The Journey Begins

It happens in every one's life probably, when he comes to a stage from where he cannot see what is there a few steps ahead. In a situation as tender as that, it is likely that he falters, stumbles and falls for it is dark as far as he can see. For me ,I had always been an ever hopeful soul. I have fallen down many a time, and hence I have quite mastered the art of knowing how to get up and gather courage to set a new goal. But there are times when experience ditches you in a big wild way. What is the walking stick then ? When the horizon seems to grey down and leaves no trace, when all that you have learnt simply fades away or even mocks at you, challenging you to take up the new yet interesting bait of life.

I still very often ponder how fate is shaped and why some people are always happy. Or is it just a facial gesture.I believe so.I asked an aged once, whether he regrets having done anything markedly wrong in life. The answer I got was amazing. He said, at an age of eighty he doesn't sit to judge what he had done was right or wrong. All he knew was, he has travelled an extraordinary journey, where you know not what your destination is. All you know is you have to take a course which has the least rocks on it. It is but natural that in an attempt to make the journey a smoother one, we often take a diversion which is not right ethically but which is just considering the gravity of the current situation. Hence it is foolish to regret having done something and it is wise just to reminisce the episodes with a smile on face.

I was greatly impressed with the advice the old heart had for me. I had decided to set out on a new journey called Life on that day. Here on you will read so many wild, stupid, exciting, dull, intriguing or commonplace tales. A tale that will have a bit of me in it. Wish you a happy journey with me ....Koyel .
