Temporary Chapter

Almost every one has a story to tell, where they were a temporary Chapter in someone's book, never meant to return to or re-read. 

A Temporary Chapter can be easily forgotten as that may not contain a life changing sequence of events, however with its short while presence, the momentarily learning, experience, memories it gives, that stays with us, for a really long time, not to be missed daily, but someday somewhere like a Deja Vu, like the smell of a known fragrance.

We are thankful for the constants in our life, parents, siblings, friends, companions, however we owe some gratitude to all the temporary characters too. 

Remember a bus or train journey being memorable because of a certain person! You might not have met that person again, but the journey you had together became memorable for both of you, and you became temporary chapters in each other's lives.

Remember that kind hearted security guard outside your office who used to greet a warm good morning every working day morning! S/he helped always start the day with a smile.

Life gives us countless encounters. Believers of Karma like to consider them as past connections. Some we count as significant and some insignificantly significant. Looking back, all these years couldn't have been beautiful without these temporary chapters in our lives. Some taught us how to appreciate life, some taught us to find happiness in tiny moments, some taught us to love selflessly, some taught us how it feels to be kind, to be a human being.

Therefore, when you feel you are one temporary chapter in someone's life, be happy acknowledging that fact, if someone is your temporary chapter, appreciate their presence, as these temporary chapters are the little important pieces that shape us without our knowledge throughout our life, which itself is temporary..
