If I were a car,
With the road as my love,
I'd travel far,
No journey long enough;
Uphill, downhill, through potholes and lanes,
Life passing by my racing panes.
Soon, however, my fuel runs out,
Scratches and dents, a gradual break down!
Another car would, then come,
To live my life, doing the things I'd once done,
This one replaced by another too,
Like, my dear, I am with you!
Inspired by Shakespeare’s Seven Ages of Man & The Vedic Varna Ashrams, we explore the journey of life through the journey of a very ordinary object seen and owned by all around us – a car. Through the roads it travels, the stops, starts, bumps and jams; we see that this is a very ordinary life journey; yours, mine or any life’s journey. It is special and dispensible at the same time. One amongst a million! Yet just enough to call it a life.
Life is a journey! Enjoy!
