Couple of days back a sudden violent realisation came upon me. The Eternal Truth "this is just one life"! One continuous process where one grows older and moves thorough the different stages of life. Though the roles change with the changing circumstances but essentially the character remains the same. Like those never ending Balaji production's daily soaps!
When I spoke of this to my husband and friends they said "Yeh, that’s already known to us. What took you so long to understand?"
That set me thinking, why was I amazed by this thought NOW? This is what has been happening ever since I was born. This is what has been told to me a zillion times "study well if you want to do something in life, this is just one time you got". But then all those statements made their mark only now. Now, when half the time is already wasted, now when life is transformed into a boring rigmarole - home to office to home? Why now?
Probably that’s the key, my life. The way it’s shaping up or rather not :) the things that I wanted to do but never got around to do; the things I wanted to accomplish but never had the courage.
Or perhaps it’s the deep influence of our movies, where each actor plays a different character and goes through its full life story a different one each time. Being the kind of dreamer that I am I conjured that there will be a different character to be played after this one is over...may be.
Whatever it is, just as the saying goes its better late than never! This realisation made me think about life and what can be done now to make it worthwhile. The first in the direction is to let the world know what goes on in my mind :) and this is the place I have chosen.
