Chasing bubbles

So many things in life are like chasing bubbles. It fascinates and allures you. You go after it single-minded (most of the times), forgetting everything around except the bubble. And when you do reach it and try to get it, it bursts or it floats out of sight, by when it is too late to find your way back. I am not sure if I've chased bubbles in my life. Maybe I have or maybe not. But at some point in our lives I think we all do.

Maybe its all about the chase more so than catching the bubble. If not you are in for disappointment and frustration not to mention being lost if you've chased it too far.

I saw this girl today blowing bubbles. (I loved doing that as a kid. And normally made a mess spilling the soap water and then trying to make some on my own. Which never worked as you might have guessed. Still lotsa fun!) Anywho like any other kid she was fascinated by this colourful thing that appeared suddenly and floated away. And she ran after it trying to catch it. Cute!!?!? And a part of me wondered when she would realise that bubbles are not meant to be caught. Was she better off not knowing that??

Even though I knew she can't catch that bubble I chase my own bubbles. Equally ignorant. Am I better off not knowing that they are bubbles?? I am not really sure. But I will continue to do so. It's all about the chase rt??
