Aah !! Life, Dreams, Achievements.......and so it continues.....

Hunger, is a natural feeling, a burning sense that gets doused in due time. This very hunger can turn malicious when it is wrapped with greed, a sense and pride and a drive to achieve, conquer and rule.
Out of personal experiences I’ve come across many an instance when I wanted to achieve, hold my head high, prove others wrong and keep marching, marching up the ladder. Since then I’ve never turned back to look at the past, and if I ever did sit in silence, the memories of those happy moments rush to haunt me. Yes those happy moments!!
The only moments I cherish, I still love to think about and smile are those moments where I laughed innocently, chirpily, free of thoughts, free of worries.
The cackle and chuckle over the dinner table with the family, the bickering and squabbling over a piece of news just before sleep. The bantering and chitchat with the prized friends just outside the school campus, the hooting and snorting with the same group in an abode that was ours. The pillow fights and gossips in the abandoned rooms of the hostel. The enjoyment and pleasure when we hanged-out in “God knows where”!!
These are those moments that I described as haunting, the moments that stick to me as if glued, but here I am wandering, leaving at bay, moving away from the myriad of things that have actually made me Live, live life happily!
In search of success I say, In search of prosperity I give it a name. In search of name and fame I notify, to get enlightened I whisper.
Enlightened, yes that is the word, the word I was looking for. Enlightened one gets not by gaining worldly knowledge for material assistance or personal satisfaction. Enlightenment is an effect of gaining an understanding of the purpose of life. And what is it? It is surely not the same for everyone like how a degree of MBA or Engineering is the aim or even better, passion for the numerous souls. A dream job is a dream for thousands in the ship, but this purpose which I believe we are supposed to search for is unique and beyond near resemblances.
That purpose when contracted with is termed as an heavenly feeling and I, from today wish to go in search of the soul’s purpose using the steps of the ladder I’ve climbed so far as the means. I shall stay close and encounter more of those happy moments, shall relinquish myself off the guilt, the guilt of leaving my parents all alone, for I am supposed to return to them their happiness which happens to be me. Another decade they may spend in the world and in money I go in search for. I’ve begun to realize what is important in life, and I am happy that it has happened, sooner than later.
Sit back and relax, meditate in silence my teacher used to preach, your purpose, thou shall understand, but I was not in the right frame of mind to listen to him then. Today, I understand, I bet, if we all listen to our hearts, rather than our minds, we shall lead a peaceful life, filled with bliss and shades of green!!!
