... Rail Gaadi ...

Few mercedes , a couple of bentleys, few dozens of 

BMWs wizzed pass us as we stood there , silent.. 

This silence marked the end of a long discussion on "life"

and was waiting for the final summarization on the one

hour talk...

And then he said :

" Yaar, apni life na, ek train ki tarah hoti hai...

   Uska ek track hota hai, aur agar aapney us

   track se bahar jaaney ki koshish ki, to pakka

   aapki train patri se utar jayegi..."

(Our life is like a train, which moves on a pre-decided

  track. And if we try getting off that track, then this

  train gets derailed....)

These words of wisdom came from Sanay, my 

kindergarten pal, while standing on the sides of a

bustling Hyderabad road.

Quite well put , i shall say, from a person who i would

say has seen quite a lot of those highs and lows of life..

"Isiliye yaar, bus Bhagwaan se ye prayer karni chahiye

 ki uskey devdoot , joki her track change karney wali

 jagah per khadey hain, wo sahi samay per sahi track

 change ker dain... taaki humari ye life ki train apney

 Final Destination pahunch sakey...."

(That's why my friend, one should just pray to God so that

  His Angels, that are deputed at every place where the track

  gets changed, change this track to the correct path, at the 

  correct time.. So that our train of life can reach its 

  Final Destination...)

Never knew my friend could be so deep and observant in his

thoughts..For me, he had always been that 'kid-on-the-block'

who had always taken life with a pinch of salt... But as has 

found by me and zillions of others earlier, one doesn't need to 

get his/her hair greyed to speak out these words of wisdom..

Anyone can be a Fountainhead... 

U .. Me.. Hum...
