One Way Ticket

Heyy guys how's it going? Hope all is well with all of you. Recently I came across a dear blogger mate's post regarding WHAT-IFs. You know, wondering what if he did this that way or that this way etc etc. We all think of this kind of thing every now and then. I have so many What-Ifs too. I mean my life would have been very different then. But would it be any better than what it is right now? I really can't tell that can I? It would have been better or even worse! And who knows what I will be thinking then? I probably would be thinking the same What-Ifs :). So yeah, what I wanted to say is that though we can't totally avoid thinking about the What-Ifs in life, there's really no point in worrying about such things or thinking that you'd be better off if you did that than this etc. Cos we can never go back in time and change that. What we have right now is what we were supposed to have. That's how I think of it. Have you seen the movie Sliding Doors? it's something like that. Yes we may be on a different path if we made a different choice, but even then we would be wondering about the other path that we didn't take. Life is all about choices and you can only make one choice at a time. That's what's been given to us and I like to think that where we are right now is where we are supposed to be. Life's choices are like a one-way ticket. Once we make the choice to go on a certain path (in any situation), we are travelling down that path and there's no way we can come back. Even if we choose to take a different path after a while, we have already travelled that previous path. So all I can say is enjoy the ride and grasp the beauty of that trip. Never regret the path you took cos it's part of your learning process and it's where your instincts took you. So even though that path may not turn out to be the best or the most beautiful, the ticket was purchased and you're on your way...so you might as well make it beautiful yourself and learn what it tries to teach you.

Having said all that, right now I feel like buying a one-way ticket to nowhere hehe. Would be nice to go on a trip that I don't have to return from, somewhere far away, away from all the mundane stuff, somewhere where I don't have to worry about waking up to routine or where I'm not treated like a blown-up bimbo. Yeah I'd like to go where there's no heartache...where I'd be alone on a ride to nowhere...going without an aim...going without a specific destination...and I'd stop at heartbreak hotel for a while...and then I'd continue...and I hope I don't forget to take my notebook so I can tell you all about it ;-) yeah blogging is a must even on the moon. Stay gold guys!

Anonymous said...

Nice post... and at the right time for me... I was thinking of a what if today afternoon. Then dropped it for the same reason as you said.
I too have felt like just walking away some where totally out of this world. :)

Anonymous said...

The "what if" and "if only" words always on my mind after i did something, & i hate it ;p
worst again...i'll feel regret for what i've done.
silly right.

have a nice day keshi!~

Anonymous said...

hey kesh!

what if.. interesting question there.. i have so many of those.. what if i had chosen to stay in india.. wht if i had taken up tht course in advertising,
but if i hadnt i wouldnt be who i am.. and i love me! :D

so i guess, live and love with no regrets!

have a nice day hney!

Rex Venom said...

What If's and all that still lead to thinking, in the now, and that can alter our choices, affecting the future. It is like time travelling. ha!
Rock on!

Outdoorsy Girl said...

I have at least a million "what if?'s"

I bought a one way ticket this summer out west. I knew I was coming back home, but didn't know when. It was the most liberating feeling ever.

Right now, I might like to buy a one-way ticket with no plans of a return home. Some place like you described would be nice. LOL. Don't worry...I'd keep everyone updated on my new life. Like you said, blogging is a must--even on the moon! :)

Hi Keshi

First, have you not seen a dead person wearing sunglasses? The coffin adds to the overall effect. I knew I have a sadistic side, but now I find you do too. LOL We had to blacken the eyes to hide her identity. It is very funny! LOL

Your topic reminded me of the movie “Somewhere In Time.” (I think that’s the title.) The late Chris Reeves stars in it. He sees a picture of a woman and falls in love with her. He is then transported back to the time when she was alive.

We all get a ticket to ride—we never know when the ride will end.

I think we both need a good dose of humor. LOL

love u girl
Bev

what ifs is the uncertainty that makes us difficult to make that choice!!

certainly once u make the choice its all urs! but its better than someone else making the choice for you and then having to regret over it!!

** Life is all about choices and you can only make one choice at a time. **

... well said dear! i have soo many " what-if's " too in life but i always remember this quote...

