Two questions:
Q1. How many of us have ever tought about the direction we wish to take in our life?
No doubt, we all would have.
Q2. How many of us still travel in the same direction, we wished to take at the beginning of our journey in life?
I doubt even a single one.
Oftentimes we set-off our life's journey in a particular direction. We will have definite dreams we want to realize, passions we want to carry along and goals we want to achieve.
But, as days pass by, we drift off from the path we decided to pursue. We are carried around in different directions, like an ungoverned ship in the middle of a stromy sea. We forget what our dreams are. We forget our passions and strive very hard for fulfilling others goals. That too in a very fast pace.
Before we realize that we are not travelling in the direction we wished for, most of our fuel would have run out. We have worked too fast and in too furious a manner, to satisfy others needs. At the end we are left with lots of unrealized dreams, unpursued passions and unfulfilled goals.
Why should it happen this way? Why should the boat of life get caught in the stormy sea? Is there no way that we could steer back to the right direction? Lots of questions arise...
There is nothing we could do to stop the storm. The world is now in an age where even nanoseconds count. It has become just another natural phenomenon. Everybody has to run to keep up with tight schedules and targets. The work environment is ever changing and fast-paced. Some days the influence of storm will be disastrous and some times mild; but there will be storm everyday.
Only way we could avoid the storm is anchor the ship in a harbour. But then, what is the use? A ship is meant to sail; not to float idle in the harbour. We cannot sit idle and say 'I am safe'. We sit idle, and the world moves around at a rate, that within no time we realize that we are left behind the crew by thousands of miles.
We have to lead the journey. And we have to do in the way we wished for.
....To be continued!

Hello World!!!
Oh.. it feels so good!
How long I waited to say hello to the world ! Not knowing this simple way! Thanks to the blogger friends who inspired me to write blogs. Special thanks also to the special one, whose name I can't reveal now, who is the reason why I write now.
So much thoughts flow through my mind as I type this first blog of mine. I should say, 'as I "blogged", my mind "clogged"'.
Had this internet revolution taken place some 400 years back, I feel that, there would have been so many Shakespeares and Miltons known to the world now. And who knows, we would have savoured and relished the fine works of so many more unknown authors and artists around the world, who lived and died as local celebrities.
Oh.. I forgot to introduce myself. On a broader perspective, I should say, I am a part of this large universe searching for the purpose of my existence for the past 26 years and 9 months. And, shall I add another 9 or 10 months to it !?! Born in a town named Tirunelveli, in the southern part of Tamil Nadu, which is a state in the Southern part of India. During the first 17 years, I searched my purpose of being in another town called Neyveli in the Northern part of Tamil Nadu. With very little progress there, I decided to pursue searching the purpose in a larger city. For the past 9 years, I have been doing it in this Chennai, one of the largest metro cities in India and the capital city of Tamil Nadu. Weary of my little progress in native land, I even tried an year in Europe and few months in other parts of India. Nope. No progress.
Recently, I started feeling that it is not one's purpose to search the purpose of existence, but to exist itself is the purpose. Subsequently next question rose, 'how to exist?'. I got the answer in this form of blogging. Isn't blogging a way to exist? Though virtual, I have this feeling that I do exist now. I shall continue to exist, or shall I say, I shall persist.
Goodbye World !
See you soon !
