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!!