... it's not getting what we want, it's wanting what we've got!!

and enjoy life as it is!!

luv ya sweetie, u take care mwaaaah!!

Parag said...

Sometimes its better to live our own prosaic lives.. Its kind of good to get what we expect..
For example.. get home meet our spouses, parents, kids..
Rather than having a life which is full of adventure and change ..what say ?

Anonymous said...

Well said Keshi...I soo totally agree with you...its all about choices n once we have selected our path, no use wondering n thinking about the what-if's if we had selected another option.....I just keep regretting things & keep thinking as to where wud I have been & what wud I be doing IF i had done something else in LIFE....so gurl, today once again your post makes me realise that I shud be happy n content n moreover enjoy what LIFE has to offer Me at this very moment....Thanks Keshi for posting this...your post is a self-check and taking stock of what am doing right now..love ya..take care & have a nice day :)

SamY said...

there was a time when I used to think of these WHAT-IFs ... but always realized everything happens for good ... guess that our way of accepting things :)

truth be told, I am happy for all the so called "bad" things that happened to me ... coz thats what shaped me into what I am today ... back then it seemed like a cruel thing on me

I'd have probably been much less as a person had things been different :) ... as long as life doesn't give things away easily its fair enuf ;)

** Never regret the path you took cos it's part of your learning process and it's where your instincts took you.

sometimes the negative feeling can make people out-perform u know ;)

** right now I feel like buying a one-way ticket to nowhere

dun think I'll get that feeling until I'v seen much of whats down here on earth ... an exotic location for a holiday, hell YESSSS :D ... I'v got so much to do before I retire

c'mon keshi ... even my grandpa doesn't ask for a one way ticket to anywhere ... unless u meant taking a break ... trust me even heaven would bore u to death :D ... woops!did I just come up with a oxymoron?

** going without an aim

plz watch the movie "office space" ... it fits this mood :D ... n u'd luv it, trust me on that :)

** yeah blogging is a must even on the moon

thats reality baby ... I know u luv being here :) ... u proly need a break in career or maybe something to spice up ur life ... that all ;)

Alex said...

"Life is all about choices and you can only make one choice at a time."

You said it Keshi! :)

J. Andrew Lockhart said...

If there weren't "what-if's" what would poets write about? :)

Unknown said...

I wanna one way ticket back home... 2 HELL!

desperado said...

you know what whenevr i came back to collg at night in a bus..alll i want is that this bus just keeps moving keeps on going forever

the "if's" will always remain wid me

btw u listen to a band called Train

Cinderella said...

"....Cos we can never go back in time and change that. What we have right now is what we were supposed to have."

Absolutely gold Keshi !!!!
Way to go.

And I so loved the 'one way ticket' concept.
Is'nt life really that ? Reminded me of Robert Frost's 'Road not Taken'. Have you read it?
Do read it if you havent by now, it speakes on the same lines.

Kudos again.
Luv ya.

Cinderella said...

And eh about your photos, I agree with KK you know, you must smile more.
I've seeing that same expression in every pic of yours.
What's all that consciouness about??
Let your hair down and show ur funny side too,its tiring trying to imagine you like that after seeing your pix.
Hope you dint mind my musings girl.
Take care and keep smiling.

Anonymous said...

Sigh...you always read the thoughs in my mind and translate them into such eloquent musings....

I know only too well about the what-ifs in my life...I know I can't change what happened but whatever did is the turn I took on the road called life.

Kepp going Kehi, the ticket will lead to somewhere even if you don't come back :) But please blog before, during and after u get there :D

**btw the song u posted, have heard a hindi song similar to this.. must have been ripped off of this

YES!! I think it's an old song "Hari Om Hari" or something like that..... :S

che sara sara said...

hey keshi gal...
u know i saw all ur snaps just now
and my eyes refuse to close
they dont even wink
hmm...
me after a long long break
dunno when i m gonna be back here agn
hugs baby...

Akshay V said...

What if's.. hmm I have way too many of those.. before I used to even think of those. But now I have just accept the choice I make and try to make the best out of it. I think it is really hard to be happy with the decision we choose. There are times we know that we have made the right choice, but again then we feel what if.. I feel the words what if come out more out of regret than anything else. Sadly or Luckily (depends on how you see it), I dont really regret any of the choices or decisions I have made.

