Seeking a Great Perhaps
Last week reading through John Green’s debut novel ‘Looking for Alaska’ left me pondering over a very important thing – “Seeking a Great Perhaps”. Miles, the protagonist of the novel who is obsessed with last words of great men, leaves his home town to study in a boarding school his father had once studied in. When asked by his parents as to why he wanted to leave, holding a biography of Francois Rabelais, he replies : “Francois Rabelais. He was a poet. And his last words were “I go to seek a Great Perhaps.” That’s why I’m going. So I don’t have to wait until I die to start seeking a Great Perhaps.”
Signing off 2015
“Some goodbyes mark new beginnings.”
As the sun of 2015 sets and the eve of new year 2016 creeps in, I feel fortunate for this year of learning. This year has given me a lot and also snatched away somethings from me, for which I hold no remorse. The biggest thing which I have gained this year is myself. I have come in terms with my fears and discovered my dreams. I have learned to forgive and love unconditionally. Continue reading
Dreams that steal my sleep !
Some time back I was discussing with a dear friend of mine about how dreams have the power to change lives. True dreams aren’t the ones which we see while asleep, they are the ones that make us forget our hunger and sleep. They lead us to be passionate enough, to make sacrifices for which the world may call one “Crazy” or “Workaholics” !
A World in My Dream
Take me far away,
Away from the worries,
Of this meddlesome world..
Take me to the lakes,
Where unicorns stop by,
To talk with the quacking ducklings..
Take me somewhere calm and quiet,
Away from the hustled city life,
In green paddy fields,
Where I can lay, gazing at the stars..
Before Tomorrow Comes, Live Your Dreams
Live it like it’s your last one,
Not like just another day…
They live, they break, they burn,
For you, it’s not the same…
Step up, make a run for it,
Good things in life aren’t easy, are they ?
Light the fire, let it burn,
As wild as it could get..
Love her?… Let her know,
Care enough?.. Let it show…
Untie the shackles, go free from it all,
Let your will pave your way..
