The Rolemodel

A break can do you good like no other. Sometimes, you need to take a step back and have a look at your life, and you will realize it is a mess! A good view, nevertheless. A wrecked angle never bothered me, never has - its the the window to something beautiful, a perfectly symmetrical calculated imperfection. Imperfection is an art or the art of being imperfect is a beauty, whatever works. We are often bogged down by societal pressures and give in to our loved ones' demands and in this process move closer to being the most perfect we can ever be. I read once that smart people have a responsibility to be successful. What rubbish. Smart people have a right to exist and do whatever it is that makes them happy, which I believe is what everyone of us is striving to do. It might surprise you when you wonder what all things you have become a role model for? You will be referred throughout your life, behind your back, as a role model for a variety of things - a good sportsman, religious gym enthusiast, passionate photographer, humorist, person of strong values, kindest heart and most commonly a successful person. When you take a step back and look at what you are, through clear looking glass, from a wrecked angle, and you see the mess, you know you are amongst the best role models out there. All that is left to be done is to tell your story, meet the world and you will be immortalized through your stories, the places you have been and things you have done. So take a break from your routine, it might be worth the view.

You did not say that!

When in doubt, never wink. Thats the motto that works best in almost all situations. There is no denying that there is more to this world than we will ever know and we may never get to touch the limits of knowledge. Indian society places a lot of emphasis on knowing a lot of what you are about to do at all times. Ushar, the word in my mother tongue. Yes you can be ushar if you continue to do the same things living in the same place which you know everything about. Attitude matters when it comes to approaching unknown problems and situations. There are people in this country who are closer to you than you would like, they have business to do with you. If you believe everyone has an angle and every person has his character and place in this world, then you will end up having to know the entire population of a small village in your lifetime. India has a billion people and with development, each will be of their own type. Even science does not believe a person can end up knowing so many people. Blink and they will remove the carpet from under your feet. If this is the rut, knowing everything may well be a limitation while instinct is the only solution that fits. Better to say a mouthful of incoherent loopholed arguments without batting an eyelid than to find out what there is to know about the situation. I never get tired of all the negative energy around me. It may well make me magnetic, scientifically speaking.
