As I shifted to the new place which is supposed to serve as my abode for the next few months, I carefully took a mental note of the address it was at. But nevertheless, when I was returning the next day, I got lost at a crossroad, whether to take a left there or to keep going straight. Then did I realise the answer to a question that was chewing away my grey mater as though it was gum, that when the roads have been landmarked with boards and we still wonder which way to go at a crossroad, whats the big deal if we get confused which path to take when we get stuck at life's crossroads?
Crossroads are an imaginary-yet-no-so-imaginary place in life where almost every twenty-something guy or girl gets lost at some point of time.You may get tired weighing the pros and cons, but you may still not decide which path to take. Exhausted and worn out, mentally and physically; in need of antidepressants; what the hell, and what not? You may say a thousand things to describe that phase, but the summary is just the same. You may feel that your life is going through a grey phase, but that's okay. Grey is not a color to stay forever. It shall soon fade and sunshine shall set in, sooner or later.
Dilemmas are bound to happen and life is bound to appear twisted. You may wish you had never grown up, but you can't avoid the inevitable. Decisions are to be made and many a times, they are definitely hard to make. Maybe your kith and kin wouldn't approve of your decision. But that's still not a problem. They are afterall, the convincable lot.Once you get them to trust your decision, they are gonna stay by you, come what may. Your companions may not go with you.Yet that's not something you can do anything about. Sort your own life first. Everything shall fall into place by itself after that. You may even take the wrong path. Don't panic. There are U-turns in life's paths too. Just make sure you turn around before you run out of fuel.It's always better late than never.
Destiny never gives anybody a blueprint of his future. We just assume destiny's moves and play along. But one thing almost always happens. Your best plans may get peppered with flaws. You may have to replan, and replan again. And you no option than being ready for the same. Even though it seems like you're the only one to whom life is so unfair, even though you wish you never had options to choose from, chill. That cool dude sitting next to you or that lass in high heels walking in front of you would have gone through the same thing too. It's just that you weren't an audience to their display of confusions.Now that its your turn, you can't sit idle.Take calculated risks, trust your instincts, be weirdly confident, and take your first step. Have patience and let time do the rest. And the dots shall surely connect.
Now if you wanna totally take the thought off your head for a while and go carefree, or if this thingy doesn't apply to you, that's great! What are you waiting for? This is a city where places like The Skyye Lounge exist. Hire a cab to 560001, and PARTY THE NIGHT AWAY!! ;)
