Its been more than 26 years since i stepped into the world. Day in and day out I am seeing people running after self created essentials. To be frank i have joined the race long ago. Couple of days back suddenly something struck me; a harsh question for which i had no clear answer "Who am I and what am I doing in this world". The answer for this I had was a meek smile.
Then I thought may be I have lost myself to the race of life. But, may be we are trained from childhood to lose to the demands of life; hey hold on , the truth with most of us is we like to be what is accepted by mass. The constant search for satisfaction in things which has been historically accepted benchmarks of satisfaction; no wonder i lost self in the search.
The quest for RIGHT selection is after all person specific and every individual needs to find the person in him/her and constantly ask whats "RIGHT for me." It takes immense courage to step beyond the accepted lines but, then if one needs a common life whats the use of uncommon courage.
Now this brings to my favorite LEFT :) Every step we move forward it leaves footprints and if we move cyclically and re step on the footprints again & again, they form furrows of entrapment. May be every individual at some point in life feels that its high time to take diversion in life but, by then the depth of furrows discourages the person to the point of inaction. So may be in quest to do RIGHT , a quest for the things LEFT will make every step a new step which
In the constant quest for RIGHT there is always a LEFT which leads to things which will take us closer to things we have left.
I had to stop writing in the middle as the blog triggered my mind to explore into the past and into me as to what I am now and how has my life shaped by the choices I have made. I will not waste time over judging, if the choices were right or wrong but, my thoughts surely wavers around the choices I have left behind. May be I will never know if my life would have been any different if I would have taken some lefts in place of some rights and vice-versa.
At 26 I guess most people know where there life is heading to; I am not 100% sure about it though, just my guess !!but, as for me I would not even set goals and make my life move in stifled boundaries. I know there are enough Lefts and Rights ahead in my life; some of which I will take because I want to and some I will be forced to take. But, may be my biggest Right realization coming out of my left brain is "its not important to leave foot prints which will outshine other phases in life; but whats important is that every step I take, i rekindle a small hope for others and self". I would love to look back and see a life with millions moments enjoyed rather million moments burned for few ephemeral moments.
Enough of self love, self dream, self realization and self prophecy; may be few will read the blog and at end i don't want you to wonder why I wrote this blog. May be it would have been Right decision for me to push few things to my left and move along Right. True enough, but I will be more than happy for a single life which at least got a hint that life is not all about the Right choices which you think you make because people think its right but, things that your heart and soul thinks is right. Its high time we all blink away from everyday life and pick dreams which we have left and more importantly not bulge our LEFT out list with the dreams of our life.

RIGHT TO LEFT.. LEFT TO RIGHT... HA HA HA HA.. SO WHATS HIDDEN IN THE CLIMAX.. ITS RIGHT TO BE RIGHT AND LEAVE THE LEFT.. ????? !!!!!
Comment shall be written soon..watch out this space..
I think u can write some great inspirational novels like Atlas Shrugged....
.........Waiting for complete bolg
loved the article!!
may b bcoz i cud very well resonate with most of wat uve said..
very well articulated- " every step I take, i rekindle a small hope for others and self".- i think life is all abt that.. Only if people realise ther's life much beyond the rat race, life will definitely become easier , lovelier and more beautiful for most of us.
So far so good
Nice one dude.
Keep it up...!
Quite impressive dude..
You are free to think and plan for future...But there after, never regret looking @ LEFT... 'Cos it was ur decision... and it is bound to be RIGHT.. ;)
hummmmmmmmm.....
good stuff.... :-)
Here is the point:
The first thing very few pple can really make out as to what they really want in life...
really very few... so rest follow ur Right way of doing things... or they simply go along to get along..
And the second category is those who know what they want.. but dont have courage or will to follow it....
This is the category worth exporting... give it a thought... not all are bound by pressure from the surrounding...
not all are non-courageous... then whats it that holds them back..... worth thinking I guess... :-)
so many Right-left, right-left
I lost my way in between.
I don't know what is right/left
for me u are always RIGHT.
I liked -- "every step I take, I rekindle a small hope for others and self" &
"I lost self in the search"
My dear Ranjit... Life is a RACE as you said n nothing is right and at the same time nothing is wrong...Is life all about Choices? I doubt!!! There is much beyond all this,.. Every individual has a purpose in LIFE n it will be unfolded with time... undoubtedly :)
Felt good to read your blog.. it compels the reader to think about self.. n where they are heading in life!!! nice one dude.. continue the good work:)
it's all evolution silly!
