Once in my school(probably class 3-4, if i`m not wrong), read the poem AGNEEPATH AGNEEPATH AGNEEPATH and as an anxious kind was told by hindi teacher that the poet Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan ji was the father of, the then and still the Badshah Of Bollywood Mr Amitabh Bachchan. At that point, i saw this piece of writing as just an ordinary poem. But i tell you what, a few days back realised the real meaning behind the poem and i tell you, its been an eye opener.
A day when the things were not going in the desired way, the gloom descended upon and thus came the bout of negativity and negative thoughts. Though, i should accept that some way or the other my judgement was wrong and the decision was proved wrong. But next morning, as i was bathing, suddenly a scene from the movie AGNEEPATH ran again and again in my mind. The scene where the main character Vijay Deena Nath Chohan runs through the sea of fire was running in mind without a pause. Through out the breakfast and journey to the office, the scene was running in my mind and the dialogues were just unstoppable. As soon as i reached my office, quickly searched out for this poem through Google, read it almost twice and thus was able to give some sort of peace to my mind. For the entire day, the poem was there on my desktop and red it after regular intervals.
That day i realized the true meaning of this poem. The poem simply states that every moment, every second, every minute,every day is a struggle, an AGNEEPATH(a path of fire) for the human being. I have learnt a lot from this poem and shall always remember the true meaning behind these lines. The poem has truly inspired me. When ever i am dejected and gloomy, i read this beautiful poem and gain back my confidence and myself.
