And then some more

on occasions that is.When things will not go according to plan,when life will throw you lemons and curve balls all at once and you wouldn't know which one's to juggle or to juggle them all together. And still ,no matter how much of a master juggler you may be, you will drop that occasional ball ( or lemon,as the case maybe). Cause parents/kids or you would get sick;house-help will not turn up on days or worse,just quit without notice( could even mean your assistant at work);your most reliable appliance will break down leaving you to do a lot of work manually ( and hence take up a lot of your time);or worse still u'll lose a loved one via death,separation etc. But can you still keep going back on wheel and keep at it-pursuing the passion that is? This post is linked to my earlier one from the other day on passions and how most of us are more of Jacks than actual master of anything.Many us lose focus on our true passions,when faced with situations that are not part ...

A certain Miss Universe who rose to fame and glory by being the first Indian to get that coveted crown,and getting those plum bollywood offers,gave it all up cause she couldnt "breathe,eat,drink and live" in the movie world alone.She wanted to do more with her life,so she went on to adopt 2 girls and write poetry as well. Reading that recent interview of hers,resonated so much with me that I never realised how often I have been faced with this dilemma .The famous adage" if you love your work, then it's work no more",applies to my life and still doesnt necessarily ring true. I am passionate about my work,about being an entrepreneur,the corporate life and then I'm passionate about reading,writing,dancing, theater,about being a change-maker of some sorts, and all that's in between.  The fact that I like entertaining my  family and friends in my house and getting my son the best education (not just academics,mind you) being on my list of passions too,i...

Contradictions of life Never ceasing to exist Refusing to co-exist Yet,finding ways to create Cohesiveness between the opposites that do not attract, but retract. Balancing the obvious with the surreal trying to kock-off stereotypes And creating new images from a time in the future. Contradictions in self never harmonising. Conflicting,constricting,contriving at all times. Each face opposing the other. The outer self demanding an influence on the one thats inside. The demands not met, rather increasing everyday with the contradictions, rising in every way.

Bruised soul,Battered minds, Amazed at how things keep coming back To bite you, snarling at you. Life comes full circle, those in the know are heard saying all the time. But do even the incidents you would rather forget have to keep coming back? Why cant life be linear? Where things go from bad to worse and then take leap and get better to best And where we never have to look back. Let the bruises of the soul heal and let them not be reopened to bring membrances of gone-by era. Let the pain of today not be entwined with that of the past so that the healing progress uninterrupted. Let the sorrow of today not blame yesterday, that was not related to the days where the faces were different emotions definitely not the same. But the Bruised soul and battered minds are still the same.

My soul died inside me, My heart exploded in angst, My body exhausted itself, My mind became comfortably numb. And all this because no one heard the voice inside, that was talking louder than the loudest speakers around. No one realised that yearn inside of me,that was seeking To fulfill it's desires.
