I had been on a social network detox for some time now trying different combinations of deactivating the account and staying away. I will devote another blog to this feeling but here I will cut it short to let you know that it had been a peaceful period throughout.
It was just a detox you see and I had not taken any oath to not get back, something which I would have done but could not do thanks to my inner self which has always been an attention seeker! Don’t you think that I really tend to lead astray- I would not call it beat about the bush because I need to form a “bhoomika” for my blogs and this gives me the creative liberty to wander and all those who wander are not lost said someone I do not know.
Anyway, what finally forced me to write was this small time pass that had engrossed me yesterday. So I am really fond of this Patanjali product called “harad” and I eat it three tablets at a time for the awesome taste it has. So I was trying to take three tablets out but four came and when I intended to put back the 4th one, it was the 3rd that went back in. Just to tell you- I had mentally demarcated the four tablets as 1, 2, 3 and 4 and hence the differentiation.
So you see people, life is just like that- totally unplanned and you seriously do not know what is coming out of the box for you and in your attempt to make it right, what would the implications be! All this while, all of us keep trying to make up for a happy living but then, the reason there are so many quotes about life is that it is unpredictable. The only thing which you can be sure of is that you would react in one way or the other- what way it would be is a mystery too.
Having had some not so good times myself like everyone has, I could infer one thing and that is how my system fights with anything “not good”- I simply shut my mind’s shutters on it. Neither do I fright nor do I flight, I go into an “I will fight it out when it becomes totally difficult to avoid” and meanwhile let me work on what is still in a good shape or easier to handle.
We usually take up the harder things first thinking that it would take the most time. Wrong! The easier ones should be finished first and then these hard ones, they can be solved later. Isn’t it funny that when we follow this “easier first” concept in our exams, we tend to go the other way in our lives where it actually matters.
What I mentioned in the last two paragraphs has been working for me ever since I grew up enough to understand the vagaries of life. It has not been easy, but it has not been impossible too and believe me, if I can do it, so can anyone.
See, it is not going to be easy, never ever; at our own levels, we will always find things going hay wire. So, just pop the first three candies and enjoy them, the fourth one will eventually fall in place one day.
And by the way- even if you want to exchange the candy in your hand with the one that fell in the box, aren’t they all the same in there?
(Confused Genius knows that this one is not really getting into flow so let us just take it as an introductory one. The points that we just introduced here, I shall write in detail on these mechanisms further in the series. Keep waiting)
