The Magic of Life



                                                                          -Debadrita Mandal, CLASS IX/X
         Thinking        of    the     past      makes        me
         remember  those  days  when  we  waited

         in   excitement      for   the   Tooth    Fairy    after
         we    had    lost   a   tooth   or   two.   We   would

         wait,   counting      the   days    to   the   magical

         night    of   Christmas      even    when      we   had

         no   idea    regarding       how     Santa     fulfilled
         our   wishes.      The    Magic      that    we    once

         believed      in,   is   true.   The   answers   to   the

         mystery       and    magic      which     have     been

         alluded     to   for   centuries      are   hidden     in
         one    word     GRATITUDE.-’God             said,   "   If

         you  are  grateful,  will  give  you  more.”  It

         doesn’t       matter       which       religion      you
         follow    or   whom     you   ove    this   statement

      l
         points towards the universal belief.


         The    power     of   gratitude     was     preached       and    practiced      by   all   the   saints
         and  leaders  who  wished  well  for  humankind.  Gratitude,  magically  gives

         our    lives   joy   and     meaning.       As   we    slowly      start   feeling     grateful,     we

         understand        why     certain    events      were     necessary       in   our   lives   and    that
         there    is   always     a   reason     behind     what     happens       to   us.   It   is   said   that

         being  grateful  and  following  the  path  of  gratitude  will  help  us  wake  up

         each    morning,      excited     to   be   alive.   Every   day   will   be   magical.     The   most
         important and the first step towards gratitude is saying ‘Thank You’.

         If   we   are   grateful     for   what    we   have,     who    we    are,   we   should     join   our

         hands     and    thank    the   Almighty      for   every   good     thing   that   happens       to   us

         every    day.    Every    mistake      or   failure   is   a   blessing   in   disguise.   There     are
         problems       when     we    blame     others    for   our   failures.    We    carry    the   pain   in

         ourselves.
