Its been 1.5 yrs and all my life now

Feels like yesterday when the plane took off from India.... I held my breath,closed my eyes and tried to imagine what my future would be like......as far as I can remember, all I saw was a mixture of a million questions,insecurities and hopes backing it all.....

1.5 yrs hav gone by since I landed in US....its been as swift as a feather blown off the palm.....feels more like home here now....yet not completely....

I wudnt wish to be what I was 18 months ago...nor am I fully at peace with what I am....how funny the changes in life are...they keep us wanting to go back, but we are working to get ahead!

I see my room on the webcam in the background...I see my fathers aging forehead and hopeful eyes....I see my mother touching the screen to feel me...and I realise more that I need to get far and ahead.These are the moments which form the juice of a lifetime....

I dont regret for having lost the past, nor do I repent the changes I am casting into my future (at present)....I think life is beautiful. It shows me its nature in a million unthinkable ways. And I sit and think and think till I figure ....how insignificant I am in this marvellous jigsaw puzzle of God....

You have told everything that I have been trying to figure out, in the last one year!!

"how funny the changes in life are...they keep us wanting to go back, but we are working to get ahead!"

So true.

I do repent and regret for loosing out on my past, as I was the one who made it go, but I totally agree that life is the most beautiful and inspiring reason to live for!

"I wudnt wish to be what I was 18 months ago" - hmmm...have you changed SO much in just 18 months? Or is it just that a latent side of your persona has come to the fore?

"I dont regret for having lost the past, nor do I repent the changes I am casting into my future (at present)" -
ha ha ...nicely said/twisted - including the entire time continuum in one sentence. rotfl.

"how insignificant I am in this marvellous jigsaw puzzle of God" - well, thats one way to look at it. i do think , though, that God[irrespective of how one visualises him /her] meant for all of us to realise that, in spite of our insignificance in relation to the vastness of life's tapestry , every one DOES matter - from the tiniest ant blindly following the instincts of the hive-mind to a captain of industry like Bill Gates , we all have our roles and no one is insignificant. What do you say?

Time is the best teacher, but unfortunately it kills all her students. n'joy the life, cherish the past and hope for the best in ur life. Aim for the sky, atleast you will not bite the dust.
