Shuffle Your Playlist

Instead of playing your regular playlist
Just shuffle the playlists one day
And yes, you should not skip, I insist...

What wil happen now?
You will hear your least fav song first
You will be upset, but still you know 
Your favourite songs are also in the list

And so you will wait for it
But next, You'll hear another least favourite 
This time, you won't be upset
You will just keep calm and hear it, I bet 

And again, It will play your least fav
And now, you will be enjoying this process
But you won't easily express.

You will start noticing the interesting bits
And eventually fall in love with those least hits..

Now that's what happens in life
When we know what's there for us 
When we happen to guess
We certainly lack the sheer enthusiasm 

So don't be too attentive
Don't plan aggressively  
Don't follow the time table
Cos, if we know 
What's on the row
We can't relish,
For happiness lies 
in the random things... 

So go shuffle your playlist
Shuffle your time table
Be beguiled
Be a curious child
Life will be interesting...

Very clever metaphor of playlists, Supraja. I like your uplifting message for enjoying life--letting things be.
