Today while making my way to my aunt’s place through hordes of traffic a really strange thought struck me.
I observed there are some people who look pretty focussed with proper attention to things happening around them while riding/driving as if things are really well mapped out inside their brain. I also observed another way to ride/drive is by the second guess system. You look for where people are going such that you can decide which way to take, how they are going so that you can maintain your speeds accordingly.
Isn’t it synonymous to life ? You can either be the rider/driver out there who knows where he wants to go and gets there no matter what or be the second guesser who acts anticipating others’ actions.
So which rider/driver are you ?

P.S. I hereby declare that I love public transport 😀
P.P.S. A friend had given me similar life-football (soccer) analogy a while back..maybe that’s why it struck me now 😛

All of us 'think' we know what we want, and how to get there… Even though that is derived from watching, following other people. Unless one really 'tries' to not-follow other people, in our own small ways we all are just following.. someone or something.

oh well.. I was inclined more towards being in control of your vehicle (which in this analogy is yourself)..
directions we all have or know instinctively (more or less).. -
Umm.. but you would always have to know where you want to go right? You cannot just drive..
