Sparks and Security

For Callie, it always has been about seeking and yielding security. From the time she learnt about feelings , being secure was everything to her. When she had her first teenage crush, she thought this is it,' he's going to be my soulmate'. Her little heart broke the very next moment, when she saw her crush talking to a lot of other girls at school.

Such cute age! All of us I am sure have been through such benign feelings.

But when you actually feel a connect , a sparkle, do you start sinking in the feeling as eternal or do you start feeling anxious that the twinkle may be lost soon?

With Callie, anxiousness always crept in. The fear of losing out, the fear of being left behind, the fear of not working out always topped the perpetuity. Callie had always seen security worked the best.If you are secured at work space , you are happy. If you have secured trust in your partner, you are happy. 

But, what about the happiness that the sparkle brought, what about the one that chemistry brought? Does that last forever?


Callie told herself a best bet would be  always security with some sparkle, still questioning herself does such a balanced world even exist?

P.S: This post is a result of coffee chronicles with the head :)

Do any of us feel the same insanity?

Would love to hear some voices around here.

Many Different Reasons

One or Two,
I wish there were only few,
But there are,
Many different reasons
I do not pine for you.

I try try and try,
Not to let out a cry.
Not to ask furthermore WHY?
And there again, I rapt into,fresh new pry.

One or Two,
I wish they were not new,
But there are,
Many different reasons
That led to the eScrew
And how I wish,you knew.


Finally a light of nous,
That came to arouse,
In me, the zeal and the verve.
Now, One or Two,
I wish there were more to do,
Because now I like,
The Many different reasons
That do not usher me to you.

A Day In The Life of a Beauty Therapist.

It is 6:30 A.M. She is up and about to follow her day-to-day regime. Breakfast and  a quick shower follows  her morning prayer rituals. She then hops on to the ride number 317, her daily shuttle to work.

It is 9:30 A.M. She is at the salon and is going  through her scheduled appointments for the day,making mental note of returning clientele. She,sure has a mundane routine but she has fun ways to deal with them too.

When I am getting my manicure done, we prattle a tad in hindi.


Me: "Didi, how many clients do you serve in a day?"
She: "8-10 approximately!", was her swift reply.

Me: "Ah! That's a lot." I comment.
She: "Aap company me kya kaam karte ho?" (What kind of work do you do at the company), was her interrogatory remark.
Me to Self: O'Dear Lord! Give me the strength to explain business analysis to her in simple hindi.

Let me add here, that I possess powers to speak hindi in ways that make me the subject of mockery everyday among my peers.Hence, to explain the job description of a business analyst was beyond my scope.I end up giving her some naive insight into computers.

Me: "Don't you get bored doing the same beauty treatments on a daily basis?"
She: "No!" .She said with a broad smile. "I try to jabber with most of them."

I learn that some patrons just want to keep hushed as their idea of a visit to the salon is relaxation. On the other hand there are homo-sapiens like me love quick banters at any time of the day.
By now, I think you figured out the inspiration behind this blog post. :)

Me: Do you face any snag at work?
She: "Yes! There is a long list. We find it very annoying to wax fetid underarms. I offer them some deodorant putting across a marketing stint." She laughs loudly. "Then, there are times when women want to get all chatty when I have a throbbing headache."
I smile.
Me to self: "Sigh! So much to provide beauty care to others."


It is 8:00 P.M.
A couple of facials,a couple of body massages and several waxes later, she is all primed to take the 317 ride back home.

She never ceases to smile even after 10 hours of work.This lady never once utter's my favorite verdict 'I am so over my job'. She tells me that she loves making other people happy by taking care of them. Untiringly, she is such an inspiration for my daily regime, to go on 'No Matter What!'.
 More power to this impregnable woman!

Mind Wanders

The mind wanders,
To that happy place,
Still making me smile,
Although it has been a while.

The mind wanders
in between pleasant moments,
wondering how would it be right here, right now?

It requites then, nodding 'YES'!
It would have been different,
But, would it be the furthest?
Would you like the sundry tests?

The mind wanders, sometimes, asking what if,
No keeps,
Do you still view weeps?

The heart then begins to thwart,
Safe is the place to be,
Dialogue has been always the key;
Be it stunning or ornery,
Live it like it is meant to be.
