You love so deeply still you pay no attention to it. Do you? It is pleasing, soothing; yet you cannot find few minutes to listen or you cannot refrain yourself from distracted by something or someone. Can you? When was the last time you listened to the music played by someone else? It is not that you don't like but it simply not in your focus at that time. Do you really need to concentrate on these little things?
May be, not! You are in the pantry and looking at the sky through the window and find something beautiful in the cloud formation. You show it to your friend and he too appreciates the beauty of it. The next day you find another one of those nature's art work and you call someone reading the newspaper and show it. You find another cute one on another day and try to show it to as many people as possible, after all, you know that everyone likes nature and what you see is one of beautiful creations of it. Now this day it looks so beautiful with sun rays piercing through the dark clouds. You go to one corner of the work place, shout and invite everyone to see it. No one will come and I am sure you would have already got the name, the cloud mad man! But then you go on watching it and one day you may discover the cloud patterns and what that can cause to the atmosphere. You will help creating a artificial cloud pattern that can produce the rain and the one that can stop the rain. You will be awarded the nobel prize and above all you will become one of the geniuses in the history.
Yes, the greatest of discoveries are made by watching the nature closely, listening to the little things so deeply, focusing all the energy to the single point. If you have a pet dog, have you noticed it eating grass? It won't eat everyday and it won't eat all types of grass. If you gather more information and device the pattern you will know the reason. May be, that's how our Sidhars able to produce so many medical notes. You know the story of Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation. Don't you?

Actually, as a normal person, you don't have to go so deep. Mere alertness to the happenings around you and the heart to catch them with no valuation of any sort is perfectly beautiful to give a bit of happiness to your soul. It could be a bird flying around or kids running and shouting, a cute smile, teammate typing at 85 wpm, smoke from the cigarette edge, cool breeze, the plant and the pot next to your cubicle... yeah so many lovely little things! I agree, it is very difficult to set the limit and pathetic if it ends like Shabdo - wonderful movie by Kaushik Ganguly.
