Life worth living for..

"Are you studying, mommy?". The little girl asked, looking curiously at the book in her mother's hand. It did not look like "Malgudi Days", but at least it was not as big as the last one she was reading.
"No, why do you ask?", replied back her mom, sounding surprised at her daughter's question.
"You always study. You cannot have any more tests.", snapped back the child.
"No, I will not", promised her mom.

We tend to forget about others in our pursuit for excellence, knowledge and improving self. Oh, I need to get this certification, I need to do it by this day, I need to .... I forgot that it was summer, I broke the promises, of going for a walk, riding the bike, many many times..

I was busy studying. But little did I notice that my little girl was paying attention. The stress on my face, the frown, and was I getting mad at anyone and everyone? I don't know. But now, no more. I need to get a life, live my life, with my loved ones. So I close the book, give her a hug and get on with the blessings in my life. I hope you do too!!
