The year 2030 …

Back in the days when we were young and stupid, 20 something guys ….

It was just about a few days before I was going to leave my college for the last time. I was just sitting and counting down the days when everything just seemed to swish by in fast forward. Life showed me flashes from my own past, all the things that I wished to treasure and not leave behind. And then the million dollar question popped up – “What is the one thing that I wish the most in my life?” I thought that I’m clueless and probably will be like that for some time to come. But that one time, I guess I was confident that I had no more expectations left in me, or rather didn’t want to have any, or just that I was sure enough that I was unsure about everything. Thought that it might be better if I let there be an element of surprise and a little tinge of hope for a better life.

I recollected and reminisced about all the things that I might have screwed up while saying things that shouldn’t have said at the first place – the most inappropriate ones, something that was totally avoidable. We make these mistakes and regret later, but I guess then sometimes it’s better to make them. It’s something that helps you step forward towards being a better person. We hope that in a moment of clarity, every thing settles down in front of us and we are vindicated with a hope that we have left a desirable impression on others, something we could take forward without any regret.

As I look back, I don’t know whether there’s an end to this or not and as I’m still trying to contemplate one …. Life moves on anyway ….
