Great Expectations !

-
Our mind is a funny thing.

We don't want anyone to have any expectations from us.
At the same time, we feel disappointed when our close ones don't expect anything from us.

It is a double edged sword. 

Doomed if you do, and doomed if you don't !

So is it so important to expect that others expect something from you !?

Seasons change, and with each season is a unique phenomenon, marking the change, with its colours setting the tone for the coming months.   For someone who cherishes Delhi winter (oh yes, despite the much publicized AQI in the city), fall shows that there is joy in every season. Free floating leaves in most of the trees all around, which crunch under your feet, the fading winters and the precursor to spring is the beautiful brown - green trees, the crunchy sound and the hope of fresh new leaves everywhere.   There is just so much to look forward to, always.. nature ensures that there is never a dull moment.   There is magic everywhere. We just need to take a moment to stop and witness it.... just like this freely suspended leaf I found, dancing to its own tune.    PS: T...
