LIFE...are we living it??
This quaetion has long haunted me and post lage raho munnabhai... this issue has again rejuvenated. crowd,noise,pollution,the unending race after time,JEE,CAT,GRE, the hunhub the tension ...where is the life that was supposed to be gone??The question is that chasing after our ever changing dreams have we stopped enjoying the journey.
Just a few days I was returning back from home.There is a 1.5 km stretch that I have to walk home.The city was just waking up.As I waking at my own leisurly pace,I could see the occasional vehicles passing by.All sorts of people - new techies going for their work in company cabs,parents dropping their children to school,school buses.It was like my chain of thought was being instigated by the woosh of the passing of vehicles.An occasional 16 something too passed by pushing their scotteretes to its limits.reminded me of myself a years back though I owned a good old Bajaj priya :).
All this was very good.But the saddest part was that I could not find a single smile on any face.It started out as a casual observation but even after carefully looking at each face passing by me in fast forward motion(likr our lives),I could not find even one smile.It seemed all of their were contorted into some weird expression that was incomprehensible to me.Some faces which I could not see were buried in text books.Is this what we have bargained for??and you want to know the weirdest part of all-the only face that shone of happiness.A laborer(thats my guess) goin on a batterd ATLAS in one of the shabbier set of clothes you will see humming some hindi song..
Is all hope lost...not yet..not yet..

I am the silent observer of all that happens around me.Blessed with powers of observance that transcend normal limits I see it all.But Alas!, stuck in a mortal form,for good or bad,I find myself helpless in intervening in them.
May the force be with you

True but alas... still false
U still do find smiles in people, thats only when u smile first, I smile at the world the world always smiles back at me!
Yup except in a few rare occasions that is :)
And oh ya, the reason I made by blog private was cos no one was commenting :(
NO ONE!
This is to be a Kshatriya. Never to smile, never to rejoice but to follow that distant flame, forever, till Moksha is attained. Its another issue that that flame is forever distant, Moksha is never to be.
But what has a Sudra to follow. It is not for him to attain, not for him to reach.
So, my friend, he smiles, he sings away his life.
PS: don't blame me for writing philo crap when you do that too.
Dayal It is true
We all are running a race..the end which even we dont know...but going by the way as the other r going.
People have forgotten there interest...everybody is going behind other
One can only be happy if he do wat he likes not copy others.
very much true but you cant help it
i think we still enjoy life. and we will as long as we are in college. afta that i dunno...
get in love man.........or try searching for people in love......and look at their faces.........they keep smiling for no reason...........
the simpler the life the more are the joys of simple things.....actually we should not look for reasons to be happy but simply realize that this life itself...this experience of feeling things itself is life
