Entangled

You are sitting in front of your laptop and suddenly the urge rises in your mind, to listen to a song. The desperation surprises yourself, but before you could understand the intensity of that urge, you find yourself searching the headphones. You think for the moment that for all these times, these were laying in front of me then what was in the fraction of that moment which changed everything and now you put them on hurriedly. You start the song and plug them in. Before you could respond to the melodious voices and rhythmic music, you see the wires of headphone are all entangled. You want to enjoy the song but your mind tells you to clean up the wire mess. You pick up the intertwined dump of wires and try to clean up the knots. For the first minute, you try feverishly, in the back of your mind you realize that the song is going on and you are missing all the beautiful pieces of music. Still you concentrate hard on the knots. Suddenly you realize your temples are wet. Am I sweating? You ask yourself startled. You know that you are tensed, but you can not grasp the notion that few knots are making you tense. Then you realize that its not the wire knots, its all about your life. You think your life has many such aspects which you need to work on. The more you try to work out things, more complex they become. A simple, trivial thing suddenly takes shape of giant trouble. The entangled knots seems to clench your throat invisibly and you struggle for the breathe. The more you force, more tightens the grip.

All you need is to take a deep breathe and search for the endpoints of the headphones. Same applies to life. Rather than smashing here and there, you need to get to the root of the problem and improvise your decisions. If you work out things one by one, there comes time when you achieve a skill, at that time, how much ever may the wires be entangled, you will never fail to open it. Eventually, we need to understand one thing, life is full of opportunities, rather than feeling sorry for the lost opportunities if you take care of oncoming ones, you will find yourself humming to melodious music of optimism. After all, if you miss the song, you can always play it back.

"If you don't buy a new toothbrush after every 3 months, you will end up with a stinking mouth and decayed teeth..! Then you realize that it's not just about your toothbrush, it's about your life!" :D
