Lets run....

Do you feel like going on a little jog?
or do you feel like going on a little run?
If you feel so , let me know coz I am running , from now on, everyday, every night, every moment of my remaining existence, I am gonna run. It is going to be tiring to say the least but considering the tremendous benefits a run offers, I gues it'll be worth it.
We'll not be running from life or for life for that matter. We'll be running amidst life, with all those beuatiful spectacles of life spread around us, with a stream of all the laughs and tears of yester years, with all the picture frames hanging loosley on the sidewalk, watching us in our lonely pursuit.
We'll not be running for any reason but then we'll not be running without a reason also. The run... the sweat..the pain will be reasons in themselves. Each drop of sweat becoming the reason for the next drop of sweat to flow, each tired step becoming reason for the next step and each painful thought becoming a reason for the next laugh.
We'll run hard, we'll stretch ourselves to the limits.... yes there will be times when we'll feel tired, when we'll feel like going back to where it did not start or ending it there and then. But we shall not give up for this run is not a part of life, its the life itself. And stopping midway means ending the life which you and I may not entirely want to do...atleast at this point of time.
But yes, there'll be times when we'll have that strange feeling... when we'll feel like .... like I do not know like what. But I am sure we'll able to make out when are we feeling like "that" coz the pain on the face will testify for itself. That will be the time when we'll take a break, when we'll shut ourselves in a room, throw off the running shoes, hold a candle close to eyes and look for that single moment of truth to break the silence of darkness.
and then we'll get up and we'll run again, for this run, as I said earlier, is not a part of life...its life itself.
I know no one is ever going to read whatever I have written here. And actually this is doubly sad as it is my last post ever on a blog. It feels as if after 20 years of test cricket you are retiring among empty stands a sullen silence.
but never mind, things go wrong and then they go wrong again and they keep going wrong till they cant go wrong one more time.... and then..... and then they go wrong again.
But we shall not worry about it... coz we've a long run to worry about... a long and lonely run where in words of a good friend " better things wait for us... things we were born to do". I just wish this run wasnt so lonely but I guess this is what I have to offer. take it or leave it. your call.
