destiny

not that everything is written in stone
you can always take steps
to change anything and everything

but then,
you know so few ways to do so
you only see the lives around you
you only see what they do for a living
how they behave in crises
how they react to emotions

and lo and behold,
soon you learn it as if
it is a way of being
given to you divinely

and soon you life is
as destined as if it was
written on your forehead
on the day of chhaiti
