Does life love U-turns?

Why is it that dying to live and living to die are so much the same yet so different?

Why is it that pain is always accompanied by joy, though they may be experienced by souls afar?

Why is it that life seems to take a U-turn just when it seems to be moving forward?

The ephemeral sands of time always seem to slip ever faster, when the grip is tighter. A success is meant to be followed with a failure. Happiness is meant to be followed by pain.

A look from the other side of the glass is certainly more blissful.

Pain being followed by happiness, failure being followed by success and a faster paced life being a lot more enjoyable.

But how long can one survive the insanity of being brought back to where one started. Or do the twists and turns make one so delirious, to miss the panoramic view that follows alongside the long and winding road of life?

Every cloud has a silver lining they say. But why doesn't every u-turn lead you forward? Or does it? Is the step that seemingly takes one back, actually a step forward? Or what seems to be going forward actually taking away the truth of life?

Could life be bribed to be the way it is wanted to be? Or has the deal been struck, oblivious to the eye?

Can death be better than life? Or is living a way of the dead?

Is life the option or is it death?

Imagine:

You board a bus to head to a destination far off. Midway, the bus takes a U-turn. What do you do? Sit and hope that the U-turn is a part of the journey? Get off the bus, immediately 'cause you are sure to end up where you began? Or just focus elsewhere, a direction which you may or may not ever take?


Thinking hard is not an option, but hard thinking is and hardly thinking even more so.

Karle karle tu ek sawaal, aisa sawaal joh zindagi badal de……

Main itne sawaal toh roz puchta hun, meri zindagi mein badlaav kab aayega?? ;)

wow...the quintessential questioning :)

the point with life is that you can never tell when falling backward is actually stepping forward...can never tell how one misfortune could lead you to your best days.

it's all about the ups and downs, just that we tend to focus more on the downs...hope you don't fall into the same rut.

p.s: welcome to blogdom!!!

kya baat hai.. blogging shogging.. wah wah.. that too questioning westioning.. wah wah.. that too about life shife.. wah wah.. macha di puchad !!

waise toh mujhe zyaada tar philosolhy samajh nahi aati.. but I got my own version of it all.. in life there are no backward steps, only experiences and experiences are never good or bad, they are just experiences so if life takes you on a U turn, don't get off the bus.. you never know what experience it ll bring next.. maybe a chance to enjoy the scenery that you were worrying you missed last time .. watsay ?

@Navneet: Misfortune would not be one if it wud lead u onto ur best days!! ;)
Ups and downs define us!! The better one focuses on the road to be taken, the better one sees the view!
So my dear frnd thnx for the gracious welcome and I assure you tat I luv the downs, coz the ups are then even more thrilling!! :)

@vsp: Pls refrain frm using personal data on the blog!! :P
And waise mujhe bhi zyaada philosophy toh nahi aati, but jab senti hota hun toh bas..... ;)
I totally agree wid ur funda of experiences being neither gud nor bad, but they certainly have their lessons. So one must make the most of every experience.

But.....
If u cm bak to njoy the same scenery u had missd the last time, doesnt it imply tat u dint learn much frm the experience and really ended up at a U turn???? ;) :P

Thnx for spending time to read my crap! :D

Ur life will change if u stop thinking and do something.

Socha kam kar..
Kaam zyada

And keep some time for urself and please....
STOP DOING MEANINGLESS THINGS...

Kabhi kuch karna chata hai, kabhi kuch

sabko confuse karta rehta hai..
kudh bhi effort karta rehta hai...
