What do you think?

Disclaimer: This post is an absolute ridiculous rant. Readers discretion is advised. (Read at your own risk)

...... Sometimes you just sit there staring into the space with unseeing eyes. (Ofcourse there is always going to be someone who waves infront of you, and brings you out of whatever train of thought was going on.. ). But believe me, then is when we really start thinking, in between the short pauses and sudden lulls in the conversation. In a noisy bus with one guy leaning over you, and 3 other fat ladies trying to make a sandwich-burger combination. You just let go, and you stare straight into the space.

At exactly that moment, you might think about what you really were aiming at, but slowly you move into the state, when you start thinking what you really are.. what you really mean here.. what you would want yourselves to be.

Of course, these are the most difficult answers and yes, just when you try to understand yourselves, the lady who tried to be the topmost bread in the sandwich shouts something to the lady in the far end of the bus, jerking the 10 ppl around her out of their sleep. And there goes the train of thought, to the next station leaving you right there..

Then, it all starts all over again.

But then, when you have a great chat with some of your friends and share everything you ever wanted to, it seems more clear. But, even then.. you just never get there.. never get it..

That is the real mystery of Life..

I never knew..

I never knew leaves fall
I never knew a breeze can turn into a blizzard
I never knew rains could be acidic
I never knew every breath could be a struggle
I never knew the earth could tremble
I never knew the sands always get washed away
I never knew the lonely worm gets picked anyway

I never knew what was coming
I never knew when it went
I never knew what I would be
I never knew what I am

Ah,
I never knew sun shines through clouds
I never knew trees danced with the breeze
I never knew the sea whispers secrets of life
I never knew that panacea was a child's smile
I never knew a grandma's touch was the softest that you longed for
I never knew that the birds sing the sweetest song
I never knew a butterfly was so colourful

Until I did.
