Musings

I smiled, thinking of the futility of feelings and the futility of analyzing them.. Life is all about this. There is no final destination you’ll reach but the journey is what it is all about. Each person you meet, each incident in ur life would have diffused lots of positive and negative elements into your life. There'd have been lots of people who would have left a lasting impression in your life sometimes by making you happy or sometimes by leaving you hurt or sometimes both . That’s the whole point. Try to imbibe what you think is the best along the path of your journey so that you become one moment richer , or one memory richer(good or bad, you have only gained!), or one scene richer, one feel richer, as you go on along the road ahead. It’s like the road paved with sometimes flowers, sometimes stones, with the scenery around becoming more and more clear as you move on, with each pixel revealing itself with more clarity as you move further. Those pixels which you seek out become visible to you more, with each person in that long wide road getting his own version of the image around, seeing only those aspects which he is passionate about, only those pixels he is interested in, tuning himself more to the wavelengths of the colors of certain fragments more than that of certain others..
Its like a jigsaw puzzle which extends itself more as you think you have come closer to the solution, guided by the beautiful, bright and mellow colors of the different pieces you have managed to find out from the infinite collection of the pieces, each one specially designed for you with God’s own palete and paints. Our folly would be to hurry up through the pieces in an attempt to get the final picture which does not exist, without taking time to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of each .

Sometimes I feel that it has all just started, I feel young and yearning for something which eventually makes me sad as I know there is nothing much to yearn about. There is going to be no big surprise in the end. The journey is what it is all about. What I am yearning for is what I am going through.

Life ..is okay ..with occasional highs and lows...moving on..Is life, a perennial state of wait? .. A long wait for something anonymous. Probably this is God’s way of making me look forward to each rising sun and each falling leaf..

hmmm..i wudn really agree with the 'futility of feelings '..it is the intensity of the feeling (good or bad) that turn those momnts into memories(gud or bad)..if not for the the feelings n emotions tht those moments/people/situations bring into our lives our mind wudn deem them fit enuf to find a place in our 'memory trove'..

Futile for the fact that things which might have hurt you today might really bring about happiness tomorrow. The heights of elation which you had on something could turn into abysmal pits of depression..
They are things which u can't undo. ( reminds me of Toni Braxton's unbreak my heart ..uncry these tears..)
But yes, they leave us all behind with something, something nice, something bitter and make us richer and wise and make our 'memory trove' a real treasure! :)

Corporate Kshetra

Corporate Kshetra is a corporate satire written in the form of a multi-part series. The characters and the stories from the epic Mahabharat  are transformed and fitted into the corporate world to continue to give valuable lessons but mostly to tickle my artistic bones. Part 1:  https://deepthig.blogspot.com/2023/02/corporate-kshetra-part-1.html Part 2:  https://deepthig.blogspot.com/2023/11/corporate-kshetra-episode-2.html Part 3: Taking shape Part 4: Inception Disclaimer: This is a work of pure fiction and a figment of my imagination. Any resemblance to anyone you know is a figment of yours. Acknowledgement: And yes, very much inspired by  " The Great Indian Novel" by Shashi Tharoor which I read almost 2 decades ago  and  " The Difficulty of Being Good " by Gurcharan Das   which I read a year ago and The Mahabharat TV series on Doordarshan which I watched 30 years ago and re-watched during  Covid Lockdown.

Corporate Kshetra- Episode 1 | Context

      It is one of those major conferences that everyone goes to, in order to post on social media and show off their networking capabilities. The Corporate Guru, Vysampayna is going to be present to deliver his experiences in working with the epic story teller, Ved   Wise . Zoom links are being tested, mic and podium are being adjusted, people are already yawning and looking to get their next coffee. A rather chirpy organizer of the conference, Jay M Jay comes in and ushers in the great  Vysampayna   for the epic story telling. "It is my pleasure to welcome you all to this amazing once in a lifetime conference. Please welcome, The Corporate Guru, Vysampayna ." Applause Applause. Vysampayna takes the stage. Vy : “Such a kick to be here. By the way, Jay,  we should all pledge towards better sustainability and environment friendly practices. I noticed that the welcome drinks are given in plastic glasses . Let us be conscious about  being more sustainable in the next c

Meeting Rhett Butler.

Talked to a friend after a long time and he reminded me about an old crush of mine. I had a big crush on Rhett Butler, was head over heels for him after reading Gone with the Wind. His personality and the perfect romantic picture his masculine presence in the novel, imprinted on my mind, had blown me off my feet . As much as I hated Scarlett O ‘Hara, for her snobbishness, I liked her for her spirit. But I kept feeling that it should not have been her who should have been with Rhett!!! I hated it that a snob like Scarlett got all his attention. My crush on Rhet Butler would have been probably like Scarlett’s feeling for Ashley. (When she finally could have won Ashley, she realized that she is no more attracted to him.) Looking back, I realize how silly a feeling it was because I have come to realize that a Rhet Butler really does not exist, for his very existence will spoil his magnetism. Rhett Butler is like that complicated yet beautiful song which I had imagined myself sing a
