ReplyDeletesometimes i ignore this question by saying that " it's not the right time to think about such questions" but i know that " if not now, then when? "
or shift my thoughts to something else......
sometimes i thought that i'll just be lost in the worldly affairs and no one will be having the reason to remember me
And i'm not the single one, its about every commoner who spend their lives without anyone noticing them.
after reading your post one dialogue from the aamir khan's movie 'rang de basanti' came to my mind.
in it dj says to su that "he had completed his education in the campus three years back but he don't want to leave the campus as here in the campus he is holding some identity every student knows him but he knows that when he will step out the college he will be lost in world. no one will know that who dj is."
(these are not the exact lines. this is what i remember. you can say that it is the main theme)
You will shine like a star when people will look at the rhymes of yours... don't think negatively that "...will cry looking at lines of my hand"
