Hi ,

Life has this amazing way of getting you stumped at times. On one of our journeys, we visited this kind of picnic spot where the view was something like the wallpaper on Windows 98. Lush green meadows, snow-capped peaks, frolicking mountains, and a group of sheep walking across a patch of snow, their colors blending as they walked on the white snow.

The kids ran up the hills and slid down the glaciers. It was a fun-filled day, with not a very happy ending. On our way back to the homestay, we were stumped.

A landslide had completely blocked the road, and there was no way to take the car across. What happened then is a story, in short, massive change of plans were on the cards. Change is not expected, yet it is a continuous process and shows up many times on our journey.

Sometimes, like our current situation, these changes are drastic.

There has been a substantial fall in revenue as Facebook doesn't appreciate us talking about broken systems, politics, and has pushed us in a corner :)

Well, humor is a wonderful coping mechanism, but I feel that every setback is a fork in the road. An opportunity either to continue on the same path, where you surprisingly meet another fork, and sometimes even more difficult, or crawl towards a new path that perhaps even brings in deeper purpose, and until you flow in with union with the forces that drive this existence, one seems to be stuck in a cyclic loop..

It's alright to be scared, no one knows what they find on the unknown path, no one knows where it will lead.

There will be thorns, and flowers, stones you may have to dodge, and a passing rivulet that refreshes your senses and thirst.

But if you feel you're trapped, you're stuck in a cycle, your peace and joy seem to be eluding you, it means you're not where you need to be; you're at the fork in the road.
