* TODAY SHE SMILED BUT.......

Like every other day it seemed like a normal one.She woke up and was late again.Sometimes life seemed to be moving at a faster rate than she could cope up.Thoughts clogged up in her mind...still no time to sit and think clearly.She just rushed out to meet her friends.She seemed fine laughing and enjoying the day.
As the day slowly started coming to an end she looked around and said to herself,"This is nice.I like it".A pleasant weather but something was still on her mind.She was happy yet something kept bothering her.Something even she couldn't understand so kept ignoring the feeling.She hadn't fought with anyone she said to herself nor had anything happened since morning.Surely today there were no tears in her eyes.She walked silently with the crowd still fighting for peace within herself.Now highly confused not knowing what made her feel so restless she just played some music on her phone and kept looking down at the road.Yellow light from the street lights made the wet road glisten.Finally she gave up and just kept up with her group.Soon it ws time to go home so all said their goodbyes to each other.' End of a pleasant day' they all thought.
Now alone she walked on the road on her way home in this dusky night,slowly,trying to make up her mind to forget all the unhappy thoughts.She did not even feel like crying.She knew she was done crying.The tears had all dried. She wanted to just smile and live her life now.She had taken this decision long ago.She knew god wanted her to be happy too.But still a part of her missed something..may be this is life!!! Even when we have everything...our heart still ends up craving for something or the other.
She continued walking slowly and it had started drizzling suddenly even though monsoon was weeks away.She gazed at the enormous sky above her and a drop of rain fell on her lips.She bit her lower lip and smiled.The rain like always made her feel happy yet queasy.The sweet taste of the raindrop reminded her of the bitter changes of life.But life is all about changes.She had learned to keep moving on...and maybe thats why today she smiled.......but maybe the clouds understood her..... and cried.....
