chess...

a child's first question could be,

“what is it?”

or would a child think,

why the hell did you

take me out of such

a warm cocoon,

where i am fed, cared

without the need to

lift even a finger...

(except maybe smile

couple of times,

when sonography is done)...

well, i am drifting away

from the question...

what is it? Keeps happening

at other times too..

like when you connect

converse with ease

and chat for an hour...

(in real life nobody's got time

for, focused conversation with

a single person, continuously ;)

well, then you end up asking,

what is it?

What kind of friendship do we have

and where would it go...

when its a guy and you too are a guy

then it doesnt go that way...

questions doesnt arise..

(i.e. If the guys are straight)

how does it go with

girl-girl thing..

i really dont know now..

but then, cant there be

a genderless community?

Where there are only

human-human things?

When you are young,

you move on quickly

rush into an answer

either way..

when you are beyond 40's

then you tend to play

some more mental chess (MC)..

only difference in MC is

there are no pawns..

they can be called as hope,

and you have to move them ahead

often only 1 step at a time..

though when you are young,

you might get a chance

to do a double move

though its an option...

and thus hope moves us ahead

and we tend to become pawns

(or even if we consider our self

rook, queen or king)...

we all have to move in the

64 square board of life...

often unable to predict the

moves of our partner.. or competitor

but if taken with sporting spirit,

its all fun..

and play a good game,

with zest and energy

consideration and with fair play

its just a life long game...

play on!
