Take a left…Take a right..no no just go straight!! We come across such situations almost every time we travel. It sounds so funny that I relate everything to anything at times or I just love to see it that way. At school, we had this weird exercise of matching the left section to the right by drawing an arrow or a line. If the book said all that you marked were correct, you get the full marks or else your teacher looks down upon you as a piece of crap who could not even match simple things. Wait…what about your friends? Ha I remember I always had a good fortune of being around with the ones who did well in their exams and soon after we got our marks they had a grin on their face…”you are so stupid man…this is just this way…its so simple”.
My teacher was right, my books were right and my friends were right too. But I had this question, why was I wrong in matching those small things? Or was I really wrong? A bat matches to a boy playing with it, the same bat matches to a ball with which it is being played, the same freaking bat matches a playground in which it is being used and the same god damn bat matches another boy who has interchanged it from the first!!! I was wrong because the book said so, my teacher and friends were right because again the book said so. Few steps relate to everything we do and how we presume it...We were taught that a line was the border, beyond which there is something bad and unknown. All those who crossed those lines were bad and all who did not are good people like us???
But who really defined it that way? No disrespect to them but when I look from their point of view I feel they must have seen the consequences themselves and were trying to help others by telling them that it was difficult to travel on a path which 95% of people dint and it was tough. But again the interpretation comes down to an individual who likes what he is doing. I guess we change our course to get away from something difficult or see ourselves happy or at times see the ones we love happy!!!

"I am so confused…
You confused me
I don’t have aims
You molded it with your directions"
Somewhere, somehow…few paths are lost in finding the right direction or allowing your directions to be shown by others. You commit mistakes we come back and we try to start a new journey. You know what is right and what is left in you. You are the best judge of your heart, mind and your situation. If you are right then you are right because you have your reasons. If you are wrong then you know it better than anyone else. May be judging the path by consequences will not fetch you your life!!!

Loved it ra! we in our society have always been brought up with the notion that what everybody does is right and what is uncommon and unknown is wrong! http://harryrambles.blogspot.com/2006/05/right-or-wrong.html, something similar.
people have to decide for themselves, life cant be liven on others' opinions and decisions.
It is absolutely the way we are leading our life.....well said !!!
