No 'U' Turns...

I promised myself that I will post a new blog entry over this weekend and so I am making this half hearted attempt ;-) to keep up that promise.

Sometimes life seems to me a long one way. You can drive down it as fast or as slow as you want but there aren’t any U turns and reverse gears. We keep moving on and then wish that those good times would have been a little longer, may be forever. When you were in school you wanted to go to college and then when you were in college you wanted to get in to professional life. Haven’t we always been looking ahead in future with a sense of impatience and restlessness for our initial part of life? And now, once in a while don’t you feel like going back and being a part of that innocent childhood, mom’s kitchen, sister’s dolls, accompanying Dad for a shopping spree, kites, street cricket, those true friends, being part of that house cleaning marathon during Diwali days, I can go on and on with this list but let’s face it, we can’t be there. No, I am not complaining, I am just realizing one fact here that you can’t go back. So the point is to live today, try to smile on yesterday no matter what it was and look forward to a tomorrow when looking back you will be smiling about today.

Now if that’s getting too philosophical, I apologize, philosophy isn’t my cup of tea. I talk out of my experiences in my little life and apparently life has been such a crazy ride that my experiences sounds like philosophy. Have a good week ahead.
