THE SWASHBUCKLING RIDE a.k.a LIFE. Funny it may seem but yes, life is swashbuckling. Google defines "Swashbuckle" as "engage in daring and romantic adventures with bravado or flamboyance."
WE (the protagonist) are always engaged in some adventure at every point of time, be it wishfully or kicked into. For some, that early morning visit to the toilet is an adventure if last night dinner wasnt good, for some the daily commute to the office is an adventure rushing through the rush, for some balancing the act at home between mother and wife is an adventure, and for some deciding between friendship and love is an adventure.
From your birth to death,childhood to old age, school to workplace, bachelorhood to marriage, being a kid to being a parent, everything is an adventure. And not to forget the small adventure rides...bunking class for the first time, outing with friends after final exams get over, that first crush, that first breakup, failing in the exams, getting slapped at home, hiding your original marks from parents, copying their sign, first visit to a porn website, history deletion of the entire computer after that, those dreams of the first car, getting a bike for college, that first accident, those bruise, those abuses, getting ragged, that shame, that fight, that hot chick, that behnji, that hot bod male, that nerdy, that rich guy, that attitude girl, and then the exams. The results, passing marks, failing by 5 marks, that "life sucks" attitude, then the first drink, then beer cans, then "middle finger" attitude, then entrance exams, those group discussions, then getting a bank loan for further studies, then getting a hotel room, then ragging, then punishment, those sucking seniors, then the degree, then the job, then the first business, then the huge loss, then the profit, marriage, first love, first honeymoon, first kids, and then...
their whole adventure starts..phew...it never ends!
Life isnt fair at times, at times it is the most beautiful gift. At times it sucks, at times it kisses. It throws you up in the air, it catches you also. It just cant be smooth, it is full of adventure, A Swashbuckling Ride indeed. But as Rocky Balboa said -
And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!
