Withering Heights

-
There is a grace in a withering yellow leaf, 
floating in the breeze before it falls on the ground...

Alas, all things come to an end, And this does too...
It is on us to decide what we choose.

A graceful exit as we wither and float,
till we finally land on the ground,
lifeless, yet free..

    Sometimes I feel that good exits are precious. Life's gambles of entries and exits keep breaking hearts I think, but a quote sits with me when I can't answer it all - "don't be dead serious about your life, its just a play" - Sadhguru. What ever it might mean. Hope you've been well.

      I agree.. the moments of entry and exit into this world are the 2 things which are beyond our control. The rest, which is actually in our scope, is wasted in frivolous things.

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

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...

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 !!!
