The CIRCLE…



Journey – A combination of paths, space, time, wait, direction, emotions, difficulties, achievements, failures, happy moments, sadness and at times a feeling of immense bliss and ecstasy.

All of us have undergone this journey and carried along with us such times and still do and will going further till our last day. It is a well-known fact that a journey that starts at some point of time comes to an end. But, during the completion of every journey, one undergoes lots of twists and turns, bends & curves that make it difficult and at times cumbersome to reach that point of closure.

The inception of this unfolded travel  that initially takes off smoothly and that which has tasted the nectar of success and bathed in the rain of achievements and its different shades of accomplishments, all of a sudden or maybe in the due course of time either weakens or strengths itself depending on the pricks or fruits it bears.

Every journey irrespective of the time span travelled and the distance covered does 2 things-It either leaves a milestone at every important stop for other to follow or leaves behind empty space and dusty roads with no sign of return.

With so much of unpredictability, struggle, and uncertainty that it offers makes me think—what makes it interesting or worth take this long tour… Is it an individual choice or a compulsion? Is it a choice of an individual to fulfill a cause or a motive to reach a particular point or is it just to gather various delicacies that it offers which gets transformed into learning or is it just to live for the journey itself to gather that it bestows one with and relinquish it along…To imagine, feel touch, see, endure and applaud the beauty of it & thank oneself for being allowed to live it and, in turn, absorb all the events that come one’s way, to be able to be a part of it in any manner one can be.

What’s the most difficult part of the journey? Could be the acceptance of the flow of it. Trying to inhale the idea of its closure or maybe waiting to lead into space and the universe that everyone on earth belongs to…Or is it about leaving everything behind and the fear of the unknown, the reasons and contemplations could be umpteen. It could be unclear, at times very uncertain as it could be. Difficult to reason out with all wisdom and logic.

If I have to sum it up..The journey in all its senses, in my opinion, may end physically but not otherwise. It continues forever...The end of one point of it gives birth to the start of another...Which in turn follows and completes the circle and keeps evolving from time to time.

WOMAN-THY NAME.....

Strong as a rock, emotions running deep as the ocean, patience of a saint, sweet as nectar, innocence that of a child, Mysterious like the universe, thoughtful and wise like a preacher, at the same time furious like the fire, anger like the volcano but above all someone who stands against all odds...This is no one but a WOMAN. As I was passing by I heard someone ask. Do we really need a special Day to celebrate for Women? I t can be taken in 2 ways. One—Maybe because she is special always OR in a note so positive form—Like Why do we need a special day for her? Don’t we already have so many days to celebrate?? Well, my take is...we have valentine’s day for people to express love –rather people who love each other, we have mother’s day, father’s day, May day so on and so forth. But, they are categorized for either a section of people OR for certain relationships.  I feel, Woman's day is a day that acknowledges the female gender, as a whole, irrespective of age, nation

1996-A Summer Afternoon

It was a summer afternoon. I was going through my college photographs, wishing those days were back and time would just stop there. How Nostalgic...The mere thought of it would bring an instant smile on my face. I was lost in thought when I recollected one of those adventurous trips that we had on one such summer afternoon. We friends would love to explore different places during our graduation.Those were fun filled days..no stress, no tension (except exams and project completion not to deny). Those were the days when we just wanted to be in the open...with nature...Do what we feel is right and just not bothered about the rest of the world. As said by someone time doesn't wait for anyone and does not come back. We set off to a nearby place at first.This is in the southern state of India with its mystic beauty and full of valleys and greenery.A sight that would take any one's breath away...On the way back..we found a fishery.They would breed fish there.We thought of explo

invisible writer

It was just another dull, ordinary day.. a more or less a routine.. where one is programmed oneself and knows which task precedes the other… On such days we often feel there would be something exciting happening in our lives..  at least for a few minute. Maybe this was the day…. I stepped into office thinking the tasks to be completed and anticipating more tasks that would be piled up for that day…. Everything seemed normal as always…people greeted each other in between work. Some working seriously and while some were on a short break as they had arrived before our batch started working.. in shifts(night). no one knew what was in store ahead of us…we were planning the day’s work…I, as usual, switched on my PC and logged in. checked my inbox for a few new emails…. It was passed 1:00 a.m in the morning where one lives like they are on the other side of the globe. It was later then that I resumed my work…Was doing some updating of the work done before when the writer struc
