Spiraling Down the Abyss

I looked up and saw the sky unfolding it's magnificence! Felt like a speck of dust, diffusing into oblivion.... into nothingness, into eternity. 

Life is similar to a blank canvass... waiting for the painter's next brush of inspiration, etching a moment of revelation. While searching for answers, I am spiraling down the abyss of truth....

Free falling into the never ending void.... Trying hard to find a way out... to find the realness... to find the 'hidden' purpose.

While free falling, I had many interesting encounters.... People and incidents who have molded my thoughts and vision.... I learnt from their personal experiences....

Their struggles, will to break free and live life on their own terms... They evolved to become legends and rising hope for millions out there who strive to make something meaningful out of their life...



I learnt from my own experiences as well.... Have done my share of mistakes... Few incidents shook my belief and soul...

Yet, I stood up again and learnt not to flinch in the face of adversity.... Am still learning how to live my life sans the rules and diktats of our dysfunctional society...

In this voyage, I stumbled across individuals who were somehow different from the 'pre-defined' meager existence... The courage in their soul, the faith in their conviction and the burning passion to live by their own rules....

I learnt the essence of humility, love, sacrifice, and integrity from them...

Every person who I encountered while walking the path of life, left an imprint on my mind and soul.... I don't even remember some of their names or faces but still... They taught me what you may perceive as inconsequential values....

Just the sight of a smiling child can uplift your spirits....You forget your woes and troubles.... You believe once again that world is not a bad place after all.

I have lived a life worth living.... With all the mistakes, troubled times and joyful spurts, I will not trade this wonderful revelation with anything else....

                                                            I am the master of my fate 
                                                            I am the captain of my soul

  1. How important it is for us to understand and live up to this beautiful moment called LIFE. No matter how many downs there are always the ups to look forward to. It is only through reflection that a moment can get a meaning. I thoroughly enjoy your SPIRIT for Life, for people and the places that surround you Ananya. I wish you live life Kingsize, after all you are the Master of your Fate and the Captain of your Soul. Keep writing and I will continue to share my thoughts.
