I am going HOME...finally!!!

Dreaming about the time when i would be standing at my doorsteps all strapped up…..watching my mom grin knowing that i wont be going away again...i was cognizant with the irony of that situation. Its time to leave something that has been with me for the past 4-5 yrs - the college campus....the night-outs..my roommates....those open roads...pleasant trees..temple bell....

I donno why?? but everything here seems untuned today.Has someone told them that this is my last day here....that today is all they have to be with me.....or is it the other way around??? I clomped down the roads wishing that life always remained slack....trying to play down the inevitable,that one day even i am gonna be the same'ol dreg that cuts across this piece of land.

Its quiet and cool in my room.I stand by the window staring into the infinite sky above....myriad of thoughts flurrying through my head.Like a chorus of the damned they plead for salvation.......

i think of the Life ahead.

They say it is a Turquoise sky in the making, a SKY so comely beautiful that it cant be real….Like contentment achieved only at the end of a long jading day. Guess its time for us mortals to TRY and attain immortality.

Amongst us are the future CEOs,inventors,investors…moms….dads. So what exactly can get us to that pinnacle? err!!! wrong question. What do I mean by the term 'pinnacle' in this context? ahh!! thats the right one.

My friends say they are finally absolved....free to do what they want to....to actually live life on their own terms. When we talk about freedom of thought, in the philosophical sense,I am definitely cynical because every single one of us acts under peripheral obligations and upto a certain extent an inner need. Free Will as usual plays its part. It is upon us to control and maintain the sanctity of life.

The future is as unknown as Life on earth tomorrow. The present is an illusion slipping through our fingers like dry sand in an ever so tight Fist. Only the past stays, a past which will help us build our future…Build and not Built. The difference between success and greatness lies in how well we understand this past(ours as well as the world’s).

Stories of the lives of our friends sunken in past grandeur confound us. Gone are the days when we could have been complacent. Expectations have risen. We all fear failures. There is nothing that’s gonna happen to us that hasn’t happened to someone else except for our way of handling it. When we speak of Life, all that is expected from us is to lead a simple one, it is as easy and as difficult as that. This world will teach us what we ought to learn in the long run and as always it is upto us to be a good student or a spoilt brat.

Really, no matter what the odds be we have a duty towards life, towards our loved ones. And never mind the millions who make it easy by taking the unrighteous paths, we will live here and we will succeed because then that’s what makes it OUR life.
