Mistake and life...

Life is full of surprises and it is very unpredictable(quite a deadly combination if you ask me). The other day, I was wondering about life, how it has shaped up and thinking how it would have been if I had chosen a different path. What if I din't join engineering and tried something else or what if I had stayed in Imphal(my home-town) and never travelled outside or what if I had followed my dream to be a cricketer or what if I had said that magical 3 words when I had the chance ....

The list of possibilities is never ending and it strikes me back like a lightening. People commit mistakes and I am no exception, I have done it and no one is perfect. But, here the context is not about the number of mistakes and how many you have corrected. If you ask me what is/are the thing(s) you want to change in your life and I pictured all the mistakes I have made but, to be honest, there is nothing I want to change because its simple, if you have not made all those mistakes you wont be the person you are now and I am more learned(in whatever way you want to think) and I am by far a better person than I was years back. Yes, you can avoid making silly mistakes at times but, if you are not making any mistakes then you are not experimenting with your life and there is no limitation on the number of mistakes you can make in your life, just be sure that you are not committing the same mistake twice...and I guess all is well as they say.

People blame me for the mistakes but I am more happy that I have done it instead of repenting it and keeping it to myself. And when you are lying on your dead bed breathing your last few breaths away and you know you have done whatever you wanted and made mistakes and you are dying a better and happy man(though the irony of being happy when you are actually dying doesn't goes too well..:)).
