Road Theory!

There’s a “pulia” (colloquial name of a 6x2x1 feet of cemented block) right infront of my college where I studied - “what they don’t teach you in MBA”. This pulia is often used by the students for a break in between classes.

The pulia is located at a very strategic point.

The accompanying figure describes the location (point A in the fig.) of the pulia on the road that runs inbetween the campus and the pulia.

Sitting on the pulia at point A (see fig.), you see a straight stretch of road towards point “1”. Incidentally, this is the point that's towards the city. Most of us come to the college through that part.

Now, the part of the road towards point ‘1’ in figure is your past – you know what lies there as far as you can see.

When you look at the other side from point A, you would be able to see the road clearly for some distance and after that it curves (point B in fig), you don’t know what’s there after that and how far it stretches. Now, that part of the road depicts your future, where you have plans for say next 4-6 years (a short time in life) but you do not know what lies beyond those years. What kinda 'traffic' you would encounter once you on the curve and beyond.

And, when you look right infront of you, you see your college – your present.

Not sure if the location of the pulia was ‘planned’ but what ever it is, it has a lot of meaning, provided it’s interpreted.

Cheers!
