Getting a feel !!

WRITING !! Brings back memories of childhood when I used to write kiddish poems. I never got a chance to make them public ( Thank God.... I would say.... It's better you laugh it off rather than people laughing at it :) ) Here I am, trying to get a feel of what I know best ! The art of expression !! The passion for writing has now been re-KINDLEd !! 

I owe a lot of my penchant for writing to my Mom, who has always inspired me to write, which is the best way to emote. Any blemishes in my first blog should be forgotten. It's not a request.... It's mandatory, if you want to read on !! :) बच्चा समझ के माफ़ कर दो !! :)

This blog of mine is dedicated to the experience of a lifetime. I walk into office one fine day only to find that, some people other than me, decided to seal my fate. That was the time I realized, what my life used to be. I was a completely different person after the incident. A calm and composed exterior masked the tumultuous uproar of emotions deep within. That's when I realized the importance of staying grounded. I had led a life of tremendous fun and this was the testing time. No matter how strong a man you are, you need emotional support during your testing times. I hadn't realized that till then (and even now I wouldn't accept that here... ego issues you see). I am grateful to God, that I received a lot of support from people, some strong, some fragile (fragile refers to a physical attribute). It does take a lot of effort to get the spirits up, when every vector in the field of life points downwards.

I suddenly, had all the time in the world to do what I wanted to do. Too much of anything gifts you indigestion. I suddenly felt like a kid craving for attention and I was pampered too nevertheless. Seldom do people realize that when a certain thing goes terribly wrong, it's tough to restrict that in a manner that it doesn't affect the other things. But, that's what happens when a fruit in a basket gets rotten and the others rot in no time. It takes a lot of maturity to handle things and that was something out of my reach. Unknowingly, my relationships started getting affected. Problems generally share a one to many kinda relationship and it takes some vision, patience and thinking to get out of them. The experiences, the overwhelming support, the highs, the lows made it one hell (heaven doesn't go too well) of an experience. Now that I have taken things in my stride, it's become easy to express these things. A lot remains unsaid here regarding some emotional upheavals and some interesting discussions I had during this period, which would come out in due course of time and through some different channels. The important thing is that perspectives change depending on what you are going through and this episode in my life just testified this fact. I have some thoughts for the people who would go through similar things (God forbid) as I am not someone who gives advices anymore:

1. When you are neck-deep in shit, never open your mouth (coz you may end up tasting it.... sounds gross but its true.)

2. Somethings are best when kept to yourself.

3. A bit of patience and a little more of the same, is the key. 

4. The major major finding of mine is that: NEVER READ TOO MUCH INTO WHAT PEOPLE SAY (you would be in peace and so would they)

I would like to thank some people for the immense support I received and for the courage I could muster to write about this. Hope my first blog has not been a disaster coz....there are many more to come !! 

To be continued !!!!
