A tough choice!

-

 Every accomplishment, person or result in life has a process or journey preceding it, isn’t it? Now given a choice between experiencing the whole journey to reach this destination vs ‘the final destination has arrived’ what would you choose? 

Seems like a simple choice, why take trouble when there’s an ‘anywhere door’?! But let’s make this a difficult one…


It all starts with where does one want to go? What’s your aim? Is it a University, a career, a person, an exam, a consequence of peer pressure or just footsteps of your inspirational idol. Is it good to have an idol? Well that’s a completely different story, for some other day! 

Once a destination is determined, we start attempting to work towards achieving it. Assuming it’s achieved, there’s no motivation to move forward towards something else? Or rather a short term of aimlessness prevails until another aim is found. Why not aim for the ultimate then?

Going back in time, before achieving what one would’ve always wanted. If at all, it was given in a silver platter, would we enjoy it as much as we would if we were to struggle for it? Debatable. 
If the word ‘struggle’ is replaced with living an experience to the fullest, then the choice is definitely a difficult one...

We all have that one incident, to illustrate some of the most precious lessons life has in store for each one of us. This was mine. Something I would’ve always wanted to study, but didn’t know if it was my true calling. Yet, after a series of events, there you stand with what you would’ve loved to cherish as a true engineer!

The process was incredible, let alone the joy after so much uncertainty and no expectations at all. Meeting some people, with just few hours of interaction and yet a creation of remarkable bonds. These, opening new doors of  opportunities with more valuable encounters to come…

Sometimes a breaking point is reached and I do agree these experiences can get bitter. Even the destination ‘seems’ embittered and worthless. But the brighter side would be finding some angels within yourself and your surroundings who would truly mean a treasure to celebrate for a lifetime. Connections that keep getting stronger after each passing thunder…
Friends... that become family. 🥰

With that wisdom, support and confidence aren’t we prepared for more challenging voyages to come? Now that one destination doesn’t seem to matter as much… Falling in love with the process seems beautiful, doesn’t it? What if love itself was also a process? 

Besides it’s important to know how to dive when there’s ocean gate and you don’t know where the titanic lies! 😔
Skills that could possibly take you to the deep Mariana trench too! :p

To those excursions that never seem to end, 
but deep down are getting more breathtaking as we pretend to escape,
Every second is worth adoring on this cruise, 
As what’s yours and meant to be will ultimately make it’s way to you! ❤️

Experiences!

  In this never ending lifespan of ours which we think won’t end soon, isn’t it our nature to characterise every adventure into good, bad, a mistake, that dream and many more labels that we can think of… As much as these add clarity in our not so busy minds, they also create impressions that can last a lifetime. Most times rather than cautioning us against danger they can just haunt us amid daily troubles. Can everything be considered an experience?  Shouldn’t the intention behind something count in our classifications of what’s right and wrong?  When the intention behind something isn’t wrong, then how can it ever be considered false? To whatever extent someone else misinterprets one’s actions….As long as we know we’ve remained true to ourselves nothing else should matter, isn’t it? But….the very fact of being misunderstood can hurt a ton what so ever! On the other hand some experiences can be very new at first, beautiful yet questionable… it’s not easy to decide what th...

Ever felt everything that you wished for, desired or wanted to cherish as yours is beyond your reach? Sometimes there’s no way to get there, nothing to be seen, no path, no guide, in-fact no hope at times… Coming to an important question, why do we look for or want what’s unknown to us? Or assume how our response would be after we have it?  Haven't you wondered sometimes, that what we wished by all ways, may not be the right thing to gain?  In that case, isn’t it beneficial to believe in going with the flow and accepting whatever comes your way, without a single question as to why me at all, this day?  Wishes…we all have too many, isn’t it? Some are just beyond sight while quite a few have been heartfelt prayers from a while.  Not a single ray of sunshine to guide this row, yet we continue to hope in search of it over and over.  Isn’t it stupidity or lies to oneself, while expecting something near to impossible to happen? Is anything impossible at all? Something...

A year!

2023 was supposed to be my year!  How is that, it’s already falling apart?  Probably 2024 is the one, isn’t it? I hope it is… We all have this feeling, don’t we? With every passing year, we hope it’s our year. A time when everything goes in your favour, major changes towards a promising future take place and life magically isn’t the same anymore.  While this is possible, it may not be feasible.  Everything is a mix of some happiness and sorrow . Having that heartbreak, which may not seem very healthy, is a long term benefit for oneself, that has taught a ton of lessons. Instead of consuming oneself for someone who wouldn’t even care, it’s better to get shattered all at once and start afresh. Not that everyone is soughed but sometimes it’s just people behave way too differently. That affects… Doesn’t it? Memories flash back and it gets difficult many a times.  Careers, missed opportunities, or just those targets to be achieved, become far fetched. It all seems ou...
