There was mud everywhere.
Neither a shelter nor a form of life was visible in the vicinity.
The shades of mud, though
captivating, did not evoke the response nature does. There was a rumbling, and
the earth metres away from where I stood caved in. I shrieked. I had
experienced an earthquake in my dream.
Perturbed as I was, the view
outside the window was of little consolation. I could hear the rustling of tree
leaves. I saw green stains of algal growth on the exterior walls of neighbours.
All seemed as it was to be. A feeling of impending gloom had stayed behind.
The thought of making a pivot
had often crossed my mind; to start all over again had pushed it away. The idea
of walking the road less travelled had always scared me. The Universe conspired
against me and pushed me in a different direction.
My aim for the day changed, and
now I was thinking of alternatives. A world of information opened. Here, I
stood staring at the possibilities.
I began to etch a new link.
Humming-
I am walking down the line
that divides me somewhere in my mind.
On the borderline
Of the edge and where I walk alone.
(From, Boulevard of Broken
Dreams)
I began this journey.
The raging storm had left a lot to clean.
Life is more about lemons (They
are sour) than about lemonade.
I was treading the ground; I
still did not know about taking baby steps.
It is unrealistic to think that
career pivots happen within short periods. They need hard work, a realistic
approach, and an audit of one’s skills.
No matter how difficult it
seems, upskilling and resilience are the only alternatives to walk that lonely
road ahead. Once again, I began to work on myself, looking forward to this new
journey.
When life gives you lemons, make a lemonade.
I started mixing sugar, salt,
and ice. It was a refreshing reminder that I could think of making something sweet
and rewarding. Here’s to embracing the journey and making the most of every
opportunity.
