"Life"
By now, the moment someone says this word, your mind gets filled up with all sorts of ideas. Most of them of philosophical nature. Whenever I think of the word, I picture myself facing the setting sun, wind blowing into my hair, trying to wonder what my life would be like. Its that typical portrait shot.. like they show in the movies.
But seriously, its always amusing to just wonder what really is the meaning of our existence. I remember when I was in lower KG, I would ask my father " Why did god make me? ". And he would smile and say " So that you can be a good boy and do good things..". From lower KG, to class 4th ( after which I stopped asking him :P).. the variable "Good things" would be " To do well in that particular class in school" :P.
I think on almost all of my birthdays, I have definitely spend some time wondering about the same thing again and again. " What is life? Is it supposed to be like how mine is right now? Can be any better/ worse?". After some time, I realized that there is no fixed answer to that question. But after a few years, I improvised on it, and now I think that life is actually the things around you. Its not about what your future will be, or what was past has been. There is no correct way of living life. Its not a universal constant. Its unique to a person. For me, my life is the friends I have, the sleep habit I follow, the playlist I listen to most. It also is the exams in which I do pathetically, or the ones which go good. The food I eat, the problems I face, the places that I like to visit, the websites on my bookmars tab, the laptop whose performance I always try to increase by uninstalling useless stuff, the version of Apex DC I use, the brand of perfumes I like, the "movies" folder on my laptop, my sony mp3 player, the novel on my shelf which I never read, the empty water bottle on my table which I dont want to fill right now because im lazy, the poster on my wall which says " Never Give Up", the blog on which I try to stay active, my facebook profile page which I have not updated for ages, the game of "Angry Birds", my awesome creative subwoofer, the Levis jeans which I haven`t washed in this sem ( :P ) .... and such other routine things.
If "life" was a differential equation, then I would say, according to me, the constant of integration in the solution is the period of our life when we are born. Because every single one of us is born the same way, naked, it remains constant for each one of us. But the variable part, is unique. So, stop thinking so much about it and go and live your life... i.e all the small routine things that you do daily and you will see the world as a much better place to live in.. :D
