of roads, bridges and uncertainities

I often like to believe that il'l cross the bridge when i get there!!
but sometimes i worry myself out thinking what if i reach the edge only to find out that i cant turn back and there is no bridge ahead...

in hindsight, thats what makes life complicated--the what if's which are soo difficult to ignore...

the questions which do not have any answers...

the boulders along the road which cause me to stumble and squeeze the joy outta the journey making me ponder on where i am actually heading...

the small voice in my mind which constantly searches for logic in my emotions brutally rendering them senseless when it does not find any...

the strange deafening silence which pushes me into an abyss of time and space one moment and in the very next moment, breaks its self managing to pull me out and hold me close...


At times i wish the watch could stop and time could stand still for eternity---because somewhere i know that i can never be prepared enough for what is to come..
and yet somewhere, the uncertainity of the bridge makes me aware that i will have to learn to swim before i reach the edge...
such is life!! :)

  1. Hi Pri,

    In response to this, I'll just repeat the tagline in my blog

    "Do not wait for life. Do not long for it. Be aware and at ever moment that the miracle is in the here and now"

    Try and live the moment :)

  4. When you come to the edge of all things that you know,you must believe in one of two things:There will earth on which to stand or you will be given wings to fly :)

  6. i dont understand whats happening inside your head.. your words depict some form of sadness. but there is something more than words running in your head...

    hope things fall in place soon

  10. Therz no easy way to say when its too fast or when its too late..to take note and act!Experience, instinct, luck, influence, reasoning and several other factors contribute to this decision-making process.

  14. Do people, especially docs who're in a place that holidays 365 days a year, really think like this? Amazing... :-)

    Kidding. On a slightly serious note - chill!

  18. @ distantcords
    thankyou...i do understand what ur trying to say..
    'IF'---the word which can make us dream, laugh, hope, cry and at times even sigh at the irony of its existence :)

    @ aarti
    thats so true aartu..and i know i can count on u guys to remind me when i forget.
    i know that ppl who love me will be there with me forever and if they arnt that just means they just dont have time/space for me in their lives :)

    @ aiz aka dreamscapes
    hmm u reminded me of something i'd read a long time back---"that which doesnot kill u can only make u stronger" :)
    thanks dear
    take care!

    @ phatichar

  19. this was something. i mean u just wrote it like some movie dialog.
    awesome.
    u knw i too think this so many times. rather than being optimistic i start thinking logically and i see no good result. i dnt knw if being pessimistic is wrong or its just trying all the odd option which makes us more confident abt the situation tht mite come forward in any shape. i hope i make sense,.

  20. Life is difficult as you see, but its necessary to now tht even the road with boulders narrowing as you move is to let you realize how important each thing , each moment is and to live those moments to the totality.. not thinking what would happen next but to live today and have more strength to face the future..

if you think differently, go right ahead & express yourself..you might help me grow up in the process and i would be thankful.
if you think alike, you can ofcourse talk too..you might help me feel less alone in the crowd and i would be grateful.
Whatever you might think, i would love to know your reaction!!!
