All of life is a journey I have concluded at various instances. What paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is all upto us. Who we decide to meet on the way and why still eludes me.
We sometimes not only determine our destination, but also decide what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there is again none's destiny but choicefully our own.
In a while from now another chapter of my life would come to an end, giving way to yet a fresh new page to be written on. I scribble on it or i choose to 'delightfully' cursive write on it shall be my choice.
Later on if I would ever look back upon the page it'd be only me to blame if i cant 'decipher the scribble' or i'd rejoice seeing the choicefully crafted letters.
In life I realise we all have a choice. Sometimes we understand this by our intutive instincts and the other times while we tread on the hard path.. But no path is good as bad its all adding up. A famous ghazal renders a verse which read as
"acha hoga ya burra hoga.. jo bhi hoga tajurba hoga"
Either good or bad would unfold, what ever would , would do no harm but would render some more to the unforgettable and ever prevalent experience of this journey called LIFE!
Therefore
never regret,
never sweat..
never fear the loss of
that that once was dear..
never loose hope and
loosen your grip on the rope..
neither fight nor cry
but promise and tell thyself
I will not give up but Always Try!!
For then when youre old and frail
and it is all dark and gloomy
it'd be those trying moments that once we lived
that would warm our cold heart Bright and Sunny!!

Life i feel is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... "Now That was a ride of a lifetime"
I must now retire for the night with all due gratitude to the creator of this eternal soul and the ever eternal Universe!!

Though I haven't a clue as to how my story and my journey of life shall end. But that's all right. Its is just the same when you set out on a journey and night covers the road, you don't conclude that the road has vanished.
How else could we discover the stars?
with all my love and much more..
Yours Truly
