FAST LANE….!

-

 

We were all supposed to pass the slow drivers…the slow ones…..Not join them !

Here goes ….!

The lane tread often….The Fast Lane…..and we all like it here ….don’t we ?


But being in the fast lane ..the highway , or life …comes with hazards…..yeah….we could jeopardize somebody if we move slowly on a fast lane…Keep on hitting our souls , keeping on tripping on our own mindsets and our own personalities…!

We have improvised a many , in our lifetimes…..and hey…we have done , what we could do best..!


I have always believed that I have everything under control….but no ! We actually do not have anything under our controls….We live our lives so fast , that it’s impossible to have everything under control !....right ?

It’s human nature…you know…..a feeling …a want …that we want to achieve..ummmm…wanting to achieve in the fast lane ..!  But in this fast paced world…it also becomes important to slow down sometimes…!

Am I contradicting…?......no , you bet !


The old days were good enough…..we could actually concentrate on our works…We were isolated from the fast lanes and gadgets……Then came competition and then came the fast lane…hahahaha..

When we’re engaged in what we love to do , it’s like driving in the fast lane ……Time flies by and more roads open up to us ….some routes we may not have even known , existed….!


I didn’t worry about leaving the fast lane ….It was just that I was consumed with all the competition and that it seemed like the right thing to do ! ….a pressure build up… Agree ?

We were young and we lived in the fast lane …Excited and daring…! Yeah….we were all like this….gradually the lane changed and we started focusing in on what we do best !...hai na ?

Being in the other lane does not mean that we are not progressing as fast as the guys on the fast lane ….we’ve been there ….done that !  you know …..Guess , we’ve found our niche…..


It’s like when we stay in our lanes , we learn to feel good about ourselves….and ….we no longer bring  as much as judgement and negativity into our relationships ….

Staying in my own lane also means minding my own business….that’s the other way to put it..though ..hahahaha.


We allow love and trust to consume this relation..and I guess….we eventually feel better around people and people will feel better about being with us !

I know we are sick and tired of being average !..and ..guess , sick of falling short of our potentials…!


We’ve come to the right place then !


We have to stop …..stop and look around friends….ummmm…once in a  while…Life moves pretty fast …right ?.....we could miss it ..!

Fast lane or slow lane ….I have to trust myself…I have to keep reminding myself where I am and wherever I am , I have to make it possible for me to be all there …myself !


“Nobody’s going to win all the time . On the highway of life you can’t always be in the fast lane “

-Haruki Murakami

"The Writer's Block"

-
  A   friend recently took me aside and made a point. He was not worried about how I would react. I was nervous too. Of what he would say to me.. Then he made a point …… He asked me to continue writing . He asked me why I had stopped publishing what I used to do before. People out there are looking forward to what I write….Now he wanted me to get going and write… This has prompted me to write and publish again what I lost and missed…. To hell with the ‘Writer’s Block’. When I listened to him that day, I understood that Writer’s Block was not the problem.. The problem laid in ‘not writing anything at all’ ! What I understand is that the only people who think writing is easy are those people who don’t write at all !   No ? The ‘writers block ‘ is not the problem here. It is the fear of not writing well. I am not here for an award or an accolade, I am here because I write and somehow I stopped in between. My audiences here today, may seem a little surprised……but that’s...

The Heart story

-
  Everybody knows now ….. today , it’s an old story..!.. But concerned people still ask me how I feel and how I am faring with my health …….. I’ve been deliberately taking some time   out here…..you know ?.....giving me some space….. giving myself , that much needed ‘ME ‘ time…. I exercised right ….I ate right ….no cheating foods in between hours….my colleagues at office can vouch for me….no oil , no much sweet , no much sour or hot things…. Then why did I get that stroke , when I got one ? You know , I’ve read it somewhere …… that having an Heart Attack is like a surprise party… where , except for presents , you get an ambulance ride ….! Hahahahaha.. I guess , my heart couldn’t handle all the excitement in my life ….ummmm….too many of them ……It was time to switch to a boring routine……..! It had me boggled over and over again…..Why me ? Why ….after all these years ……….I smoked ….all right ! But then last time I checked ( you know where )   …..….my lungs were clear a...

Other Words !

  After some good days ….more news from the planet ! The red hot Sun is turning into dark red and thus spoiling the get-togethers we usually have from 10:00 Am to 7:00 PM……no ? Is it out of context ?…..Yeah….I know ….this is not me……how do I convert myself from a boring article writer to what’s happening at the core of our planet ?    Not me ! Boring ….yeah….getting older , day by day ..ummm….actually I don’t mind getting older ….you know !...but my body is taking it badly….hahahahahaha….! You feel like your warranty has expired and the parts are beginning to wear out ! I was reading a story on Jesse Owens and how he defeated the German athlete Luz Long at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. Hitler was mad at Long , but he bowed down to Jesse and congratulated him in full view of the crowd. Luz Long and Jesse became best friends and when WW2 started , Long wrote a letter to Jesse from the war front. He wrote “ ( paraphrased by me ) I want to meet my wife. I have not seen my...
