4. Race (A Verse).

Some run slow, some run fast
Each one has a difference pace

A slow-down makes me turn blue
To be happy, I speed-up the chase

I always wait for that time when
I am supposed to get a salary raise

I get influenced by others and then
strive to build a so-called “own” grace

I crib about being oily and dark but
Black will be the smoke from my face

I long to sleep on a golden bed
Ultimately, I’ll sleep on wooden base

I don’t realize that wherever I go
All roads lead to the same place

Funeral home is the final point
which puts an end to the race

3. Choice.

Choice is what I simply choose to be, to do. That’s all.

Choice and Decision are 2 totally different things. Choice evolves from heart and the action starts. Decision may or may not evolve from heart but prior to action, there is an intermediate step of logical thinking and conclusion thereafter.

Choice is like – I want to do and I start doing it. No reasoning whatsoever. For instance, one fine day, I feel like going for wild life photography and I start my excursion immediately. This is a choice.

Drilling down, there are a lot of intermediate decisions like selecting the best jungle, the safest place, manipulating the risks involved. All this is logic. Of course, its worth if it doesn’t kill the passion; the choice persists.

Let’s categorize choice and decision

1. I choose because I will be benefited from it. – Decision.
2. I choose because I want it – Decision.
3. I choose because I like it – Decision.
4. I choose because I choose it – Close to choice but not choice.
5. I choose. (‘because’ is non-existent) – Choice.

...More to come… after some more logical analysis on Choice and Decision :)

2. Chalte Rehna.

Lakshya se hi shuru hota hai safar, Chalte rehna
Ho sakta hai, lage mushkil dagar, Chalte rehna
Mile na mile koi humsafar, Chalte rehna
Raah pe pair, aankhen manzil par, Chalte rehna

Gali, Gaav, Moholla, Sehar, Chalte rehna
Thak jaaye to do pal thehar, Chalte rehna
Tu kar sakta hai, tujhme hai hunar, Chalte rehna
Aisa waisa nahi hai tera Jigar, Chalte rehna

Chalna hai tera karm, na soch agar magar, Chalte rehna
Tujhe rokne waalo ko samajh kar kaayar, Chalte rehna
Ant me ek hi baat pe rakh kar nazar, Chalte rehna
Raah hai baahar, Manzil hai bheetar, Chalte rehna

KEEP WALKING...

1. Proud.

I always feel proud about some or the other thing. In fact, I feel proud about everything I feel I possess. The vague thing about this is there are things which if some one else possesses (considering he or she doesn’t possess), he or she may not feel proud about but I still do.

Moreover, there are instances where I am proud about a certain thing and if that comes to an end or may be the opposite of that thing become a part of my life; my proud feeling will still stay.

Confusing, huh!!

An example – If I am up by 6AM each day, I will carry a proud feeling of getting up early. After a while, my schedule changes and I starting getting up by 9AM, I will start feeling proud about it saying – I have a leisurely sleep each day.

Analyzing further, I see so many things (actually all the things) I am proud of, which are as follows

I am proud of being –
Practical
Punctual
Short-tempered
Particular
Smart
Dynamic
Impatient
A leader
Illogical at times and logical at times too
Fitness freak
Sporty
A great driver
Crazy
Sensible
Sensitive
Hearty
Nature lover
Humorous
Artistic
Mimic
Extrovert
Fun-filled
Dominating
Chauvinist
Casual

All these so-called adjectives are usually followed by a line at the conscious level. For instance, when I think of being punctual, it is followed by a remark – Dude, no one can be as punctual as I am. This remark is usually to the self but at times as a statement to others too.

I really feel proud in expressing my feeling and publishing it as a blog followed by circulating to my dear ones saying that look this is what I introspect and ultimately, I am proud of my introspections as well.
