A race to lose

The world is out there fighting a rat race,
each one outdoing the other, 
but no one really knowing wat they want
even when they are the winner... 

One fine day then, they wake up 
not too soon though i must say 
to discover that they have lost that one beautiful life 
fighting for what they never wanted anyway 

but when they realise this, its too late 
and all they can do is be resigned to fate 
Is there anyone who stop by to question, 
the stupidity of our daily actions the senselessness of our fight for perfection? 

you've got only one life to live, 
live it such that when the time comes and 
ur whole life flashes before your eyes 
let thr not be any regrets but all along only smiles :)

देखने में रास्ता छूट गए हैं सब नज़ारे,
मिल गई मंज़िल मग़र कब मिलेंगे अब नज़ारे।

नहीं थी देनी फुर्सत गर देख पाने की हमें,
रास्तों के बगल मे क्यों दिए थे रब नज़ारे?

पहुँच कर भी मंज़िल पर हारे हुए से हम रहे,
पीछे खड़ा खड़ा ही पर देख रहा है जग नज़ारे।

मंज़िल यों बेज़ार है कि ख़याल ये भी आता है
सच है मंज़िल या कहो फिर सच कहीं थे बस नज़ारे।


One of my frnd's poem. So relevant!!!

Very well said ... i think being in a rat race is fine unless one loses his identity and runs just for the sake of it ...

The problem with being in a rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat.
