SOMETHING I LOOK AT-222
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

DAYS AFTER-18

All through your life
You have been sprinting breathlessly 
In pursuit of goals set by yourself 
Reached many,  missed a few 
But have these made any difference 
To the quality of life you led?

All along 
You have been motivating yourself
To remain in the contest 
Winning has become so important 
You have forgotten the rules of the game 

Have you achieved 
What you desired 
Or your entire life has been 
A meaningless pursuit in search of something 
Which eluded your grasp?

All these years
Are you at peace with yourself?
Are you satisfied the way you are
Or find yourself sadly lacking 
In more than one way?

Now you have all the time in the world 
Sit and analyse
What you require from life?
Are you anywhere close to the beauty of life
Or made a total mess of it?
Gather yourself and see
Where you went wrong
And how to make up for the shortfall?
