CONSTANTS

       Tired and exhausted after a hectic day of school, we went in search for solace.Walking across the deserted parks and the jungle trees, meandering about our future endeavours and feeling extremely invincible. Sharing views, we marched without any navigation. Curious where this blooming path takes us. We took the road not taken and I must tell you we were indeed rewarded.

We had found our solace, our new adobe for simply everything. I still have a fresh and fragrant memory of that day.Rambling with our thoughts we arrived at this gorgeous circular ground. On one side lay the usual half cut granite park benches overshadowed by the enormous trees. The soft garden grass had bordered the ground leaving it bare in the middle. The weather was heavenly, the cool breeze blowing by giving goosebumps and a shiver up my spine. The sky was of this soothing ans warm blue. The hawks soaring in the sky, the dragon flies, kids playing cricket all of it just got to me. I for once could truly connected with everything around me. We were at first astonished by her beauty, but gradually became a part of her. We thumped our bags on the bench and ran around the ground like nothing else mattered, taking in the absolute purity of the place , unaware that this place would soon become our peace abode.And I swear in that moment i felt infinite. I could feel this bag of hope,power, faith and happiness unravelling within me. I felt so grateful and thankful for everything around me.Life just got brighter by a couple of shades.We played around for a while, clicking pictures to preserve these brilliant moments for ever. Then it rained, the divine drops elegantly falling on our faces. Experiencing this wonderful thing strengthened our bond.A magical beginning to our glory days. But again some things are inevitable.what has come together has to fall apart. At least this is how the universe works. Time had come for us to choose our paths and move on but this hadn't changed the relationship we shared. Because they are my constants, my forever and always.Some bonds just defy time, logic and distance. They are just meant to be...

I.D.E.N.T.I.T.Y

         I.D.E.N.T.I.T.Y

    " So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things and we can try to feel okay about them." 

    So true  right?! Yes, we are who we are. I am who I am and nothing can change that. A lot of factors contributes to who you are, be it biological  or environmental factors. Nurture or Nature. You simply cant erase all of that,it is a part of you and always will be. We might at times be ashamed   of who we are or feel happy about ourselves. But this doesn't matter after all. Right now, at this moment I am a successful person not only because I was brought up and taught this way but because I made the choice, I chose the path and used my power wisely and attained success, this is how it works. 

    We make choices and take decisions in every single moment of our lives. This process happens constantly whether you are aware of it or not. Be it the colour of your dress or the combination for your future studies. What we do is that, we choose the option which seems more feasible and appealing to us at that moment. They say, your destiny is in your hands so shape it wisely!  Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for be, but to be achieved. So it is the decisions and choices we make shape us into who we are. 

     All those reasons , which make us who we are should not affect our decision making. You have the power to define yourself , don't let anybody else sabotage that power. These reasons are  a huge set of  excuses that man uses as an tool to escapism. You can keep going on about how you ended up here in this world because of this..... I wouldn't be here right now if my parents hadn't met. I think about that kind of stuff most of the time and trust me the list it endless. Then I just stop after a point of time when I just feel glad that I am here today and wrap it up by  appreciating the serendipity ness of the whole thing. The whole concept of who I am , fascinates me so much. Have you ever ruminated over stuff like that?   

     Who you are and what we have evolved into being are two different things. Choose wisely, you have the power with you to direct and shape yourself into a marvellous sculpture and what you were doesn't matter. So, keep going  and participate in life, do things that you love to do and seek happiness in them.
