“Life is a journey…..”
“Life is a journey…..”
Little correction to this….. “Journeys have become a life these days”……
Never ever thought that all of sudden life will change a track from seemingly slow pace to superfast lane…..so many turning points and so many new experiences will come along in this phase of life….where I have succeeded to achieve certain social and financial status(although very fake concepts “karnaa padtaa hai boss”)….but simultaneously this is the same phase of life where every morning sun rises with the questions …..”what am I up to?”….”is it really what I wanted after completing my 8 years long engineering studies?”…..what I want out of this single and very unique life on its own called “Raghuraj’s life” ?....
Beep beep….u got a new sms….one of my unseen chat friend.. …sends me a text message on my cell….which says….
“A lot of things go unquestioned, lot of things go unanswered… Few words go unsaid, few go unheard…sum dreams are buried alive, and still we call it a LIFE. Gd Nite Tk Care”
Quite metaphoric to all of our lives.
It requires a lot of force to be thrown out of your comfort zone…..very consequential but totally unexpected circumstances act as that force to pull us out and to made us realize that…. it wasn’t that difficult ….. it wasn’t that difficult to be alone and isolated….. it wasn’t that difficult sharing a dark room with your innermost thoughts sometimes very frightening …sometimes very joyous and endearing…life in that moment is over once that moment is over….no second chance…desperately waiting for “Time machine” concept to come alive..
These small yet very frequent journeys….to the places…to different phases of life…to the unknown islands of minds….. have very calming effect on my arrogance and on my ego…..helped me a lot to understand how small were the problems which I used to perceive as mountains…..(for e.g. dry day on Gandhi jayanti J )
11:30pm….weekend…98.3FM radio mirachi pe aap sun rahe hai purani jeans ..RJ smita k saath…and she plays the song….”Naa jane qyuu hotaa hai ye jindagi k saath..”…I handover five rupee coin to chaii walaa…..me sleepish but awake….Heena travels bus moves from narayanpur dhaba towards pune….
“Happy journey ….”

“Happy journey ….”
Have gone through the whole set of ideas and facts and experiences you have presented in the above stanza. Still trying to figure out what exactly it meant. On one side of the total experience you have put forth the facts that it is not very difficult to be alone and isolated and gives quality time for retrospection. But, frankly I have failed to understand whether you have accepted the same or you want to get out of the same.
ReplyDeleteU know some times in life we reach a stage when we look back and find out that after 5-6 years of hard work we are back to square one. Life tends to run in circles. We need to be rational to come out of it.
So be rational and come out of Nashik dude. Its better to be in Pune.
Waiting for u...........
Ya and one more thing Dry days dont matter much. You can always say CHEERS in a Journey called life.
Cheers..........

ReplyDeletearey sarkar.. mast likha hai blog..
I agree that these days life has gone into superfast mode.. These days there are so many turning points in one’s life. You are wondering after 8 long years of engineering studies what am I up to?? And what you want out of this life..? I am still studying and have changed my career path 4-5 times.. I started out with wanting to become a software engineer.. then after some thought and a look at the career graph… I decided to go for law.. legal law or corporate law.. family law or commercial law.. 3 years I stuck to law… this trip to india I realized that law is not for me… because I wanted to scream my lungs out in court “Your Honour.. My Lord…” but then due to family resistance I had to change that because family friends said I might look like a kaala kaua.. (black crow). Till 2 months back, I was debating between MBA in Marketing or HR… While debating on my future, I forgot to think about my present.
Reading your "unseen chat friend’s" sms -
“A lot of things go unquestioned, lot of things go unanswered… Few words go unsaid, few go unheard…some dreams are buried alive, and still we call it a LIFE" - holds very true. Up till now, I don’t know the exact reason of me changing careers between software engineer, law… I gave up on my dreams –buried them alive.
Finally, tharavla me..BBA and MBA in HR…
Some part of me still wants to go and become that engineer or lawyer.. but I have left it up to fate, destiny.. This blog response is not about fate na.. so will write a blog post on mera blog about “taqdeer, kismat..”
I agree with you sarkar when you say that it is difficult to consciously think about those deep dark innermost secrets and letting those desires out can be very frightening. At times they do bring happiness.. but life gives us only one chance.. one moment.. one second… We need to realize that the one chance, moment or second will never come back… It is at these times I feel a time machine to go BACK in time should be invented.. Often I find myself wondering.. “kaash maine kuch kiya hota.. toh shayad mera aaj alag hota…”
Ok bahut likh liya maine.. will stop now.. see.. I went into that room of dark innermost thoughts while in reality…
Life is all about living for each moment and I think sometimes we forget that..
Haso, Jiyo, Muskurao..
kyunki kya pata,
Kal Ho Na Ho..
*sorry thoda lengthy ho gaya.. :P
Hiiiiii Raghu,
ReplyDeleteSuch a great philosophy of life in a simple way…………..
Life is journey and we have to enjoy this journey by our own way which we have to decide by our own………..
No body with us till our end only it’s our self who is always with us……………
So three cheers for this long live journey………………….
With following this songs …….
“Jindgi tere gam ne hame rishte naye samjhaye,
Mile to yaha dhup me mile chawn ke thande saye,
Tujhse naraj nahi jindgi hairan hu main…………….”
Keep writting..........
Jaya
