On the way to copenhagen

This week i had been to copenhagen...this was actually my second trip, exactly a year later. The last time i was here, i was in a transition phase...just like the traveller who has lost his way and was wandering in the same place over and over, knowing that he wasn't getting anywhere and because of that was getting frustrated. Why frustration? Why cannot he simply try something else? Because that requires backing your instincts and doing something different than what he usually does. Did he do that? A curious reader might ask...let me say that there was no other option left other than to do it...this is my other theory...if something is bound to happen to you, it will happen eventually, no matter how much you try to resist it...just like that annoying salesman who doesn't quit ringing the door bell until you open the door..So, success and failure are not one-time shots...they are recurring opportunities that you need to grab or avoid...In the end, life is not about winning or losing, it is about living, enjoying those little moments of joy, keeping your self intact when you are scared and then backing your instincts and doing things that you shouldn't regret LATER.

This time of the journey was more about a traveler who has finally found a way that was going somewhere and who was zealously working his way up on the path. It was about admiring the scenic beauty on the way, taking the time to take those byways and wander into something beautiful and then coming back to make up for the lost time by taking a quick sprint...it was more entertaining and the changes of wind are surely working...

What do you learn from this? Well, i learnt that in life, there will always be mistakes and that you should never be afraid of making mistakes...in fact, failure is a parcel of life and the only way to avoid failure is to never do anything...the sad part of that is that you will never get to experience life...Apart from all these cliches, i'm strongly becoming a proponent of doing something where you stink so that you never get your head becoming all big and you can appreciate to admire everyone and to recognize the fact that you are not perfect, just like everybody else..

On the whole, this trip has been about reminiscing the old days, seeing that things always have a way of working out for themselves and then thanking god for being there, guiding me in life and helping me to become a better person (although far from where i believe i should be).

Amen!

P.S: I have had some interesting conversations about liberalism v/s conservatism, big government v/s little government, but in the end i'm coming to the conclusion that both have their merits and demerits but the one that looks at things in positive attitude is what i will support (and hopefully god will as well)
