Compunction

Why do we ponder on what could have been?

When we decided for ourselves and should’ve foreseen.

The ‘if onlys’ & ‘what ifs’ hoard the mind;

And instead of striding forward, we look behind.

We can no more walk back in time

Yet we cling on to the past, and pine.

Why be in a quandary and be contrite about bygone

Because what has happened cannot be rewound

Even if our choices were made in a haste,

We must stand by them and allow no disgrace.

Condoning the fallacious judgment, future one must procure

For what cannot be cured, must be endured..

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish!!

Accuse me if you please, of glutton n gauche;

Rebuke me if you like, for the lack of prudence in taking chance;
Tell me about my guardian angels which could forsake if I push too far,
For I shall keep craving for more, like a sponge I shall cadge.

There is a lot to learn that each day has brought,
Talk to strangers and contemplate their thoughts;
At least I am better than Einstein who had cut ‘two’ holes in the feline’s box,
Present make no sense, but it is a pleasure to be able to join the dots.

The world is a canvass that has colors vibrant as a flower,
I am the apian sucking nectar from it, to play my part.
I follow my will and do not balk to lark,
..to satiate this voracity n gloss this raunchiness, it is too much to ask!!

It’s about time!!

I admit that there have been changes. Actually transformations! I put it in plural as there have been many and in various aspects.
Those who have started knowing me now would not believe what I was like; and those who knew me from before are not able to digest what I have become.
There is not an iota of doubt that the past few months have been the most eventful ones. I learned, and I learned the hard way. I lost myself, only to rediscover the person I am. What made this journey so endearing? It is each and every moment I lived, each and every mistake I made, each and every crime I committed; all the gaiety interspersed with ennui-ty; the sinusoids of mood wavers. I cherish the past with as much passion as the zeal with which I look ahead now.
Now! Now is the time I have to start moving on. To take along the lessons I have learned and open up my mind for those which are yet to be learned. To tread the path from which I had strayed, to get back into that skin, which I had shed. As someone has recently told me, “it’s good to move on, but a sin to forget and move on...!!”
You can wish me Bon Voyage or Bon Retour! Suit yourself. :)
