The Strange thing called... Life!


Its strange… yet so very interesting!

We come into this world alone and we leave this world alone. The journey in between this arrival and departure is known as life.

There are so many people who travel along with us.


Its just like the train, from its starting destination to its ending destination, it stops at various stations; different sets of people arrive and depart at every station.

Life too, has various stations just like a train. When it reaches to a certain point, the people who were with us depart and the new sets of people enter our lives.

Some of them travel along with us for a long time and some of them come and go away in no time. I did observe that a person comes into our life with a particular purpose or reason. It maybe anything and it is THAT reason by which they are attached. Once the purpose is over, they bid farewell and leave.

Secondly, life is confusing! There are times when people try to avoid each other and once they are away from each other, they miss them like anything.

People who come into our life can be parents, siblings, relatives, friends, teachers, strangers and many more. Each and every category of person travels with us upto a particular distance in the journey of life.

Thirdly, it is strange due to one more reason. When we are small, we crave to grow up and when we have grown up we wish we could have never grown up! Moreover, though the life is ours, we are never able to live it as we want it to!

Last but not the least; life does not give us all that we wish to have. The wish that, the people who have already got off the train of life, come back again is never fulfilled.

There is a new set of people waiting for us at the next station of life, which too would get off at some point and this would continue till the day we reach the final destination of Life!

Indeed...Life IS strange! :-)

i would say life is like a stroll through a badly maintained park.

we come across different flower plants, mud etc. reflecting the different kinds of ppl we meet.

and we may move on after some time...but some of the fragrance/ bad smell we carry along ..what i would call experiences! :)

so every person leaves a little learning or experience, so to say, with us!

In the end we are but the sum of those experiences.

I know this falls into a much greater debate of whether a man is what his nature is or society shapes him.

anyways...

pretty nice thoughts...got me thinking about "life".

Life sometimes seems strange but its beautiful. There are so many things to learn and all the people we meet help us in our learning process. Everybody and everyone somhow is there to teach us something.
I remeber a famous quote by Einstein in this context:

"Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving."

Prashant getting philosophical and a bit frustrated.

Ture, people come and go but few friends stay forever, at least in one's heart!

When we can't meet people who left the train, we cherish the moments shared together.

liked the comparison with train-
different stations being home,school,college etc...

and then the line-
"we are never able to live it as we wish",
I think its in our own hands......
what we make of our life,
what we love more,how we care for those we love,
its our wish:)
