When the wheel gets stuck...
Ever wondered what happens when the wheel gets stuck? Or what is the point when you decide that the wheel is stuck? Any layman like me without a honors degree in physics would say "You know the wheel is stuck, when it is not moving". Fair enough, no revolutions, no motion, no change in frame of reference, no energy used, no work done, WHEEL IS STUCK.
So what is the point, what is there to even ponder about it, leave alone write about it. The current state of affairs as it stands in my life,my wheel is rolling, technically that is. I am on course for a doctorate from a premier institution in a field that interests me a lot. But a deeper insight into it, I realize my wheel is stuck. I stand enlightened at this moment of time, that the wheel that rolls exactly the way it had been rolling for the last million moments, using up energy, but doing no work, changing positions, but stuck in one frame of reference is a stuck wheel. Monotonous revolutions with monotonically non increasing enthusiasm is a salient feature of a stuck wheel. In other words, my life is not going anywhere. I am going places, I am doing things, I am actively trying to be active but my wheel is stuck and I am not happy about it.I remember a movie where they very astutely metaphored life to boxing; "boxing is an unnatural act, that everything in boxing is backwards: sometimes the best way to deliver a punch is to step back... But step back too far and you ain't fighting at all".
I realize the irony in it, to get my wheel moving I need a brake. But if I brake too hard, my wheel will veer off course. I love driving, but this is my life that I am driving and I don't know when and how hard to brake....
Any suggestions????

Dost... kithe atak gaya pahiya... ?
Lemme start with the write-up .. its cool & great as always. Now let me come to u.. God only knows what inspired you to write this but I know one thing that you are homesick.. happens.. i understand but its temporary & then the wheel wont get stuck.. it will change the frame of reference, will move & will also do lots of work!
As Robert Frost said : "Miles to go before you sleep..!". Enjoy life & let not any of your wheels get stuck :)
yes. start drinking.
Boulevard of broken dreams, huh??
Go mend them..oil your wheels..get them moving!
well.... nothings gonna change.... you always go through such episodes in life...... again and again..... You've actually found a solution to your own problem..... a problem that doesn't exist.... a problem that you did not let it go untill you started to write about it... Yes, you are right. "So what is the point, what is there to even ponder about it, leave alone write about it"...... If I was you, I would listen to "Born to be wild" from Steppen Wolf right after finishing this write up........
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Nothings gonna change, change the way you think....
Oh, I didn't know that.. thanks for the comments.. Anyway, I know its a little too late and I hope your wheel got rolling again, but remember that its a wheel and its bound to get stuck sometimes... The problem is, as we get older and stay away from family, we have to get used to these things... and what you said about being active for the sake of it... thats what shows you love yourself... I always believe that if we're happy it could be because of others, but if we're not, it only because of us... sorry for getting so philosophical :)...
