It goes on...

A few days ago, I was standing outside my primary school building,waiting for the bus to come.
The bus was yet to come, so I thought that I should go inside & meet my teachers. They'll feel surprised & I will also get the satisfaction of meeting them after so many years. I stepped inside the building, looking for some familiar face.

It was a Saturday afternoon & the school was over, some students were playing cricket with writing pad near the veranda. I remembered the days when we used to play cricket in the same place. I always used to score a duck as the opening batsman. Then I used to think that I will score good enough tomorrow, repeating the same, next day also.

Suddenly somebody patted my back from behind. I was startled by that pat & when I turned back I saw a 50 year old man with beard, wearing white shirt & black pant with a lot of wrinkles on his face.
"How are you, Aashay?" he asked me affectionately. "How do you know my name?" I asked him.
He smiled & said, "I'm Mr. Bapat, your English teacher."
"Oh! I'm sorry sir! but I couldn't recognize you at all.. you've changed so much! ".... I said.
He smiled pleasantly & started the conversation again.
"I miss school very much sir, sometimes I remember the fun we all used to have at the school.
Because, in college, nobody cares about you. Neither the teachers nor the students." I said in a heavy voice.
"You'll get used to it" he said with a smiling face.

While I was getting out of the school-building, I read a sentence written on the black board in veranda.
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." - Richard Bach.
The sentence touched somewhere deep in my heart. I was thinking about it, the whole day.
And finally, I realized that, " Yes, this is  the truth of life."

Seasons change & friends move away & life goes on from day to day.
Flowers fade & streams go dry & many times we wonder why.
We try to find the solutions till the end.
We wonder, how can some people randomly disappear from our life?
How come the things We love become less desirable as the time passes away?
The answer is only one, "Life goes on."

Sometimes we can not answer some questions. We are challenged by our principles. We feel agitated. We think, that whatever I'm doing, isn't good. I've mediocre job, mediocre principles & mediocre life. But time is answer of all our questions. We see the giants fall & we also see the transformation of littles into Giants. Because, this is what life is all about, it goes on.

Sometimes, we find happiness & sometimes we feel sad. Our dreams, expectations from life, not always come true. But why, we find later. Time has the answer for every question. What is needed is the patience to wait for the right time.
Because life goes on.
