Decisions, Decisions!

Life as we know it is a conundrum of alternatives that branch out into numerous permutations and combinations of events, paths and choices! The choices we make make us who we are and propel us towards who we can be and make us realize our true and latent potential! It's the decisions we take that outline and articulate the pit-stops and destinations that we strive for in the epic journey of life.

At every point and turn of the path, we've got to face the ultimate questions of 'What if'! Every decision has a tree with all of its branches hanging lose and leading to diverse checkpoints costing only God knowing how much toll tax and opportunity cost. If we are to take the best possible route to our goal, we need to be rational and cognizant of the pros and cons of all the choices. But more often than not, it's very hard to be indifferent, objective and rational when so many factors are in play, twisting our minds affecting the course of our choices!! So, it's a real mess of emotions, alternatives and decisions!!

Let's leave it at the penultimate dilemma!!

Decisions, decisions, where do we go!
Opportunities and challenges, life's boat we row!
One step ahead, two steps back one moves!
Choose well, for it can decide, boom or gloom!!!!

ECONOMISTS RULE!!!!!!!

Life passes in the whims and reviews of RBI meets,

All incomes being dwarfed by many a cess!

The constant roar of WPI makes us wonder!

Will the hiking rates tear our dreams asunder!!

The twisted alleys of Policy statements and DF rule our days!!

Putting to shreds all hopes of merry old ways!!!

Trying to comprehend the BOP Balances is kinda a pain!

Keeping track of all those IPR reviews can really make one insane!

But we keep going, for we hold it all perfectly together!!!

We take the pain, are happily insane, so more info we gather!

For we love the analyses, the C and E, heart what's true!

We dig it, prove it, rationalize, coz that's what Economists do!!!!!

KEEP THE FAITH ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do we really stand on a dangerous precipice,

on the edge of glory, on a wicked standstill!!

Are the doubts so strong, the faith so fickle!

With the slightest crack, can we let the darkness slither!!

Belief that lasts a lifetime, faith that pierces the heart!

Can never and shall never be outclassed or ripped apart!

For if it ends in a moment, in a whisker of drums and blues!

Could it ever have been real, permanent and really true!!

I'll carry my faith to the grave and hell yes, beyond!!

It won't fade, it won't die, I'll keep alive the lovely song!

For memories are eternal, so is love, so is trust, so is belief!

It's impossible to let slide or let circumstances ring the beep!

Will stay blessed, reveling in the beautiful strands of hope!

Always more to play for and achieve, rewrite destiny's quotes!

Not week enough to demolish the belief, let doomsayers have their say!!

It is for believers to keep rolling, the chips will fall where they may!
