Lost & Found

Mahesh Bhatt texted this friend of mine last nyt ' you are lost only when you are searching for something - Tum Mile'

I was intrigued by this line. How true and aptly put is that?! We all get lost at times in our lives and we often think this state of being lost is because you have reached the end of the road. Lost to us is indecisiveness may be, lost to us is a state of mind and not a pause in the journey. Lost to us is being in astray land.

I saw 'the ugly truth' today and felt this line fit in on more than one occassion in that movie. Our lead guy is lost when when he knocks on Abby's door after what happened in the elevator. He comes searching for love at her door and when he finds the 'ideal' man he is lost... his mouth runs dry of words... his mond goes blank and he just...goes! no relevance may be, just trying to fit in the most recent example here!

I am delightfuly enlightened by this new perspective today. Thought i'd share it :-)

Reminds me of the classic dialogue between Alice and Cheshire Cat. Alice is lost at the crossroads and asks the cat.

Alice - Which road do I take?
Cheshire Cat - Where do you want to go?
Alice - I don't know.
Cheshire Cat - Then it doesn't matter!
