The Sundancer

By -
The year was 2005. That kid belonging to the small town of New England got a bicycle. It was a cool bicycle, 'Sundancer' written on it with 2 trainer wheels. The kid used to drive it all along the alleyways of the town on the supporting training wheels.
    Soon, he got rid of those trainer wheels, got really good in riding bicycle. As years passed, he hot a new Bicycle, this time a Hercules which was equipped with a 5 gear transmission system. The Sundancer lost its importance. Its steel rims that held the tyres started rusting. In less than 3 years, Sundancer was nothing more than a rusted machine while on the other hand, Hercules was nailing the roads.
Some more years passed. The Hercules too, got old. The gear transmission got jammed and in no time, it was in the attic. It was Hercules's time to rust now.
What's the implication of this? What do we have to do with some random layman kid's rusty bicycles? There must be thousands of such sundancers and Hercules in the world, rusting their day out.
We always have to make room in our life. You want something new and good, you goota lose something, tomorrow, if not today. Losing an old thing can be delayed, but not prevented. Take people for example. They will come into your life, live with you and go. They have to. Even the most basic relations of man{Parents} come with an expiry date. You just cant ignore that. Eventually you have to let people go, you cant just cling to them for life's wheel demands change.

Adversity spawns Greatness

By Anonymous -
Thanks to the affluent society that exists today, our generation of kids are running behind inadvertant things on internet. We care more about our fb posts, whatsapp statuses, insta stories than about big real life issues. Thats leads to us being very dissatisfied with what we have. I came across an interesting piece of literature today. Its called Missing Tile Syndrome. All humans have a tendency to look at what we dont have. Maybe evolutionarily speaking, it is important to look at what we are missing from our life. But in today's world where almost al of our basic neccesities are fulfilled,we tend to find more of those missing tiles. And maybe thats why we dont live to the greatness we aspire to be. Because our generation knows no adversity. All we know is finding those missing tiles so much that we get the missing tiles syndrome. People who really have missing tiles in their lives have thus, a greater shot at achieving greatness than us. Think of kids with homologous Sickle c...

The Commitments

There's this thing about Commitments.  They are known as commitments because they dont have any expiry date. What bothers me most is lack of people's courage to commit to something. Its something like  a give or take thing. You commit to something, you deserve a commitment in back. But its not always the perfect choice. Commiting to something is completely the individual choice, but what keeps me intriguing is: If someone is Commiting you something, do we have the moral responsibility to commit the same thing back? Or was it just his own choice to commit and that shouldn't mean any compelling behavior on the receiving party? This may sound insane or completely nonsense but thats what our life is all about...Give or take.

The Umbrella of Happiness

By -
We are not constantly under this hypothetical umbrella. At times, there are things which throw the whole world under this umbrella like this New Year while at other some things throw us out of the umbrella. The point is: We can never stay under this umbrella constantly.  We have to get out of it in order to enjoy our stay under it more. Sometime, We have to move out and get drenched in the sorrow pouring out of the umbrella and sometimes, life throws you out forcefully. What we need to realize that we arent going to be kept drenched out all the time. We will get under the umbrella someday. Today its their day, who knows tomorrow will be yours. Keep hoping and keep on striving to get under the umbrella. Adieu.
