There always comes a point in all our lives, when we are more happy for someone else's happiness than our own.... It is in our destiny to be unselfish, at least once in life.... This is my first blog for a specific person, rather than a specific topic..... for a person, whose happiness is so tempting that sharing it just as a friend; didn't seem good enough.... hence, this blog is for a wonderful sister; in a hope for a wonderful life ahead....

A very close friend of mine is planning to get married soon... Makes me think... we grow up reading great works of literature....Each one describing life in their own specific way... Shakespeare calls it a great play stage.... Shelley calls it a dome of many coloured glass.... we accept each view-point quite passively.... as if the value of that philosophy extends only as far as the next term exams.... but the real truths in life are those which are self-realized.... the best philosophies are the one you make on your own... based on your own experience....
Life is a constant change.... just when you feel that you've got the key to life; life changes the locks.... I feel as if I've reached another cross-roads in life.... a cross-road from where nothing will be the same again....
the future holds a new set of friends whom I'd rather call "Colleagues".... A new family in which everyone will be looking up to me for all the decisions... endless responsibilities, limited rights.... Less time before the mirror, more time before the exhaust pipe of the vehicle before me... Less movies, less t.v. but a life that will resemble a script, nonetheless.... a life where everything that could be counted, need not count and everything that counts, need not be counted....
This bend in life is at an uncertain distance for me.... in an uncharted territory.... but for my friend, it is more real.... more cognitive, more tangible..... and I am proud of the grace, poise, maturity, happiness and contentment with which she is embracing this bend.... We may still flow in the same course of life.... we may drift away.... we may cross path some day.... we may dry away.... but one thing is for sure.... no matter who reaches that great sea before... the water of that sea will be a lot sweeter for the river coming in next...
With all the best wishes for, Motu.... and in the anticipation of all the happiness in store for her...
