Century

Thank you for such unconditional support and overwhelming encouragement to my blogs. Expressions are so much more gratifying when they are so well received through agreements, arguments or mere reflections…

Words …

I see and observe
I hurt and feel
And yearn to express, to say
Words are my tool

I live and love
I learn and loose
And struggle to understand life
Words are my support

I try and fail
I accept and fight
And brave despondency at times
Words are my remedy

I step out and embrace
I retreat and hide
And swing with the tides of life
Words are my solace

With so much to know
I evolve and grow
And still hold on to my soul
Words are my identity

Problematic Problems

The problem with problems is that they continue for ever…

When we look back in our life, good times, bad times or just times, the only consistent piece, is problem. There is always one issue to crease, one gawking need to be fulfilled, one dilemma to resolve, one knot to untangle…

Problems are roadblock that stand in our way. They are the big tree in the backyard of our minds that cast a showdown on everything.

Funny thing is that a problem is a problem only till a bigger problem surfaces. A life-stopping, all absorbing problems simply cease to exist when a bigger problems looms large.

Also they vanish when we solve them. It’s technically correct, they should. But since most of us do not have the luxury to live our lives from an achievement to achievement but resolving a problem to next; they should be made the criteria of success and good life.

The science of problems is as convoluted as happiness. Happiness is the butterfly that we seek and problem is the monster we run from. The hues, size, impact, importance all are nothing but a reflection of us.

Rationalizing them make them smaller and insignificant, but only when they are not ours. :)
