On determination

  “Of all the words of pen and tongue, the saddest are those, if only I had”

Some phrases hold a lot of meaning, particularly in your own life. Even if you do not heed to it in the first instance, it lingers somewhere in your subconscious mind and surfaces when an adversity strikes. So is the case with the above lines. I lament over the simple things I could have done to avert the catastrophes that have come my way.

The need to be determined and consistent was never as clear to me as today. Today, I suffer the impact of someone else’s lack of determination and inconsistency. It has forced me into pondering about my own determination and consistency. And I see myself mourning – ‘If only I had’. His lack of determination and inconsistency has shattered my life and dreams. But I ‘am now determined to try to achieve all my dreams that I had once procrastinated or buried due to my lack of determination and inconsistency.

I wished to write; now I will

I wished to go places; now I will

I wished to follow my heart; now I will

Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ub
Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kub

Apart from mugging up this couplet to be reproduced for exams, its essence never seeped into me.  It is a late start I know, but it is a start after all. I shall languish no more. It is time…..Carpe diem!!!!!!!!
