Last Sunday when I woke up, everything was usual except some iterations
doing rounds in my inquisitive mind. All of a sudden, I could see myself
entangled in web of innumerable questions. On first instance I could not figure
out what sort of questions I was part of, reasons why they have stroke.
On other side, tinkering voice in ears had a clear indication
that it was raining. Not every often, A Summer Sunday comes with rain. Ideally I
could have avoided those questions and enjoyed the day in its simplest sense.
Not every often you find yourself stuck in web like thing. Although,
I wanted to run away from these questions, but when You are fond of going into
mechanics of Life especially when you are sort of writer, You can never avoid
it.
I quickly started searching for Place of Peace. Yeah seeking
a peaceful place today is toughest thing and searching for it is even more
stupid. A quick mind Google took me towards Terrace. Terrace always attracted
me since beginning. Then if it is a rooftop of my Grandma’s home at Ajmer or it
is Top floor of my hostel at Indore or it is Terrace of our apartment at Noida.
Well those questions have nothing to do with this Blog. The
intriguing thought is this Irony –
We don’t let any stone unturned in quest to run after
unstoppable time, to match with fast-paced world, to meet our unending demands,
to fulfill our material desires. But we always try to run away from ourselves.
Yeah it may sound strange but true. The reason may be to avoid intriguing
questions in life, to defer problems in life, to leave the life on destiny.
Some feel it safe to remain simple. But whether running from Life, its
complications, questions will sort your life or rather make it more complex and
directionless. There is no point to run away from problems, the more you defer the more it will follow You. Face it , accept it and find solutions. It’s funny that everyone wants to seek peace but without seeking
answers for their own life.
Here ‘not running away from problems’ doesn't mean to stick to your failure or problems and making untiring efforts. I am emphasising on analysing it instead of avoiding it and even there is no qualms in quitting because only then you can see and explore all together new set of opportunities and options.

You can't always plan things as per priorities sometimes it’s
your flow of mind which travels exactly in opposite direction. Sometimes you
have to just sit and think about your life where it is heading, whether it is
really taking you towards yours dreams or just only towards realities.
You must be thinking What happened on Terrace? Well, nothing
special except that I supposedly had answers to my questions, I became richer
by my thoughts, I became more geared up to achieve my dreams, I had been more
discipline to make this life engaging and many more.
Spending time with yourself may sound silly and crazy but it
will sort your life and give you immense peace. We should accept the realities
and pursue towards our dreams.
Would like end with my favourite lines from ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobbara’
Quote
‘दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ लेके चल रहे हो तो जिंदा हो तुम
नज़र में ख़्वाबों की बिजलियाँ लेके चल रहे हो तो जिंदा हो तुम
हवा के झोंकों के जैसे आजाद रहना सीखो
नज़र में ख़्वाबों की बिजलियाँ लेके चल रहे हो तो जिंदा हो तुम
हवा के झोंकों के जैसे आजाद रहना सीखो
तुम एक दरिया के जैसे लहरों में बहना सीखो
हर एक लम्हे से तुम मिलो खोले अपनी बाहें
हर एक लम्हे से तुम मिलो खोले अपनी बाहें
हर एक पल इक नया समां
देखें यह निगाहें
जो अपनी आँखों में हैरानियाँ लेके चल रहे हो तो जिंदा हो तुम
दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ लेके चल रहे हो तो जिंदा हो तुम’
जो अपनी आँखों में हैरानियाँ लेके चल रहे हो तो जिंदा हो तुम
दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ लेके चल रहे हो तो जिंदा हो तुम’
