But the Voyage Continues....................

“To live happier, more fulfilling lives, when we encounter a difficult circumstance, we must keep shifting our perspective and continually ask ourselves, “Is there a wiser, more enlightened way of looking at this seemingly negative situation?” Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest physicists ever, is reported to have said that we live on a minor planet of a very average star located within the outer limits of one of a hundred thousand million galaxies. How’s that for a shift in perspective? Given this information, are your troubles really that big? Are the problems you have experienced or the challenges you might currently be facing really as serious as you have made them out to be? We walk this planet for such a short time. In the overall scheme of things, our lives are mere blips on the canvas of eternity. So have the wisdom to enjoy the journey and savour the process.” .............. Robin S. Sharma

Yes, the voyage must continue. And so I start my journey afresh, with new hope and the promise of a brighter and more fulfilling tomorrow. May the setbacks I have faced, the mistakes I have made and the sufferings I have endured, be my teachers, and enlighten me with their wisdom in the days to come.

Till We Meet Again At Life's Crossroads

“No use getting misty eyed, it all screams by so fast”—Mick Jaggers True, life really does scream by. And very fast. The little pleasant happenings that lit up our lives for a few moments today or the things that robbed away an hour's sleep last night, are relegated to the back of our minds, to the realm of memories. But the mind has its diversions and memories get dim as time goes by, till some are completely lost. The overwhelming tide of the present continually consigns to oblivion many such moments of our lives. This blog is intended to preserve such little trifles from the onslaught of time. Another motivation is to record things and events, occurring around me, which have struck a chord deep inside, thrown my mind into overdrive, outraged me, left me speechless with wonder, caused emotional churnings or sent me into raptures. True, they may not be chronicles of changing times, like the letters of Einstein or Tagore, but they will preserve for posterity, precious glimpses ...

My Journey Reaches a Blind Alley

“I know I love songs of pain That caresses the bluntness of glass Where you see yourself Broken in a million pieces Unsung Undreamt...............” P.Banerjee, The Statesman My journey has just reached a blind alley. I had set off in quest of the fast lane. As I journeyed, days slipped into weeks and weeks into months; my determination wavered and I lost my perspective. Trudging along listlessly in a labyrinthine crisscross of lanes, just when I thought, I had had a wasted journey I beheld a path which offered a fascinating vista. With renewed energy, I gamboled down that path, starry-eyed. The journey down the path, while it lasted, was a surreal mix of events and fantasy. But then when I felt that I had almost made it, the path took a sharp turn and ended abruptly. Now that it’s all over, I am left with a heart filled with images of what could have been.
