Dawn Of Realisation

A peacefully rocking cradle as it may seem , life is more of a never-ending roller-coaster ride . Back in May 2011 , when the world had suddenly shown its brighter side to me ,thanks to the JEE results , I had a similar misconception . Things grew clearer as the clock ticked. Somewhere in our subconsious ,all of us are aware of the fact that in one's dark times , even their own shadow wouldnt follow them . But when things take real shape and form , realities look grim. We are initially shocked at the fact that our identities are determined by some seemingly arbitrary grading system or the same monstrous being in any other form known to homo sapiens. But later when the mysterious cloud parts away , and we grow aware of the ingenious approaches of mankind towards life , we are left with no other choice than to follow the herd. 

Quite unfortunately , India seems to be the hub of such misconceptions . We Indians , the youth to be specific , are the worst sufferers . Amidst  the hullabaloo of competition and defeat , we often overlook what we actually wish to perceive . Our actual pursuit of Happiness . 

I, however , on personal grounds , feel that there's always a niche in everyone's life that they long to accomplish ( ^^having experienced it personally) . Their childhood dream , yet  unaccomplished. For instance , ever since I was an 8th grader , there has been this fictional character, I have been longing to pen down . It has been all the way , in my mind , in my passwords ;-)   , everywhere .  But , probably lack of exclusive writing experience , sort of pulled me back ,  and then came JEE , which made me scrap the idea out of my mind in one go. Nonetheless, I still had patience to preserve it for near future. Yet , things didnt quite go the way I wished they would and the idea still remains on clouds , waiting to be penned down. 

 The bottom line remains the same . Most of us follow the wind , and reach where the crowded path leads , which means most of us are adept at pretty much the same stuff , which is quite unlikely , says the probabilistic logic .

Its a funny thing about life , that if you refuse to accept anything but the best , you very often get it ;-) (best meaning the most apt here ) . Afterall , as Dumbledore says ,"It is our choices...that show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities".

I dont believe in taking right decisions , I take decisions and then make them right .
