I have thought of my picture to be 3/4th complete. I have no clue whether it is or now, but thats the mental image I had. Suddenly, when least expected, another piece falls into place and you are left delighted, with the joy that only the puzzle solver can understand! Getting each new piece is a new challenge, maybe the first few are very simple - you go to school, make friends, choose your college and what you want to major in. Then you get a girlfriend, you get a job and so on. You probably question yourself as to whether she is the right partner for you, are you stuck in a wrong job. As you grow older, if you want your picture to be perfect, the pieces are more challenging to fit in.
Each one of us wants different things in life. Likely, even the same person wants different things in his life. Somewhat like suddenly discovering that the picture that you were making is actually just a small part of a larger picture. And then you move on and try to solve this larger jigsaw!
My question to you is: How much of your jigsaw do you think is complete?
Comments, please!

i dont worry much! asa itki chir phad nahi keleli in life!
As you start fitting together the pieces of the jigsaw, you start to feel a childish sort of joy as the patters come together. And you start seeing that perhaps the jigsaw was not entirely what you thought it was, that the stars you thought you were putting together, are merely reflections in a still and bottomless pool...
Ow, sorry, didn't mean to write a post. Nice one though :D
Phew! An extremely intriguing insight Aniket. All of us live in this world of desires and dreams - some fulfilled, some in the process and some seemingly distant. But, dont we love all of it.. The more I try to see if the picture of my life is complete, the boundries of the picture seem to be expanding..
So - I stop and realize that its just worthless measuring the completion. Let it remain incomplete.. its better that way ;-)
Ive stopped making jigsaws about the future...all my puzzles are in retroscpect..like if something I did want never happened...I'd finally think back on how it turned out and where it led me to rather than plan. I've realized its no use! :D
