Scoring A Goal From The Penalty-Mark

Scoring A Goal From The Penalty-Mark
The cold weather is receding at a rapid pace. Very soon , in a couple of weeks, there shall be no signs of the cold winds that were the order of the day a couple of weeks back. The incumbent weather is quite pleasant, but better days are sure to come. I hope she rides on the waves of the pleasant weather that she is to bring with herself, and rings a lot of sonorous bells I want to hear. I can already hear some chimes, but I want to give an ear to the entire melody.

There will be a hot summer following this which is going to be quite uncomfortable, I know.  A spell of cold weather is sure to follow, and the cycle is to continue, although I do wonder when the winters of my life is going to be replaced by a good weather and when will hot wind blow in my life.

I don’t know if I ought to be grateful to my stars for the prolonged spell of cold weather in my life. the cold winters are said to be a lot better than the hot winds in the summers I shall have to bear one day. I don’t know if there is any veracity in this statement. Hot winds shall not be as hot as they are for everyone because everyone doesn’t have to go through the same heat and dust as I have had to. There is an altogether different aura for everyone.

I guess I shall be in a better position to appreciate the warm weather in hot summers that are to come my way if I can absorb a bit of the cold winters without shivering in any way. Even if I shiver and fall ill, it is not going to make a difference to the flow of seasons. There is to be a regular and continuous flow of time, and it is going to bring a cool weather again.

The present spell of cold winters may be an indication of a cool spring and some really hot summers. I don’t think I look forward to a hot summer in my life, but it shall be a good change from the cold weather I see around me today. I shall be in a better position to appreciate the warmth because I have felt the cold weather in its typical way, in ways different from what others have perceived it to be. This way, I shall be rewarded for my patience in a typical way which is going to be better than what others shall get after the spell of cold weather in their life.

Everyone has a bit of cold weather in one’s life, and everyone looks forward to the warm weather that is supposed to herald better days. The hot weather is not going to be pleasant, but it too, like everything else, shall pass. Time shall continue to march on in its quest of an unknown destination, and so will everything in the world. The march is going to be an endless one, and it is to end only when our world   comes to an end one day leaving all of us wondering what went wrong, and where we went wrong.

The truth is nothing went wrong. Everything has followed a master-plan sketched out a long time before even humans existed. The time has faded into ignominy, no one bothers to think about it, and practically, no one can do anything about it. I badly wish I could change some details in the master-plan in a bid to rewind the movie of my life. A lot of details need to be changed, but this is not possible.

The future is a possibility that is not known to any of us. The future may bring her into my life where there is an apparent drought of happiness. I strongly feel she is the only one who can wipe out the incumbent drought in my life. I firmly feel she has all powers to moisturise even the driest dune of sand in Sahara. I may be wrong, but for the time being, it is not a bad proposition if only to keep up my hopes. All my hopes  may be destined to sink in the ocean, but I can’t do anything more than hope.

I only have to peer into others’ life to console myself with the thought of luxuries I enjoy that others don’t. There are several blessings granted to me I take for granted, but I can appreciate them only if I look into the life of those beneath me in the social ladder. This is how I can be grateful for whatever I have been given wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, this is not the road to progress in the worldly sense. For progress to be possible, it is essential to look at those above me in the social ladder. I must feel a bit jealous of those above me, and there should be an anxiety within me to achieve what others have. There should be some amount of stress within me to propel me to the stars my peers are already at. There should be a spirit of healthy competition between me and my peers. There should be some level of satisfaction I must make efforts to get to.

All the stress required to propel someone to the stars is already a part of my being. It only has to have a domino effect on my senses. My senses need to be activated to make me make efforts for getting to the goal-post and kick the ball into the goal-post. Scoring a goal is badly needed for my team to win.  I wish there was some way to rewrite my destiny which has transcribed such struggles in my life before scoring a goal. I have had to be a witness to the consequences of several penalty-corners and have had to bear several penalty-kicks from the penalty-mark.

I  hope I can kick the ball into the opponent’s goal-post and scored a goal for myself soon.
