Being me.....

All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players"
How true is this! In life we live a lot of moments, we cross a lot of people;friends, family, relatives, acquiantances. We speak, we speak our heart out, sometimes we listen, listen intently. We hear about some incidents in their lives, we share our relationships.
Sooner then later, we realize how true is the fact that the whole world is just a stage play. There are chapters in this play. Sometimes some people are on for some scenes and move on to a different play. While some stay, they keep coming and going.
Maybe its not many plays, maybe its just one big play, and every person is seeing the play from their point of view.
We could call it a Movie instead, but that doesnt make sense as movies have retakes,change in scenes, scene deletion,sometime even cast change. While a play is real life, live it,live it till the end.
One would wish life is like a circle, if it can start where it all ended. On the retrospect it does :). Life never ends, When one door closes the other opens. Maybe in this round of the circle you meet different set of people but you still get to live life the way you want.
"All the world's a stage,And all the men and women are Actors", Actors who have the license to act. Ability to cry,laugh, make others laugh,sometime make other cry. Act as if they are happy, act as if they are sad, act as if they are acting.
When I realized this, I feel a deep sense of power within me. I realize that life is totally under my control. My happiness, my sorrow, my goals, my hopes n wishes. Its all contained within me. I have the power to write scripts for all new scene. Correct all the mistakes in past scripts. Redefine my life as I go. I decide whom I am going to act with, I decide who has to leave, and who has to stay always. I choose to expect more, and Its me who decides to compromize. I decide to shout aloud and I choose to stay calm. I LIVE MY LIFE THE WAY I WANT as the Stage is mine and all others are MERE players.

Life: is it Compromise???



The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost


I dont know what led me to post this poem in my blog.. But when i first read it somewhere i was truly inspired as "It is about finding yourself and choosing what is best for you." Through our journey we need to choose the path we want to go through. most of the time we choose the easiest path because we are afraid of taking risks.. but life is about taking risks... that's why we have to choose the trail where we will be most fulfilled even though it may be hard for us...

The Beginning...

All good things need a beginning. I could start this blog with a disclaimer. I can start it with a statutory warning. But I think I will just leave it the way it has been started. I generally contend my self with just reading other people's blogs and sometimes making comments. I had never really considered having a blog of my own. But a friend of mine managed to convince me to start writing one. So here I am.
