People

We meet people not knowing what they bring into our lives. But definitely each one of them adds something to our being. Its quite fascinating how different they are & yet we can't live with or without them. The family is always taken for granted. Maybe that is all you can do about them, you just can't take them seriously!! We tend to care a bit too much about the society or is it the other way around?

While most relationships loose luster with time, some of them reveal an essence as time passes .Even though there are definitions of what is right & wrong, sometimes we just cant get our heads around it. I could agree that my destiny is not so well scripted, like the people who have gone down in history, yet I want it to make sense.

The fear of hurt makes us put up a wall and yet it manages to make its way through all our barriers. How do we become immune to the pain of someone else's doing? A girl can never forget the first man in her life, maybe because of the heart ache it caused her. I have often tried to recollect how bad labor pain was, but my brain has wiped out the whole 9 months and every tiny bit of distress involved with it.

Love is such a beautiful emotion that every action wrapped in it stays vivid in our minds .I wonder if these are the people who are hurting the most. And if they are trying to hide those tears with a smile.

Living

As a kid, life was pretty simple. It was almost like walking on a straight line. There were no qualms apart from the intermittent exams . Moreover, it was like an enchanting story with a well written screenplay, revealed slowly. I never sat down and visualized what my future holds , I was busy living the moment . Little did it occur, this is what I'm heading for!!! And all I do now is think!!

Life as an adult is a thirst. A thirst for all things we cannot achieve and in the process disregarding everything that surrounds us. Are we all running this race ,wearing the wrong size shoes ? Most of it makes no sense, leaving us with yet another bunch of questions . That establishes the necessity of God. Or we would have gone totally nuts with every punch life throws at us. At the end of this journey, you meet a totally different person awaiting you , life has changed the beliefs, values and opinions that you started with . It is funny how we fit into those shoes so well with time, which makes me believe that we are in fact made of mud. Do our experiences make us wiser or does it make us plain delusional?

Even in a life filled with events, a void follows me closer than my shadow. I often picture myself standing still in the midst of a road amongst the raging traffic. Where are the others going? What are they doing? It makes me wonder, if I sat down and did nothing, will life be any different? Maybe life doesn't need my help, it has a mind of its own, that is already made up!!

All those who walked this path , why didn't they warn me? Or no amount of planning works in this case, and they knew it.
