It might(should)... have been..!!

For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'….

Life – Love – Philosophy – Philanthropy – Values – Beliefs – Morals – Ethics - Customs – Traditions – WAY OF LIFE!!!

Flashes of memory… Glimpses of happy times… Twinges of sad ones… Stitch in the side laughing at goof-ups… Tears of frustration rolling down the eyes… Shards of anger… Remains of pain… Flickers of passion… Zeal of achievement… Ripples of heartaches… Pangs of separation… Fervor of veneration…

Those trips that you take down memory lane, hoping that thinking about those times would probably help you find an answer to what you are currently going through…

Times when you feel that if only I could go back in time there are things that I would/would not do, have said/would not have… Could have done that in another way… could have handled this in another way… should have had the sense to think up of this way to act in that situation… should not have said that in their favor… should have stood up for myself and not let someone walk over me… should have been more sensible… should have had more fun… should not have let life get so complicated… should have let go…

You know, for all that they say about learning from your life, mistakes that you make, and all the other loads of advice, philosophy, guidance, suggestions on how life would be if this has happened etc etc…. I think it would be better off if someone could just invent a time-machine and go back and change all those wrong things that you did… to put back everything right.. without any sort of change or without disturbing the perfectly woven threads of life….

But on the other hand, some things just happen…!!! Things just go out of control, feelings and emotions take over, heart rules over the mind, Brain says NO!! Do not do it, Heart says, if it makes you happy do it…. And ultimately sensations and sentiments just take over …. And then you are left wondering how, why, where, when and what just happened???? Guilty as hell…!! Or in some cases … Idyllic as on cloud nine…

Sometimes you feel, why are there so many restrictions on a life that’s so short… why have everything under control… why does one need to acquire acquiescence from various quarters to do something that one desires to do…. Why can’t we for once do something that’s not warranted or something that would actually raise people’s eyebrows… and what would be the consequences of that in this society laid down by rules, regulations, systems, policies and the like… sure would raise an uproar!!! But then again…. All desirable things in life are illegal, banned, and expensive or married to someone else!! Or are they???

If wishes were horses, pigs would fly…
