Life is...


Possibilities we didn't explore

Opportunities we didn't take

Moments we didn't pause

Promises we didn't make

Truths we didn't dare

Lies we didn't share

People who didn't care

Dreams that were

Dreams that weren't

Searching

Defining

Moving ahead

Stepping back

.... And a fine lazy afternoon, listening to Jazz, reminiscing, looking forward, taking a deep breath...

And just being...

Itchingtowrite said...

read all the posts on this page v thought provoking. i agree with the being the first bit. i suppose people are scared that the person in question is being coerced into a relationship & may not be truthful to the daughter so they drop the guy like a hot cake if he has had an affair before

Anshul said...

NICE!!!

`razzler

`itching to write
yeah u're right about that one.. they probably dont trust the guy to love their daughter as much, thinking its a rebound or something!

`anshul

Usha said...

I wonder if all this is what life might have been - you know the one we think is "somehwere over the rainbow"? but what Life is, is the ones we actually did I think!
But well written

Cool said...

One more line to add life is a mystery

loved this!!

Aditi said...

good post, somewhat dramatic, somewhat poetic, managing to steal the show.

InkTank said...

very compulsively enjoyable thoughts. and agree with u on ur earlier post too. this discovering of our own self is a never ending process.we dont live so long, but it cud go on till eternity really. thats one of the complexities of human mind!

Still Searching said...

`brandy
thanks.. loved yours too..

`aditi
hehehe.. dramatic yes! poetic, hardly! :) thanks.. :)

`inktank
i like your profile name, inktank :)
yeah, journey of self-discovery ends with moksha, nothing less!

Anonymous said...

ouch....profound...sometimes we are forced to wonder if there really are any deep thoughts or just some plain attention grabbin gimmiks.....

;)....my sympathies whatever the case maybe...

Aparna Ganguly said...

ouch... that hurt..

Why think of the road not taken?
To win some, you gotta lose some..

Nevertheless- nice ramblings :)

Still Searching said...

`anonymous
Looks like I got your attention as well as made you think deeper about it nevertheless! So I guess its both!

`aparna
its not regret, its more like thinking about what we may have lost, accepting it and then moving ahead...

Amit said...

life is what passed us by while we were doing 2 things - waiting for it to happen and trying to figure it out. cliched but so effing. like a friend of mine says life is like a trance anthem never played in ibiza, never listened to in anyone's cd but available in everyone's collection.

Unknown said...
