Arbitrary Notions

I t was back in 11th standard that I first came to know about blogging. The idea appealed to me as at that time I wanted to show my writing to the world. I thought I really am writing well ( this thought was helped by my teacher praising me for one of my stories written in exam ). I did not understand anything about it. I wrote a story, published it on blogger and waited. I waited and waited for a very long time, logging in to check how many page views I had. It was disappointing ( Very, very disappointing ).

C ollege has just finished and this is what has been going on in my mind... I stand here again, On these never-ending crossroads of life. Here I face again, Many choices, Of which choosing one will shape my future, Take me to where I am destined to go. I have to decide again, And fast, But I don't want to. For once I want to let destiny choose me, To see how everything plays out. But it does not matter, These crossroads will come again, And I will have to choose, Better choose wisely now than regret later.

I f you go on to Google and type the words ‘Rich Meaning’ ( alternatively you can find that dictionary and look up the meaning ), you will find that all the different meanings given there essentially mean ‘to have abundance of something’. This something can be of culture, money, colour, land, people, or anything and everything else under the sun. Sadly, and more importantly it is a matter of big concern that this word has come to be associated mostly with money.
