Connections, decisions and fate

              Ever wondered? If you hadn't been up early that morning and had not come across that beautiful angel, who went on to become your soul-mate?
              What if you hadn't got into a bust up with your rusty boss at your underpaying workplace filled with unambitious mortals?
              What if you had been on that bus which got shredded to pieces in that brutal attack?
              What if the person who inspired you or gave you a dream, a purpose to wake early in the morning day in day out was never born?
              Ever imagined? ever asked yourself about it? Even if you had, you might just fumble with some complicated conclusions. But to put it into simple words;
              What if the traffic signal you drove past moments ago was Red instead of Green? you wouldn't have been where you currently are!

              Yes it's destiny, it's fate! We all are bound to it. But, it's not singular, it's not definite. It's not that, all that comes from stars burns to ashes. Every being is fated to infinite no. of destinies.
              Its like an algorithm, A simple 'Yes' or 'No' would send you tumbling down an unexpected slide or it might even rise to a shiny bright peak.

              The choices you make can change your life completely. But, this is something which requires courage. You can look back and search for some pattern or clue but for answers you must climb down the flow chart. It's not for idle beings, the ones who stop short, get thrown into a whirlpool, into a routine! and then keep revolving inside a closed loop, never to come out of it.

              This universe is connected! like The galaxies, The Suns, The Planets, The moons and The stars. We all are linked to each others fate. When one falls, other rises; when one perishes, other triumphs.
              Observe the world closely and you will spot the pattern -The sensex, the annual budget, the petroleum price, people's way of living, war and peace, scandles, marriages, divorces, love affair. All of these tell you only one story.
When a door closes, another one opens.
               But in what place you will end up you never know. You will never know if you sail out your boat, you will get to some shore or crash into rocks and drown.

              So shove those doubts in your closet and walk out! Take a stride. I am sure you will end up somewhere.
Maybe not where you want to be but where you are meant to be.
