Just For The Record

It seems such a waste of one’s life energy aiming to always set a new world record
It may be difficult to comprehend how some derive joy when pierced with a sword
As one sets about planning and executing one needs to be continuously on guard
A moment of indecision or delay may even put you at risk of severing your life cord

The sense of adrenaline rush that one gets while in the midst of pristine Nature
The sense of pride that one feels when one scales the dangerous peaks of stature
The sense of serenity and fulfilment one develops while exploring the unmanned Ocean
The sense of achievement and ultimate high one feels when exploring spaces yet unseen

Is it just the desire to live life kingsize or is it the ego that needs pampering with periodic shots
Is it living with a high level of self awareness or is it craving attention from the highly stressed lot
Is it a high level of self confidence that provides strength or a sense of insecurity that retards growth
Is it foreseeing the future and being on top of trends or having to continously catch up to stay afloat

As someone says when you walk into the field one just needs to play your natural game
One should not restrict the freedom in playing and experimenting with one’s range of shots
When you are focused on the moment you no longer track time as you lose yourself in your song
A blinded focus to get your name entered in the record books may restrict your hittting the gong!

An Engrossing Journey

I never knew that I am going to have the ride of my life
As I mounted the cart old memories slowly began to part
It did take time to adjust to the dynamic rules of the game
In the context of real time the complexity hardly lit the flame

It did not come as a surprise when the tower vision finally took over
The foundation got laid for a new reality when others had to run for cover
The intense clarity triggered off a passion reflected in a deafening roar
The mood of the hour was not lost amidst the din of cheer and joy galore

I could see the inter twined connections of the series of life situations
It was no surprise that there was a higher power guiding the direction
There was such a rhythm and synchronocity as events began to unfold
One could never imagine a different reality that did not have you in its hold

It was all well planned with acute attention to time and manner of coordination
It was no wonder that the environment factors facilitated a flawless execution
As the journey got gripping one could only pray for continuity of the magical wand
There was not even an iota of doubt on the continued support of the divine hand

It was a blessing in disguise to be genetically endowed resulting in periodic loss of memory
It never felt that there was a race going on and that one had to match up to other’s pace
I could be completely at peace and relaxed that the director knew when to abort the shoot
It was no wonder that life now seemed an eternal musical resembling notes of the divine flute!

Clearing the Cob Web

Many a time we realize that our life seems to resemble a series of cobwebs
It may not be a pleasant experience to savour in one’s attempt to keep it simple
It may be an outcome of one’s conscious attempt to ignore problems of old
If you are still in a sleep mode its time you awaken and shake off your mould

Various experiences of life presents a different perspective and share of baggage
Daily interactions in going about the ways of the world may force you into a rage
One may go about living their beliefs and judgement they have now come to trust
The elephant and blind men narrate a story where one’s limitations are put to the test

As you live your day you seem to be inundated with information from various sources
Many a time it also results in you feeling inadequate and letting loose expletives and curses
One may find it difficult to fathom which of the facts should one believe and espouse
One may understand though in an imperfect world that lack of focus does accumulate moss

One may be sticking to traditions and beliefs that may have no relevance in the present
One may resist a change to accumulated habits and may be the stumbling block in self ascent
One may put off urgent and important actions to a later date hoping it will not be too late
One needs to realize that wishful thinking without actions may never let one start off on a new slate

There may be moments when leading a life of indulgence one seems to have hit a roadblock
One may need a shake up in one’s life and you may want to consciously now look at the clock
One may need to roll up their sleeves and diligently clear off the cobwebs from their stable
Seeking answers from within and altering one’s perspective may be the key to leave behind a life of gamble!
