The World As I See It.

             "What is normal to the spider is chaos to the fly."

The feeling is same, this all is chaos to me. It is terrible, very terrible. At different times, deciphering between right and wrong has always remained a tough choice for me. However, this time, i know, its completely unfair.

On one fine day, a close friend called me very late in the night and said:

"I m a female, not that it should make any difference but in our society it does.....Why?"

I had no idea what hell had gone wrong with her. Why was she talking like that. However, somehow, i managed to mitigate her. But all through the next few days, the question kept hitting like a slap in my face. Why does it make any difference? I didn't put the blame on god, but whom is to blame then?

Another fine night and I was traveling to some place. It was a full moon night with stars glittering right up in the sky. The bus stopped at the some halt. Two women wearing modern attire entered the bus. Accompanied by no-one, they looked pretty confident. The journey was indeed pleasant before they entered the bus. As for no reason, the whole bus started staring at them and many also started passing bad comments. Things became bad, indeed worst. However, later the whole incident was  settled down  by some external interference. But this disturbing journey again made me think, whom is to blame? Their attire or the night?   

A few days back, while i was passing down the lane, i saw a man beating her wife. She was crying in pain for she did not pay her man for alcohol. It was really shameful incident, that in a country where even cows are treated as sacred as mothers, wives are beaten to death. However, the question still remain, whom is to blame? Alcohol or the money?

Another-day, a young women got to know that she had been cheated by her lover all through her life. While she was down on her knees, completely shattered. The man dint even have the balls to admit the truth. Whom is to blame? Love or something else? 

All of these incidents have one same question, whom is to blame? We may also leave it for the time to decide, but i know even this lifetime will be too short to embrace the answers. Nevertheless, we know the answers, still we'll come back time and time to ask whom is to blame?

Life Lessons

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both....

All of us must have read this beautiful creation by Robert Frost once in our life time. I too read it in my text books of IX grade. But, I hardly understood the real meaning hidden in the poem then. Also, i didn’t feel that, somewhere down the line, there would be a time in my life where I'll be standing at the same point where two roads diverge in a yellow wood.

Now-a-days, I have realised that now and then life has been surprising me with choices, choices which are awfully confusing and always pushing me in dire straits. When I look around myself, talk to people and my friends, I find many of them in the same situation. I am not talking about the materialistic choices like buying a "Levis" or "Gucci", a "Nike" or "Adidas". These all are material choices. And these all are in a way meaningless.

What make things go really messy are the big choices that make bigger differences in our lives. One such difficult choice can be choosing the career path. Every-time it happens, both the paths seems equally confusing. They both seem equally good and bad, both have certain constraints, both are  appreciated as well as criticised.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

Which one to choose?  This question really freaks my mind, time and time.

So, I made up my mind with this mantra. Make any one of the two choices and keep telling yourself that it is the best path for you or the best decision you could make. Proceed, believing in yourself. If all goes well, then nothing like that. However, if it happened that the other path could have had much better life, then DON’T REGRET THE DECISION you made. Because there is no way you could have known the results earlier. As the only way to know is by going for it. It was your decision, you choose what seemed best to you.Take responsibility and move forward but never ever regret over the decision. Be fearless, confident. And take your decisions and make them right. 

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
