Soap Bubble


In this age of blogging where everyone of my friends are bloggers, I finally decided that I should also give it a try.

And hence I come to the title of the blog. I selected the title as Soap Bubble because the comparison of a soap bubble and our life is so uncanny and obvious. We as humans can be compared to as a soap bubble, when you blow into the pipe you can never say which size or shape of soap bubble you will get, similarly in this world you get people of different sizes and shape speaking literally and metaphorically (No pun intended on anyone :))

When you blow into the blower you get at one go many bubbles out of the pipe as if they are competing in a race or something. We can compare that to the rat race we all are competing in right now whether it is professionally or personally. When I was young and not that interested in studies my mom would go "get good marks in 10th and that will decide your life. Struggle a bit now and after that easy life". The same statement came during the 12th standard exam then during my engineering college. I have been working for 4 years now and I still do not see an easy life in the near future. The more higher I climb the organization ladder more work and responsibilities wait for me. Where did that easy carefree life my mom promised go?

Ahh sorry went off topic a bit over there... coming back to soap bubbles. The definition of a Soap Bubble as per Wikipedia is "A Soap bubble is a very thin film of soap water that forms a sphere with an iridescent surface. Soap bubbles usually last for only a few moments before bursting, either in their own or on contact with another object." You never now which bubble will burst and when but one thing you can be rest assured as they will go pop. Similarly we are all destined to die one fine day, when and how no one can say.

So there it is, we are all just soap bubbles trying to go as high as we can before we go pop. A lot of things might happen which can be compared to a strong breeze that might change the direction where you are heading but with the help of family and friends you can bet back on track. Remember this, at the end even if you win the rat race you will still be a rat.

So before you go pop, live you life to the fullest rather then living it with regret. Cheers !!!
