THUNDERSTRUCK !!!

In the Last coupla days 2 juniors,1 batchmate,an old friend and an odd number of ex-colleagues i have been in touch with are going through a rough time answering the following questions that most of us have asked of ourselves and not got any answers in return...

1.Who am i ?(as in ..whats my destiny ? not a temporary-amnseia syndrome;-)
2.What am i doing here ? ( What is the purpose of life ?)
3.Why am I doing what i am? ( Is the job I am into the right one ? is this the right choice ? etc)
4.Where is all this going to lead to ?(The destiny funda again..)

and so many more related questions..pertaining to the usual mish-mash of subjects that are relevant to our generation-career,job,girlfriend,wife,love interests,etc...

Any answers ?? they ask me...(I am not an enligtened soul...and dont proffer to give any answers..nevertheless,a sincere attempt...)

Point 1:
If you knew all the answers to the above questions,there would be no point in living for 60-odd years rite...Since you have gained nirvana,you mite as well end your life and take the fast train to heaven/hell(based on ur preferences)...

/*An afterthot:you could consider the train as a viable suicide option..rather painless and sudden,i am told..*/

The purpose of life ,as i see it...is to enjoy it, live every moment and generally cherish it for all it's beauty...(I know..sounds preachy,but..so TRUE !!)

SO LIVE IT !!!

Point 2:
It's great to be indian !and the reason is simple..we are fatalistic..it's part of our psyche..Why would there be words like "Inshallah","Bhagwaan jaane","by God's grace","wahe Guru",etc otherwise...

(err..am not off the mark..i am just trying to build up a decent defense in the lines to follow...)

What I am trying to say is that as Indians we have an advantage over the others in that we can be comfortable with our fate and say it's beyond our control.."100 % effort from our side but the rest is dependednt on God,luck and fate" is such a familiar line...

So.. Be comfortable with what you cannot control !!!

Point 3 :
Dear pal,you are just about halfway thru life...half of which was spent falling over,getting up,actually walking and maybe sometimes brushing your teeth too...and the other half was spent on crushes,one-way love affairs(ofcourse,i meant from the other side there was love and you were non-chalant about it !!) and going to college..sometimes...

If you have a problem and are asking these kinda questions right now,wonder what you are gonna say when you get married,have kids,diabetes,divorce lawsuits,alimony and related paraphernalia which is so much everybody's story today...
;-)

I have a theory... and it is this...The people who remain most cheerful and happy every day are the ones who wake up full of life and energy and not somebody who says "Uggh...another day...have to goto office...i wanna sleep..."( I do that,btw..;-)..The start makes a difference...

So...to complete...let me just say...Live life for each moment...do something everyday that's useful to somebody else...(trust me,it's tough and i've not been successful too many times) and wake up in the morning each day and say "WOW !! WHAT A Beautiful day !!Perfect to change the world !!!"

Or....You can take the easy way out...
And listen to " Thunderstruck " by AC/DC at full volume ringing in your ears while hangin out of a mumbai local at 9:00 AM !!! THE MOST EXHILARATING EXPERIENCE !!
