Caught in a deadlock

"Life is a journey , one which is much better travelled with a companion by our side . But sometimes we lose our companion along the way , and then the journey becomes unbearable ."

Life , as we know it , starts from the moment we wake up everyday . And mine started today with a nightmare , which broke and gave way to another ..... "nightmare" !! 7:26 !! .. 4 minutes to the OS class . Brushing up , skipping breakfast , still walking to class ('coz of my now 'permanently' defunct bicycle) , reaching class 15 minutes late and only missing out on a piece of the professor's mind ;) .. not bad actually .

But kept thinking of the nightmare throughout .. somehow even the topic covered reflected the dilemma i was contemplating about .. DEADLOCK !! Lets just say that I had thought forgetting something important was possible .. but it seems far from over . And this battle cant be won , has to be fought alone and could well be devastating .

Life is about baseless expectations , limitless desires , a heart filled with hope ....
and then the shattering of it all .
And even then you dont quite learn your lesson .. dont quite stop dreaming .. cant quite stop expecting .. coz if you do , you lose the very quintessence of life .. HOPE .
And then it gets shattered all over again and more painfully this time around .
But can you give up hope ? Dont know , but seems i so want to , but cant ...

And amidst all this , life moves on .. you dont forget to smile at little jokes with friends , dont forget to listen to your friends and help them out , dont forget to pull their legs overtime , dont forget to complete your assignments , dont forget to watch movies and serials , dont forget the thousand other things that make up life ... and you dont forget HAPPINESS either ( just that it will take some more time and invention of a new route to get there)
But what you CANT forget is what you most want to ... and your foolish heart just doesnt let you forget !!! And you cant help wondering , if you really deserved all the pain ...

After all , if you knew DEADLOCKs , you would know that it isn't really easy to get out of them once you get into one ..

"Life is a journey , one which is much better travelled with a companion by our side . Still , despite our best intentions , some of us will lose our companions along the way , and then the journey becomes unbearable . You see , human beings are designed for many things , but loneliness isn't one of them."

N.B. : Don't read into these as overtures to my personal life . They might appear a bit too personal , as going through them just suggested to me .. but you would really be on a wild goose chase if you thought that they were a direct reference to me . And just in case you liked the opening and closing quotes ... picked up from 'Desperate Housewives' ;)

hey thr..i fully understand the tuf time ur going thru..n my advice to u at this point wud be to lead a normal life and not brood over wats happened or wats happening..as they say time is the greatest healer..n yes human beings rnt exactly designed for lonliness n dats y thr r friends.. inspite of the fact that we can never fill in the gap of a special companion still we r always thr to share yr joys n sorrows..so cheer up pal..it aint all dat difficult..just take life as it comes n never for once luk at the past coz every new day in yr life has something special in store for u :)
take care

A really nice piece of writing.... hats of tu u!!!!!
But the point is that u have got it all wrong.....i really know the essence of what u were talking about but its high time now and u have to get over it.Yes its a deadlock and the only way of getting out is IGNORE.Just try to forget whatever happened because whatever happens, happens for good.Life is too short to live with regrett or compunction so get out and get going....
and haan abt me, i have totally got over it and written the closing post of Best-Days....if remember that blog....do read at ur own risk becuz its full of harsh words....
aur haan two more points:
1.DP pe ghar ja , aish mar and sab bhool ja
2.aur haan ghar jane se pehle assignment mujhe mail kar dena ...plz :-)

Listen to "With or Without You"... by U2.... it is the song in which you thought Bono was looking gay.... for anyone else reading this comment, the opinion about Bono was entirely Shaunak's and not mine... just clarifying.

@anshuman : for a first ever comment , not bad ;) . Thanks for the support , though not quite sure what it was for ;)

@dpc : thy words exude malice more than ever , and maybe you had something to do with all the evil that has transpired :P

@udit : pata nahin , its sometimes very hard to follow what you think is right ... and the heart always wishes to tread the path less travelled . haan , ghar to really jana chahta hoon .. bas , aur do din !!

@murkho : you are a great man , hence cheerful . i am a simple man , hence sad . and german is still a language most ppl understand in a german class :P

@arnab : didnt quite get the lyrics fully .. but as for songs depicting the situation at hand , i have a couple myself . but i was looking for a solution .. one that seemingly doesnt exist :(
