Get those Black & Whites out !!


Get those Black & Whites out !!



It’s been a harrowing experience so far... I like a wise crack thought that I had cracked it by acclaiming self set standards of being a solver for all – Alas!! Dissolver of self!!

I often felt that while the garish world around did magnetize me, I was far beyond it cos’ even if I try attempting being one of them (The not so soulful though successful – not so giving though so taker – not so selfless but far too much selfish) I would prove even the most tried & tested & retried attempt so futile!!

Indeed a soulful cry for being able to be who I am but at the cost of some bridges burnt.

A soulful cry for though being able to be a black & white and craving to still get some grey (They say – Yes those 4 mortals (Vo chaar log!!)  That grey is the best that suits our creed!!)  I make yet another futile attempt as it may appear right now that I will still choose & churn amongst the black & white only … Grey for me is the colour of the malice  - colour of  pretense – color of not being who you are and trying to be that someone else who to my surmise is already trying to play someone else !!

Droll that it may seem this is infact the nub of most of the grey wrenches we are submerged into.

So go get your basics right – yes I meant the colors!! Be brave – bold - blatant & see the pride in being who you are – My white and black could be someone’s far thought of colors but remember all comes to basics at the end and the rainbow would then surface!!

Bappa’s Benedictions!!


 

Fervor -- Fever – Food – Frolic!!
 

It’s all begun in the Grand Ishtyle – once again – same time – same place -- same ppl... So what’s different while I thought to make this as my new blog add on ;)

Y’day while I was sauntering in pathway just across my home I saw this humungous idols all clad in colors – drapes and a strange aura around them – I was awed too – ‘HE’ is so easily found – so easily seen around these days & so easily could be bought with just some moolahs !!

Right across the road a Marwari vendor was loud & gave his sales pitch – ‘Amcha Kade mast Bappa ahe’ ( in English – ‘that he had the best Ganpati with him’ ) ---  I nonchalantly walked towards him and saw that he had the biggest Bappa’s around … but had very less buyers L No brownie points to guess why --- Yaya you don’t need to be an economist to decipher this – Big & better Bappa’s were directly proportional to the Big moolah’s and our poor rupee using junta  for obvious reasons went to the miniature bappa corner  to get their share of benedictions in the form of colour clad porcelain make of our good godly friend – Ganesha  .

Amidst the gleaming gods there were some unavoidable shades of not so gleaming mortal world too! All of us dwarfed with the environ around asking for more with so less to give – wanting all of it without having to give all!!

All of us need a lil’ more marmalade – Try giving some you have & then seek to get just some more it .. It’s an equation out there --Seek a lil’ more Marmalade & share it too!!

Bappa benedicts in proportions!!

As I near the Milestone ********

Yet another day & I draw myself closer to this milestone -- I thought I'd be fretting & there'd be some witchy winds breezing through my balcony  as the barometric signals shout --- Its 30 !! Its 30 !! 

Finally the milestone is just round the corner & Phew !! No windy witchiness -- Life's as usual --  5 day: 2 day cycle of work & life :) 5 days of work & 2 days of lil' less of it  & we call this life ....

Digressed from what I intended to write while I try to defocus on the greeny greeny -- fat veins appearing on my hands -- is it the sign of having come closer to the milestone ??( This sounds witchy !!  Naaaaah  these obvious ones are genetically inherited  ) 

 Lemme also put it on record that I see this milestone as any one of the earlier one that's gone past but this one's special cos today I feel more of me with me -- I don't feel lonely while I am alone -- I feel to have been there & done some of it ; ) -- I feel I have lived & gathered enough moral, mental strength to walk the onwards journey 

Today I pen down few things that I guess all of us 'the fairer sex''-- NEED TO KNOW & NEED TO HAVE by 30 !! ( Sssshhhh ..,  before we see those socially created pangs of witchy winds coming through your balconies !!

 :: Need  to Know ::
  • How to fall in love without losing yourself & never to be lonely while alone 
  • How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn’t like to happen next.
  • That you can’t change the length of your legs, the width of your hips but you can still look hot ! 
  •  What you would and wouldn't do for money or love
 :: Need  to Have::
  • A youth you’re content to move beyond ( I have around 5 white hair just next to my widow's peak !! -- Proud of it -- often said to be a sign of Great Luck ) 
  • A lavish piece of jewel  not previously owned by anyone else in your family/friend circle 
  • Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour !! 
  • A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age.
  • The realization that you are actually going to have an old age -- and some money set aside to help fund it.
  •  An email address, a voice mailbox & a bank account -- all of which nobody has access to but you'.( Yes & needless to say your own Blog too !!  ) 
Cheerzz to the High Spirits  -- Rejoice & dont forget to ask  for a Lil'' more Marmalade :) 

Love & Luck 
Shippss ...

My Musings !

Uncharted Territories  ...
Where I have Been Before Is a Blur of Memories, Where I am heading to are uncharted Territories !
Where I am now is what I am trying to Decipher …
I have been thinking… a bit too much I suppose. How life changes. For some it takes an instant for others it takes a lifetime, but change is  inevitable  , won’t use any adages here on our very own all potent TIME treats us ;)
Get hold of some sand in your hands, and clench your fists. What goes away are the moments that were not yours, what remains are what you deserve so here I am with my gold sand .. Living ..lightening ..loving and looking forward . 

Love & Luck 
ShiPpPs :)
