I’ve always had this insatiable urge to write. Ever since I could hold a pen in my hand, I realized that there’s some demon in me that wants to come out. The paper becomes a battlefield, where words wage wars against each other, each one wanting to outshine the previous one for depth and meaning..
Lets move on…
If ur reading this u probably already know me. for those who dont well , thats sumthing for me to know and for u to find out?
Well...The other day my alter ego decided to take me on an introspection ride. Below is an excerpt from the same:
AE: If given a chance to change one thing in your life what would it be?
me : Nothing, I have no regrets!!
And there it was, wearing my patent tilted, sarcastic smile looking at me as I have at others, relishing on their moments of discomfort. I was shocked to see what effect that had on me. Gosh! I thought. If that’s what I do, I have definitely managed to top a lot of hate lists by now.
me : Umm..it feels extremely proud saying that but the fact is, if given a chance I would have broken lesser number of hearts. That is one thing I would want to undo if I ever got a chance to go back into time.
AE: “You know why?”, weighing the words correctly it said after a pause, “Its because nothing said or done by someone to you leaves you completely. It lingers on, sometimes forever. It won’t pester you but it would be there, in the background. It’s like one more line drawn on your life's canvas. I think you have been smart enough to understand a lot of things much early in life. One-never try and forget because that is the time when the moments cling on to you with all the strength they can muster, two-talk about it. That’s the best way to move ahead. It doesn't look so difficult then.”
Shifting all its attention somewhere as if it were facing the camera, it spoke to an invisible audience,
“Yeah to all the broken souls this will sound like yet another lecture but trust me when I say, nothing remains forever. Neither good nor bad, neither happiness nor sadness.”I spoke, suddenly remembering, “Oh yes! My dad has something similar written in hindi on an acrylic sheet in his office. It says 'Yeh bhi nahi rahega...ha ha ha'.” I was silent for a little while going back on what I had said. Satisfied I continued, “One of the biggest facts put in the simplest words.”
AE continuet.”According to me…”
me: “You mean me??”
It dint take the joke too well, I doubt it even took it like one! Phew! These alter egos, I tell you!!! Fixing it’s stare on me, clearly expressing annoyance at being interrupted, it went on ignoring me airily, “The desire to relive certain moments gives rise to memories. Then why the hell would one want to run away from them? Think. The deepest and the most understood moments in one's life are the ones that haunt us the longest. The continuous clash between the want to re-live those moments and trying escape them plays havoc with our mind and heart.
Why bother ourselves so much when we can move ahead taking along everything that we have always wanted to? Each one of has that capacity.”
“A leader never walks alone. He takes the entire team along with him. That’s how it should be. Leading your life shouldn't be about moving ahead and discovering each time you look back that you are all alone. Let those memories cling on. Let the moments take you in their stride. Look them straight into the eyes and keep looking till it is time for one more moment to happen and the present one to pass by.”
“Everything has its time and occurrence and nothing happens before or after that. So if you try to stop it, your attempts would be in vain. It is clever to surrender to the laws of nature because life sure comes a full circle.
”Having managed to captivate all the five senses, it said the last words, the most effective sentences.“It is not about making the right choices but about choosing what you want. It is about taking decisions and never going back on them. It is about getting ready to face the consequences once the decisions have been taken. It is about listening to yourself when people are shouting advices in your ears. It is about stopping trying to undoing and redoing things. It is about making one more effort and peeling off one more layer of impossibilities.
It is about being there and then moving ahead.
"Ahem ahem! That was some speech!isnt it!!!
