T G I F

Tomorrow I'll wake up with a question in mind
Gosh! what am I doing with this life of mine
It only seems yesterday when i entered 2008
Filled with dreams of realizing the dreams innate
-------------


Today at the crossroads, which way to choose ?
Go on with the flow or let my heart break loose
Inertia then unseen is now knocking at my door
Further i might not believe my heart anymore
------------


The ones who imagine it as next to impossible
Grumble that my simple thoughts are fallible
It won't matter to them we'll know with time
Figure out and follow your way through 2009!

al fresco

It didn’t take much time for me to decide that I wasn’t particularly a cutout for this technophile world.

No, not because I was performing badly anywhere or I was not able to cope up with my studies or work load at any point of time till date.

As I was discussing this with one of my friends, she had remarked “Just because you are doing well somewhere, doesn’t mean that you like it, or that you have a flair for it. You are basically a conscientious person, and your natural propensity towards hard work is bound to pay you back any day. Why don’t we put aside hard work for a moment and bring forth your so-believed proclivity for…….”

Not every person is fortunate to know what he really likes or wants to do in life. As we grow up, we are conditioned by the tastes, aspirations and behavior of those around us. So if at the end of it, you still retain that appetite and that kaleidoscopic sight, I would like to believe you are blessed!

All this…… Not, without a flipside.
At any level, family matters the most. Aligning and adjusting your aspirations with theirs coupled with gearing up for the responsibilities you inherit as you grow up, do take a lot of time. Sometimes, spanning your entire life!

But not everyone can discern what it is like, to be doing something, when your core is urging you to work towards your dream. Every single day spent is like a big loss. And this realization is like a leak in the heart, slowly seeping out your zeal and asking ‘Why forgo what you owe to yourself?

Flipping the coin again, why not try taking a few steps guided by your heart when you still have the time. As an age old aphorism, copyrighted by management gurus says ‘Work around blocks instead of bumping into them.

Some simple yet concrete steps ......... before you succumb to needless quibbles…… before you convince yourself of your make-believe limitations…….. before you let go of inner self and join other mortals to vegetate.

As a garnishing thought:
“Sometimes it is necessary to take a big leap; you cannot cross a chasm in two small jumps.”

Waiting for spring ...

The mind was nothing more than a slate rubbed with ash;
dim, dreary and dry.

Senses were like cold cold wind knocking at your doorsteps,
withering the last wisps of wish.

Reasons were like forgotten jigsaw pieces, stacked away
and hope had heaved its last sigh

Bare like a tree which has lost all its possession to the autumn
wondering what used to be me!

An existence had turned into a perilous paradox
Once upon a time!
