The onset of the month of May has set me on a deep reverie. Personally, May has always been a month in which I have had new experiences and have made new discoveries.
Since childhood, I had always associated May as the month to rejoice and relax. May was the month when the summer vacations were on and many a family trips were planned, if not, then to scamper around our locality, New Fatehpura, Udaipur, with the "Band of Boys" and some girls as well, planning excursions and adventure trips or lazing around the lakes, were delights that make me yearn for them even today.. Ah those amazing wonder years!
May is also the month when we have birthdays and wedding anniversaries in plenty in my family, making it a month filled with parties and goodies. This actually acted as the icing on the cake as parties, frolics and holidays acted as a deadly combination and made us look forward to this month, from June onwards itself.
May- the month to rejoice and relax, is also the month when my grandma expired. Life is a great leveller, you cannot have everything of your choice, every time. You win some, you loose some and this discovery was made by me in the month of May. With this loss, the fun value of the month eroded in my mind forever.
What all Blue Caramelers need to understand is that everyone's life has its fair share of ups and downs and thus when you are in a good phase of life, make it count the most and enjoy it to the fullest and make provisions (if possible) for the proverbial "rainy day" because all days are not alike and during the bad phase, the experiences and discoveries of the good phase go a long way in reminding you that "it is the darkest just before the sunrise".
