The Point


At one point in their lives every individual just pauses......... from their ever-changing, constantly updating (technology, relationships, thought process etc) semi-mechanical lives...... just a fleeting moment that quite literally presses the pause button in the film that is your life....... its over here you realize so many things at this one minuscule point that comes rushing at the speed enough to give you the biggest head rush of your life! For some this is a point to realise the direction of your life - whether you’re going the right way or not? Some think whether it’s time to kick off their singleton boots and settle into the blissful "chappals of matrimony"...... for others it is a point of questioning the true meaning of life......... But for me its thinking about how time flies?.... many join me in this as it’s a very popular pause moment bound to be gone through by almost every human being......... 2nd year college almost coming to an end...... it makes you think...... i can’t help but look back and feel that school days don't seem that long ago…… in a year I’d be leaving to pursue a different path…….so far it doesn't seem like I’d want to give this one up by then……… My...How time flies…….at 19 I can’t believe my teenage days have reached its fag end……….now come the 20’s which is also fun but coupled with more responsibilities….. and worse its closer to your 30’s!.............ya im over-reacting but tell me if you wouldn't at this point……….

Opportunity


When an opportunity beckons you - "grab it by the collar", "strike it when its hot" etc etc.....
You know when there is this remote passing chance of something that you 'may or may not' be interested comes along....... Its right there.... dangling in front of you..... your thinking "should I do it or not?" .....DO or DON'T...DO or DON'T...... you decide (because it is after all YOUR life) that your going to pass...... the moment the opportunity slightly whizzes past you........ Hordes and Hordes of concerned/encouraging/loving people jump right onto your scrawny throat to say you may as well have made the "Biggest Blunder" in your life!......... Such selfless love and devotion...... and its not that they didn't want to give us "the single most vital career/love/etc advice of your life" when the opportunity was actually in front of you....... well..... don't judge them!!.... they just wanted to give you 'space' (sometimes literally!)....... you know so that you can make your own decision (which you may have gone over with them thrice- but still you know its YOUR DECISION)...... But once your done with it a.k.a screwed it up.... then its time for everyone to follow a universal cue of nature into an oh-so 'constructive' (reminiscent of a bloodthirsty hunter saying he is poaching endangered species for the potential cure of AIDS which in all probability he doesn't know is an abbreviation!)..........
Hmm.... Did I come off a little strong?/

The French call it....Romance


Oscar Wilde said that "Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.".....

This is not to 'declare' the fact that the man was a true 'genius' in every sense of the word or talk of his capacity to conjure sheer magic with words.......... How often has one felt that they have come across something so marvelous that you cannot express it in words...... There are people who stream into tears the moment they hear something remotely romantic (as you may have guessed- I am not a hopeless romantic in the sense it is popularly noted)...... The true essence of romance I believe is lost in time....... It exists like a rare antique that is protected in its paucity, to be savoured by only its true connoisseurs........ But one wonders wether everyone does go through this fleeting yet ubiquitous feeling.......... If you ask my opinion.... its almost impossible not to go through it at one point or another as romance exists everywhere.... from a scintillating wine glass to the sprawling sea...... Its impossible not to feel it once just as it is not possible to live and not breathe........

"....Give me a Sign....."


One wonders wether there are after all any signals or signs that nature or the environment gives us.............. something to tell us to be on your guard...... something to tell us not to do everything exactly the way we usually do - just for the day!..........I don't know, personally I'd say when I look outside I just look to appreciate nature and its finer details, I've never actually went looking for a sign...... but then again looking for signs is like an out-of-this-world security blanket that prolongs the process of coming to terms with something...... but often I find people who embody the "disbelievers code" secretly do exactly what they publicy voice against..... be it some religious ritual, an anonymous visit to a psychic (closer to home - pandit), or some sign watching..... I guess there is something in our heart for the unexplainable.... the mystery or the sheer lust I cannot say for sure..... these elements make for - I'd like to put it as - Natures Eternal Victory over Mankind..............
