Episode 62 : The trap of life
Yeh kaun aa gaya
Rah mein meri
Jisko kabhi main
Paa na saka
Rejection is a bitter pill to swallow.
Rejection and acceptance are two sides of a coin called life. And all the times I tossed this coin, more often than not, rejection stared back at me.
You would think that regular exposure to something hardens you. I wonder if it is the same of rejection. Because I haven't hardened.
It started like any other. The initial meetings, the building of rapport. I began to get the feeling this is what I wanted all my life, in spite of my cynicism.
I began to dream. Of a happier life. Of a better tomorrow. I liked the feeling I got. I fell headlong into it.
Kal jo thaa ab nahin par
Tha toh haseen aur
Us husn mein main
Tha dhal gaya
I did not see it coming. A day that started out fine, came crashing down a few hours later. And the day was never the same again. Will life be, that I do not know. I have to pick up the broken pieces, discard them and try again.
To not dream.
"I am sorry but this will not work out."
Leaves you with a bitter taste in the mouth. And a lot of questions with no answers.
Why did it go wrong?
Why did this have to happen?
Vaade jhoote tu ne kiye
Kasme kha ke tum bhoole
Woh sab ek saraab tha
Woh sab tera jaal tha
Afterthought : The lyrics are from 'Pyaar ka jaal' by Aaroh. I am beginning to like this band, too bad they broke up. If you (who knows who you are) ever read this, thank you for introducing me to their music.

If the same thing keeps happening over and over again, the bitter pill says, maybe it is time to think out of the box. being ruthlessly honest, not self depriciating or ego boosting, but honest. to see things as they are, rather than how you'd like them to be - in excited or depressed state of mind. the bitter pill says, grow up.

better luck next time - but that sounds too cliched. it ll need a lot of courage before u try ur luck next time. so may u have all the courage u need, but then u shd want it first, and get over that cynicism. so may u be willing to experiment.......
u see thats a vicious circle.
may u break free.

The same thing here refers to rejection, not the situation that brought the rejection.
There was a time when I could do something about it. I did.
Now, rejections come from situations that are not under my control, from situations I cannot influence. And these situations are happening too often for my comfort.

"There's nothing wrong with you, you're okay,
it's only because things don't always go your way,
that you feel down.
Hey what you waiting for?
Don't think so much about everything
and let the day take over
It ain't that hard to do.
It's a beautiful day outside,
but you don't know how to fly."
