Rendezvous with thyself!

When your life’s packed with loads of stuff (apart from those enlisted in the pending column of course) almost 24*7, you rarely obtain the time to even check out the very basic happenings around your life, viz. remembering the DOB’s of your best buddy comes under the job list of the reminder option of your cellphone coz the content inside your cranial vault is running short of memory…err.. or should I say the storage capacity of the ‘memory card’ has expired?.. well , whatever …and what if the phone runs out of battery in the hour of need?..the seemingly tech-savvy you, just tend to relate yourself to that ‘missed call alert’ by missing out the rare opportunity of being with your loved ones, which otherwise also, you have to carve out with great great efforts!
Seems like we ourselves have taken the responsibility of jumbling up our respective lives under the garb of so called ‘stressed-up situations’ and ‘hectic lifestyles’ ! We take proud in tagging ourselves as the ‘participant of rat-race’, as often the answer to many of our friends’ questions (read hearty requests) is again a question (accompanied by a convincingly fake smile), ie. “Where is the time boss? , will catch you later” or closer home, in our Mumbaiya ishtyle, the quote sounds much better (read more straight) – “Tere saath baad me baat karta hai, abhi apun ke dhandhe ka time khoti nahi karne ka kya”? …And why blame others when I myself don’t remember that when did I last take an evening stroll with my mom; or getting more techie, had replied to a friend’s SMS (other than the urgent ones of course, see how mean I can get?)…Things getting more and more pathetic, taking pity on me, one of my friends messaged me some really nice and adorable lines which read ‘Earlier we used to say “let’s meet and plan out something” and now we say “let’s plan to meet up someday” …how the perspectives of looking at life changes simultaneously with the process of growing up? …nobody complains as everyone has got that flip side to him/herself which draws a line somewhere that is supposed to keep the relationships alive.., but only through a certain distance (mind it, it’s ‘distance’ and not ‘displacement’, coz expanded, it’s defined as the shortest path taken and none of us prefer to opt for that)… and one day this fine line grows up into a tough barrier which stands firmly in between all sort of relations viz. family, friends, humanity and claims itself to be the best and most faithful creation of yours, will never defy you and for a change, possesses the virtue of preparing yourself to stand still courageously in the so called ‘worst phase of life’ and I am in total agreement with W.H.Davis, a genius poet you see, will defeat Bejan Daruwala with his future forecasts!
Well, this was my initiative of fixing a date with your own self, with few head banging sessions and some sarcastic lines along with; trying to be more polite and courteous …I just want to warn you with one lovely sentence containing heavy dose of reality, that may or may not act as an eye-opener depending on your priorities in life which states ‘The axe is hanging in its right position, exactly where it is supposed to be, and on whom it’ll fall next is over to you to decide’.
So guys, lets hope for the best! ...or replace the word ‘hope’ with ‘strive’? …take a dip in your think tanks people, and decide yourselves! Do take out time from your busy schedules to take a sneak peak at this one… Don’t disappoint me un’intentionally’… Chow!
