rELics

Its been a long time, for my last post here and I havnt posted anything after that, perhaps I dint feel like posting as I cant see anyone commenting!!! Life's been the same for me, from early waking to crwoded trains, offices and work-pressures, from new friends to cribbing-collegues, nothing has changed. Apparently, I read somewhere in some magazine (some corporate-culture-shit) that during our work phases and professional lives, we come across a lot of problems aka 'issues' (now sounds corporate), and these 'issues' soon get morphed into 'challenges'. So, today the word 'issue' or 'problem' dosent exists, but a word 'challenge' emerges. So you know what it means, that this issue is now your issue and you have to solve it and YOU have to solve it, theres no escape, but to get it done. Its a challenge. Simple. (I dont want to sound sarcastic but if I am sounding... who cares. But does make sense.... for some people like me).
So mans life is full of challenges, like my bosses say - "its now your responsibilty ( to dismental this atomic bomb ) I am not going to keep following-up with the world".. Challenges have to exist, a life without challenge is like an empty boat sailing in infinity.
Every day is a challenge for many people like me or like Malti Joshi (my 83 year old land-lady with a ears till MUTE - she wont be able to hear an atomic bomb explosion until its lip-readed), or any other mumbaikar who travels from one corner of the city to other for a FEW MORE THOUSAND RUPEES and some people who are physically and mentally challenged. People think they are wiser, and they dont take-up things, especially some of them just like to deligate and escalate things. Forward work related mails, and bitch with that sad smile. And some think they are even wiser, they try to peep in others monitors and forget their work, as if the designers monitor has come from heaven and the designer has come from NASA. The clients expect they'd get a moon designed for them for a cost of slippers meant for rain. And worst is when the conductor stairs at you when he comes to know that you are falling short of one rupee and your wallet is empty, and he gives you a ticket three stops before your destination, and some beautiful females walking at your desk and asking for a favour, and once its done - they wont even fake a smile. And many more wise people who think they are wise and vice versa.

Thanks for reading my post and wasting your time on my stupid writing, I would not stop writing it and listing to 'System of a Down', 'Papa roach' or P. Floyd, as I cant survive with it. (I had 3 large peg's of Bacardi before writing this, but trust me I am not drunk, my writing is the proof ;)I have challenged myself...

Well...
Amazing thoughts.. Nice post. I think once drunk, you speak nothing but the truth :p....
Actually we all are sailing in the same boat.. You, me or for that matter Aajji... challenges come and you over come.. again they come and you try this time more desperately to overcome.. That keeps your life moving..... Yah, but why all this? Sometimes I feel that I a waiting…. Waiting and waiting but for what? I don’t know.. Am waiting for the peace of mind? What after achieving that as well? Am I waiting for the happiness – that I get after overcoming challenges… when will the cycle stop? May be I think I am waiting for this cycle to stop where I know it will never end and if it ends, life will end..
This post made me to think all this crap – Rutu you were drunk but without drinking you made me to behave like the one :p
