Here I am stuck in the middle of nowhere…
Trying hard to guess where I’ve reached… even started off or not!
Things get a little more kinda catchy when important pieces of your life are prefixed by twists, & the not so important ones are taking the bumpy serpentine ride.
As sloppy as Bugs Bunny on 'grass'…I was spending my days as if life was forever.
Well, 05th August 2004, is when I lost the cushion in my life. Pa. The first twist that came when we thought that things had just started to settle.
Really don’t remember or maybe don’t want to remember how it felt while I was holding on to his last glimpses. Just wished life had an undo button, but then, privileges aren’t meant to last for long.
And then, at 17 years of age, I understood that boy; you’re class bunking days are over.
Within half a year, could just manage to get back on the road, but this time ‘I’ was driving & learning how to drive at the same time.
Sometime from then, was wrapping up college & I realized that cupid had struck me. My best pal became my best pal once again…this time for life!
Life became easy once again ;-)
And to my surprise, I couldn’t try hard but still managed His attention to navigate!
20 January, 2006. The day I was holding my first Letter of Appointment, & that too having to complete one more semester to graduate.
Yippie! Was all I said then, coz I knew Pa was happy too.
But again, the ‘T’ letter word hadn’t been used for too long now.
Mummy had a lil’ different plan for her son…Twist No.02 ma friends.
It took some time & a decent salary package to make her realize that good decision making can be done before 46 as well.
Ok…things were moving just fine. We both enrolled ourselves with a premier B-School via Executive Education to strike off our parent’s liabilities one by one.
Today, life’s still moving just fine. But as English language describes, even ‘fine’ has three versions. Fine. Finer. Finest.
My girl & I have played the same script of life…just a little here & there.
And the ‘T’ letter word appeared yet again. Twist No. 03.
A single parent & an ailing patient is what her Pa’s roles are…double role huh! She’s been a good daughter…but now she’s looking for a job.
Wow…life’s unpredictable & this is not news!
Now, as far as I go…I’m in the same company for over 3.5 years now & my desperation for a raise is evident even on the most short lived expression of my face.
Well, I know folks that this is an abrupt ending but, the essence of it is that what you call life is just the next level. You are always at the penultimate stage shouting your lungs out to reach to the next level. And when you do reach there, you see life unfulfilled again. You find yourself still waiting for life!
So with all this, I’m almost done playing Dan Brown with all the twists in the tales here.
For all of you who invested time reading this…appreciate your patience ;-)
