Yes, since ages the human mind has questioned and searched; only to find itself stuck up over and over again. Stuck amidst questions that have no answers, stuck amidst actions that seem endless; stuck in a journey that that leads nowhere. Every new exploration brings forth a new question and yet again the search continues. The mind thus keeps spiralling forever..
Meetings, targets, presentations, friends, family and the list continues. Trapped in this spiral whose origin and end can’t be distinguished, running back and forth; we are all stuck in the warp of time.
Yeah, I accept that I am spiralling because I know that all the while am spiralling am exploring something new and strengthening my dispositions.And one day I shall be able to detach myself from the spiral; for my journey would've come to its conclusion..Till then I shall keep exploring and unearthing..
