Destiny!!

Are our lives determined by destiny?

Or is destiny governed by life’s meandering ways?


When one wakes up with a splitting headache, after a complete night’s sleep, is it destiny at work or will destiny be the result?


Walking on the beaches of time, a look back either makes one smile or a tear rolls down the cheek.

Was the look back destiny?

Was the smile or the tear destiny?

Was the past itself the much wanted destiny?


Destiny……… what are you? Where are you? When are you? How are you? Why are you so elusive?


Destiny isn’t in missing your bus. But it certainly is the choice between cribbing or walking all the way or waiting for another bus.


Destiny isn’t in realizing you love someone. But it certainly is the choice between letting the other person know or despising yourself or just giving up.


For once, let me conclude. ;)


Destiny is what one knew of the future when seen in the past. It is neither made by our actions nor is it written a priori. It is merely an observer. Just the same as the common man in R. K. Laxman’s cartoons.


Make what you can of your life, destiny shall follow!!

destiny lies neither in the reminiscence nor in the feeling that it evokes...destiny lies in the present and the future with each passing moment influencing what shall happen next.

it's foolish to worry about destiny, but maybe even the worrying shall influence one's destiny.

dude...where have you been all these years?? or is it the rigmarole of iit that is getting you to write all this...whichever way it is...do keep writing.
