As I sat on the early morning shoreline of Lake Michigan a sense of calm and composure started dawning on me .I was feeling that joy ,one doesn't feel often in this fast paced life .I was enjoying doing nothing and feeling the cool breeze and watching lazily the mist emanating from the water . The setting was there ,the time was there and a very beautiful song started playing on my IPOD and the next moment I found myself humming the tune of Gulzar's super hit song "Tujhe Naraz Nahi Jindagi ,Hairan Hoon Main...Tere Masoom Sawalon Se Pareshan Hoon Main !!"
I started thinking the context of the song and how it applies to our life .I asked myself do we really need to be angry or perplexed with our life? Are we the chosen ones to face all the trauma that world has to offer ? Are we all alone left with no support in this so called cruel world ?
Sometimes we feel totally isolated and excluded from the world .We look around for solace but find nothing but a vacuum and perpetual darkness in return .
And then suddenly from somewhere there's a flash and in that momentary brightness we come face to face with the truth that ,External factors provide temporary solace .We need to go back to the roots .We have to look inside . We need to love and respect ourself .At every level and every strata there is a problem of varying complexities .We have the free will to choose and no one can deny that to us .We need to be the source of light rather than a gloomy blackhole .And then we can sing "Ae Jindagi Gale lagale....Humne bhi tere har ek gham ko gale se lagaya hain ...hain na ? "
Hmm ...I Guess its time for me to go back to my camp(tent) again ...otherwise Jindagi ka to pata nahi ...my friends will definitely be angry with me for being so late from the morning trail :D
