Just a Thought : Thirty Five

Where will you find yourself
If the mirror does not look back at you

Margins

Resolute and charged
The champions arrived
Promising an epic
Difficult to pick
Ecstasy and agony divide the camps
The end result difficult to fathom
Triumph and defeat is merely margins
Cross over the camps, blur the lines
Walk away proud and strong
Win or less, such epics are few

PS: Wimbeldon + CWC Final 2019 

Just a Thought : Thirty Four

It takes a lot of heart and character
To do the right thing and walk away
Despite every breath screaming otherwise

Just a Thought : Thirty Three

To fight your own demons
At times you have to overcome demons of others

Hope

Through the dreaded days, stormy nights, painful meetings and tough decisions that we have to make every day, the one thing that keeps us going is hope. Hope fuels faith and the belief of a better moment than the one we are currently experiencing.

Hope also sucks the joy out of life the moment it goes missing. The moment one realises that there is no hope, life caves in.

Hope is the elixir of life. 

Shout out Loud

There seems to be an obsession for deafening loud music these days and I simply don’t get it why. I understand everybody wants to enjoy, have a good time and dance the night away, but why the deafening music. Will the party become less happening or will the fun be diluted if the music is a wee bit softer so that the ear drums don’t burst?

One can’t even go out and enjoy a beer at a decent pub without some damage to the ear drums. A dinner out with friends ends up being a dinner with your respective drink and plate as having a conversation is equivalent to scaling Mt. Everest. Just look at this paradox: A leading hangout place in Delhi is called Social but the loud music that it plays enables anything but socialising.

I know I might sound like an old bragging man, but if being young is damaging your ear drums and going out with people just to end up staring at their faces because a conversation is not possible, I’d rather be old.
