Highway

As a tribute to the "yeh fevicol ka jod hai, tootega nahi" Ad.

Some place in UP along the Delhi to Dehradun highway, these are images every one can relate to, right alongside mercs buzzing past you can see everything from elephants, camels and these jugad transports.

It is pure pleasure to travel along the Indian Highways, even through all the potholes and traffic jams and what not, they still have a unique quality to them, something that has me mesmerized, spellbound.

In some years these old highways will make room for grand 4-6 lane highways, slowly killing off the old ways, it is progress and can not be stopped, however some where in my head that tongue burning, sweet as hell tea on a cold-cold day with some thick-drenched in butter parothas, will have a place, forever, and i am sure many streches of highways will forever keep that charm people seem to hate.

it all seems so different now.

When one thinks of a million light years , every thing that is and that will be seems so insignificant.

Round about hundred years that is all one can live for, and then zip, it all stops, once i realized this and thought of the much much much bigger picture all i felt was a weird calm, a very relaxed state, and this thought made me realize that all the BS that is served day and night about success is just irrelevant, and hence i will live my life without these notions that i do not agree with.
To take pleasure in small random conversations, to wait and see this world going about its path, and not to waste my life going after things i do not want.
I am so thankful that for whatever reasons we as humans have the ability to understand our surroundings and to question them.

While some people still Follow the old saying that a Busy man is a Happy man, i just feel that being a Bee or an Ant is not the solution for me......