Ticket to nowhere.. hmm.. I dont know if that is available, but if u can find it can u also buy one for me, pls? :)

Ekta said...

hey kesh!!!
Me too me too!!!
I want that one way ticket to nowhere land too...u voice my sentiments girl...i so want to getaway somewhere away from here....!

Anonymous said...

kesh, I checked, no one is selling tickets to go to the moon. Wanna start a travel agency?? :)
and hey, wanna go nowhere? then just dont go anywhere :) , u dont need a ticket for that! :)

cheers!

gP said...

ahhh...the ever romantic trips that never end, I always want to do that. Everytime i travel by bus to/ frm home I would be silently wishing that it was a 10000 mile journey that would take weeks to complete. :D:D:D imagine the many sunsets and sunrises.

I would say, maybe we can reliewve what we have missed, just maybe if we try to do the best the second time, the feeling might be the same.

Anonymous said...

I know what ya mean. I don't usually think about what-if's The moment in time is gone. There are lessons learnt and I need to give my present my best shot anyways.

where I'm not treated like a blown-up bimbo

I can't believe anyone would treat you so? I am guessing if they did they are gonna be long gone eh?

Anonymous said...

i always wanted that too myself...one way ticket to wherever it takes me...hehehe...just hope it's not a freaky experience! ;))

thanks for stopping by at my blog...it's been greatly appreciated...nice post! ;;)

I WISH I COULD DO THE SAME :) how much i want to be away from everything.... except my dance classes and blogging. take care and you stay gold too girl!

Jim said...

Never ever ask Wat If?
its an exercise in futility

but never ever make the same mistake twice

which means dont forget your mistakes

the americans are paying a very heavy price in IRAQ

the poor blokes forgot the VIETNAM experience

Jim said...

wat if Rex Venom were a sexy chic
and Keshi a casanova?

wat if Margie had tied the knot with me?
and had an extramarital affair with the Casanova

Shionge said...

Yep! Happens all the time toying around with WHAT-IFs. Hmmm....what ifs during the year 1989 I did not return back to Spore after staying in Sydney for 3 weeks? What if I stay then? Will I be happy?

Oh well, wakey wakey Shionge :P

Neer said...

moon? that close??
lets go a lil more far... Kesh!

LERA said...

Keshi,sounds like you are embarking on a journey with a one way ticket to experience that mystical world .A fugitive in the making, getting away from routine reality ha ha....wish we could all get to do that once in a while .What if's....I suppose are something which makes us sometime to Ponder over things. Happy blogging from the Moon......:)

Anonymous said...

hmmn....a serious post imm after a funny one:)

What-if's...hmn..u know how much i wish there was some way we could go back and rectify our mistakes...but what you said makes sense...will try and be positive about it:) and wat's the use of worryin now! right! no going back!I hope this continues:)


and ahem...read ur last post now..for some reason it didn't show me in bloglines(the feed subscription)...so was surprised to see two new posts, anyway...hehehe, what turns me on...umn...hands?long taperin fingers:) and yeah...the ice-creame thing....the scoop is still okay okay...try lickin a candy bar in front of a guy! lol...trust me he will faint;)

and yeah, if they allow a little nore baggage, can I come along too? pls pls? Promise I wont trouble much:p but a trip to nowhere sounds good:)

Carrie said...

That is really beautiful.

I often think that way too and I have no regrets.

Life said...

hey 'ALCHEMIST'...you sound so.....

well book one ticket for me also in advance..


One way ........take me to the land of lovers where there is only love in air..........


Take Care

Sujit said...

walking away for some time is nice..! after that.. what again?..! was reading a book.. that questioned.. do our choices change our worlds?.. isn;t it just those if's?..! wasn;t it the choice that you took.. for those if's to exsist?.. the bottom question would be.. to be happy regard of what choice you made!.. who knows what would have happend if those if's were the line in which keshi would fall?..

HARUNA said...

yeah, i always think "what if." i know those ideas are ridiculous, but i cant stop thinking... interesting post, keshi:) thank you

PerfumesReviewer said...

U know I'd love a vacation on d moon

though wid my gf or sumthin

I'd not love bein all alone

Kara said...

