Facade`'s

'The act itself is quite simple, you strip away the outer layer and reveal what's underneath, ofcourse sometimes the results can be quite surprising,'...interesting how it sums up so many things in just a sentence. Desperate Housewives always has an amazing ending the last word that really makes one think and wonder... Beneath a happy facade` there can lie extreme unhappiness and sadness, beneath domestic bliss may lie extreme dissatisfaction, beneath cordial discourse can lie extreme jealousy and hatred. We are so good at hiding our true identities isn't it so. Politicians, intellectuals, experts etc. etc. etc. are all so good at hiding themselves and well to a certain extent infact a large extent we all hide behind facade`'s we have created. I mean here I am...I hide the fact that I want to be free...just go out there...be with the one I want to be with...FREEDOM is a blessing...just to hold his hand without fear of anyone spotting us...to engage in the chores of daily life even the simplest of things like maybe just going out shopping together...going for a drive, an evening stroll, just to go out for ice cream....is it too much to ask I wonder sometimes...why is it that we appreciate blessings when we dont' have them and stop doing so when we do...'Ramblings of a mad man' some would say...but are they really...

Bad day at work

Well i'm sure everyone goes through it but why I often wonder don't people mind their own business and let u live in peace....is there no such thing as live and let live...no such thing as professionalism or profesional ethics...one wonders. Or do I belong to the Shakespearen era. A great man said 'be the change you want to see in life' and yes I am trying at every step of my life but the deterring factors are so many. How does one walk the road of life on a straight path when others keep placing hurdles before you. I wonder sometimes- am I being too philosophical or just idiotic thinking of such things. Life has so much to offer each one of us in its own way and we all get our share of happiness and melancholy but do we really make the most of every situation, or is it just a cliche`. Well in most cases it is i think. I mean how many of us have time to just sit back and reflect on our lives even for that matter the whole day at the end of one. My solace and refuge at the end of the day is the love of my life and well my family also with whom I discuss even the minutest detail of my day. Though we don't get to talk much but then again I do wait day in and day out to just to have a word with him even if its for five minutes. Strange how life brings you closer to people...

Are we all in pursuit of something...

My first blog ever, January 5, 2010. Got me thinking since I sit alone watching movies before going to sleep and today I was watching 'The Perfect Man'. Is there such a thing as 'the perfect man'. Well come to think of it being 'perfect' is very subjective isn't it. I mean something that is perfect for me might not be so for someone else. My blog is entitled 'In Pursuit...' aren't we all in pursuit of something or the other in our lives be it money, sex, power, position, etc. etc. etc. the list is never ending. For most single women or men the ultimate goal of their lives is to meet the right 'one' and finally get hitched. But the biggest question is WHERE DOES ONE FIND THE RIGHT 'ONE'. I sometimes wonder do people really find the perfect one or in most cases they just make do with whatever life brings their way, either because the clock is ticking or beacause of social pressures. Why is it that one can never find any answers to these very simple questions?
