Move On......

  "Be careful what you wish for...cause you just might get it all.............and then some you don't want!!"

Almost all of us sometimes think about the good times we have spent in the past…..those best days of our lives which we wanna live again and again, and will still never get enough of it. Surely we want to get back in time and live those moments again....If you don’t find anything interesting in your past to remember it by,…..start creating them right now. Life is full of good bad times, create some and experience the exhilaration of this roller coaster ride called life.

Anyway, we all have some good old memories we cherish. It could be of the high school, where all the things happen for the first time.…Bunking class just to chat, movies with friends and most importantly, first crush. Or it could be of the college, where all these same things happened again, but in full extreme. Bunking every alternate class, going to movies according to TOI rating and crushes one after another….. For me School was all about “How to”. All my energy was focused on how to get good marks in exams, how to make my parents proud, how to create trouble for my teachers and what excuse i should make to escape from admonishment of  papa with the help of mummy… After getting into the college, I made a conscious effort to stop indulging into any kind of cerebral exercise and now it all becomes about "How not to". All of my energy was focusing on…..how not to flunk the exams, how not to get caught when I lie to my parents and.....how to save time to play Counter Strike!!

I do not have any doubt that my best time was college. While in college, I wished to get over with it soon and start with my professional life. In starting Professional life was like i am in Heaven as i was at Coimbatore for ILP. I don't remember any day when i remembered my college days. It was memorable time of my life with persons from different places, different culture at a different place and then i come to know this is best time of my life, better than college life.  Now when I too have joined the rat race and became a Naukri-wala…. I think about the time I have spent in college and ILP. I miss knocking myself out in the middle of the week not worrying about tomorrow, chatting till three at night and staying half asleep in the class... and many things like that which are now long gone.........Office seems to be full of pot-bellied bald guys, wearing black leather formal shoes with formal dresses, having espresso every hour just to keep their eyes wide open and saving themselves from falling asleep on their systems, which if would break. If you want to see how the world would look like if apocalypse would ever happen and everybody turns into a zombie…my office gives you the best picture….and for that matter any office…..One more thing which terribly sucks is to tell people that I am no longer a student. People expect a lot of money from you which you do not really have as they know that you are working in a big corporate, they expect a big bribe.

All of that was in the past and has left some really great memories. Could be school, college, ILP or happy moments with someone special or any other times, but we all have some pleasant memories of our past. It’s sometime good to take little time out of our busy lives and think about it. This will definitely bring a smile on your face.  But, life is all about moving on and creating lot more beautiful memories like these which we would cherish in future.

Move On...!!
Be Happy always and enjoy each moment because KAL HO NA HO.....!! :)

Undefined Relationship.....

There are relationships that you don’t know exists yet they provide you shade in the scorching heat of noon of life. They are not necessarily tagged as a friend, brother, blood relation or any thing for that matter. You have a perception; and that carries the relationship, no matter how many fences you cultivate to keep it in a fixed dimension. It does not know any limits, it just keeps rolling and growing till it is so prominent that you feel a little scared about imagining life without it because you are grown so use to living with it.

 It is just the same feeling when a tree allows a creeper plant to grow near its roots. It grows along with the tree like a true friend sharing the sunshine, the air and water and be there with it in times of joy sorrow and indifference. It makes the tree feel that it is not standing tall alone in the wind. The creeper is always there to protect it and cover it up and so the tree does not feel vulnerable.

 And gradually the tree thinks creeper is creeping and overgrowing it. He doesn’t even get to know that it has become such an integral part of  his life that he would be a lame duck without it.

 And then tree thinks he is suffocated and all his share of sunshine and the nourishment is just absorbed by the creeper. The tree is just so helpless and thinks that he is going to die.

The leaves go pale, the branches are limp and not holding firm. He starts to hate the creeper.

Then tree thinks that the deciding point has come when either he has to just give up and wait for its organs to decay or he can fight. And he fights. forgetting the fact that he is fighting the same soul that he chose as a friend and the one who has done so many things for him.

With time the creeper is gone, it cant live forever.

And then tree covered with the decaying creeper branches realises it. Leaves left soggy and rotten. It reminds the tree of days when they use to be green together. The pink petals of creeper flowers mixing with the yellow flowers of tree use to look like a rainbow.

With the heat the creeper dead remains just dries from the bark of the tree just like the skin peeled off from the black cobra's body every season. Then he feels how secluded he is and craves for the time to travel back.

And the tree stands alone with the memories of the creeper fighting the scorching heat. It now regrets the time when he thought the creeper was snatching his share of nourishment. How foolish he was. That was because creeper wanted to cover him so nice and dense that nothing can harm the tree.Why did he argue with the creeper? 

Alas! the creeper is gone and the tree just lost in the guilt.

Waiting for the one chance to say sorry to his creeper friend.

The nice people whom you meet and they really care are those creepers which never let you know that how much they love you that they want you to stay safe and nice at the expense of themselves. And you are just like that selfish tree who later laments that why didn’t he appreciate them in the right moment of time. If you are one amongst them then come join me. Even I am one of those stupid creature who never paid any attention to my creepers.
