A round-the-corner view of a slice of life, mine, urs and theirs...!...

I
really have no idea how to start writing this blog! I nearly ate off my
head thinking of a perfect intoduction for this small piece of
literature, but sadly i couldnt come up with a novel idea. Its so
random a thought, so bizzare yet something to be noticed, to be given a
thought to. An abstract piece of my mind, that to start framing this
random realisation into words of expression may not be my cup of tea,
but its worth giving a try.
switch
off the lights... let everything be calm. let the silence speak for
you. wake your subconcious... and dwell into the sands of time. See
where it takes you.!! break all thoughts... all your restrains from
this material world. let your mind do all the hard work. A moment will
come when you actually have left this mundane world and would be
floating around in your mindscape... where is it taking you? to your
dreams? to your chidhood? to one of the happiest moments of your life?
Its innevitable. Imagine the flashback from your childhood days till
today as time, time moving fast, very very fast, at the blink of an
eye. Imagine a movie.... u were born, your mother's first kiss, your
dad's protective hands around you, shielding you like u have been the
precious gem in the world. your first day at school, your first friend
at school with whom you thought would never part. your first crush,
your school leaving day, how you cried that day, remember? how you
would never see those famiiliar faces out in the sun again, how you
would never bunk school again...how you would never see that girl with
you have been in love with... how you wished that you would be little
again, going round the corner holding your mother's hand, how you
wished those golden days would come and embrace you once more. Suddenly
you see the world around you changing. U have started to grow! you have
started seeing the ugly faces of people around you. you have been
thrust into a rat race, all of a sudden as the sun sets in the western
horizon.
Now the
same you has been changed, the situation has forced you not to be YOU
anymore. not to take things as it comes, the manipulation of life, the
manipulation of your thoughts, the hypocrisy in your beliefs, the
double mind of the child in you has evolved with time...it has grown.
It has taught you how to hide your emotions, your own thoughts, to hide
the real you in this battle for survival. Sometimes i wonder how big
hypocrites we all are. we may not betray somebody, but every moment,
every action betrays the child within us, we betray what we had been. a
reflection of a demon, are what we see in ourselves! This is a stage
when we basically have our dream...everything in it..all its material
aspects. we should be happy... but then why do we turn back, why do we
look back to those sunshine days...why do we want to wear that
childhood mask once again ? to don the inocense that is long lost?
i guess life is a one word example of an oxymoron, infact the strongest
example, that is hardly noticed. mask after mask after mask! a new mask
every day. a new dress every morning, a new deal every hour,a new face,
a new role infront of the masses. A moment's thought and a new emotion
you are acting out.. every day, every place, every face every heart
have actors in it...how life is? how it indeed is our greatest teacher.
people say cats have nine lives..? dont we too have a similar trait?
A life among your childhood, brooding over over some simple dreams, which you lived.
A life among your family, which has been one of the pillars of your success.
A life among the road less travelled, your darkest secrets, of which only you have the keys.
A life among your closest friends, and the old wine you shared with them.
A life among the lonely nights, when sleep wont come to your tired eyes.
A life among some of the stunning success of your life, and reminiscing of how you achieved the feat.
A life among the unfulfillled dreams which you know you can never achieve.
A life among the rat race in which you have been thrust into, someday in your past.
A life among your nostalgia and an occasional smile, a childhood sweetheart....
How
varied life can be? How much are we still to learn from it? How far we
have travelled in this movie called "me" how different can life's
pleasures be? how beautiful and how feary? how enchanting and how
frustating? All the happiness that life has to offer does come with a
cost... U can really never expect everything from life.. This is the
rule of the world. The undisputed rule. life gives as well as it takes.
The hits and misses. Life teaches you from the scratches. You talk and
talk gibberish with a lump in your thoat. you learn to fight back your
tears, life teaches you the great art of pretension. you pretend what
you are not. sometimes for your own happiness and sometmes for the
happiness you can offer to others. Make a straight face and come up.
and you start the drama-in-real-life. i am not talking about anything
in particular. The world's a stage. your office, your family life, your
social circle. We are the monkeys of doom. We pretend, we make faces,
we murder our emotions, we do everything to achieve that abstract.
however hard you try, but in the end... you have to fall to the hands
of your second childhood. Yes , a time will come when you can once
again be married to your simple dreams, your sunshine days....You will
go past all your nine lives... and fall ...fall ....and fall ... where
you wont have any repents, any pretention. This is how life teaches,
the art of sacrifice. Its a full circle. Perhaps thats why we call it
the "circle of life".....

And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
It's The Circle of Life
And it moves us all"
