Lost traveller


I was a lost traveller,.  I lost my way towards my destination. In fact I was confused about my destination. I really didn't know where the road that I chose leads. One day I was walking through a road I came across a junction. There were sign boards at the junctions . It told me where I would reach if I chose it. And I thought that was exactly everyone confused traveller like me wanted , a clear sign showing where I will reach if I could chose between the two roads.. Confusion was the only friend there with me, standing beside me at that point of my life. I couldn't chose between two roads that diverged. Sign board showed me where I will reach if I chose it. But I feared what if the destination shown in the sign is not my idea about the destination it mentioned , and hence I will be disappointed if it doesn't turn out to be the place like I imagined. So , actually it is just a possibility that it may be the place mentioned in the sign board but not necessarily be the same I imagined. I wondered what would have I done if there was one more road. Thinking that I saw another road. That road was almost not visible if you don't stop at that juncture and keep staring in that direction for a some time, like I did, thinking about which other two roads I had to chose. But a small lightning idea struck inside my head, it was just as faint as the road. If you don't give enough  attention it will just pile up inside your mind like all the thoughts you had in the past . The idea was what if i chose the third road , the one with no sign board. The reason was that it didn't tell me where i will reach if I chose it , so the problems of choice ie whether the destination will be the like  the one I imagine(like with the case of other two roads) is not there  . So I don't have to be disappointed however the destination  turn out to be. Either way I was bored with sign boards shown in the roads I have covered till now, it was equally boring like I said,it didn't turn out to be the destination I had in my mind . 
So, a mixture of guts and boredom tempted with curiosity made me to chose the third road. 
    As I stepped into road my phone started ringing it was a familiar phone number,but I couldn't make out who it was. I took the call ,the voice was too familiar too. I felt like each words said by the caller had all the tones of people I know in the past. The caller asked me to not to go through that road and warned me about some of the people who travelled through that road was never seen again. Doubts started creeping into my mind. But the force of attraction towards that road was much more , so I abandoned my phone (distractions)there. Before I took another step , I looked back and thought,either I will never be seen like the caller told me, or else I will see things I have never seen before  ,either way I was too bored to walk the road I was walking till now. 
  So I took that road and I am walking ...
