Now.

"From now on , I'll connect the dots my own way!" ~ Calvin



Twenty and three years is a very confusing stage... believe you me! It's where you try and fill in most of the variables to give your equation a definitive value. So many of life's defining events to come. Those that'll decide what shape it takes.

I start with my first job very soon. Excited to say the least... dont know how long the excitement will last though! There's one variable down!

You've moved on with the flow till now. Taken some decisions on your own, let some be governed by others. Some have just come. Happenstance.


Now is different. Now is when you decide.

Now what you do, is what you get to pat (!!?) yourself on your back for the rest of ur life!!! Now is also when you want to let your self imposed cares go with the wind. Now is also when you want to take in everything and Enjoy every moment. Now is the defining moment.


Now is a connundrum , also an opportunity.

It can be overwhelming too.

Now is when you go and and connect the dots your own way!

Aptly summed up by the song I am listening to right now ....

"Tu Dhoop hai... chham se bikhar... tu hai nadi , oh bekhabar.... beh chal kahin, ud chal kahin.... dil khush jahan... teri toh manzil hai wahin!"

Very aptly written! Infact life now seems like a set of so many stray dots that one fears that some dots might be left unconnected.

School-College-PostGrad - there were milestones to be achieved, exams to be cleared, timelines were set! But no timelines now, no proving your worth thru exams.. you decide your own path, your own worth. Worthy, or unworthy :)

I have to concede that this is one of the most relevant posts I have read in recent time... Captures the whole spectrum of thoughts connected to our "rite of passage" quite succintly...
Thanks for forcing me to notice this new found power of decision making that I have got now.. Hope I will make the most of it.... And so will you..

Welcome to the corporate world... err, unofficially at least... that is, at least until you officially get in...

You will soon be earning the PRICE of drinking WATER in a new HOUSE along with the main supporting actor of a movie about a couple of teens who backpack across a group of nations who not very long back got a common currency... go figure!!

May the official confirmation come soon... :P

Kiran said...

And you meant "Coopers"

I should learn to simplify and not connect everything with someone I don't like at all :P
