C'est la vie (literally ‘that's life’)

Life hardly ever turns out as we plan, and most of us are just improvising...playing along, as the chaos unravels, bit by bit, trying to hold on, as this wild rollercoaster ride leaves us breathless and queasy ever so often.
Take this blog as a simple example. I started it in a flash of creativity...well...actually it was the result of total procrastination(there was absolutely no flash!) back when I was total slacker(and a pretty good one too) and had a lot of free time on my hands. I bothered many a people for suggestions on the name for the blog and bored them with rewrites of whatever little I posted, like I said, a LOT of free time. No, I don't consider myself a writer(actually, I secretly do) neither am I looking for an audience(of course I am, who doesn't like a bit of attention) but I have always been good with putting down my thoughts into words, that is if you believe my high school teachers or rather teacher(good with words, and absenteeism) That being said, the point of my rambling is...blog started...LIFE had other plans!
I mean, among the very few people who are reading this and the many who are reading far better things, there might be hardly anyone who can say their life turned out exactly as they drew it up. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule , there are people who said they wanted to be astronauts and actually went to space(they get on my nerves, these people!), but then the exceptions are limited to a handful. For the rest of us, life lays out its own path and we all end up making a beeline for it. Even I went from being in  arts and design to working in mortgage loans, from CMYK to cibil scores, now if that doesn't tell how topsy-turvy life can get sometimes, then I don't know what will. Life is not unpredictable just in terms of what we end up doing for a living, but it's chaotic in it's every aspect.
Now, I don't necessarily mean life is unpredictable and chaotic in a bad way(well, not always at least) rather, I think it's the erratic nature and the pandemonium that makes life an adventure; an adventure that is certainly not for the softhearted.
It's takes tremendous effort right from birth, to come  into the world, to live and survive with as frail an existence as that of a human being. But this endeavour for survival I think is the purpose of life. Finding order in the chaos, peace in the pandemonium...the eternal pursuit of Happiness and love through all the hardships and heartbreaks, that's what life is all about.
No, I am not some wise old man from the Himalayas and this is absolutely not some prudential life lesson, I am just stating what should be painfully obvious to each one of us. Like I said, it is quite a rollercoaster ride, ups and downs, twists and turns, joys, sorrows, secrets, disappointments, love are all part of this short lived, tiring and exhilarating journey. And it is actually pretty short lived, I mean you could blink and miss most of it, so I say buckle in, hold on and have some faith, love, laugh, LIVE! Cause, like the good old song goes, we can't always get what we want, but we do get what we need and that's life, literally, C'est la vie!
