This, that and the other

Our daily lives can easily become filled with stress, pressure and confusion so much so that we can end up…….. feeling like crap. At times it’s the drudgery of everyday, at others, a fight with a friend. The former is easier to overcome. Voila a favourite book, funny movie. The latter can be very dangerous. Anger clouds your discretion and everything you say becomes right and the other person starts mouthing mindless things. This doesn’t happen every day or every week or even every month but when it does……….you know it has. You know it has dented your friendship irrespective of who’s right and who’s wrong. Maybe you’re both right. Maybe you’re both wrong. You are after all different people with different aspirations, ideals and motives irrespective of what the history book says(ha!). Walk a mile in the other person’s shoes before you say no to their request for a new pair. Maybe you took it too seriously. Maybe you weren’t being serious.
Sometimes, you feel disappointed and in despair because someone you counted on let you down. People can fail. Even your best friends or those you love the most can fail. Accept that. If you’re wrong, apologize. It’s better than living with a guilty conscience. last but not the least, don’t clutter your mind with worry, it leaves less room for the good stuff! And as I always do and will say, eat chocolate.

Note: I only fight with my mom and with shubhi both of whom are very special no matter what crap I say when I am mad. Besides, I haven’t fought with either of them for a long time which is why I was able to put everything in perspective with a cool head. I wrote a poem today.

I am singing a voiceless requiem,
A requiem to the past,
I am beckoning the future,
A promising rendition of the past?

Now, I sing a happy note,
I hope it isn’t a lone jaunt,
I hum with care, the crescendo,
Not a distant mirage.

A voice from inside tells me to go on,
I will hark.

ps:I am blogging so often because I don't have much to do. An idle mind is a devil's workshop.
