A crack in the wall


Some days, it is really hard to love life. It is literally the one most unexplainable certainty, even if it is for one fleeing second. And when it happens almost every day, something has to give. These days, I feel that. I feel something has to change in life for me to feel the love inside of me, else, I will keep staring at this altercation in the mirror and wonder, what is staring back. Perfection is a difficult mistress to lap dance with, but so is imperfection. “Done” sounds a promising mistress, yet, it borders at being undone, that seeking it almost always seeks the “undone” too. Yeah, I know, that it is a convoluted sentence that sounds warped to mean something, but does not. But honestly, it does, don’t you think? Anyway, today is one of those days, where it is difficult to accept being an idiot when proof exists right in front of my eyes. Not that every day I think otherwise, but it would be nice to not have proof of being an idiot that obvious. I mean, how many days can we bare ourselves, for the world to scream “Idiota” at us? Once in an occasional while, yes, but not every alternate day. It is kind of irritating, right? Particularly, when it matters more than anything else, that it hurts to think that I let myself down by my own conscious choice. Actually, come to think of it, I have been letting myself down over the past few years. Not days, but years! And I have no excuses for it. Well, all I have is excuses, but that makes me feel even more pathetic. I hardly spend time with myself for me to yearn for something that means something to me. And that, in a nutshell is my problem. And today, having realized it, makes me feel that much more idiotic.

Having vented out all of that, it is time to focus on something that is positive. However worse it show cases, there is always a positive out of the dramatic unnecessary event and that, is the realization that, as long as I am willing to bend my back, I can turn things around to the way I want them. Exactly when have I stopped wanting things the way I see them, is not something I am willing to recollect, but that has got to stop. This is not how it is supposed to be. This is not what I envisaged myself to be. I am not patient, I do not deal with failures well and I certainly do not have all the time in the world. I seek what I want with the unwavering aim of an arrow released and I fight tooth and nail for what is, in my humble opinion, right. And I do not know when I let it slip by me, this flaw that accepts the present and aims for the next turn, but that will change. That is a promise to myself.

Too late???

His pride took a ride, yet the fear for her, overbearing every rationale. The terrorists are loose in the city and the thought of her life in danger, however remote the possibility caused him to swallow his ego and ask of her again, “Please…” “I would rather be within the touching distance of a suicide bomber”, she said. Turning her back to him, she walked away, muttering, “So typical of him to think I require him now, as though I have not survived without him. I do not need him to feel secure in my life. I am happy and perfect and ….” “Are you?”, her conscience questioned. “Yes” “Stop lying to yourself at least”, her conscience countered. “I am not”, she a...

Happy Birthday, my love

Any resemblance to people or to the situations in the real world, is purely coincidental. --------------------------------------- Abhi was staring at the computer, hoping for some miracle, as his new problem does not seem to dissolve at his persuasive attempts. The clock keeps ticking as the seconds tick to minutes and into hour. At the strike of six O’clock in the evening, his calendar snoozed reminding him that he promised his girl friend a ride and dinner, as her birthday present. His heart did a flip flop as he realized he might not make it and ruin her perfectly good day. “Are you done?”, his manager was standing next to him. “Not even close”, he responded. His manager grunted and went his way. Abhi was frustrated. He loved his work and prided himself on his priorities and days like this, he wished he was working else where than this timeless job he landed himself in. ...

Answer them and then tag your friends from the blog-o-sphere. Leave a comment on their blog letting them know they have been tagged and you are all set. Yesterday Your oldest memories Amazing how things of past cling on to you as memories that last forever. And those memories drive us to live a life amidst every chaos that erupts round us. There are a bunch of memories in my casket, each extremely warm and beautiful. To pick one is likely to be a tricky task. C’mon, I need some help here, which one to pick??? Will pick a memory when I was about seven years old. The kid in me fancied climbing hills, mountains, trees, buildings. But for a kid, do mountains or hills or peaks make sense? I think not, or I remember, trees and buildings are something that I thought should be mounted with extreme caution of a monkey. And I was v...
