No matter how far or how fast you run, your deeds will sooner or later catch up with you, you can run away from situations, people, conflicts but never from your conscience, never from karma, but unfortunately it is only when it is too late that we realize the havoc that we raised in lives of people who always stood by us and no matter what we do, we can never get them back, it is not the people but our own karma telling us that no one shall go unpunished, no one, so before its too late, listen to your heart, the noblest virtues are that of kindness, love and gratitude, not of selfishness, deceit and self preservation, we so easily get used to believing in our own lies, that what was first the unacceptable idea, becomes the only way, because we lie to ourselves, get lured into moments of greed and selfishness, that we kill the good side of us to let evil prevail, and over time the very idea that was repulsive becomes a lifestyle, because it is too good to let go of the fun, the merriment and the temptation, it starts with a small lie, a moment of weakness and when we are fully engrossed in it, ironically, everything else seems a lie, because the way with the people is, it is very easy to say everyone is wrong than accepting your own fault, but when you first gave in, if your conscience was against it, and habit overcame it, it is still wrong, but alas, creatures of habit that we are, only until life returns to us, what we gave to the world do we realize what we did, until then, say hello to the virtue of selfishness and wait for the apocalypse, sooner or later life will come around in a full circle.
Life and Change.

Life and Change...!
As I look outside the window of the moving train I realize the importance of change. Many a times in our lives we feel so possessive of what is around us that we are scared to let go, letting go of our loved ones, letting go of our dreams, our aspirations, even if things around us are aren’t working out as they are supposed to. We tend to cling on to broken fragments of our aspirations hoping that things would get back to normal. But what we need to realize is the fact that we cannot make the hourglass go backwards. What is gone is gone; all we have is what is to come. We as humans are scared to let go because letting go is hard but what my journey today taught me was the fact that if the scenery around me doesn’t change, if the train doesn’t move on I would not get to my destination. That there is only one constant in the world and that is change. Things around will change, they have to. I will meet people and then they will leave, there will be victories and then there will be defeats. That something is wrong if my life is stagnant. Change is the order which we all must follow. One who has realized this is one who will find his destination..........!
