Learn to be Still

"Stretch your leg deepsy... relax. Everything is going to be alright. You have got to take a break." said my inner voice...

Oh you so want to keep the cake and eat it too??? They asked. Shriya shot back "Why the fuck would I want to keep the cake if I cant eat it?" I just nodded like a puppet, standing there, I knew I just could not agree any more than I already did.

You know how some scenes from your life get stuck in your head... Not that you think of them everyday, but its a moment that you remember everything about. According to me these moments remain for a reason. It doesnt happen for nothing. This happens only coz at that very moment God marks a day in your calendar when you'll 'get it'.

I still remember walking into this Archie's gallery store, in Chennai. I think it was towards the end of 1998. The door had a poster of a small baby in black and white, with his finger pretending to scratch his head and it read "Decisions Decisions Decisions". I remember thinking which idiot would buy that poster... But now i know how much it could hurt when you are stuck and cannot, for the life of you, make a decision. And all you are expected to do is the make one.

I ve spent the past few weeks in a total whirlpool of events and emotions. Each pointing in different directions like a thousand dysfunctional compasses stacked on top of each other.

Kasturi thinks aloud "Scarlett O'Hara says it so well 'I'll think about it tomorrow'"

In fact I seem to have inspired Shriya to use a line over and over again, after I repeated to her what Arun said in the car while I went paranoid over timelines for our BPC's yearly objectives. It makes so much sense; "We shall cross the bridge, when it comes"

In all this, there's one thing one doesnt know... how...?

Shriya asks a valid question yet again, "What do you know that wont change even after a million years?" Now if you answer this question, nothing should shake your faith then. Why are you so worried?
