Twist in the tale

It's hardly been a month and my life seems to have taken a whole turn. For good. Professionally, what seems to be a hurdle, personally, it's called promotion. It's just a matter of time. And on second thoughts, it's actually a long time. Things won't be same. Well, they are never meant to be same. But right now, amidst all the confusion and questions, I'm happy. And that's all it matters. Right?

The next chapter

We are all the writers for the story of our life. Yes, few characters, few experiences, and few tears come unexpectedly, without our knowledge, without our willingness. But then, we write a major part of the story - especially the plot line and the intricacies of emotions. There are times when we read the story ourselves, and other times the audience is someone else. At times, words flow, forming their own tune, and at times silence has a long part to play. There are always confusions, but take a step back and breathe, listen to your heart, and all seems just mountains of mole hill. No doubt, some chapters leave scars behind. But then we, the designer of our story, make the main characters, move on. Because that's the philosophy and truth of life.

And that's how I brought the twist in the plot of my story. For, we all like adventure, suspense, and thrill. The adrenaline rush it gives makes us hooked to the plot. And me being both the reader and writer of my life, I decided to take this venture, to leave behind the corporate world and plunge in to the entrepreneurial world, which seems foolish and a mindless, unplanned decision. But then, the pen is in my hand, I decide the course.

It's not going to be easy, and that's what I want. I am at a nowhere point, at a nowhere place. I just know what I want, the end road I am going to reach. Without a penny in my pocket or food to satisfy my hunger pangs, I must travel. The journey is to be made - be it rough or smooth. And I will. For, listening to my heart, even when the whole world, my husband, the love of my life, doesn't appreciate the idea of me going solo, hasn't deterred me, nor for a second felt I was making a mistake. I am following my heart, and that is all, my friends, the only signal one ever needs. For, only the end of one chapter paves the way for the next one. And smooth plots never touched a soul.