What If's can drive you crazy if you let them. I've tried to avoid thinking that way. I have a wonderful son that might not be here if one of my "what if's" came true. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Anonymous said...

One way ticket nowhere! That's boring, Keshi! You have to know where you are going?!

I personally hate surprises. Need to know where I am, where I am going and when I will be back and how:D

Well, may be you take off for a month to wherever you always wanted to go, that would be fun :))

Hope you try when you are unattached and still young, unlike me:))Good luck.....

still_figuring_out said...

hi beautiful gal! nice photos :-)

even if there were one way tickets, will we actually take them? i wouldn`t..

Azuka said...

The last time I checked, I wished I didn't exist.

All the daily annoyances wouldn't happen, but I'd sure miss all the fun!

dreaming-neko said...

one-way ticket to nowhere... that sounds nice. do they have coffee there? :)

thanks for dropping by the neko.

Cari said...

we think alike keshi
life is not about feeling regret it's about experience..through anything u can find a lesson learned

Anonymous said...

Thats a nice post! I suppose many of us share similar view of "one way ticket"! May be we all can go once!
What ya say?? :)))

ann said...

Oh Keshi... an interesting post

I often think "what if" but I can't turn back the clock, I could only be what I was at that time as I can only be what I am today.

oh a one way ticket to anywhere... sounds magical

lotsa luv ann xxxx

lol yeah...if not for humor, I'd have completed that ride by now. HUGGGGGGGGGGGGZ sweetie!


-----------------------------------

OMG...who will not think of taking a one way ticket far from this place and to a dream land :D!!!

I am with you...! I remember one of my friend just quit her job and went on to Africa all the way from UK to Morocco..she might be back by now to Toronto from her trip :)

I think it can be done just need to plan certain things such as finance ;)
Good Luck gal

**but always realized everything happens for good ... guess that our way of accepting things :)

yeah...but even tho some bad things happen and we cant see any good in it at all, there's always a hidden meaning. I guess so.


**coz thats what shaped me into what I am today ... back then it seemed like a cruel thing on me

so true!


**as long as life doesn't give things away easily its fair enuf ;)

spot on! If life was that easy then there's no challenge at all.


** sometimes the negative feeling can make people out-perform u know ;)

very true. one does feel regret but shouldnt hang on to it for too long. Learn from it and change ur future, thats what I mean.


**dun think I'll get that feeling until I'v seen much of whats down here on earth ...

Ive seen alot Samy. Much more than what i should at this age.


**an exotic location for a holiday, hell YESSSS :D ... I'v got so much to do before I retire

**unless u meant taking a break ... trust me even heaven would bore u to death :D ... woops!did I just come up with a oxymoron?

**I took a trip like that. $10k in cash, wandered the earth. Moved to a place I never heard of after 3 months.

-----------------------------------

Cinderella heyyy!

**And I so loved the 'one way ticket' concept.Is'nt life really that ?

yes. Like Bev said, Life itself is a one-way trip. U r heading to the end, day by day and there's no way that u can come back.

**walking away for some time is nice..! after that.. what again?..!

I dun wanna think what will be after that...I just wanna keep going. U know wut I mean Sujit. I dun wanna look for anything. I just wanna go w.o. stopping...w.o. an aim.


**the bottom question would be.. to be happy regard of what choice you made!..

Spot on!


who knows what would have happend if those if's were the line in which keshi would fall?..

how d u mean?

-----------------------------------

heyyy HARUNA!


**yeah, i always think "what if." i know those ideas are ridiculous, but i cant stop thinking... ]

thats where ur stretching it sweetie. Its perfectly human to regret for a while but dun drag it forever. Then u'd only be killing the present.

-----------------------------------

Punjabi heyyy!


**U know I'd love a vacation on d moon though wid my gf or sumthin
I'd not love bein all alone

I wanna be alone...maybe with few friends but certainly not a BF...that would kill the purpose of my trip :)

-----------------------------------

KaraMia WC!


**What If's can drive you crazy if you let them.

Exactly! Only if u let em...


**I have a wonderful son that might not be here if one of my "what if's" came true.

Now thats a very beautiful and wise way to think abt things, ty!

-----------------------------------

Asha WC!


