Identity Crisis!

The following are the lines from Madhushala


मदिरालय जाने को घर से चलता है पीनेवला,
'किस पथ से जाऊँ?' असमंजस में है वह भोलाभाला,
अलग-अलग पथ बतलाते सब पर मैं यह बतलाता हूँ
-'राह पकड़ तू एक चला चल, पा जाएगा मधुशाला।'।


How meaningful! I was simply mesmerised by the beauty of these lines.No wonder I am a poet myself.
It justifies the importance of independence and personal freedom and pursuing your dreams.

Life is all about finding your love and the rest will follow.

Sometimes I sit back and question myself "Who Am I ? " and more profoundly, " Who will I be in ten years from now " , only to realize that I am rendered speechless.

I did my graduation from a reputed institute, got a job that pays handsome amount of money , and then basking in this materialistic self satisfaction, I became over contended with myself and started celebrating the person I am. I stopped, stooped and when I woke up I realised that all this while I was wasting away my life.

I sit back and remember my mother, for it was to her, that "My competition was her competition ",and this is precisely why I grew on to become what I am,overcompetitive.But I guess in a sense that is very desirable part of the picture.

I was always into books, I keep reading the unconventional books.So there was this book I was reading, "what should I do with my life" , it sounded as though it was a mantra, which could spoon feed me, giving me precise objectives and ways to go about them.There was this line , that I am tempted to quote here. "It would be so great if one morning when you woke up, you found this letter, which told you what should you do with your life".

This same day I sat back for more than an hour with a piece of paper,(by the way, I write a lot too! ), to pen down what had I achieved these 23 odd years.
And trust me, I could not come out with anything that I could call as "My Own", something that would make my parents proud of me.

I had everything , I was ambitious,creative, intellgent and never shunned learning in its own right.No wonder righty is it said,"If you see no one in yourself, you will be no one for the rest of your life"

I was open to new ideas, always looking at new opportunities in the "Me Vs Myself",Only that it wasn't as fruitful as could have been.I have always been looking out for that "Message", which I think could tell me what should I do to myself.
If you look at all thes ucessful men and women around yourself , you will realize there's only one thing that takes them where they are.."Intelligence and devotion towards pursuing your dreams "

I realised that when you want to "Become Somebody" , you actually do not become "Anybody" , for one should know "Precisely" what one wants from life.

If you see nobody in yourself, you will be nobody for the rest of your life..

Take a call as to what you intend your life to be.And keep working towards it.

"Being a star may not be your goal, but being the best you can be is a goal you can set for yourself."


"Stay hungry ,Stay foolish"
