Lemonade and Life

When life gives you lemons,make lemonade....we all have heard that more often than we'd like to.Well for the past few months I have been trying to make "MY" lemonade,of course with little success(hence my absence from this space too). Sometimes the lemonade's too sour,at other too sweet and yet another time-it was just too damn plain-bland! I know life is like that ,but why the hell is it so tough to make that one perfect glass or jug of lemonade,which you can share with everyone so that you're happy that they are enjoying the lemonade.
Guess,it only happens in those sugary-sweet ad films.
When things arent looking sugary and sweet in your life, you realise no amount of that "making lemonade" or even "having tequila" talks-makes any sense. After all your situation is yours! None like anyone else's! No one else will get it. And unfortunately, even the formula to make that "Perfect" lemonade has to be yours,cause one's perfect is another's perfect.So even if -say by a huge stroke of miraculous luck-someone does understand your lemons,their formula for the best syrup isnt necessarily the best for you.
Life's like that! Different for everyone.
I really wish I could figure out my share of lemons and add some white rum and make some refreshing mojitos! Sadly,I cant even make an "achaar" of those lemons! Yes,it's that bad. And no amount of any pep talk works! And I am so done waiting with the lemons in my hand,like really done.I wish I could throw in a court somewhere and play squash with them instead!
Atleast that way, I would be able to squash them -literally! and they would never be able to find their way back to me.
Ofcourse,reality is way different and I find myself handling,rather juggling more of those yellow-green objects ,that too with both my hands now! Irritated as I may get, there is no way for me to get rid of them.
Ah ,I know I could just learn to juggle better,right? Wrong! Cause,now my hand hurts and my head twirls and I feel like I am going to faint any moment.
Lack of inspiration and motivation can so make you frustrated ,its not even funny.You really wonder when did life make you so dulled out and lost ,that you forgot how to make your perfect jug of lemonade,all together!
I guess the trick or the idea is to tweak your formula from time to time.As a child you probably liked it very sweet ,then as you grew you liked it spiked with a certain spirit and then still ahead in life you liked with saltier ...so on and so forth.
The question still remains,when do you tweak the formula -cause too soon and you may realise it doesnt work for you and too late and you could end up feeling all left out!
I wish there was a better way of finding out rather than just by way of trial and errors!

Confusion and Creation

So there is confusion and then there is chaos...none of which leave you feeling any better than you already do... Confusion is about choices Choices is about taking decisions Decisions is about clarity Clarity is about thought or thoughts Thought is about confusion. So if you have thoughts...you will have confusion and chaos...but what may-mind you the word is "may"-not lead to it is the fact that you can choose your thoughts. You can or atleast may want to decide that what you want is peace and bliss; therefore it may be prudent to avoid negative or multiple instances of unfavorable thoughts. So if you want a happier, confusion and chaos free life...simplifying matters that lead to lesser choices and options is one route that can be taken. The other option is to be able to wait it out...be paitent.If you have that virtue in you or you can find that within you, to be able walk through the jungle till you reach the highway then it can lead to some fantastic revelation...

A late starter

I have late at starting almost everything in my life and this blog is no exception.Anyone reading it is questionable,but its just felt like something I had to do for the longest time. Two-thirds of this year has gone by and not much has happened as per what I had in mind on the first day of this year...in almost all spheres of my life. Everyday seems like a struggle to get ahead and since it seems so overwhelming, I am more and more at the same place and position.Status Quo! So what have been trying to do,change,achieve ....Personally- definitely more peace, better relations,to be a better mother...the usual- you get the idea,right? Professionally, trying to pick up the pieces from where I had quit and trying to build an organisation which will be about my values and my aspirations. Strangely, the more I stick with the values and aspirations, the more I dont seem to take my entrepreneurial journey to a destination. I hope to write more in the coming days about t...

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Anyone who has been at this age milestone, will more or less agree with my non-sweaty things that I am about to list below...Well and if you dont then you either havent reached that milestone yet or we just agree to disagree then- Orgasm is overrated! (It is!) You wont have it every-time you fuck someone! Lets just say there are other ways to get one as well! Does Not matter if you didnt get their name ,right! Apologize , Flash your most Gracious Smile and Move On.. Never mind if you didnt get invited to the hippest party in town! There is always the next one.. Your Mom/Dad not proud of you! Well..it does not matter in the end, as long they love you and you...  Your hair cannot be pretty everyday, even if you are model or an actor...You WILL have bad hair days. Get over it. You WILL spill that tea/coffee/wine on your blouse/shirt/dress just before the important meeting/interview /date. Make a funny story about your clumsiness and carry on with the meeting.  You will ...
