I had always heard “Life is a roller coaster ride” but understood its complete analogy only today. Most of us are thrilled by the mere thought of experiencing a roller coaster ride. We are all eager to enjoy the speed and excitement of the ups and downs of that ride. We get on the ride reassuring ourselves that we are prepared for the excitement. The ride starts, all faces are lit up with broad smiles. But as soon as the ride speeds up with unexpected ups and downs in all directions, we start screaming with fear and uncertainty and yell continuously for the ride to stop. Most of us are terrified and throughout the ride we wish nothing but the ride to stop. And the moment we step out of the ride, we again want to be on the ride for that adventure and keep longing for that.
The same applies to life. We want our lives to be full of excitement and adventure. We start our journey of life, fully prepared (according to our standards) for the thrills and happiness. But as difficulties and uncertainties start jolting us, we wish our adventure to end. We crib and pray for returning back to the point where we started. And amidst all this fear and panic, we miss out all our excitement and fun for which we had set out. We somehow try to find our way out of it. Just as everyone somehow completes the roller coaster ride, we all come out of thrills and uncertainties of life. But the moment we are out of that phase, we realize its worth and want to be a part of it again.
Some of us are lucky enough to come across many roller coaster rides but few don’t get a second chance. That ride becomes their last ride, the ride in which they had chosen to scream with fright and sorrow instead of enjoying whatever comes their way.

Your philosophy is too philosophical for meee.....
roller coaster rides are gud to think about only when you are able to come out of it with no harm done, at the end of the day we enjoy the ride only thinking this ups and downs will end soon, truly speaking not many people wud actually wud like to go thru these rides
hmmm.... hmm .. hmmmm... i'm scared of height.. but i like dis song...uske alave kuch samajh mei nahi aaya..!!
thanx for the lovely message....
while we are in the roller coaster ride we all must enjoy every bit of it, all the ups and the down. fear n panic that are part of it should not let us miss the fun and excitement part of it
cheers ,
cheers to life

I seroiusly doubt that how come u r not a writer. i hav not seen someone write so gud after my sister for a long time. anyways m not for any of ur phliosophies.its kind of too high for me. but i think u need to explore ur this aspect more.maybe someday i wil get to read a book authored by you. m not jokin. roller coaster ride is somethin evryone likes to get in, curse when its on, and want to do again after its finishes.so is there somethin like that in ur life? guess enough is enough. and one more thing if i meet u someday teach me the mechanics of al these things. god i realsie now how backward i hav gone tech wise...
roller coaster definitely reminds me of something which i dont want to do again......
Amazig analogy, reminds me of several incidents where I started with great spirit and got troubled midway because of the obstacles. However I always believed that at the end of story everything becomes good (its not from Om shanti Om but from Om Jai jagdish, coincidentally both start with Om). Now I have another belief which would help me through my rough times. Great post.
