Old Friends!!!

Why do you always feel that the old times were better?
Even though in those very old times you felt the same!!!

Why do you feel that those old friends were dearer?
Even though your musings/outings were much the same!!!

Why do you feel that those old places were prettier?
Even though they were visited not by choice !!!

Why do you feel that those old games were merrier?
Even though it consisted of a throwing a few marbles here and there?

Why do you feel that those old festivals were grander?
Even though you spent hardly 1/100th of what you spend today!!!

What is the reason for this so called sense of Nostalgia???
Is it the present is uncertain while the past has frozen?
Or does it have it's root in some form of self pity for the present situation you are in!!!

Whatever it is!!!
I don't care!!!
Becasue I know!!!
That Tommorrow, all of today will become happier, dearer, merrier, prettier and grander!!!

Too big for my shoes????

Is it because of the pride that has corrupted my soul even though I have been as vigilent as I can because of having gone to IIMB?
Or is it the the "so called Knowledge of Everything" that an MBA degree provides?

Or is it a function of my ego that was perceptible to even my kindergarden teacher?
Or is it called "Having the big dream" which is touted as a pre-requisite to doing big things in life?

Or is it that I am a man who likes to think that he should have answers to everything?
Or is it the desire to advise the world which stems from a nature that is a cocktail of noble intention and a belief that you are wiser than the others?

Or is it the curiosity of knowing the unknown whether it matters to you or not?
Or is it just that I like to mind others' business more than your own?

Whatever it is!!!!
I always think that
I am ready to take the next challenge!!!
Others think that
I am growing too big for my shoes!!!
