the road not taken...

As i was clearing up my study, i found a piece of paper on which i had written a summary of the famous poem by Robert Frost, "The road not taken"..its one of my favourite poems and I'm sure of many others too ..who at some point of time or other have had to make a choice between two choices ,both of which were close to their hearts.
here goes that summary:

the poet Robert frost imagines a situation where, while traveling in the midst of the woods the path suddenly bifurcates into two. to the poet, both the paths seem equally appealing although unknown. but one of them seemed less frequented than the other as the grass growth on it showed. the poet stood at the fork in the road undecided which path to take. finally he took the one which he assumed was less frequented. he assured himself that he would take the other path some other day. knowing fully well the absurdity of his thought, because he knows he has to proceed along the way he has chosen without looking back.yet even at that point of time the poet imagined that the choice was important, that one day he would lament but console himself at the same time by saying that he had chosen the path less traveled by and that has made all the difference to his life. he would tell himself that it was not only a 'different' road or the right road for him but in fact the only road for him.The poet has taken a slice from the real life scenario and has created a situation which beautifully elucidates this.

There comes in one's life a moment which proves to be a turning point. this is the moment when one has to choose between two options- be it choosing a career, life partner or a place to settle down for example. both the options may look equally good or bad. but one has to pick up one of them knowing fully well that there is no going back. only time can tell whether the decision taken was the best or not. but as there is no end to human desire, everyone laments that the other one might have been the better choice.
