Hand behind your success...


As they say, “There is always a strong hand behind every successful project” , though I believe a hand behind the project which is in midst of the ocean, top of the wave looking over the next; just like being pushed off a hill on a brakeless bike....needs a hand with much more horsepower.



Stars in the day, sweat dripping off the forehead, butterflies in stomach, trembling of legs....

Each one of us have gone through some situation like this, be it because of love, boss, family, friends....some go through it just because they enjoy living in constant tension...☺☺

Whatever be the reason, each one of us have that strong hand behind, wherein we know just a phone call and without any judgments passed, that hand would show the strength of getting 5 delicate fingers together and punch the situation in its face.

But unfortunately closeness is inversely proportional to appreciation...

The person who shows you the scattered millions of lines on your hand when brought together can hit the situation such that it could create lines of success on its FACE!
But we more than often forget to appreciate that pillar...Today, I would like to thank mine...


PS: Dedicated to Aditi...

Perfect

The sun is too harsh on my beautiful wings, I do not think I should be getting out to have nectar from the flowers anymore...

The rain water these days has more of pollution than rain, I do not think I should fill up anymore...

The foreigners this season are less, I do not think I should send breeze to the Goan ground anymore...

Do these sound familiar......NO!
Not to me, because no matter what; the butterfly never fails to collect nectar from the flowers, the lakes never seize to fill in rain water, the breeze still blows our mind out (specially if its Goan breeze☺).

Then,
how is it that a job not including dishes from my dream menu...I quit!
how is it that a lover who does not express the love as per my dream menu....I quit!
how is it that a parent not reacting as per my dream menu...I quit!

I admit it is tempting to wish for the perfect job, perfect lover, perfect parent, perfect outfit...but maybe the best we can do is not QUIT and ACCESSORIZE to our best ability of what we’ve got.
One should always remember, there is nothing in milk which turns over night into your favorite ice cream...one needs to accessorize it with sugar, cream, eggs, flavor to fit it perfect  as per the dream menu.

The Coffee Table...


Two hot cappuccinos, sachets of sugar, two cute  spoons....One table, two personnel...Yes the coffee shop I was at yesterday!

Hours of conversation, then the walk back home....made me wonder – the two entities that heard me talk,  was the person on the other side of the table and the table itself...

Out of which I have full confidence in both that the discussion won’t leak out...One because I trust enough and the other because, it can’t.

Still the thought, what is the probability of the conversation reaching someone’s ears with added spice....Am sure the table is not the one who can do this!


Is it that the closest of people we have in life need to be kept a little away from the truth so that in their weak moments, the details don’t go out...
OR is it good to be like tables....without emotions, without break down points, without passion; so no scare of leaking out???
Imagine what would life be then....

Its good to have some trust mixed with a pinch of mistrust THAN no trust at all...
Its good to have some sweet emotions mixed with a pinch of rudeness THAN no emotions at all....
Its good to have brain storming intellectual conversations with a pinch of nonsense talk THAN no talks at all...
Its good to have sweet romance with a pinch of aloofness THAN no romance at all...
Its good to have a passionate person with a pinch of mood swings THAN no passion at all...

I rather talk to a person and live with a percent of doubt for details slipping out than talk to a table....with whom you have 100% assurity but 0% percent involvement...

This is it...


Just when you thought, this is it...
S/He gave his hand to hold on to and helped you crossover,

Just when you thought, this is it...
S/He hugged and assured you that all would be fine,

Just when you thought, this is it...
S/He presented a flower, showing the beauty of life,

Just when you thought, this is it...
S/He gave you his shoulders to cry, reminding you of the care still alive...


Lets once again embrace and give a big hug those in our lives who HOLD us when we are about to declare - THIS IS IT...!
