A Cog in the Life Engine

Life has a plan for all of us. Life has set boundaries. The number of choices at every crossroads we come across are less than what we would like to believe. That is how we have been set up by our environment, by everything we have seen and heard until this point in life. In fact there comes a point when everything we see or hear is dictated by all that we had experienced up to that moment. It is at that moment when you know that your destiny, that your life's route has been fixed irrevocably.
But every now and then someone with great strength of will and with freedom gushing through his veins, shatters this plan. He goes off-road. This man who needs no roads to travel is free. At every path he stands still, life presents him with infinite opportunities. Like a ripple in the pond, he courses through life - in all directions at once. He is truly the king of his destiny. This man can be YOU. All you need to do is step off the life's planned route. The first step is the hardest but you will learn to walk as you did a long time ago.

Half baked.

To be two when you were used to being one. To know that you will forever be incomplete without the other one. The songs float around you. Gently they remind you of the one that completes you. In stars. In skies. In trees and in familiar sounds. In flashbacks and remembered days gone by. She lives in them now. And in today, she haunts you even when she is right in front of you. And when she is not around, the days are half lived and you exist half dead.

The other half of your half baked self. The last piece of the jigsaw. Now all we have to do, kitten, is to find out how to best fit the pieces together.

And little muffin, from sunset to sunrise and horizon to the shore is the expanse of our love. Infinite, deep and unfathomable.
