The feelings of being accepted, appreciated, and understood, what more do someone need to share his little happiest moments in life? Around a year ago, I couldn't write properly in English and hive enables me not to write but to express and even know my self better. It enables me to live and enjoy basic things in life. Yes, that's true that hive can't make me Spiderman or any sci-fi powers but having thoughts of being accepted globally is not less than any superpowers because it gives me confidence and takes me on journeys within my mind, I never thought would be possible!
Trying a cocktail for the first time, at the age of 21 really? Yes, with Bollywood and Hollywood influence on my self(basically all cultures and traditions) when ever I read or see people having cocktail, all I can think of is "Alcohol". I know, I know, no body told me in contains alcohol or it's mandatory to add alcohol in it. These were just my thoughts attached with cocktail word and avoidance of alcoholic beverages is due to religious influence on my personality.
A person having no idea what cocktail is suddenly enjoying it? How that happened? Well...... Actually I got introduced to the world of fruits and it's benefits by a friend of mine in a way that I started appreciating it. Yes, I was more interested in fast foods then fruits because my dad always bring alot of fruits that excess of it don't made it special for me. Because my dad don't appreciate me eating fast food(I had to sneak and lurk to eat) and me being a bit skinny wanted to get some fat 😝 when introduced to a world (I am in a different city where no one controls my decisions at the moment) then the guy who wanna eat zingers for the rest of his life was enjoying fruit shakes everyday from different local shops and brands. Never thought that will happened anytime soon!
Today I was in the shop alone(usually I go to most of the places with someone atleast) having no one around not even waiter, A guy with no knowledge about which fruits are in season and which are out of seasonal list, kept watching the menu countless times, thinking to my self what to order as I don't wanna feel embarrassed by asking for a fruit that is out of seasonal list. I finally saw the word cocktail and it just clears all my doubts about the word(Oh so it's some kind of like a fruit juice or shake, I thought to my self).
A moment later, I had the cocktail in my hand. In my mind, I was on a cruise ship enjoying some kind of Hollywood party(the cocktail in my hand gave me chills which not even the world's expensive whiskey can help me experience). Me in my dream world, taking sips of cocktail suddenly opens it's cap to see what's in that makes it soo special. I discovered that cocktail is not something to drink only, there was many fruits and dry fruits to eat(Oh so that's why they gave me the spoon with it).
Till then I was only thinking about cocktail, I took my first spoon and wow I was eating dry fruits (I never eaten before because I thought they were ehhhh in taste to me), the pistachio, fig (anjeer in urdu) and much more..... This one bite opens a world of wisdom for me. Just like in this world we don't like some people but still indirectly they are making our world beautiful. Imagine of this in a way, your great grand father hate a guy who planted the tree you are enjoying the shade of now. In the same way the dry fruits where indirectly making my cocktail much more interesting and unique. The carrot juice on one hand is not that tasty but it mixed with banana, apple and others gave it charm of it's on. Just like not everyone likes fruits or cocktail (tea vs coffee), it's not necessary that everyone will like you just be happy with the people who appreciate you and also try to learn from everyone in one way or another. Thank you for reading this, if you reached to this part a virtual hug from my side for you. 🤗
Key Points To Remember:
Don't fear to try new things.
Be appreciative for what you have.
Excess of everything is bad.
Every human make this world beautiful collectively.
It's impossible to be liked by everyone.
Not all writings have to be perfect just share it!
