The Journey

From a long and sinuous path I turned back looking at the distance I had covered, I couldn't make out from where I had started, may be somewhere behind those hills;but I have even more distance to cover than what I had....By the way, where was I heading???Searching an Oasis,was I?
Well,I always believed that the journey is more valuable than the destination, but now I am confused; I have a lot of options, as many roads diverge from here, which one do I take?Do they all lead to the same place?
And where is my companion?Will it always be this lonely?
'It ain't a cakewalk';many warned me before I started, but I did not heed...Excitement and confidence propelled me ahead.An unexplained momentum keeps me going...It is not a journey for a few days,its a journey for a lifetime....
Those waves, that sand ,the wind that blows,
Those whispers, that voice and friendly hellos,
All gone,far away and today you know,
How it feels, when you miss things as you go,
All that's left is what you make of it,
Decisions that you must take on it,
Dreams that make you live in it,
Think it, Feel it and Make it work,
Try it , Test it and Give it all your worth....

    

Conveniently compromised

Every year we set a few goals, few of them practically achievable, few a bit difficult...But beyond our efforts (or the lack of it) we end up achieving none or hardly some...But we don't stop dreaming nor do we start working!
At this juncture, a realization has dawned upon me slowly but steadily that when we dream, we don't actually aim for it; somewhere behind, deep in our mind we are aware that it is a dream not a desire! So how do we start desiring?
We always knew how to desire for something, right from our childhood days; either while vying for the chocolates in the fridge ;) or while aiming for the coveted class monitor position :P....
Materialistic desires are powered by our conscious mind, they are substantial and can be imagined of.  Dreams may be set high, but our mind doesn't create the required craving for achieving it...
So stop dreaming, start visualizing and keep working!

On a last note I would like to present a poem I wrote;
Dream big, big is good;
But think even bigger,bigger is better;
Dreams live in your head,
But desire lives in the path you tread,
Caution is not a thing to follow,Passion would do the job :):)

Ignorance is bliss

Daily morning when sunlight peeks through the window I wonder why is nature beautiful in spite of being so complicated. Why does nature inspire in spite of being so difficult to interpret?

Unanswered questions give us a reason to live. If all the answers were known, what fun could we possibly have as we unveil every step of our lives?

Every second of knowledge shows us an eternity of ignorance...Ignorance is bliss!

There is a cycle of life-love-knowledge intertwined with a desire of escapism.

I always leave things after a point, i don’t poke in much, digging deep reveals more dust than treasure. But there is a time when intuitions tell you to go on, that is when you strike gold.

Inquire about, invest in and be intrigued by something which attracts you; not everything that might benefit you!
