Aim? Achievement?

Tsk tsk. That part where I lament for having missed yet another month. But what the hell, I really didn't even notice time flying by.

Anyways, hello to the blog world. Aah. It feels good to write again. I'm not implying a hiatus of a year. But one a month is kinda widely spaced apart and no matter where I write, its not like I make an online account of it. Ok, i'll simplify that. I missed writing. :)

Thought of some random rambling to do tonight, here. I know I've missed out on accounting many a important detail that happened this year so far, and gosh, its already been 1/3rd of this year.

I was wondering on my way back from college today. That reminds me, I always loved traveling. Never had I imagined I'd have to travel this long everyday. Destiny heard it in a different way, I guess. Oh hell, I must've lamented hell lot of times over my traveling. That was not what I intended saying anyways.

Achievements. Ambitions. Aims. Its all a very clichéd thing that all of us have heard, few of us have 'achieved' or few of us have 'tried to'. Be it anything, in any field. All said and done, sometimes, it feels like utter nonsense to me. Its not like money where most would want to make a million more after a million, or a trillion more after one. But achieving something is different.

Its like you plan for a really long time, the time scale depending upon the plan, exponentially related, and in most cases, a careful execution. Be it in love, in music, in art, in any form, maybe not so much time in research, or you'll be too late for the train there. But my point is, you plan to reach a goal. Its all hunky-dory and exciting, maybe at times challenging and demoralizing, but a strong minded person would still get there. What next?

I get lost here many times. What do we do after we achieve? Make new goals brushing aside what we already have is the right solution I can think of. Maybe that is the only way out of it, for a person who likes challenges. For, the others might simply revel in the momentary success and forget what to do next. That is when it gets meaningless.

Achievements are again very relative. Modesty and honesty apart, I really haven't been to that state where in I think I've to get to a different level. The first level aim is itself growing as wide as the atlantic (or is it the pacific?) that makes me wonder every time if I'll get there ever. Maybe with doing many things and stressing myself out to the point where my body and mind demanded rest, I've learnt the hard way that no matter how good one is at multitasking, he has to be equally good or even better with having patience. Its no child's play managing umpteen tasks. Expectations only play spoilsport.

So, there it is, a feeling of completing a blog. An achievement? Depends on how you look at it. Haven't been writing since 4 years or so for nothing. It all is relative eventually, I still maintain.
