The Return Journey

People in hurry, don't realise that you cannot make curry in a hurry ! If you try to do so (and ask any Chef de Cuisine), you will never get its appearance, aroma, taste, texture, overall balance of flavour and its presentation, right !!! Despite all care, you may sometimes go wrong. Abandon and reboard , is the only way forward.

As soon as you realise that you have gone wrong, it is better to immediately alight and board the journey to its right dirrction.

Unfortunately, the procrastinating mind is also a frequent companion to unrealistic hope. Despite realising that the journey is going wrong, the unrealistic mind throws up some improbable hopes to the gullible doer who decides to (despite of realisation) continue on the wrong journey hoping for magic to happen.

Despite realising that one is on a wrong train, such a person starts imagining - what if the train driver for inexplicable reasons, suddenly decides to change his tracks and take the train to the wrong direction which is your desired right destination ??? Thus such a person waits and continues waiting in perpetuity with a hope in his heart and a prayer on his lips for magic to happen and the driver to inexplicably decide to take a wrong turn and go to your destination instead !

Promise you, it will not happen though I profoundly believe in luck, miracles and serendipity. But for that belief to continue, one does not have to abandon maturity, practicality and logic.

As soon as you realise that you have boarded a wrong train, you must alight. Don't drag on. Don't let unrealistic hope dope you into continuing the wrong journey. You need to alight - first and fast to soon board the journey to the right destination.

The more you delay, the costlier becomes your return journey to the correct destination. Only when hope is pickled with practicality that you will get prompted to the right destination when you started wrong.

And this is not true only for travel journeys that may have gone wrong. It covers many other life journeys - careers, relationships, investments, employment

Et al.
