reflection

How quickly does the life change! I was just flipping through some pages of my yesteryear,and suddenly realized that its not too long that I left all of it behind. But, yet it feels as if I have walked miles. It feels as if all of that can be cautiously termed as history. Life is so small in size yet, when we are on its journey it feels so long and sometimes tiring. A year back, I was a student, enjoying my last few months at campus. One more step backwards, I was sitting in LCs, sleeping in lectures and finishing assignments. One more step backwards, I was in company eagerly waiting for my GD PIs. I can't stop counting backwards. Yet, when I try to think about all this, I can traverse the whole journey of 15 - 16 years of conscious living in a minute. Its so small, isn't ?

9 months back, I came to Hyderabad to join Accenture. Unlike others, I was worried because I never wanted to go back to work. But, today after 9 months, all the sufferings look too small. It feels life chose its course and I was just following it whether I agreed to it or not.

Time passes by. We grow up. The other day, we may get married, then children, then a different life. Sometimes, I think too mush about all this hoping that I will make my future better. But, the future is too near, isn't ? And, any attempt to make it beautiful is worth less if the present is not beautiful. So many thoughts. so many emotions, so many feelings -- all come and go, yet you can define life in just in a few words or may be by a smile on your face. That's it. Probably Shakespeare was correct when he said "All the world is a stage." Yes, and we are just playing our parts, what ever is assigned to us. The beauty is that no other person except me fits in my role. So there is no right, no wrong, no just or unjust. The play has its own meaning, we realize it later.

Yes, life has changed so much. We have left so much behind. But, there is still much that is awaiting our touch, our presence. Lets participate truthfully in this play of life.
