You do raise pertinent questions. I also wonder what I would have done had I not taken the road travelled by all. Sometimes, one longs to break the shackles perhaps because one has been there and done that. I know of people who have done what their heart desires and now long for the monotony of a routine family and job. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side :).Rachnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275266551382931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-28314816827343026852011-09-01T23:13:12.422+05:302011-09-01T23:13:12.422+05:30@ Bikramjit,

I wonder if you would ever know what went through my mind and what prompted me to scribble this.<br /><br /><br />@ Petty Witter,<br /><br />Thanks. I love the poem of Frost. Its too beautiful to not keep loving it.<br /><br /><br />@ Kavitham<br /><br />No, I'm afraid its late now.

Certainly. But an ...@ Insignia,<br /><br />Self realisation?<br /><br />Certainly. But an opinion in retrospect is a good as putting the cart before the horse or even like bolting the stables once the animal has run afar. We are so bound by what is dangled in front, the transient things, that we do not search for the body of water to quench, but kill the thought of thirst as you mentioned.<br /><br />@ NRIGirl,<br /><br />Did I yell at you? I thought I was yelling within.<br /><br />@ melange,<br />yes I remember the movie "Guru".<br /><br />And maturity is not synonymous with age. I have sen a few kids who are far immaculate for their age, much matured than we the oldies. And many geriatrics as dumb as dumb can be. Because they have not opened their eyes to life and what life held for them.<br />Oh ya disillusionment, who can foresee?

Most of the so called 'matured middle-aged' people from our region,suddenly goes into a cocoon after 35 and start chanting the same old judgements and ideas boasting their 'maturity' part.Such people have this tendency to hide or intentionally forget things which you have scribed here in this post.I absolutely appreciate this one.<br /><br />And yes Anil,that path we may choose to prove our life,with a passion of our own,it may be hard.It may not bring us usual happiness we'see 'around.Yet I love to live my own life.<br /><br />Cheers !Mélangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807745317206193365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-19838792980435963512011-08-30T18:43:20.825+05:302011-08-30T18:43:20.825+05:30I feel like I was being yelled at! :)I feel like I was being yelled at! :)NRIGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02709704269988589729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-68949598270420981412011-08-30T16:06:25.074+05:302011-08-30T16:06:25.074+05:30What made you write this now?
