Just a random thought!

Often a thought pops into my head.... again n again... Goes through the same old rigarmole.... Are we doing what we really aspire for? Are we being true to ourselves? Or are we simply lost in a haze of delusion? In the end, are we still 'alive'? 

While growing up, we dreamt of inconsequential aspects... These don't really matter anymore as we stride into the second stage of our life - adulthood... 

We tend to be more practical and rational in our thoughts... 

But sometimes i wish i could turn back the time... Go back to those good old days of innocence and sweet idleness... We hardly find time for ourselves in today's competitive world... 

Feel like pressing the 'reverse' button and go into the 'child' mode... Sweet nothingness! A heavenly feeling...

But then, it is not possible! Wake up to the harsh reality.... Whooosh! Pop goes the sweet nothingness.... Open up to the cruel world of masscares, political debacles, greed, hatred... Humanity goes for a complete toss!!! Hard to find any charm but optimism still thrives in my heart.... 

Trying to keep the hope alive that innocence, honesty and simplicity are not mere namesakes... They still hold a relevance in this place called earth... Man, i feel exuberant and humble at the same time....

To see a child's smiling face, listen to the birds sweet chirping, watching clouds forming different shapes over my head... I feel at peace and serene... A part of the nature... 

The symbiotic co-exisistence which we humans are blindly destroying... Ignorance is not a bliss in this aspect...  Still, somewhere in the corner of my heart, optimism is still alive...
