Displacement=0

Life moves on and on...covers a complete circle and then reaches the same point. We cannot even comprehend how much have we changed or travelled and experienced in the whole process...we merely move on. I am not complaining or cribbing about it, still, I wished to know how much have I travelled. There must be some track record for all this.
  • Spring vacation after every final exam during school time was so entertaining! No holiday homework tension,no future insecurities, no contingencies...You thought ,life was safe and secure but who knew this thought is like a raindrop thinking itself safe under a mushroom in the garden's backyard!
  • Each piece of art-theme painting or social poster would be full of ideologies and fantasies then. World unseen is always like a dreamland I guess.
  • You could write poetries full of exaggerated goodness.To articulate them before someone was an honour, without knowing that only few ears listening have real admiration and no malice!
  • Score some good marks in an exam and your news would travel far and wide to the friends and relatives,without discriminating with the fact that you were not actually important for everyone!
  • You would just ignore television-read 'Doordarshan' without even imagining that one day you would associate it with childhood memories and feel so happily nostalgic so as to post links of old serial jingles as 'malgudi days','bharat ek khoj' and many more unscrupulously on face book without hesitation of spamming other's wall.
  • You think of school's farewell and the efforts you took to wear Saree for the 1st time, had a nice goodie goodie title by juniors-even though you had greater attitude problems those days;and you suddenly find yourself in the company of juniors in college where farewell party seems a surprise! Anticipation remains same but because you never care about seniors here so this little gesture appears larger than life!
  • Insecurities, apprehensions, anticipations, failure and fear of near and distant future leave for you crease lines on the forehead , without your being aware of it.
  • You start thinking you have grown old, but it's just a life completing one of its circle.
  • No doubt displacement will always be equal to zero!
