Written in the stars ...

Is it so? Is it really written in the stars? You may want to think so. Especially if it is something good. Truly speaking, how do you know? Or is that you just know? The arabic word 'maktub' means 'it is written'. Where exactly? Probably in the stars. May be the stars are just a metaphor. The stars are always there. Across rivers. Across lands. Across ages. They are always there. Probably to remind you. Is it already written? Or do you need to work towards achieving your dream?. Do you need to write something up there...

More specifically, would you attribute all your fortune, good or bad, to those stars? Destiny? 'Depends' is the most likely answer. You may say that your hard work is the reason for your success and fame. Or that a little bit of luck never hurt to get going while making money. Then what is the most obvious place where you count on your stars to be generous? Is it in relationships? Could be. Lets narrow it down to love. Okay. You wait a long time for that someone. Then you meet her. And then you decide. Is she the one? Hmmm. May be. May be not. Here is an interesting question. Do the stars write the same story for both the boy and the girl? I really dont know. But it would be pretty boring for the stars to only write about one and not the other. Leave either one to chance? Naah. Second question. Do the stars exert a force to bring the two stories together? If it is written, then certainly they have to twinkle enough to play their part. Third one. Probably the most puzzling one for me tonight. Do the stars make mistakes? Say the boy and the girl met. However. Hmmm. Each went their own way. Never met again. And they lived their lives happily. Would they have been more happier if they had been together? Or would they have been sad? Is there a twist in their tale? Will they meet again? May be once more at the least. Where? When? How? What will they say to each other? I dont know if the stars have all this plotted down too. That would be something, wouldn't it? It is a really beautiful night. I dont know what the boy or the girl may be thinking. Do they know what lies in store ahead for each? Do they even feel that the stars gazing at them tonight know something they dont?

Written in the stars. I guess thats where the mystery lies. Not how the story of that boy and girl shall end. But, how it shall not end...

  1. well put....I've never seen/heard these questions asked before. It seems as though you are lying on that couch of yours more often these days..since questions like the ones above seem to be flashing upon thy inward eye