**One way ticket nowhere! That's boring, Keshi! You have to know where you are going?!

I have always KNOWN where Im going, when Im coming back, who Im gonna be with etc etc. To me thats become BORING :) I mean always knowing everything and all that routine!


**I personally hate surprises. Need to know where I am, where I am going and when I will be back and how:D

Been there done that.


**Well, may be you take off for a month to wherever you always wanted to go, that would be fun :))

Been there done that too, far too many times :) and even that isnt so appealing to me anymore.


**Hope you try when you are unattached and still young, unlike me:))Good luck.....

Well it's never too late for anyone...age and marital status should not stop u from being who u r :) TC n ty!

-----------------------------------

Still_Figuring_Out heyy WB I missed ya!


**even if there were one way tickets, will we actually take them? i wouldn`t..

I would. I so wannna disappear.

-----------------------------------

Azuka heyyy!


**The last time I checked, I wished I didn't exist.

Tell me abt it girl..I have felt that way a million times.


**All the daily annoyances wouldn't happen, but I'd sure miss all the fun!

thats true too :)

keshi - i know what u mean about wanting to get away from the routine & mundane, and getting a one-way ticket; and i have done that a few times in my life! (but not for a while now) it's always a challenge & usually a great experience ... altho, ironically, u can often finish up eventually appreciating (or maybe even missing) what u are getting away from. still, like i said, rarely would u regret going on that journey! ;-D

so wow u like the Buddhist philosophy too - yes as u say, it is more a philosophy, way of life & state of mind than anything. i also have some interest in learning more about Hinduism ... i read the 'Bhagavad Gita' ealier this year & that was interesting. i am interested to learn more about all the Hindu Deities but at present i think that my favourite might be Ganesh!?!

Keshi said...

Dawn I know wut ur friend means...one of my friends did that too...quit his highly-paid medical profession and went ard the world...he sends post-cards from far-away places...I dunno when/if he'll return. Sounds really magical.

Keshi said...

Fergal ur very lucky then...I mean having done that kinda thing in ur life a coupla times.

Im glad u could see the great teachings of Buddhism. They r principles for life.


**present i think that my favourite might be Ganesh!?!

hehe cute. Hinduism has numerous Gods. Ganesh the elephant God is the destroyer of obstacles. My fav Hindu deity is Kaali...the Goddess of destruction :) try to find out about her.

One-way ticket... a nice song and an extremely cool write-up. This phase is a must in everyone's life I guess... just take things in our stride and move on.. cant there be one-way ticket to happiness... i will go there taking you along.

Yeah, it's so easy to look back at your mistakes and kick yourself for them. But like you said, we can't change what we've done, so what's the point?

Having said that, I think it's important to learn from those same mistakes so we don't make them again. Just don't dwell on them.

Learn from them. Don't hate yourself for making them.

Keshi said...

AB heyy!


**Just don't dwell on them

thats just it! tnxxx mate :)

Blessed said...

What if, what if.........how many times have we all wondered that about our past!!! and our future.
I keeping thinking 'what if' when I think about my regrets. What if I done this, I wouldn't have done that and I wouldn't be living with these regrets. BUT thru my regrets I have become stronger, more knowlegdable, more humble. I am on this 'path' for a reason. I did things maybe wrong but EVERYTHING I have done so far has led me where I am now.
Try not to think of what if, I try to just take one day at a time, that's all we have...take advantage of now, hopefully learning from the good and bad! of yesterday. I'm hopefully taking these lessons with me to the future....to not have regrets and not have what ifs becuz I am taking advantage of what I have today to be the best I can be and be satisified and content by what I have now....which is pretty much everything that I really need.

BLESSINGS!

Keshi said...

keshiwalla,
I read somewhere that LIFE is the opposite of school because you get the test first and you learn the lesson after..I can't improve on that.
There isn't anywhere that you can go without the chance of getting hurt..you can camouflage your feelings and hide in your shell like a turtle..but you still have to poke your head out sometime..and that's when you are vulnerable.

Keshi said...

HE thats so true...life offers u the tests first and then the lessons...so damn true!

yeah ur right...u just have to poke ur head out somehow and that means there r chances of getting hurt...


-----------------------------------

Niki ty HUGGGGGGGGGGGZ!
