Do saalon se

It's been a while since I sat down and wrote something.. It's been a roller coaster over the last coupla years.. A few downs and lotsa ups.. Getting married and having a kid were great life events that happened.. I've reached a juncture in life where your playlist has been the same for a long time life has come to a sort of a monotony..

Though there are no complaints about how things are going but then a smooth sailing ship is no fun.. Especially for a Sagittarian like me.. Though the travel has been there pretty much but the frequency has reduced.. This is the time of my life where are all my friends are married and settled with good jobs but no time for each other.. Phase of life where you sit and yearn about the good old days.. Probably when I see some college kids having fun I would be like what are these kids doing at their age we had way more fun..

I happened to visit a coffee shop recently and found kids from school having coffee and smoking.. Though I have probably seen kids smoking before couple of my friends did back when we were young it was more of an innocent attempt to look like grown up adults, probably pretending to be Rajanikanth.. But this gives me a perspective of growing up at a much younger age.. I wonder how and what my son would do while he grows up..

Normally I'm a social person so a weekly party or a dinner would definitely happen.. Though the number of movies have drastically reduced the reason being the quality of movies being so horrid in the past few years.. It astonishes me at the amount of junk they reel out and yet people pay money to watch it and I would be sitting and pondering when I was young they made much better movies which is certainly often debate with my wife.. Being a movie buff I just cannot watch a below par movie and there have been instances where I have walked out of the theater 15 mins into the movie..

Movies apart my time of reading books has completely been snatched away from me, though I have read the odd books while traveling but the actual number has astonishingly dropped.. Same with the gaming time.. I've gotten fitter though shedding quite a bit of weight since the knee surgery.. So where is all the time going?? Is it that I'm working too much or that I'm not planning my time properly??

Well at this point in time I'm not sure what the answer to that is.. Time is a very relative term and seems to be either fast or slow depending on how good or bad your experiences are through it.. Time has been quite cruel to me as I was growing up but those instances and circumstances are what made me what I am today.. But those hard times went real slow it's been a decade of hardships and hard work and I've grown as a man from that puny kid who didn't know where his life was going.. I had to take the reigns of the horse at a very young age

I write this post watching Lord of the rings the return of the two kings as Denethor, the Steward of Gondor residing in its capital Minas Tirith, bids Pippin to sing for him while he eats. At the same time, Denethor's son Faramir attempts to retake the city of Osgiliath which has been occupied by Orcs, as requested by his father. The mission is a futile one. Pippin sings while Faramir and his horsemen are riding in slow motion to be massacred by the Orcs. As the song ends, Pippin begins to cry softly, as he realizes that Faramir most likely died in vain to try to prove to his father that he was like his slain older brother Boromir, whom Denethor loved greatly. 

This movie and particularly the song puts things into perspective for a person who will be turning 30 later this year. 

Home is behind
The world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow
To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight

Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall fade 

All shall fade indeed sooner or later, I don't feel old I'm probably at the prime of my life but looking ahead for the sunset or waiting for the sunrise is the dilemma I'm facing which seems to be a big deal right now.. 

So what is this post about?? To that I've the answer. Absolutely nothing is the answer. When someone asks me how I am I say ALL IS WELL.. I'm keeping Amma and Appa happy, have a great friend for a wife and a lovely son to die for so what else does someone need to be happy?? Money?? Power??

I would say good people.. The times I've been through the best and most valuable things I've earned is relationships and people.. I've met many people in this short life of mine many have come many have gone, some have come for their own selfish motives, some for nothing, but what matters the most is the best have stayed to that dear god I'm thankful.. One thing that I've learnt in life is help anyone and everyone sometimes it has caused me a great deal of misery but I've never backed down from helping anyone..

So basically when I started this post I didn't think I would write some much about randomness.. But I've managed to write quite a bit.. So if you are still reading this without dozing off then kudos to you, you're truly great.. :) So is that all life is start to the end a mere journey?? No it isn't so make friends, make mistakes, make moments, make time count while it lasts.

“End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.”- J.R.R. Tolkien
