the roller coaster-expectation...
You must have seen a roller coaster go around the track. That thing has got no brake or any acceleration thing. It just goes up, down or around just by the kinetic and potential energy. Once it is started from its initial position, it just goes on according to the track. And if you are in it, the most important thing that you need to remember is “you can never ever drive it the way you want”. You just need to hang on and go along with it.
And if you are going to complain on not able to drive the thing, I don’t know how the roller coaster will take it. I don’t think it will care for those things, because even it doesn’t know, when it is going to turn, slide or even slip.
And I find this, strikingly similar to the people who put their expectations on others. I don’t know if they really believe in turning one’s path. For those who believe in that I have a warning for you “Roller coaster has every chance of slipping”. Then instead of enjoying the ride, you have to weep (I wonder if that will happen) for the disaster caused by the expectations.

the foot prints
It’s a long journey along the shores of the beach. And it all started well for boy. Walking was never a problem for him at the start. He just started as everyone, in the shades of his protectors. And walking didn’t fascinate him at first. He just saw his protectors leave a foot mark for him to follow. But at times he was surprised about the way in which they left a foot mark for him. But he blindly followed them till the time it was visible. Then the boy was shown a path, a path which was different from the direction of his protectors.
The boy realized that he has to go on in his own way from there. And at that time only he realized how important it is to leave a foot mark on his own. But the path which he chose was not deserted. He started his journey in a direction, watching carefully all the foot marks he makes. He was really fascinated to do it on the own. But the real distraction came when he saw other foot prints on the sand. He found some of them interesting and others were not much attractive to him. His curiosity for other foot prints made him forget about his own. But that was not really a concern for him at that time. There were so many foot prints, which crossed him, which he crossed, which were made with his help and the help with which he made. It was all a big confusion, a confusion which is often loved by people of certain age.

Locked up home
All i can see is a locked up door. When my second family moved out of town, i was left in the streets. And you cant really blame anyone for this situation. It is just a outburst of emotions from my side. All i can see now is a house with no life in it. And what seems to be a fun yesterday is now an emotion. I can just rewind all that happened in that house and feel happy about it. But it can never quench my thirst for second home. Certainly at any point of time in life, i would like to see that house open again and filled with the same lovely people. And may be its just too early to ask for that. But the doubt "will the lock be ever opened?" really deprives me off my second home. Let me wait for the years to come for answering the question.
Free now?

The silence which made him talk...
the roads were usual to him. he was not surprised by its deserted look as it was nearing midnight. but there was a joy in that silence. he was very hapy to walk those roads at that time. he just stopped for a moment to check out the sudden feeling he had at that time. his thoughts were streaming fast to find out what gave him those feelings. and at the end of all the streaming he found out that he is listening to himself rather than concentrating on any other thing or people or sounds.his thoughts and words were in perfect harmony with the environmrnt. the silence gave him time to think of himself, listen to what he wanted to say and walked slowly.
he realized that even though he had a comfortable life, friends, fun and other enjoyable stuffs a time for himself is very precious and he is missing it. and now the time is here. and he really wanted to enjoy the silence. and he did that. and he almost reached his home. and the he was not willing to look at his house. because he will be forced to leave this silenced world of himself and get back to the normal life. last thing he wanted was this time to be eternal. but when he reached his home he came to know that times like that need to come in random and not always. so that sanctity of that feeling will be maintained......

A beginning at the end...........
"well... is it tough for me to get out this? no way. when i was a kid people used to say i was fearless and bold. that's because people have seen me come out of a bore well hole alive and without any tears in my eyes at the age of 5. well that was just an accident. may be something like that happened because it was not in control at that time. now the doctors say its in my hands. so why cant i? just rewind what happened in my life. there were loss of dear one's at my very young age, which i overcame by making new friends and relationships. then i had an education which was smooth. then came the work life. a part of my life which started very well. so with the start of that came a family for me. well when everything was fine in the sail the disaster struck. a hole in the boat. the company crashed and i was left alone in the streets with my family. well i was in need of doing something to save the family. decided to start up my own business with some loans and made a descent living. then what's the point in having a business if u don't get any loss in it.again struggled. by that time i was well prepared for these things. even though it was not a cake walk i was able to make through it."
the voice continued " life was not that easy for me. the ship went through many storms in this journey. but as a sailor i have always enjoyed the trip. no complaints. i have learned from life. its all part and parcel of the game. you will enjoy it if u play it fully. that's what i did. well i can still feel the pain in my heart. not the one caused by any incidents of my life but by some health problem. and here i am lying in this bed with people around me. people who want me back. i can see a pic of my grandson holding my hands and praying for me to get up. well i earned this love of people also. i have lived my life a full circle. it started off with pain and ending with pain. but in between it was a great journey. a journey which i can ever cherish. i have seen it all and i am very content with this life. do i have to come back for a better end than this? well i don't think so....................."

pursuit is all you need....
just as he was moving towards his dreams, one more added to his dream account. this new dream was so heavy that he was not able to take it forward. and this dream is nothing but love. you know that butterflies in stomach feeling.?? ya exactly the same. he fell in love with a girl in his college. but he never had the courage to go and tell her about his feelings. so as usual he took steps to be a friend of her. and he succeed in that too. now did he gained any courage to say "i love you". ?? no. as usual there was a internal conflict of losing her friendship.
everything around him moved except him. the sense of incompletion took over him. he found himself lost in thoughts all the time. the thoughts which never brought any conclusions. he decided to open all those things to his close friend(not that girl). and that decision did made a difference in his life. when he opened up things to his friend he came to know that there is a fundamental difference between his dream of getting to that girl and the dream of about his career.
yeah that difference is called pursuit. when he went on to pursue his dreams, everything moved well and he was feeling good. since that pursuit part is missing he had this weighed down feeling.
so the boy came to know about his problem. what happened after that is none of our business. so i better stop here.
cheers :-)
