For some odd reason, my 3-year-old is fond of pink milk with bubbles.
Today, as I was whisking and whipping milk to make bubbles for her, I wondered what were these bubbles made of, milk only. Isn't it? So, the bubbles are the same as the milk. Then, what's the fun with these bubbles over it?
But on the contrary, I was taken aback by the sparkle in the eyes of my daughter when she saw the pink strawberry milk with bubbles. She could not stop herself from talking about the bubbles. "Mamma, see the bubbles on the side are white in color and the others are pink in color." Now, she has held the cup in her hand and with all smiles again she pointed out. "Mamma, see this is such a big bubble. Oh, see these bubbles broke." "Mamma, I want to drink bubbles from the other end."
Well, now I could also see - there were some small bubbles, some big bubbles. Some united to form an even bigger bubble. Some broke to make smaller ones. Some lived 10 seconds and some lived 30 seconds. Is there anybody here who also thinks what trivial thing we are talking about. After all its a kids game.
But hold on, what if somebody sitting out there is also thinking like this. Mother earth shrugged a bit and plants, animals and humans appeared. Are they any different to the mother earth? Some live 50 years, others 100 years. Some are short and some are tall. Some are white and some are dark. But most are stuck in their own storm of emotions. Could all creatures on Earth be just like bubbles in the milk? Could it be just a kid's game for someone!
How about the whole universe. It just oscillated and planet Earth was born along with many other heavenly bodies, which are nothing but tiny bubbles in the magnanimous universe.
By the time my daughter finished the cup of milk, a realization dawned that all this while I was stressed about trivial things. After all, it is just a kid's game and can get over anytime like this cup of milk.
