I do keep milestones at every juncture of my life. I take out time and introspect it at regular intervals. Sometimes, it goes as planned, sometimes things are haywire. But that’s life!! It doesn’t come with a warning or a caution sign. It just happens.
As I complete 32, I have lots to cherish and none to regret. My birthday started off with a memorable journey. My wife and I were off for a trip and were lost in the middle of nowhere. Well, we were a little anxious but then unfolded a beautiful journey that just melted our heart in the lap of mother nature. We were in the midst of a small village called Keshardi, having a population of hardly around 500 people The green lush fields, the small houses, the narrow lanes and the cattle with the melodious sounds of the birds chirping. People with their love just show you the path, even when Google is unreachable. That’s just being social, away from social media. My roots belong to a Tier-3 city where people are attached to each other and I was so touched to feel that same bond. We realised it quickly, the bigger plan that we were stuck in was to enjoy the twist and turns of the journey, before we reach the destination. With slow music and wide smiles, my steering kept on turning as we finally reached the place we wanted to be at. Concluding a journey that started of with a little distress, ended up giving us a satisfaction.
I draw much similarities here in real life scenario. The year that started with such a story, is bound to be more special.
As the Swedish House Mafia says,
“Don’t you worry, don’t you worry, child
See heaven’s got a plan for you”
When things go unplanned, trust the timing of your life and let your faith be bigger than your fear. Just keep walking on the unexplored path, enjoy the journey. Yes, you’re bound to get anxious or frustrated, but the game planned for you is surely, bigger and better. The last smile will be yours and it will be precious than ever.
