One thing I’ve learnt being in the cosmic drama for little over three decades is that one can never predict ‘what is in store’. The unchanging principle of life is, ‘This too shall pass’, stated otherwise, ‘Change is lurking around the corner’. For the past 7 years or so, I’ve been through many changes – half of them pleasant, which were the planned changes and the other half, as could be guessed, were heart-breaking. I had to go through changes personally and officially and sometime together. They are periods of confusion, anxiety and mixture of all turbulent emotions.

However, I’ve also come to appreciate the cosmic script, in that, there is always a melody waiting to be sung as you play along. True, the old memories visit you and make you nostalgic; but if you fix your eyes on the future and enjoy the present, it is a good play, if not an exciting one. By the time one gets accustomed to the present scene, it changes. Change, change, change is all left in life. Play with it to enjoy, believing that the script will be a fair one as the story unveils. Gains may not be exact compensation for the losses. Nevertheless, on an overall scale, the script tends to be fair. Well, I did come across a very good article yesterday about change. I could place myself through the stages that are specified in the article. I also remembered a ramble of mine:

Changes are inevitable
Some builds you
Some breaks you
None passes you
Without favouring you
For one shapes you
Another sharpens you
In all, changes change you

So if you are going through a pleasant one, enjoy it fully as it becomes a status quo; if it is an unpleasant one, keep your chin and know that, ‘This too shall pass’.
