Its pouring in Mumbai. Everyday I get pictures and videos giving glimpses of whats happening there as shot by some of those unfortunate Mumbaikars. The rains have already claimed hundreds of lives. The Tsunami that happened months ago, now the heavy rains in Gujrat and Maharastra, London blasts, Blasts in Egypt...Its just not nature but people of the world are facing the fury of fellow beings also. Where is the world heading to?
Last week I was watching those ads of KBC-2 and fascinated by the theme- on how we all hope for a better tomorrow and struggle with our todays. But all these people who came face to face with the fears of never seeing that tomorrow they always dreamed of, or those who lost the very people they wanted to share it with..how would they feel..the wounds apparently heal..but leave the wounded ones scarred for life. How difficult could it be to cope with such sudden invasions into their lives, rendering one so very helpless, to cope with those feelings they never ever dreamt they would one day feel so intensely, all those felt so remote,so alien, things which they had seen happen to people in some far off worlds happening to them. Things certainly will never be the same for them.
All of us console ourselves with where we are, with whatever we have, though we not really happy with them, hoping someday things will be the way we want. Will they ever be? Can anybody guarantee it for you? Can anybody claim confidently to live the next day? But still what is it that keeps one going.

Hmm..so true!
the fact that we don't have many choices!! to move away from "the path of least resistance" almost always requires too much courage!
we love our blinders!!
May be yes, but in many cases/situations you are not given a choice to choose, you are only given a choice to decide how you take whatever happened..And yes as you say we all love our blinders!
Love! For things, and for people. The love for things that you like doing, the love of/for your parents , the love of/for a few friends and most importantly the love of/for your mate, thats what makes life worth looking forward to each day. Love makes it worth while.
