The Imbalance of Balancing!!

-

The Topic stems from the daily visuals of a Mumbai Life..The life of a young career oriented Guy working for N hours, stuck for breath in daily commute, worried about his parents expectations and concerned about his Friends' Botherance!!

Amidst all these is his own Tryst with Balance of Life summarised as below

1. Work
How much and How to is the dilemna. The hours put in and the inefficiency of switching oneself off from work and the ever increasing Rat race leading to the much hyped Work Stress. Few so called experts have a solution to this naming it 'Smart Work'. But the irony is be it Smart or Hard...WORK still has to be omnipresent!!

2. Parents
For those who live with their parents know this is tough. Your earnings and growth have to be better than their friends' children but at the same time you are to give them the time..the smile..the health and the social strata that follows..work is cursed if you reach home when they are sleepy...your commitment towards your work is doubtfully criticised when someone else has a new car or a foreign holiday!!!

3. Spouse
They are the biggest support ala the backbone of your goals and dreams...their sacrifices are unparalleled and their love is immense.
So is their cynicism,criticism, cribbing, stare, glare and yes...the Compensation!!
The person you want to understand often at the times when you require him or her the most turns Katappa!!!!

4. Friends and Those
They love to hang out with you, laugh with you when together....ON you with someone else. You still need to take out time when they are free..

Saale bahut Bada aadmi ho gaya hai
Saale pata hai bahut busy aadmi hai
Abbe kitna paisa chaapega
Arre...kya baat hai aaj tujhe time mila

Are the nuances you will here from people that I have started Negating for sure!!!


5. Expectations
1st Rank, Extra Curricular activities, Good Manners, Awesome college, Masters Degree, great Job, swanky Car, big house, married life, social star, hefty bank balance, foreign holiday, big deals, those diamonds, greatest Dad and  fairer skin n....n....n....do you too EXPECT me to write more!!!

6. Conclusion - Reality
With all due respects to the above pointers, I feel there can never be a perfect balance and harmony in one's life unless he sees it as it is.
Work..parents...spouse...Friends...are all an integral part of life and will remain so unless someone is a Monk!!
The only way of Balancing the ever taxing Life is by accepting what YOU Like....by knowing what YOU Want....by doing what YOU want to do...by living YOUR Dreams..
The Life that one lives is the Only Life one can and will have...Balancing is often done in the Coffin or the Pyre..Till then let's love what we love doing...let's live as we feel like Our Life...

It was that time of the year again when Akash and Priya decided to embark on a much-anticipated road trip.

The lush green landscapes, adorned with vibrant flowers and swaying trees, painted a breathtaking backdrop for their road trip. The rhythmic sound of raindrops on the roof of the car provided a soothing soundtrack to their adventure. "This sound of rain is just so soothing, Akash," Priya gushed while holding his hand. "It makes you fall in love with me all ov

Waves

She stood at the edge of the shoreline, her toes sinking into the soft, grainy sand. The rhythmic crashing of the waves against the shore filled her with a sense of serenity and awe. It was as if each wave carried a message, a story waiting to be heard. She turned to her husband of 15 years, who stood beside her, munching on the peanuts they had bought from a seaside vendor. "I just love the sound of these waves. They have a particular rhythm, a pattern, and a melody. It is indeed music to the ears," she said, a smile illuminating her face. He chuckled, his eyes crinkling with amusement. "I never knew you were a philosopher," he joked, teasingly nudging her shoulder. She laughed and gently nudged him back. "Well, you learn something new every day," she replied, her voice tinged with affection. Lost in the tranquility of the moment, they both fell silent, allowing the gentle breeze to caress their faces. The smell of the sea mingled with the sal

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day had forever been a melancholic occasion for her. While her friends revelled in the blissful entanglements of their relationships, she found herself submerged in a sea of desolation. The day served as a painful reminder of her solitude, amplifying her feelings of loneliness and longing. But this year, to the complete astonishment of her friends, who would typically mock the day's futility, she had a date! The news of her newfound romantic connection left her friends in disbelief. They were accustomed to her being the perpetual single one, the one who would roll her eyes at the commercialized nature of the holiday. Yet, here she was, breaking free from her usual melancholy and embracing the special day. However, she chose to keep the identity of her companion a secret. Deep down, she feared that revealing it might somehow cast a spell of misfortune upon her newfound excitement. Perhaps she worried that the universe would conspire against her happiness
