to Mumble or to Tumble out

-
If there is one line from Fight Club that I feel nails the philosophy of life, it is this.

 All a gun does is focus an explosion in one direction.

 We think, we think more...we overthink...
but more often than not, we don't talk...
we bottle it up...

 All it takes is a trigger...
for it to all come tumbling out...
and then, we suddenly start saying things...... 
which...
we never would have..

 leading to an impact and a recoil...
neither of which is desirable..

 It's okay to count to 10 and backwards before you start talking... but there has to be a limit to which you keep swallowing your words.

    There absolutely has to be a limit to how much a person will stay quiet. I personally have *always* benefitted when I spoke after the limit got crossed over.

      But speaking after breaching a personal limit tends to lead to outbursts instead of meaningful discussions and healthy debates.

After a long long time, I'll be doing something I've really wanted to do...  Did I have to make some alternate settlements... maybe... Will it live up to the hype of it all... can't say... Was it worth a try.. only time will tell... But there is something very clear in my mind... I am glad I'm trying it out.. Because clearly, this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time now...

Charades we play

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

An Apology

A lot of us believe that we should apologize for the wrong we've done...True.. But I've observed that a Sorry seems to be an easy shortcut... Uttering the one simple word seems to wash away the wrong-doing... We might not even pay as much attention, when we just utter the sorry...  And obviously now, thou shall be forgiven !!!
