Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey and her show has always intrigued and inspired me. Through her show you come to terms with lot more reality of life. After watching this show I always feel humbled and grateful for what all I have and most importantly for my family. As horribly clinched as it may sound but we waste too much time looking at glass as half-empty rather than half-filled.

I saw an episode in which a beautiful girl's face and body got melted away in a car accident. She survived the accident and is now with no face. Very often, almost daily, not only me but most of us stand in front of mirror and wish we were a bit more fair, had longer hair, had sleeker nose, had hour glass figure etc etc..We just forget to appreciate what we have and concentrate on "have not's". Its OK to be imperfect here and there coz god has bestowed on us so many other things. What needs to be changed and is not right is "Outlook" for sure.

And then sometimes on her show you will see very rich and famous people telling their stories about their struggle with alchol/drugs and all inner demons. I wonder  Does it gets so lonely up there that you have nobody to accompany you except for these destructive things?? Its warm and cozy here...down here coz I have my family n friends with me..most importantly I have me,myself  and ability of judgment of right and wrong. Its just tells me to enjoy where I am right now in life..after all its not that great up there..

And then sometimes I feel so inspired, like the cover story of Ralph Polo Lauren. It tells you to believe in yourself and your dreams and cultivate a commitment towards your work and world is yours.

Very less shows can boast of such a feat wherein it not only changes people perceptions and attitude but touches their lives and change lives. Its not a show..its much more then that. No doubt Oprah Winfrey deserves all the adulation and respect she gets!!!!!!! Respect!!
