Crossroads

Just when you are sitting, pondering in your room with your favorite cup of coffee, thinking that yes life is finally settled and there are no more crossroads left to decide upon, life smashes you with another crossroad. It's something that you never knew even remotely had the possibility of happening. That little iota that favors the situation becomes Zeus and hits you like a thunderbolt. You then sit back and wonder, how did I end up here? Which road to take? For past gives you lessons but not solutions. All your wisdom ceases to exist. You’re trapped in your own realm. Which is the correct way out? For every turn that life shows you is a never seen before turn. The irony of this life is, it gives you blind turns, always! A turn you make and you can never turn back. Sometimes I think, how easy it all would have been had we had the option of reverse gear in life. The only thing you will end up wasting is time. But at least you will have the option of making the right turn. It’s like taking the road not travelled by and giving it a chance to appeal to you but when it fails in that attempt, you can simply go back take the road more travelled by.  More importantly, you wonder whats the destination of this lane? For we are all always clueless on what we seek from life. You never know where you will end up, what will you end up like and the biggest of all questions, will you make it worth the while? Will you look back and smile? Will you do good? We will never know you see, cause its all but a maze. A maze who’s map is hidden in time. Someone who means the world to you today might be a complete stranger tomorrow and someone who is a complete stranger today might define your world tomorrow. All we tiny beings can do is wait. Wait for things to take their own turns. But that’s again a gamble. For you definitely don't want to look back and think “ how I wish I had done something back then”. Its all but a crossroad wherein you will take the turn that appeals the best. It will look rosy today and if you’re lucky be rosy in the end as well. You never know you see.  But one thing you’ll know for sure, it will lead you someplace, a place where you’ve never been before and present you with a crossroads you’ve never crossed before.
