Second Chance

Second chance is a beginning. Sounds strange?

Let’s go back in time. When did you realise that you had missed a golden opportunity? When you had already missed it?

We tend to say, “I should had”, “that was the right time”, “I missed it” etc, etc. If you have ever said it, remember my friend that, while you regret you are at the verge of missing the second chance, if appropriate action is not taken.

The very fact of ‘realising’, in itself is an opportunity to make good the loss. Realization is essential and it precedes actions. Let’s go back to the first opportunity. You couldn’t grab it for some reason; you missed it and had to face some loss. Correct? Of course yes or else you wouldn’t have bothered to think about it. So what’s gone with time will not return; essentially in the same form. It is wise not to expect – the ditto; but to encash the second chance.

In our day-to-day routine you may not have exercised last week. Does that stop you from exercising next week? The moment you know you couldn’t, an opportunity pops up saying “you can”. Newton’s law – equal and opposite reaction…couldn’t – can, wasn’t – will……

Till our last breath we are given ‘n’ number of opportunities to improve, achieve and practice.  Don’t be slaves of time. Good intention in itself is the right time. So if you have missed the opportunity once or more believe me it’s not the end but a beginning.

Try it today! Make a dish, surprise your mother, help someone, raise your voice against injustice or simply go for a leisure walk. Once you learn to grab the second chance, you will become happily busy to find many. Good Luck!

Who am I?

The first news I came across in 2020 was about a Bollywood movie crossing 100 Cr mark. This happened when Pragun mentioned about a blog hop she was hosting based on Bollywood. The prompts were thoughtful but filmy. As an individual, I am filmy but my writing is not. That’s when I noticed this inseparable aspect of movies. In this post, the climax will reveal the identity of the protagonist, until then enjoy the suspense. Who am I? I am sweet but most of the time I am salty. Pls note, you have met me and you have liked me. I am feather-light, my figure is unique. You and I have watched many movies. In the park, by the lake or at home. You & your family prefer me to kill your boredom. I love your family, they are too filmy, That’s the reason I hang around with your family. Your mother turns 16, when she sees Shahrukh on screen Then you father quips, with some singing. ‘Aaane wala pal, jane wala hai’, says your father In response ‘ye kaha a
