Have I lost you already?
Are you with me?
Don't worry, navigating English is easier than choosing a TV show—trust me, I've spent more time scrolling than I'd like to admit!
Let's dive into why this language makes us all feel like we're simultaneously Shakespeare and a confused tourist with a pocket dictionary.
Lets decode the linguistic rollercoaster called - The Road Not Taken !
Find the Irony ?
Hint : The Road Most Travelled By !
POEM authored by MYSELF (Sree Vidya Pillai)......
Inspired by Robert Frost...
Inspired by Robert Frost...
In the realm of choices, the road not taken calls,
Where freedom whispers in echoes down forgotten society,
For since '2008, when father's light did fade,
I've wandered in this unknown darkness for many years,
Where freedom whispers in echoes down forgotten society,
For since '2008, when father's light did fade,
I've wandered in this unknown darkness for many years,
All alone where shadows played.
Familiar is this path, its twists and turns I know,
Yet your suggested road, the one that is most travelled,
Yet your suggested road, the one that is most travelled,
A tempting, false plateau,
Pseudo security, a mask of fleeting ease,
But I am no pawn in this game that is Fake,
Pseudo security, a mask of fleeting ease,
But I am no pawn in this game that is Fake,
I dont want to take a chance with what is Fake.
Freedom lies on the Road Not Taken,
Inside the stories yet untold,
For on the road not taken, my spirit finds its flight,
Embracing the unknown with all its might.
For on the road not taken, my spirit finds its flight,
Embracing the unknown with all its might.

Hey.... In March 2018... I met with some shadows from Jonathan's Flock.
"When you go to the seaside you see gulls (Jonathan's Flock) always squabbling over a single French fry or a bread crust, JUST THINK, 'How they squabble over nothing!'
Have you seen people fighting for FOOD AND SEX like the gulls in Jonathan's flock : If they only got out of their narrow mindsets they would realize what riches awaited them.
This FLOCK will HAUNT me FOREVER !
I have GONE THROUGH the FLOCK ;
There were moments when life threw me to the floor, leaving me shattered and vulnerable.
I've been knocked down by the weight of abuse, derogatory remarks, bullying, mocking, insults—that have scarred deeper than I could have imagined.
The damage to my career, the path which meant character assassination.
I have GONE THROUGH the FLOCK ;
Yet, amidst emptiness, loneliness, and bleakness, there remains a flicker of resilience.
From Grief to Gratitude.
Between February 2024 and July 2024, Nature gave me a second CHANCE.
In 2018, I struggled to dispel the shadows that clouded my path, but this time, I successfully banished them out of my life for good.
This time I was able to prove that - "IAM NOT WHAT THEY CHOOSE TO SEE IN ME".
THE JOY OF FREEDOM !
Iam all set to take up ICF credentials (ACC ; PCC ; MCC ) to become a PROFESSIONAL COACH - Planned for 2025.
My stories should become the stories of FREEDOM !
The road ahead remains uncertain, but I know that with each step forward, I will be reclaiming My-Self.
I shall be telling this in SIGH somewhere AGES and AGES hence :
Two Roads diverged in a wood and I-I Took the one LESS TRAVELED BY, and that had made all the DIFFERENCE !
Iam exactly where I NEED TO BE !
Lets end the week with a wonderful Indian Poem !
By Amitabh Bachchan
What about a Beautiful Song !
I may wait for the storyteller to accompany me on this journey, but whether I find companionship or not, I refuse to abandon this path. I will navigate this path alone, seeking solace in the quiet moments and strength in the belief that I will emerge stronger, even if the journey is solitary and the road ahead uncertain.
