Innings Declared

Retrospection is a wonderful thing they say, and indeed it is. For if it had not been for retrospection, I would have never had realised the attachment that I had with this place.

Retrospection gives you the time and opportunity to relive those moments which went by in a flash when you were too busy flashing the latest news on Satyam.
Retrospection gives the opportunity to take stock of those things which u missed when you were too engrossed in the stock prices. Retrospection gives a chance to enjoy those friendships once again...

Yes, retrospection is a wonderful thing.

Idle time and an ideal brain is a potent combination, and perhaps that is why I realised that the moments that have gone by were, perhaps, one of the most enjoyable of my life... and yes, I am not exaggerating. For the sceptics I have enjoyed even those really really long sessions... Perhaps, if those things had not happened, my life would not have changed its course. And this is the beauty of retrospection. You can look back at the most positive aspect of even the worst moments of your life, and that is the key.

Thanks to retrospection, I still have those friendships and friends which were lost in the hullabaloo of the present. I still have those good - for - nothing discussions which happened over a round of tea, and several rounds of cigarettes... and yes, alongside Milds, 555 has found a permanent place in my lungs.

And as I pad up to face the music on a completely new pitch, the question that haunts me ... Should I miss something/somebody?

Perhaps Yes, Perhaps No.

Yes, because I missed several opportunities in my last innings... opportunities that would perhaps never come knocking again.

Yes, because I failed myself, and others to an extent... Perhaps, it was not anybody's fault, rather a consequence of circumstances. What I wanted, was not what they wanted, and What they wanted, was not what I wanted.

Yes, because there were several things/matters to which I could not put a full stop to. Or lets say, I could not complete them... (amongst several other thing(s), SBS).

Perhaps No... I dont think I'll miss anything/anybody, because all(everything/everybody) I wanted to miss, is always with me, either framed in my memory, or my phone's.

Adios!!!

    What I like about it most is its ability to direct the mind to reminisce the past while still being in the present!
