just another face in the crowd
I guess I sound way too abstract when I define myself as just another face in the crowd. I mean what do you expect when you are asked to write about yourself in 2-3 lines or on a whole page for that matter!! Everytime I define myself, am either too short of definitions or am introducing a totally new individual. People so firmly come up with quotations and lyrics of beautiful songs when asked to define themselves. What is it that I am missing...???Am I just being too detached with myself or am I just being honest..?
Everyday I see umpteenth faces...and at the end of the day, each face is just another face in the crowd.It is just a few who matter and the rest just dissolve into the unknown.
I am always on the verge of discovering something new about me each day. That something which defines me today is temporary.
When I feel that am a passive creature, my outbursts at uneven times proves me wrong.
When I feel like living my life for the less fortunate, the sight of children begging right infront of me makes me bitter.
Coming to that point again...Do you too feel fortunate that you are not in their position? Sleeping in the streets, no home to go back to..?Not knowing when you are going to have your next meal..?Do you thank God that you are not in their position???
I do...I thank God...but does that make me feel any better???
I feel guilty that I am where I am and they are not there where they want to be.
But then again, this thought too vanishes once the traffic signal goes green and those faces are like just another face in the crowd.

Real truly spoken...we r nothin but mere living bodies...who have just about carved about an existance in this world.....keep the posts comin.....
As they say "one man cannot take the burden of the world" ...so it really is no use getting depressed at our lack of power to effect anything...some say its karma, some its inderdependence...some say its absurdity...some like me are not sure...
@debanuj

@thinley
you are not alone..noone's sure!!
Good read,, well written. " I would definitely agree that we are one among the zillion people around us " in a very very broad perception, but I believe what makes u different is more important. Reading by your lines, You say ppl use song lines etc to define themselves, which u dont want to ,, why ? coz u want to be different... Have u ever wondered why we like few colours and not all, coz its different from the rest, Have u wondered why two people in the world dont look alike, Why two DNA structures dont match, According to me " Its what different you are in your own way which makes you stand our, and drive you through life " . You could say you are a part of the crowd but does that drive you ????? if it does, then again ur being different... LOL , Good read again.
@Nikhil

Maybe I am trying to be different, maybe I am not. Thats what makes me a part of the crowd.

Thnx Khusboo,that was a beautiful comment.
@aehas
you are so right!!
u too keep writing..
atleast, atlast there is someone like u who can think themselves as ordinary. do u know in the world around us what's the most difficult thing? to find an ordinary person. no one thinks themselves as ordinary. but one who is courageous enough to accept one's own ordinariness does not remains ordinary. one more thing I would like to add. It's good that u r filled with gratitude towards god. well written. keep writing.
@amit
