Miles to go...

`Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?' `That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat. `I don't much care where--' said Alice. `Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
- Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

This milestone in the post is ofcourse not from Alice's Wonderland, but from Calangute in Goa. As a blogger pictures inspire a lot of thoughts, and this one sure did. When I first saw this milestone my first reaction was 'Oh! what a direction to follow'. Obviously as you can see there is nothing written on the milestone or rather the paint has peeled off. A lot of times in life this is our state of mind. We know we have to go somewhere, but we don't know where. Because unlike most milestones that have been put up because of someone else's experience of having gone through that before, we don't neccessarily have that access like this milestone.

On a positive note, there is ofcourse the option of defining what that milestone will say. That is upto the person who now paints it afresh. What that reads defines how far that person is going to go or rather willing to go.
