An evening @ 152, KF

I always thought that there would be one defining moment in my life which would change the whole perception of it and I would usher into a realm where I would breathe whatever I always wanted to. Well it does happen but perhaps for a minority. The concept of an ideal life really doesn't exist. And it is folly to expect someone/some event to be a turning point in your life. Every minute aspect of our living is an experience and it is these moments which make our life worthwhile. Every dawn brings us the memoirs of the previous night so that we paint a better dusk. 

Today when I think of the days which I would never relive,I find myself commending some decisions I ever took and of course regretting a few too.But what I regret the most is never taking a few decisions while waiting for the right time to do so.In the quest for the "BEST's", I ignored the better ones. Ultimately I ended up with "Good". Life is a melange of experiences and that constitutes everything. If you ask me how I remember my past, it would be just a prelude if I only told you about the best moments. But my dear friend - what is life if it is not an entire novel? It is a graffiti of not just the bright colours.

I have regretted a lot waiting for the "right" college,"right" career , "right" job, "right" guy and almost everything that has got the "right" adjective tagged with it. But I guess I have realized that it is beautiful to make things "right" instead of choosing it. And perhaps right now, I am living one of the most memorable evenings of my life with nothing extraordinary about it but for this piece of realization.
