Life and Choices

It’s a Christmas Eve and I am on terrace watching people getting ready to celebrate Christmas. Not much of a festival view though, as I am residing in a locality where Christians are less. Neighbor’s kid is preparing himself for the Christmas celebration and asking his Mom what all things he is going to do for the celebration. I remembered the Diwali celebrations by kids. They were also happy about the festival and they were also excited. Both the kids were unaware about the religion but they were simply happy about the celebration. Their birth was not chosen by them.
                I wonder there are choices that we make and there are some which are not in our hand. Are we happy with the choices that we have made from childhood to till now? Did we make our choices or we were under some pressure to choose the one in which we are living now? Do we regret the choices we have made? So many questions.
                From the day we chose our first subject of choice to learn, we have left one choice. The opportunity cost of leaving that choice we never calculated. We chose our choice based on our instinct or likings or our strengths. I don’t know about yours but I do feel some days that when I see an advertisement on TV about joining the Indian Air force I feel it would have been a different life if I tried and done something like that. The next moment I felt, “no I was not meant for something like that. What I have chosen to be is the right choice for me”. But how can one say what he has chosen is right? Because most of our choices are based on our likings, we have never explored that choice which we have not made. So we actually cannot say what we have chosen is the right choice that we have made. But surely that is the choice we are living and for the most part of it we are happy. It means there is nothing right or wrong in the choices that we have made. It’s just that a few choices that we made for ourselves worked for us and few did not.
                The choices that we made are ours and we will have to live by them. The ones that we left are not meant for us. That does not mean they were the wrong choices but yes they were not the ones meant for us!!!

Perfect Ending

When do you know it’s the right time to end something that you have started knowingly or unknowingly? Men and women both go through this problem, it is not gender biased. I personally most of the times wonder what is the right ending conversation when you are chatting with someone on WhatsApp. For Ex. You said your love a good night and she replied back saying good night honey.. sweet dreams take care J . You are an idiot now. You have not told the sweet dreams and the honey stuff to her but she did so now a part of you forces you to reply with a smiley or some other random line like love you honey. Now that the other person has not said love you that person will have to say Love you too baby!! So I think there is no perfect ending line for anything and even for relationships. It has to go through all the phases and reach its destiny. Now that I am thinking of relationship ending lines, is there any specific line that ends it properly. It might happen that both know that their relat...

Story of an Ant

John was running for saving his life. White and pretty girls in black skirt and white top are chasing him with axe in hand. The ground was wet, there were water and garbage all around. John steps on cow dung and slips shouting oh shit!!! Girl in front of the chasing party shouts at john "yes you are a shit!!" . With no intention of letting him go, the girls started throwing their axes at John . looking back and avoiding the incoming axes and keeping the same pace was getting difficult. Suddenly a girl with beautiful looks with an average height of 5 feet catches the eyes of john. She is not the prettiest but their was some magnetism in her face and her skirt which is making waves. For a moment john forgot the need of the hour and there it is, a axe peers his chest and a foam like stuff starts coming off johns mouth. He wipes it and looks for a cloth to clean his hand and there is nothing around and suddenly he realises he is on bed and wipes his hand to the pillow. A hot wa...
