Why are we so blind to see...

I remember hearing this song when i was in my MBA days.. dont remember the title or for that matter the singer either... just these 2 lines stuck in my head...

Oh why are we... so blind to see...
That the ones we hurt... are you and me...

Its the truest statement and assessment for almost every relationship i have been a part of or even observed closely. The people who hurt us the most are always the ones we care about the most - and vice versa. Of course its self-explanatory why it hurts more. 

but a bigger tragedy is when we kind of start ignoring each other... or taking the US for granted. Because you can recover from a difference of opinion, but not from your partner not having an opinion at all on things which matter to you, or sometimes YOU. 
So i guess thats enough of a context to explain why the lines below were coming to me a few days back...

When the hug gets a little loose, 
The conversations get a bit stilted
When the presence makes you wish for absence...Know that the hearts are wilting.                                                                  
When the touch becomes routineAnd the thoughts get mundaneWhen a deep sigh is your hourly routine...Know that the minds are distancing...
When you long for a moment of togetherness sitting next to each other,When things unsaid are more than thoughts shared,When judgements come faster than support...know that the end is nigh....x

Starting Over...

In life, beginings and ends form such a crucial part of living - never have i realised it more than in the last month or so. Both personally and professionally - too many things are ending and too many new ones are beginning. Its very easy to get nostalgic about whats ended - easier still to forget that it was us who wanted that stage to end ourselves. All because somewhere or the other in our heart - we're scared of the next stage... scared of not being sure... maybe of not having the comfort of belonging - like how we did earlier. Leaving aside the personal changes - professionally, after working for 14 years non-stop, i quit. To the world - i've taken a 'break'. No plans, No hidden cards (yes i got told that by quite a few), No waiting-by-the-side offers... just needed to not feel fatigued in life and figured that it IS after all, MY OWN LIFE... so i can do what feels right to me... without guilt, or feeling irresponsible, or even just guilt of being lazy!! Its my go

Its Father's Day today...

Its quite strange that for a society like ours which thrives and survives on family values - we never had these 'days' as a part of our culture. not that it means that we dont value these relations - just that i would have loved to have more days to celebrate these lovely relations! its the same as having a birthday - its not that you dont love that person the rest of the 364 days - but that day makes him/her feel extra special!! and what's life if not a collection of these small moments of feeling 'special' to someone... so am all for all these 'days' - tho' pls i do draw a line at celebrating 'boss day'!!! :-) Anyways - back to the topic "My Daddy Strongest!!" - this line never failed to make me smile everytime i saw it on TV... Its always strange for me to describe my relation with my dad... am the youngest of 3... dad was 38 when i was born... busy struggling to keep a roof over the family's head having left his family business

Chauvinism rears its head again...

Maybe had just got spoilt with the lull on this front ... but when faced with an in-ur-face display of chauvinism happened, i was yet again caught by surprise! why do i keep getting surprised still after so many years, i dont know... maybe am just too slow in my head!! ;-) in my head - an educated, corporate professional who's been in existence in this current world scenario - when asked 'do your sisters work?' DOES NOT reply with an 'of course not!' in my head - the above described person DOES NOT insist on 'homely' (read : non-working) as a pre-requisite for his life-partner! in my head - the above described person is fictional!! :o) but no - with my luck - trust me to run into this person... and since i firmly believe that there's always a reason why anything happens in life... i shall aim to look for reasons here as well... 1. had to remember the lessons learnt in body language (limp handshake = limp mind and who knows limp what else!!) he he!! 2. h
