The whole world seems to be preparing for the G20 summit. From US to China, they are all harping about what Modi is planning to do, or atleast that's what our media wants us to believe.. Anyway, the best by product of hosting the G20 is the sprucing up of the city that is being done. Suddenly the MCD cleaners are sweeping all the visible scraps of plastic on the road (something they should've always done but never did), all dividers and flyovers are being painted, all signages are up and erect, all street lights are functioning... the list is endless... and it is amazing how perfect we wish to be when we have visitors, yet how shabby the original condition still is.. But the biggest realization is how nice and functional every civic amenity would be, if they all did their job properly ! So the next time you clean up your house when you have visitors, don't feel bad... that's what even countries do :) :D
All of insecurity is nothing more than a half-baked doubt.
ReplyDeleteDoubt thrives on/in silence. All that needs to be done is breaking it.
@your comment on 'stolen' -
That is the paradoxical beauty of time, that for every beautiful, brand new moment that dissolves into your presence, there are many more beautiful ones being stolen in your absence.
Maybe it is our passivity, or a testament to its undeniably seductive beauty, that we silently endure this furtive theft of memory, this one dimensionality of time.
Sometimes saying things too loudly is as bad as staying mum on an issue...
ReplyDeleteI guess the debate of doubt & insecurity is like the chicken & the egg problem...
'Sometimes'. That's the key. The challenge lies in identifying the 'times' that constitute those 'sometimes'.
ReplyDelete@ dheeraj: very true, but in case of being unable to identify the situation.. I'd rather give it the benifit of doubt ;)
