Pen down!

Okay, so the pen, no...rather the fingers finally hit the keypad, and i finally start pounding on them. but who knows for how long? Dont tell me that this too shall pass? yeah never know just few days back i wrote to a person i loved dearly that life is full of ironies, and everything now seems ephemeral to me. So i sat back and thought that i would just like to once hold on to the moment and not let it pass by.

Its like magic when i think, the mind is the instrument that creates the musical notes in our lives, it could be a soothing note, a delirious note, or even a morbid one.But then the choices are too many, and we moslty end up following a totally different tune,not our own.....but that created by someone else!

Then one fine day i wake up and realize that my music could have lasted longer, could have insipired me further, could have perpetuated my fate or destiny!alas, why is it that we realize things a bit late, when its a gargantuan task to reverse the things done? do i have the zest to go forward and fight an open battle? fight on plains my feet have not dared to touch, on hills that man has gone no forward than a mere thought?

Okay, if i had one wish in this lifetime what would it be? have u thought of it? I have ....but i think i want to many things. Cause my thoery of life today rests on the biology of thought : interdependance. Solitary bliss? no.... again like i said...ephemeral...and again i say..' that too will pass'

so what is it that lasts forever? can i build something that screams...hey look here, i walked this earth, i also did so much! can you see................?

That was excellent. Very well penned..... or rather, fingered :)

This too shall pass. But then, that will come in to replace this...

Have to quote longfellow here
" Lives of great men all remind us,
we can make our lives sublime,
and departing leave behind us,
footprints on the sands of time"

The forevers were not created by people who were looking at creating the everlasting fire or having a tryst with destiny. They were created by people who had belief in their passions and the faith to back it up...

And following anybody else's tunes will lead us to being mice, following the tune of the pied piper, and we all know the end to those tiny creatures, na? that takes us nowhere.... And to me, following one's own tune comes later, first it is about realising what one's own tune is. Still looking for mine...

Keep writing.
