Life As I See It

I am standing in the balcony alone, solitary……utilising my mind space….ruminating over things…observing people in the ambiance…admiring nature…staring at the blue sky…enjoying the cloudy trail of an aircraft which just left…dusk is approaching, the inevitable rendezvous of the day and the night…..this is my thing, idling, killing time…I call it recreating, reviving…this is the time when I often feel intimidated by the huge enigma this world is.

Have you ever given a thought to what this world actually is?. Why are you even living?. Well, I just did. You or me are just some guy who came into this world. You are gonna live fore few years, get related with lives of some people and then eventually gonna die. You may do anything while you are in this world…..anything……good or evil….that doesn’t matter, because one day you are gonna leave everything behind. No one except your close relatives even cared when you entered this world, although you can make many people care when you leave. But that doesn’t matter either, because you would be no more to see that. Those who believe in souls, incarnation and spiritual stuff may contradict with what I am trying to convey. They may say that the more good you do now will decide how you get to live in the next life, but who the heck knows if there’s life after death?, or more basic question: What happens after you die?. The Almighty may know the answer, if he exists. 

“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players, they have their exits and their entrances”, Shakespeare said it in the “As you like it”…….very true……..the whole world is a set up, you play your part and you leave, nothing beyond this simple concept.

Human life is a mystery. Some may fancy it is an eternal holiday, which we are voyaging day by day to reach the ultimate destination. We link good and bad experience with us as we go on. Those who accomplish their destination early, get to enjoy the holiday more. Although journey might be the best part, but this remains the view of people who get to their destination late.

Anyway…. this is what I believe. I would very much like to know what you think.

It's Sunday, the "Not Monday"

It’s the perfect Sunday morning.

                                                   

Sunday, that comes after a Saturday and before a Monday. The trivial detail holds importance, Saturday being the most anticipated day of the week and Monday the most hated. You never want a Sunday to end, and of course you never want a Monday to even exist. But who the hell are you to question the inevitability of week cycle. In this context it would be no exaggerating to state the fact that Sunday’s got too much pressure on itself, cuz you know the  next day is the Monday. You gotta outlive the Sunday in order to be able to bear with the Monday. And in case you haven’t savored the Saturday, it’s all on the loyal shoulders of Sunday to give you the time of your week.

If you endeavor to look outta your window, you will find that the ambiance is almost perfect with slightest hint of Sun( nothing to do with Sunday). It’s the consummate conditions for one to just get out and ramble around Jaipur streets with his/her friends, after all it’s the friendship day.

True story, friendship day was initiated by Greeting Card companies, in order to originate new market. But eventually they suffered consumer resistance as they got insight into the commercial gimmick. Today, mobile phone companies and social networking sites relish this day the most. Let me put it this way, this has become the day on which if you don’t text, call or tag your friends in a photo you may be unfriended. So, here it is from me, to whoever reads this piece

“Happy Friendship Day” and a “Beautiful Sunday”
