The Road Always Taken....

Every day in life is no ordinary day....
Well so was today...and that is how i end up with this post...
It all started with filling up of this Step document..listing down unattaind n never reachable goals ,results,strengths n weakness...
but lured by the perks and apprisal it brings i was left with no option but to pen downa hoard of nothings to impress the reader...

But still i coninue to do it...continue to work...continue to live everyday...knowing tis somthing i hardly approve of..
Every other day begins with the hangover of last days work pressures..as i sigh to myself...oh no another day...
And then at Office the battle begins..with the many so called proud technical tools of Microsoft..
First it is DotNet...then the VSS...n of course the less hostile Outlook..
Starting with the technical trash called code..chatting away with long lost friends...and finally venting out all frustrations in the name of Blogging...

I become an engineer...then a software professional...everything is more by chance than choice..
Or perhaps because i never dared to think differently...i just wanted to earn a fast buck...spend it on the entertainmnts and material junks the world has to offer...
n finally be a winner in life...Yes certainly i am a winner...before my peers,before society...i am a winner...
But deep within i miss something...that feeling of accomplishment...
I knew wat in life would have given me that...but somehow i sat back...like the multitude who crib about their work and their daily chores...fettered by the many material and social nothings...

And at this point all i do is to recollect the lines of Robert Frost...

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.......

......I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

as i say to myself
alas....i take the road always taken...n i still wonder why????????
