordered to release this person immediately. Everyone along with the King were surprised with this and asked how she made her decision. To this, Princess replied 'considering that both of them had looked outside through the same window and both of them had noticed the same things. But, the first person who said that he had seen nothing is actually searching for something when he had looked out. But, the second had observed all the things out there and was able to recollect few things out of them; becoz, he gave importance only to those, even though there are a lot of things he had seen. In the same way, all the things are out there in our life, but we will miss to notice them and does not give the due importance. Instead, we always try to find something which actually is not present in life. Out of this search, we loose all the memorable things in life and restrict ourselves with the thoughts. Only a person who can feel the beauty of life is treated immortal and my name 'Amruta' signifies the same. Hence, I had asked to release the second person'. Amruta answered that “life is a chance to live and the right attitude to wards will definitely make anything possible. I felt this person’s life is worth living and it goes unnoticed if he remains in jail. He should be released and this would be great meaning for my name – Amruta.

There ends this story, but what makes a life happy? Why those magical moments remain memorable in our life?

Amruta – But, what makes making life immortal a life?

Life, as we know is full of options. The courage to believe in oneself gets you everything in life. The cool breeze that runs through the ears...when standing at the beach, stealing the beauty of the moonlight..from the clouds.. The twilight from the candle, that makes the entire thoughts bright and the power is off, as the wind blows heavily through the windows due to the heavy rain.... The warm of love that a mother shares with the little child, when the child learns the first steps with tender feet and holds the mothers hand in response... Like all these...spark of rainbow...smiles seen on the flowers on early morning ...the cool shivering while eating the ice-cream, old joke shared again with the friends when those days are re-collected again and more....many many more....make us feel the true taste of life...
