Clean Slate!!!!

No, I am not a believer of making any New Year resolutions or for that matter any resolution at all. But still sometimes one feels to start afresh.



I was playing with the kid in my neighbor’s house, (not yet 2 years old) , I was writing and trying to teach him something, but he used to invariably always erase it from his slate. Even when he wrote the very next moment he would erase it. He loved seeing the clean slate…and then I thought, we all sometimes need that clean slate…to start a new beginning…. leaving behind those prejudices, to start looking at things in a newer way.


Don’t you all feel that one day you just want to run away from the known land to the realms of a journey? A journey to discover a new place, find new people, find newer ideas, find the same freshness that the sun rise gives us when you see it in making the early morning dew glitter.


I am so overwhelmed with the whole idea of starting of from scratch…a clean slate, an empty page of a writing pad, the new pages of an unread book, the not ventured path.


Memories are always good to keep, but one must not get too caught up in the past that you fail to look at yourself once in a while. When you reach the dead end, we all must always be open to change our path. But if you reach the crossroads then make use of your wisdom to choose the best path for yourself… The best path that you venture into may not have been treaded before, but allow yourself to make the new discovery, who knows may be that will take you towards your destination.


Have you ever seen the river? It decides its own course, you will; find it flowing undeterred amidst all the rocks that come its way and amidst all the twists and turns and mountains and hills. Did you ever question – what is it that makes the river flow – just flow with no concern of the terrain? It’s the same quality we must learn, to be fearless, face the challenge of making a new beginning and carving our own path on our way towards our destination.


So, I plan to make the new beginning today and traverse the unknown path and venture into a journey to remember…
