An insane race,

A perplexing maze,
A clear haze.
We are all running!!
Hello!! What's the objective?
Where is the aim?
Excited and aggressive reds,
Tender pinks,
Hazardous and joyous yellows,
Loyal and depressed blues,
Envious and generous greens.
But where is the tranquil sheen?
Why is it so "black and white"
when it comes to me?
Hey! I know you all must be thinking itchy fingers and poetry!! :D :D
What to do! They got really inspired by people fretting over-well almost everything: be it studies, profession,
family,friends,career options and God knows! Maybe 50 Shades of Grey ;) or NaMo and RaGa ke raag!!
The point I am trying to make here is that we are running just because everyone else is and that too pointlessly,aimlessly tiring and losing ourselves in the entire process. Maybe I am sounding lil like Baba RanchodDas or appearing too philosophical suddenly but just pause and think how many times have you actually felt contented or good about yourselves? How many times have you re-read your favourite book, watched your favourite show or played the piano gathering dust in a corner ?
What I actually feel is that in order to get what by some invisible standards is a "MUST",we are letting the real us "RUST". Do you really need that food processor right now? Of course!
Sharma ji, Gupta ji,Malhotra ji all have it! Though I am on a strict diet regime, food processor
is the necessity of life!!
ROFL.....
We travel miles
searching for Smiles,
that actually inside us lies.
When will we become wise?
And come out of the web of lies
And give life some fair tries!!
Just think over it! You might meet yourselves while introspecting!!
Let us come to the innumerable hues that colour our perspectives and views. There are so many shades that we wade through and that invade our mood perpetually. People even use
mood rings these days! "My Precious"! :D
Okay! Jokes apart! But is it really meaningful to be painted the same hue as the herd we have all become a part of :knowingly or unknowingly.
Why are we too scared to be seen when we always have that thirst to prove ourselves?
Why are we too scared to realize our potential, the real us? Isn't everything actually "black and white" when we are not ready to give ourselves a chance while we are getting a lot angrier citing the the lack of opportunities! How confused we all are. Living in a hazy dream which seems crystal clear to our tired minds.
I don't think that I am the first person to raise such questions. These are the rhetorical questions that all of us ask ourselves a zillion times but we don't have any answer because you know what "we are all doers not thinkers and we don't even know what we are actually doing"!!
So here I leave you with you these unanswered questions and a few lines from my favourite song:
I hope your still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you will give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you DANCE!! I hope you DANCE!!
