Another Day

It is not too hot today and it's also a Friday. Last working day of the week.
Feeling happy, humming to myself. 5 months in this city and still a stranger.......How many places have I been to in 2 years of work experience??Silchar, Kolkata, Dhanbad, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Vijaywada, Chennai, Pune..and how many times have i been to home-twice.......Small ironies of life.....
What would I do tommorow.......What have I been doing in these 2 years....
Some times life seems more cryptic and complicated than a crossword puzzle.
Pains, misery, failures, illness, dejection, love, hatred, betrayal, happiness, success-have i seen it all?? Maybe Yes.On retrospect there was so much I could have done to avoid failures and miseries. There was so much I could have achieved had I not wasted my time in pointless self pity. Every experience is a learning. And every learning has a price tag.Is life fair?? This discussion often comes up amongst friends during post dinner conversations. How can it ever be..... some one had to lose so that someone else can win.......this is a neverending vicious circle, you have to wait for your turn.
The greatest irony of life is perhaps the fact that we do not have any control on things which effect us most.So while we can celebrate birthdays, we do not have any idea about when the final hour would come or how it would come........and while we appreciate good looks , we do not have any control on the way we look, and while it is important to make it to IIT, and yet we do not have any control on our grey cells-we are born with them and have to live with them and utilise them to whatever extent possible.
Maybe I am too sceptical and caustic...but it doesn't hurt to do a reality check.
