It’s been quite some time I ve not scribbled on my blog post though I’ve been having late nights watching movies on my computer. Whatever the reason is, it gives me the impetus to write a new one today. Right Now!!
As I was watching Kajal, my maid’s daughter, cleaning my 50 square feet kitchen, I was once again smiling at the ironies of life. Call it good or bad it’s an adventure in itself. Till date I get amazed by the fact that I live in a studio apartment that is actually half the size of my bedroom in Howrah. While Kajal was picking up the kachra from below my wash basin which is so close to the refrigerator and the clean utensils, I was forced to wonder why do we kill ourselves everyday working so hard that doesn’t even allow a ‘healthy living’?!
I read somewhere that ‘others money and owns problem always look bigger’. Well I totally agree… its very basic human psychology. But even as I’m writing this blog, I can picture the people living next to my building on the roadside. Dude, what am I cribbing about?! Looking at them every day when I go to office, I thank God for I’m blessed with a lot that’s not available to millions out there.
Last five years in Mumbai has been a lot of fun, friends and freedom. I thank and praise God for the mercies and blessings He has showered on me but suddenly I’m in a fix. I have always been this favoured Kilo India Delta (read KID who is protected and pampered) amongst my friends, family and professional contacts. But suddenly everything looks different. Not that I’ve grown up for them now but it’s the Winds of Change. Either people have got married or moved to new cities or my life has become busy and too far from human world to actually keep in touch. I have started understanding the real meaning of loneliness. It’s not about living alone in a city, it’s not about not having anyone on your phone to dial and it’s definitely not about not having a better half….it’s about YOU. It’s about how you prioritise and align your wants, needs and wishes with the outside world so that you are happy and at peace with yourself. So here I’m trying to re-figure my life after my various experiences in the last 27 years; and as I continue to re-arrange the fundamentals with the only constant thing called CHANGE, thanks for being my friend!
