Chasing something is a bigger thrill than……actually getting it! …Re-living it all over again…courtesy initiation of a research pending for almost an eon …!
Well! Coming out of your comfort zone and being back to where ‘rubber meets the road’ is not really much comforting. A part of you feels daunted, wanting to go back to the familiar terrain of your cozy world, where you are the king of your roost…where people know you by your nick-names…where your life runs via either your organizer or the schedule on the board. In short… ‘Your space’!
But you forget how you reached that so-called ‘your space’. What today you call ‘yours’ was also once alien to you, a part of the wilderness that you always feared! So, in fact, nothing is really yours except that very quest which brought you there. So! In other words, I am again out there…testing the hypothesis!
…You know something! Yesterday only, I saw something really special! A young man was driving a scooter, with an old woman sitting on the backseat and in her lap sitting a little child (must be her grandson, son of the man driving)! The woman was holding man’s shoulder with one hand and the child with other…and child holding man with his hands!
…Well! They say it right…Your future is nurtured in the hands of your past…driven by your present! Or, in other words, the only way to go forward… is to go back to your roots!
So…! Back to…‘where rubber meets the road’!
