Unicorn

Noun: unicorn 'yooni'korn An imaginary creature represented as a white horse with a long horn growing from its forehead. Though the popular image of the unicorn is that of a white horse differing only in the horn, the traditional unicorn has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hoofs, which distinguish him from a horse. Interestingly, these modifications make the horned ungulate more realistic, since only cloven-hoofed animals have horns.

Life goes on ...

Life goes on. People come in and leave. Yet life goes on. Some leave indelible impressions and yet some others leave fragrances of their thoughts that linger on for quite some time after they are gone. New people come in. Some make life easy, some don't. Some like me, some don't. Some people are here because necessities have brought us together. Some people are here because fate brought us together. Some are here because I chose to be with them. Yet some others are here because God willed that our hearts be blended together. We become best of buddies. I take everything for granted. I take solace in the myth that he will be with me forever. Then one fine day he leaves. Life goes on. Not until that moment do I start to miss his company. Then starts my wait for the person who comes next into my life. It is always a guessing game. Whether he is fit for me or he calls me a misfit is what I want to see. I stay at the same place trotting around at the same pace. Some body else comes in. Some share the same passions as mine. While some others might have passions that I might find interesting. Somebody else might dismiss my passions as wild goose chases. Some say Iam dumb. Some say Iam too good. I know Iam neither and fall somewhere in between. Some try to influence my life and the decisions I make while some get influenced by me. I borrow mannerisms, slang and habits from people around. Likewise some might borrow mine. There are some whom I trust with my life and there are some who trust me with theirs. There are some who take me for granted and there are some who don't. There are some people who take my restraint for a sign of weakness while there are some who respect the same. There are some who misunderstand me while I misunderstand some. There are situations where I burn the bridges and never let them in again while there are some who burn the bridges and not allow me in ever again. There are some whom I ignore even though they are still a part of my life and there are some who ignore me while Iam still a part of theirs. Not talking to them is my way of expressing dissent while hitting me or ignoring me is theirs. I keep my hands tied because I know everything is just a passing phase in my life. Today they are there tomorrow they are not! I keep drawing circles around myself in every phase of my life and add a select few whether they want to be in or out is their wish - not mine. What matters to me is that I have nurtured a handful of relationships who make my life happy and bring joy into my mundane existence. I know that even though they may not be here with me right now they will be always there for me. I will be always there for them. Paths keep crossing and I keep learning from everyone around whether good or bad. Learning is what that completes me. Observations is what sharpens my mind. Iam selfish at times. Iam the all-giving-up at times. Life goes on. Change is permanent. Love me or loathe me. Iam the only one eternal in my life and nobody else. Life goes on ...
