Life is just a funny game, one moment you are just happy about the latest mobile app you have downloaded and amazed at how a team could chase down 190 odd runs in a t20 match then in a second your world turns completely upside down.
We live our lives in a crystal ball, where the only thing matters to us are materialist possessions but life has a way of telling us its existence. its just hits you in the face when you least expected.
And sometimes all you can do is hope and pray and just be strong in testing times.

Some things remain constant!
There comes a point in you life when you loose yourself, you don't feel yourself in your own skin, you life completely changes, the people around you change.
The world seems a different place.
At times like these you realize some the constants in your life.
Some old friends
The taste of homemade food
The calmness of your own room
The classics on your oldest iPod
A day without phone calls
and some words on your blog
and of course A cricket match!
PURE Bliss....
Such situations in life gives you an opportunity to reinvent your self and restore some tranquility in a chaotic environment.

random expressions!
Whoever talks about work life balance is so hypocritical, they are either have no life or no work. Because lets face it if you work you can kiss life a big GoodBye.
Life is a string of crazy events and when it breaks, it puts a full stop on life.
Everyone wants a little bit of crazy in Life.

Beeeeeeee!!!
Human emotions, one cannot run away from them; can they.
At your lowest point you remember the past and in a state of shock you remember you have to go tomorrow to work.
Conflicted thoughts
And
Lost words
Lost in the infinity of a "Normal Life"
Expression is the only thing which differentiates an artist from a "a person who has a job"
(Of anonymous words to unknown writer for a invisible addressee)

Life!
Everyday I walk into the office, I get more and more convinced that this is not the place I ever wanna be. Talk of making wrong decisions and destiny playing a bad joke on me. Well after I'm part of a rat race which all my life I tried avoiding.
There comes a time when you look into the mirror and you don't recognize yourself (clichéd) but thats a situation I face everyday.
I was supposed to work in a funky place where ideas would flow and I would use my creativity and spread some aditi-isms but here I am stuck in a pressure cooker where people are stuck to staring at their screens and decreasing their grey cells by constant use of phones (thats exactly what I do all day), its just a lucky Saturday that I can even get myself to write this piece.
Its just hard for me to believe ill be doing this for the next full year.
Where is the place where they say "Do something which you like, then you'll never have to work again" why didn't anybody tell me that this statement is such a oxymoron.
I still can't believe I'm a banker :P

Why Freedom!
It seems that the world over a "freedom movement" is taking place. The generation of boomers have finally taken charge of their destiny. Stuck in place where they can't live under the shadows of their elders nor can they be as confused as their younger generations, the boomers have taken upon themselves to live the rest of their life enjoying independence and liberty.
The intrinsic need of a person is "expression of his individualism", and with mass media and internet playing the music of freedom, liberty and anti - establishment at full blast its very hard for the oppressed not to wonder. The Egyptian got rid of a corrupt establishment and will soon enjoy a democratic leadership which will allow for the first time the individual to rise in the country.
We the so called Generation X born and brought up in a democratic, secular and tolerant country sometimes take the freedom given to us for granted. Since birth we are not the slaves of royalty nor the followers of a community leader. We were groomed with formal education not is religious textures. The world is an oyster to us rather than a mine field. We made decisions because its us who want to do it, we don't follow some mislead people.
This is the true power of our generation, this is want our ancestors fought for. Freedom is when I express myself here without any inhibitions about my words.

taking sides!
They say, if you don't have an opinion then you don't exist. Let it be right or wrong but you should stand for something.
Diplomacy is a disease which kills the essence out of the good, and leaves you with a lot less people in your life. It soaks the living sense out of you and shuns you in the deep corners of self denial and grief.
For once taking sides might make you the bad, but it leaves smiles on the face you care about. I say its all worth it, if you want to see the same faces after five years still being a part of your lives, rest are just a blur going through the motions of your life.
There are things which are not done, not said, not acted upon and the build up to resentment and self doubt. Lending a hand and lifting a person up from the darkness is the fact of the matter. But that darkness and grey should not pull you inside so that you, yourself drown in the grey and the ugly.
Time and again when faced by complex human emotions, these words help me make sense of it all. Emotions have many facets but I guess I've blunted a few of them inside of myself. They have eroded over the years and shown me the real image of myself. But in the process left me with cavities.
Ive always masked my real emotions by my words but today all I want to say is, I can't be emotionally stretched, because thats one thing that will pushes me towards things which I have left behind. Life is simple for me, I have goals and a long bucket list and I live, and let others Live.
I let people make their own mistakes and learn from them, I accept them as they are, then again my intolerance for certain judgmental people is increasing, and I don't know what to do of it. I'm at that stage of my life, when I look behind I see a blur.
And my fears are coming true once again, but this time I'm stronger and it would be lot easier going through it.
