i missed it...time to catch the next train.

its all over pradeep, says my eyes.
nothing to worry pradeep....it has just begun, says heart.

whom should i go with?? my eyes or my heart??

let me get started.
i have been rejected by the MIT.

NOT living up to the potential is a crime.

Yes, it is and i am the culprit.

I don't really feel sad for being rejected, but i really feel bad for letting my parents', friends' and especially my EC's hopes down. My dad was initially hesitant but later happy for me when he came to know that i was dreaming of studying abroad. He started saying, "Son, i think you can make it. they need guys just like you."he said that coz he had the same old picture the pradeep who grew before him. But he was unaware how rusty the same pradeep has become in his absence.
Pradeep, you are a relic - said friends. Man you look awesome, you are going to make it - said my EC.
I swear, they were never wrong. Coz they don't see the real me. They get to see a Pradeep+Potential. And this Potential remains to be potential for ever until you live up to it. And finally it really looks ugly when the potential overtakes you. Its all over....yes its all overrrrrrr keeps saying my eyes.

You have got your own role to fulfil in this world.

Be a role model of the real you.

Sometimes I keep thinking, how big this universe is? whats the exact count of the stars in the sky? does any other planet possess life? who is going to find answers for all these Qs?
Yea...i keep thinking i finally fall asleep and dream of answering these questions myself to this world. I wake with the same passion. I am going to achieve something is my motto when i step out of my house. The day passes on and when i look back ......i realise, DAMNNNN i did nothing.
yesssss THIS "nothing" is a tricky. NOTHING for me could be something for you....if not your neighbour or at least his neighbour. It really makes sense when you live your life and keep enjoying the way you do it. Coz you mark your own way when you live your life. No matter you win or lose, you should pass on. There are many ppl looking at you and a few in that "many ppl" are following you. It has just begun, Yes it has just begun.......says my heart.

Whom should i go with? Let me take the help of my brain.
Eyes go with more of an instinct.
But heart is stable enough to show you the next step.

I am not going to end my journey! I have just missed one....time to catch the next train!

Remember, there is always a tomorrow....but you pave a path for a better tomorrow when you are good today!

Signing off with dampen eyes but a strengthened heart.
