What are Black Pearls? Why this blog? How it related to you? Why should you be reading this at all? Read on for the answers...
We are born with a mind as blank as a paper. The family, society, incidents, experiences write a character on that white paper and We, as human beings, come into this Shakespearian stage: The World.
We all perceive the world and people around us differently and gather our own opinions about everything. While we wander around this world, we are subject to millions of situations, no two being absolutely alike. We react to the situations and try our best to resolve them in our favor. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we don't.
But each of these situations leave behind a permanent mark in our character and permanently alter our thought process, each time leaving us more capable and wiser than we were till we faced a particular situation. We derive our opinions on the basis of situations faced and collect what we call as our wisdom, experience and knowledge. We feel proud of this wisdom, Experience and knowledge and feel intoxicated with its presence in our character.
I call them Black Pearls.
Why call them Pearls?
That is because they are as valuable. You have to wait for a long time till you find one worth cherishing and that too only if you are lucky enough. Otherwise you may just miss them.

And why are they Black?
Because they are not visible in the broad daylight we all tend to enjoy most of the time. We all keep our head up to the Sun to the broad rosy daylight. But these Pearls are lying down below in the dark, beneath the feet, where no sun reaches; you have to keep looking for them all the time. That calls for keeping your head away from the sun. You have to look towards the ground; forgetting the sunlight. And then if Black Pearls desire, they will present themselves to you.

The Black Pearls you gather will direct you in the times of your need. They bring you smile whenever you desire and turn the most sober incidents into memories of a lifetime.
Here, I wish to share some of My Black Pearls that I have gathered over time, the ones that I cherish the most. The ones that I wish I should have recognized as Black Pearls earlier. They come across everyone but no one recognizes them and just keep on moving on, looking for, God knows what.
