Khoon Chala :)

kuchh kar guzarne ko khoon chala khoon chala
aankhon ke sheeshe mein utarne ko khoon chala
badan se tapak kar, zameen se lipatkar
galiyon se raston se ubharkar, umadkar
naye rang bhar ne ko khoon chala khoon chala
(From Rang de Basanti movie)

It's not that I did not take time to think about where I was heading and what I was acheiving by doing what I was doing. But somehow the thoughts would slip to the lost state when Monday came. Today I got up from sleep with a question in my mind- Is this what my life ought to be? It scared me that I would die soon and when I die there would be nothing to feel proud of the life I lived. One of my acquaintance once wrote a poem where one of the lines was - "Die young but live gracefully before death". I realize it is important to be conscious of your thought every moment of the day. This consciousness has to be bound with everything you do. Even computing :) Knowledge comes with a conscious effort to understand it and thread it with everything you do :) So aaja khoon chala kuch kar guzar jane ko!
