Unsegmented life!!



Am nearing my wedding date, and really it feels like the pace is competing with that of light.. 
And amidst the mixed feelings a few days ago during a conversation, 
A newly married client happened to ask me: "Are you going to be in pune?" 
I smiled back and said "Yes"..
Happy to hear that she immediately asked "Are you allowed to work?" 
I got a little puzzled but before I could answer her, she said I mean like how you work now..in and out anytime.. Odd hours.. Anytime with your friends.. I mean.........." 
Cutting her intentionally I said "Of course yes"
She kind of complained about her life in her next sentence saying "I don't remember when I met my friends last?" And before she left she said "Enjoy ur life with friends, you never know how it would be later on!!"
Well! I didn't know whether that was something that I should realize or be scared of.. 

But I was forced to think about my life, my closest friend got married a year back.. 
Yes! I don't get to meet and hang around with her that often like I used to, but not that she isn't my best friend now.. 
I know I can yet call her in the middle of the night incase I need to..

But slowly I did realize this is not personally my friends, my clients, or my story..
Its all of us..
We have unknowingly divide our lives into unwanted segments..

School life.. College life.. Jobs.. Married life.. Old age.. 
Don't you think we should treat them just like terms and Not reasons..??
With due respect to responsibilities in each.... 
Why can't we have ONE unsegmented life..?
If I feel like behaving like a kid and doing stupid things for fun, I can do that even when am 30 maybe, inspite of me being a mother..
I can feel like going for a trip ONLY with my friends at 35, because I need a refreshing break..
I can feel like taking a girls night out even at 45 when maybe my son has his bachelor night..
I can fall in love and behave responsible even at 15 amidst my books..
Can't I??
And for everyone who says NO or doubts it, let's make it clear.... you have with a lot of effort created this unfortunate moment for yourself.. Where you've restricted moments in life..
Age _ to _ : books and games
Age _ to _ : friends
Age _ to _ : love
Age _ onwards: job and money
age _ onwards: marriage
Etc
And then........ Ready to die??
Have u got this god like image inside u sitting and mentally preparing the entire process from birth to death..?
And then we ourselves only approve it feeling so imperfect about life..

And one time or the other hear from others/ourselves "This is not your age for all this?"
This shall be one reason for a list of regrets on ur death bed..
Obviously I don't mean u can go to school at 20 and start learning a-z then.. We all understand our age..
But why divide imagination?
Why limit feelings?
Why can't we just let go..............?

If you feel like, do it.. Or atleast work on it..
There is a reason why a few feelings come to you..
So dont let them go unnoticed, u might loose a big change of living your entire life in one magical moment..

What's with the link between age, life and actually living it?
Consider yourself lucky enough to be born.... 
Live a undivided life..
No boundaries..
No hang-ups..
Just one life in which every desire will be fulfilled whenever you want..
Being responsible DOESN'T mean killing your desires..
It perhaps means living your age but not restricting the soul..

Questionable Destiny!


They say everything is written,
But then they also say- you can change your destiny.. whats the truth?
Destiny is this 7 alphabet word, hidden unavoidable invisible existing force which apparently holds the future..

It was his destiny to become a singer/ she was not destined to be his life partner/ He died early because that was written/ It’s not in my destiny to go abroad / earn a lot of money……
who told you? You got a letter from destiny’s office?

With due respect to all beliefs, facts and feelings..
Destiny is the word we are choosing to defend ourselves today.
It sounds negative to me at times. If anything bad happens and we have no one to blame, we say its destiny. because we know destiny wont come and say-hey! i didnt do that!!

Dont hesitate from accepting mistakes, beacuse we all make them and the good part is- we are allowed to.. just take responsibility of it.
I believe that what has to happen eventually will but practically if there are no efforts, nothing will really happen.
He became a singer because he was either talented or worked hard/smart for it.
She chose another guy because he did not treat her right.
He died early because he smoked a lot.
And you sure as hell can go to a lot of places and earn money; no one in the universe can stop you if u have the will to grow.
Everyone living here is going to die. Destiny? No! its a rule that wont change..
So why devote time thinking what destiny has for you.
Destiny is what you make... what you believe in........!

There exists this voice deep within us which will always speak the truth, the voice of our soul. Believe in that. And the day we learn to believe in ourselves we wouldn’t need to depend on destiny or fate..
Don’t think much! just take chances, you never know what might happen.
You don’t have forever!!
Live everyday like it’s the last day……. because death is not destiny….. Its nature :)
