A path called Life

On the wondrous and exhilarating path

That is life

wayfarers we meet

Travellers to the same destinations

Paths taken different and unique

encounters for a moment or more...

... some last a lifetime

Amusing and unexplainable,

How people change with the path

How the path changes with steps we take

In scientific terms, directly proportional they are

The formula is unknown though!

'Change is the only constant'

A favorite statement of many, mine too

What to say on the will and the reason to

Move on, Varies...

Hurdles and burdens, there is no dearth

Hope and Determinations

Pushes some

The Lure of the destination, pushes other ahead

Others move on regardless, vagabonds and gypsies

What is important is to move on and not give up

For that is the essence of life!!!

These paths lead to the unknown,

undeciphered, abstract reality...

Mystery shrouds it from our vision

Lost in the temptation of worldliness and consumption

Speculations rife, predictions and promises blur

the Reality of The Ultimate Destination

World is evil!!!

Another of my passionate rantings against the world at large... 

conspiring, conniving, back stabbing, gossiping bunch of people who think they are smarter than others... Trustworthiness is a matter of the past i guess... Old fashioned and boring... There is nothing called righteousness... I mean today I am flabbergasted and so disturbed... I guess i still believed in the old school concepts of honour, truth, integrity and character!!!

Is nothing sacred nowdays? Is everything impure and 'flexible'?? Where is the sanctity of relationships gone? 

Life has been made into such a bitch that the capacity to appreciate and introspect has been lost. Everyone lives in the moment...the consequences, the ramifications are all questions of probability, permutations and combinations..What is life without risks and thrills someone asks??? I really do not have an answer to that question... but what about the finer things in life...the more beautiful and lasting things..sustainability is not looked upon...

Is the end really near... may be it is... The end of the world..life as we know it... the  direction of the wind is changing..the force of the it is increasing...Soon the human race may be sucked into self consuming whirlpool of destruction...the end may not be caused by an atomic explosion, a asteroid strike or an alien attack... The negativity within the human psyche would get a life of its on, grow into such a force that no other power in this world can counter it...That would ulitmately bring about the destruction of the human race as we know it...

I guess this outburst of spontaneous and whimsical statements or feelings... I guess i am feeling better now...Need to pack my bags and sleep now...

Good night...

Expectations give way to sorrow

Consider the following situation: You badly want to spend some quality time with your close friend.You rarely get time together...she is studying..you are working..and then one week there is time in hand for both of you. And what happens she is more interested to do something else than spend time with you..even after you request her not to go...Yeah that's what happened to me.. and that why I am here cribbing about the same!!!

So the point is desire is that cause of all sorrow... when there is no desire, no expectation, no attachments..sorrow is destroyed..And believe me its very difficult not to have expectations..we tend to have some expectations from everyone..our parents, siblings, teachers, our job, our boss...etc etc

When these are not met and rejected or abandoned..there arises disappointment, resentment, anger, sorrow..negativity stems from this... and is reflected in our actions, work etc. I guess to achieve some level of detachment, takes some experience, maturity and immense acceptance of the people, situations. I don't think currently my frame of mind is like that..

I desire the attention, the care of my loved ones...I don't deny that, and I am not ashamed of it either..I am ready to give what I expect...so then there is nothing wrong right??

Hmmm don't know.., did not have anybody to share my feelings today...so thought will make kind of a journal entry!!

Freedom..

Can we just live life one day at a time

No worries, no fuss, no pretensions..

Is that possible...

I wonder why we look for attachments, 

Bondings which pull us down

And render us incapable of

Objectivity?

Is there someway to break free...

Difficult, may be impossible 

To truly be free

Is it practical in the 

age we live?

The pain, the sorrow

The pangs of separation,

The illusion of joy,

Everything can be avoided

If it was only possible to

Attain liberty...

Is it worth trying???

Bright sunny meadows...

fragrance of fresh hay and flowers

Amalgamate and bring forth haunting memories

Of the childhood past...adolescence lost

The Age of innocence and freedom

simplicity and fun....

The splendour of the sunset 

reminds of the playful abandon and careless joy

Nothing to regret, nothing to contemplate

Living in the moment

Of pure ecstasy, grief or anger

And move on as well

The brilliance of the past is long gone....

The future is doubtful...

The present looks bleak...dark and deep...

Lets for one moment

Be happy as we are now

At this moment...

Forget the world and Just BE...

Random incomplete thoughts...

...

Walking through hazardous and tricky paths of life, 

Knowing not,which turn to take when, 

The weather dictates the pace

The wind, the direction

Sailing along, lost...

...The monster lurks within and without

Its presence can be felt

It enchants to death

Through the mysterious depths of the ocean within

It spreads it tentacles of menace...

...Eyes invite, lips quiver

the more she shies, the more he wants her

To hold her, comfort her and take her forever

Innocent and lovely dame, she

Steals his heart and makes him

 lose reason and logic...

...The frail man,

Crying out loud and frantic

hopeless, deperate and frustrated

Horrendous and hideous, the hooded man with the whip

the wicked but enamourous eyes smirk at the sight, 

partly hidden by the veil...

...Life just gave me a shake today

Wake up and realise, it said

Time is not just ticking, its running

Slowing down, stopping 

All signs of reluctance,

Abandon and move forward

Lest you are left behin...

Crossroads...

I stand here wondering which

Path to take

The paths which are yet to be made…

The paths already traced out in front

Where will they take me

What dangers and hurdles lie in front

I know not

Only the courage and spirit of life

Takes me ahead

But still I am in a dilemma

Knowing that it doesn’t matter, whatever

Has to happen will

But still the mind wonders and wonders on

The confusion clouds the mind

And renders logic and reason helpless

As I stand wondering here which path to take in life
