Life, As we call it

Once you are born Into this big, big world
You enter a confusing maze-
Something you need to figure out
Life, as we call it

Once upon a time
You are just a child
The next minute, an adult
With a big responsibility at hand –
Life, as we call it

One day you are free
Like a bird flying high
The next day you are pulled down
Further into complexities –
Life, as we call it

One minute you are so sure
Of what to expect next
The next minute you are thrusted
Back to square one –
Life, as we call it

One minute you are happy
Of all the wonders around you
The next minute you are pushed back
To reality that might be nasty –
Life, as we call it

Life, as we call it
Might be unfair at most times

Somehow that is what makes it exciting
Giving us the power to deal with,

Life, as we call it

The playground theory

As part of a fitness routine, my husband and I have started going for regular walks. Bangalore, famous for its 'parks', has a small one just about a kilometre away from my place. We go around the park several times hoping the weighing scale shows some mercy on us and we have thankfully been successful so far. This gives me the time to think about life, how time has passed by in a hurry and how things have changed in so little time. Looking at 2 feet tall kids running around, it makes me feel so old and it got me thinking - when was the last time I was so carefree and all I had to worry about in life was "When do I get to go to the park the next day?" To come to think of it, kids during their playtime can actually teach you a lot and so can monkey bars and slides! Here are some instances that got me thinking: The oh-so-tall slide - Kids are hell scared to get on top of the slide and are terrified that they might tumble down.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime

I absolutely have no idea why I have given this piece of writing such a heading. It is nowhere close to what am going to be talking about. Well, not directly at least.

So people reading it, do understand that this was written when I was going through one of the worst mood swings ever and you’ll know why in the lines further to come. People say things happen for a reason. There is a reason why I chose to work in CUPA. One of the obvious reasons was, I wanted to always be around dogs and help them with whatever they needed. Not for a moment in my entire life did I realize that this decision was going to change my perception about life. I might sound supremely philosophical, but yes, it did happen to me. Otherwise I won’t be writing this. Moving on, this one month, I had the time of my life. I am in the last week of my internship, officially. I am going to continue working with the NGO because they need help. Since ...
