Lost in Chakravakam........

...said the title for the song that was playing. Was reading through a friends blog where he'd written a siru kavidhai.....in the lines of good ol' Shakespeare's "All the World's a stage..."

Thought inspiring words indeed...
I don't decide when or where I enter this colourful place we call 'our' world!
I don't decide where or how I grow up.......
I don't decide finally where I end up making a career (even my efforts on this front only make for a part of the end result! If not how do u explain us having to change careers as times move on...)
I do not remember clearly what all happened when I was a child....
I do not even remember instances more than about a 5 years back....
For the last 5 years, I do not even recall the finer details....
I may recall certain things from the last year or even the last few months....

Now I do not know what the next 5 years are going to bring....yeah - and they ask you during the interview process - Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?!!!!! And we are supposed to answer in a positive manner.....BS, I say!!
I don't even know what the next year is bringing in...nor the next few months....not even the next few days!!!
Such an unexplained existence full of questions and no answers yet......though amply accompanied by this humongous amounts of ego! 'I' this, 'I' that, 'Me' here, 'Me' there......

Where does that leave us, I wonder!

'Live in the Present' - remains an interesting answer for the moment. Somehow, that also seems a point in time answer...No, not even an answer, and escape of sorts? And that certainly does not answer some of the questions posed earlier..............
