Roadtrip

Life is a road trip

There are smooth stretches for a 200km/hr speed

And bumps to give mini fractures to everyone on the wheel

And there are views changing with every passing second

Scenic landscapes and mystical clouds

Moon to follow and wind to entwine with the soul

And there are also remote areas,

Barren, beaten and unkempt

Its mandatory to look at everything – it all comes in the package you know

You get down after hours of drive

Exhausted and jammed knees

Stretch yourself a bit and enjoy the round about scenery

Take a little break, give yourself a little shake

And get on the vehicle

To continue the journey

Destination is important but not more than the voyage

And then you look at your people

Sitting next to you in the car

And you make a little talk and once again get behind the wheels

But you have now learnt for the next bump and the potholes

You know that you need to slow down and you can easily avoid the jerking

And it would be so amazing before you get back on that 200km/hr track

Oh all this distress will be so worth just for that little fun

Just for that fun, you take it all

The bumps and the goosebumps and the jerks and the jacks

But you don’t stop and you don’t get scared

And you know in your heart, that’s the best bit of this adventure

You will come back a changed man filled with tales

This trip will give you pleasure as much as it gave you pain

…..

Life is such a Roadtrip

Let it come as it may!

It’s a glass half full or glass half empty

It could be ‘shocking’ pink for one and ‘just’ pink for another; obsession for her, madness for him; love for some, addiction for others; expression for me, insanity for everyone else! When a glass is half filled with water, it’s up to you to decide its half filled or half empty.

Life is no big puzzle like this glass in question. In simple terms, life consists of just two entities- You yourself and everybody except you. Near-far, close-distant, strangers or not-so-strange, that’s how you can categorize each and every single person you have met throughout your entire birth hood to evil hood. It’s just being stupid , trying to make out problems out of nothing , figuring them out and coming up with a self-satisfactory(only) piece of shit which you can elevate in front of your ‘close’ ones and that only soothes your own ego (and I bet you know it).

Troubles don’t exist! They are just mental illusions which we make to keep us otherwise refrained and happy. We give our not-so-satisfied souls a little reason to be unhappy about something and then we do everything we can to come out of ‘it’ only to be happy .And being happy here is the name we give to ourselves swimming against the currents.

Acceptance is the mantra. ‘Something is always better than nothing’. I am reminded of a famous quote here  'I was sad because I had no shoes until I met a man that had no feet’(George Bernard Shaw)  Life is not that kind on everyone as it is on you. Stop grinning, sulking and bringing those annoying lines between your brows. Laugh so that people(from all the categories mentioned above) look forward for you. Smile because you are worth it!  Problems have a problem too; they stay away from people who say glass is half full!

So feel good, love candidly and giggle persistently .Guilt will shy away and who knows , the glass half empty can have some wine to ‘fill’ it up, if not water!

Hoping for the best myself!!
