Alone


Past few days were better with lesser chaos, inspiring me to discover more about self. (It is process of discovery – which looks never ending as off now; anyways..!) As most of you are aware, my will power is as strong as straw! My February post was delayed and missed the post of March.

However, life is rolling and I am going with the flow without much thoughts and deliberation. I am not completely sure if I will have to relook into it. If yes, how soon is the next question!

It again re-emphasizes what one of my close friends used to tell me that life is all about solving questions, finding answers to those questions which lead to further questions.

However, it still does not disprove the fact that above points encourages thinking at local level without considering the bigger picture. I would still stick to and want to break the shackles of considering micro situation and would favor to jump to macro view for resolutions which are more strategic in nature.

Recently, I came across a concept called ‘Personal Leadership Brand’ which is highly motivating. (I won’t get into details of it. In other words, will not bore you guys.) So rather than getting bugged by routine issues, let us rise up and consider bigger picture. I am tempted to quote what Michael Angelo said -

“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark."

Okay people, I won’t take this further. Enough of gas..!! Let us change gears and change the topic. Lately, I had many things to share. Many moments – some magical; some mystifying..! But I can categorize them as special. However, we can discuss them at stretch later.

Today morning, on way to work, I came across something very interesting in local daily, which I am too tempted to share.

Alone:

I take my wine jug out among the wood
To drink alone, without friends.
I raise my cup to entice the moon.
That, and my shadow, makes us three

(Khub jamega rang jab milenge teen yarr..! Laughs..!)

But the moon doesn’t drink
And my shadow silently follows.
I will travel with moon and shadow
Happy to the end of spring.
We share life’s joys when sober.
Drunk, each goes separate way.
Constant friends, although we wander,
We will meet again soon.


Pause..!

Dear Rafiki,

I am very happy that ALONE you are STRONG! (It reminds me of something.....)

but this concept of micro and macro always confusing me..many people are saying its always good to see the bigger picture.

But at the same time many great people are saying live life just for next five minutes and make sure that you will get best out of it!

Hope you will clear my confusion in your next post

Cheeeers to your jug of Wine
