Semicolons ";" I face :)

These days the frequency of semicolons in my life keeps high! Today, I sat down to analyse.. what is it after all...

Sometimes, rather most of the times, we lose out on what we bank on the most!So many times, we excuse ourselves as adults! The kids get scoldings, punishments while the adults are excused. Practically its the adults who make bigger mistakes, who rather not learn from their mistakes, who risk more than necessary to repeat the cause of the mistake.

Why is it that we do not follow that strict regime that we were advised to, as kids! Why most of our time is spent in just temporary stitch ups, and we miss to take those wisest decisions in time!
Finally, we realise we are in a big time soup and its rather difficult a task to gather ourselves together and start afresh.

The good thing is, we know we have done it as kids, and would be able to do it time and again.
Its that sturdy faith that adulthood bestows on us :)

For those of you, who think this isn't your life that I'm speaking about.. do pat your back and keep checking yourself that you never fall into this puddle.For the rest of us, yes.. we know its a puddle! Why is it that we aren't ready to admit it.. lets just take our first step out of the puddle.. and Faith will do the rest. Amen! :)

Freedom

It was a new atmosphere, a new workplace I entered. The people were good, so was the building. But, the best source of inspiration, were the eagles flying around.
The sight was fascinating. Around a dozen eagles, flying independently, not wondering about another's line of flight. Pondering over their circular rounds, or racing up in the air, I could relate me, an "urban human" to it. Lost as we are, in our own routine, just like the eagles. Enjoying our freedom proudly, binging in our expensive habits, despite the hustle and bustle of the city.

Weeks passed. I never missed a single day to spot the eagles. Slowly and steadily I saw them flying away from my building. The numbers reduced to a couple. And, these days I see none.

Yes, the eagles migrated. Though, loners, they migrated together. This struck a deep thought within. When eagles migrate together, why is it that we urban humans never think a penny of our near and dear ones? Doesn't our migration, into new careers, newer relations, newer lands leave someone stranded in this desert of people!

Circumstances may lead to taking the difficult choice of juggling alone, but folks do we utilize the chance we get, to foster our long lost friends!! The eagles taught me, “Freedom tastes better with the peace of mind that no one is stranded.”

Many a times, trotting by the day, be it home, school, workplace or travel times...
...we miss to see humanity around!

This blog, "Everyday Stories", is an attempt to spice up our daily lives with a couple of such humanity condiments.

Lets together relive the words, "Life is beautiful!! :)"
