Droll thing life is.

"Droll thing life is - that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose."
Joseph Conrad, The Heart of Darkness


Life is such a bitch most of the times, that's true. But people can be bitchy themselves, so life can, at best, prove to be a dead race: you can’t really win, but you can at least be a serious threat to it. Give life a hard time and, overall, you’ll do just well.

This is how I deal with the bitchiness of life. Might be wrong, but it is one of the “winning combinations” which has taken me to where I am now:

-I don’t expect freakishly much but I work hard as if I do

-I always have plan B, and plan C for that matter, because I say you should never settle for one plan only since there is never one way to get to the finish-line

-Start locally and on time because nothing is waiting on you, lest you impose

-Sometimes reason fails you but you learn to joggle with emotions

-Never cease to care or try

This is “how I roll” and it has paid off so far- I have a great life. Thanks to the people who have persisted in my life and I won’t mention their names, for they know who they are. Professionally, I have reached some heights and am hoping for more. Actually, I am working towards more. I teach. So, I try to teach this lesson too. As far as I’m concerned, it’s the most important one. You can have it all and have nothing at the same time. The trick is to be happy with who you are and where you are at. To get back to the beginning, life is such a bitch most of the times, but we are all made of that tough and durable fibre which persists.
