OFFSIDE:BEING AHEAD ISNT ALWAYS AN ADVANTAGE

“Raahein aisi jinki manzil hi nahin Dhoondho mujhe ab main rehta hoon wahin Dil hai kahin aur dhadkan hai kahin Saansein hai magar kyun zinda main nahin Aisi bhi hui thi mujhse kya khata Tune jo mujhe di jeenay ki saza”

I have long thought of writing a book based on my experiences with life, some good some bad. This post of mine is a prelude to a book I always have thought of-

“OFFSIDE:BEING AHEAD ISNT ALWAYS AN ADVANTAGE”

Offside, a familiar term for all the soccer fans, but alien to many people's ears. Offside is a situation in which a player tries to gain an advantage by being ahead of the final line of defense,however the Footballing rules consider this to be a foul and the ball is replayed.

In life too we all try to be ahead of others so as to gain an added advantage for the future. The basic mantra which most of us follow is that being successful in the present paves way for a golden and bright future. However the thumb rule which is generally skipped is at what cost is the success? And do we have enough strength and support left to carry forward? Remember in life too we have a referee, God and he foresees that similar to the game of football none gets a benefit playing the game of life. Some of you may argue that the world has seen an array of rich and successful people, to them I would like to dedicate this story which is an epitome of the real essence of life.

Here is a story of a simple 26 year old man who according to all has conquered the whole world at such a tender age. Being credited as the only person to design a software Shruti which has put an end to the word piracy not only from the human lives but also the dictionaries. At a time when others in his position would rejoice and celebrate, he founds himself at a Crossroad with no idea how to move ahead,whether this is what he dreamed of . He reflects back on his journey, the decisions he made and also whether anything he could have done better.
