Life and an Ice cream !

As the penultimate month of the year 2013 fast approaches its end, it was a time for me to start taking stock of how things have been this year. Though a final flashback post for the year is scheduled for next month, for me personally and generally, the year seems to have had more downs than ups.

Loss of people near and dear to me have been galore this year and also many a dream has been shattered; but then as wise men say, “Life Must Go on”.

I came across a wonderful similarity between life and an ice cream which a very dear friend has on his watsapp status. It says we should enjoy life and ice cream to the fullest before they melt away though I have a caveat for it. It is a certainty that the ice cream will definitely melt fast when you start enjoying it, but the case is reverse for life. The rate at which a person’s life might melt is inversely proportional to how much the person is enjoying life. The more you enjoy life, the less life melts away.

A person in his lifetime lives many lives. His entire journey of life is a summation of many different roles (lives) he enacts in the theater that begins with his birth. Everyone goes through incidents, day in and day out, that have more action, comedy, romance, tragedy and suspense than the greatest of blockbuster movies  and as a person evolves through his life journey soaking in these experiences, he becomes a wiser person, ready to embark upon a new life.

Probably the time has come for me to get a new life as well….but to embark or not to embark, that seems to be the question, my friend…..
