Whether You Win Or Lose , You will be a Rat In The Rat Race

I won't waste time giving an introduction to this topic, it is all evident. We have been running around since the day we were born.The word 'competition' is becoming more and more cliched by the day. We ran to take admission to kindergarten in the perceived best school in the city (even though we now realize it would make any difference whether you attend lower primary school or not), we ran again for admission to Std 1 in the perceived best school and kept running since then: Ran for the school bus , ran back home from the bus stop to pick up a lab coat , ran around copying homework , ran in and out of class in the breaks more for the pending work than for the food , ran around with notes to mug for the test in the next hour, ran after school to keep our presence felt on the sports fields or extracurricular classes , and ran again to and from IIT coaching classes to get admissions in best engineering college.In college, ran from one fest to another to garner CV points and ran in the later years of college for placements, ran to and fro for MBA coaching and finally got a job. But then the race began all over again , looking for better opportunities , better salaries, still dreaming of cracking the CAT. More than a year has passed by and  I am still running the Rat race.

Though I had fallen many a times , but got up dusted myself and ran again to win or to lose at every step; I was in the race all the same. No time to stand and stare , No time to cry , No time to analyze where life is taking me , No time to stop and redo or remake , No time to make a new path , still running the rough old path , still doing the tasks situations demand and priding myself at achieving the results of the preset tasks...

Where am I heading???? Is not the question I have time to answer , the best I can do is to make the best use of the trap I am already in....
