VROOM VROOM.

Life: It goes on….

When I was told to write something about ‘Life in general’, I came home, paused for a moment, and thought ‘What’s life in general’?

And I came across the most valid, coherent answer. It may sound very obvious and you might go all ‘Ah, I knew this one!’

But, “It goes on”.

That, my friends, is the most general thing about life.

From the time you’ve suited up until the final lap, you’re racing on one of the toughest racecourses you can ever find. With pit stops every now and then,

->You refuel. (get your morale back up)

->Get your tyres changed. (fetch new change in life)

->Acquire mechanical adjustments. (repair your reflexes)

->And the most momentous reason for a pit stop in a peculiar genus, a driver change. (Place the wheel in the hands of a sound afflatus to ameliorate life so you can conquer the course)

For life to move on swimmingly, you have to sleep and dream about it! Cause it’s not likely that it could befall.

Now you all know what life in general is. But what are the contributing factors for this phenomenon? They are manifold! The style in which your life is going on depends on every petty affair. The environment, the people, the places and the attitude.

Let’s take the race for example, different drivers, different teams, different kinds of race tracks and the goal of every single driver is the same, to vanquish the second. Apply the same logic to life: You’re set to race in life with the appropriate guidance of the pit crew. There will be hurdles, there will be accidents. But that doesn’t mark the end of your journey. Some hurdles are a part of the race and being the driver that you are, you have to implement ways to tackle them. Whereas, accidents happen due to things like negligence, over confidence and lack of ability to foresee the happening of a mishap.
