Peek-a-Boo





On yet another lazy Sunday afternoon as I cruised through cyberspace… it struck me … I forgot the “peek” of peek-a-boo… and kept hiding from blogger world for close to18 months now!! Some hibernation that…!! Without further ado, I checked some of my friends’ blogs… for some recent posts. Barring a few nerdy ones… most of them like me, have been missing from the blogger space.

[*looking at the ceiling with hands up in the air so as to find an answer...]

Not that there weren’t any significant events in life that were worth enough to blog about… or not that events around the world did not inspire me to write one... but then I did not. Probably that’s the case with my other friends too.

In random order with no regards to the significance of each underlying yo-yo event, I have/was in the last 18 months…

ü  Hit highest highs and lowest lows of my personal and professional lives.
ü  Surprised myself following a routine and then … as a routine… gave up the routine.
ü  Written the opening lines for a blog post after being inspired … and then backspaced for I was at loss for words (or just being plain Bruno lazy).
ü  Found loads of faith… lost some on the way and found it back again(now even stronger)
ü  Gained 7…lost 5… gained 3… lost 8… and gained 3 kilos of fat & muscle(*WTF!).
ü  Had 2 increments on my basic (*yay!).
ü  Found a new hobby i.e shopping… (Boy it’s addictive!)
ü  Went on a fabulous trip to South India (Oooh! reminded of God’s own country)  
ü  Worked under 4 different supervisors all in the same company..!
ü  Cleared two most commonly taken banking exams in India-JAIIB & CAIIB in my 1st attempt.
ü  Sent in two entries for in-house corporate magazine… both of them published… one of which won me a gift card of Rs500.
ü  Enjoyed the warmth of the sun and calmness of the moon.
ü  Taken aback by the harshness of the same sun and iciness of the same moon.
ü  Lost some dear ones and found some new.

Look back… you too might have had some amazing breath taking moments… some blood boiling moments… some blissful moments… some soul shuddering moments… and some still moments… why 18 months? Try 18 days and you’ll have it all.

In the midst of all the mandated chaos (such is the paradox of life)… and search for tranquillity… we all lose our way. Some find it back… some don’t…and they tread a different path altogether. We have demands to meet… we have promises to keep… and then we have a rep to protect… Compromises… sacrifices… escapisms… dousing of passion happens along the way… and then some new found self-philosophy emerges …probably that’s what inspired this post… [*hands up in the air again]

The idea here is… while life and you yo-yo together and play the peek-a-boo… keep doing what brings kicks in euphoria (as opposed to vanilla happiness) and if being too nice becomes pricey.. Don’t be afraid to be a dog/bitch… for they say… every dog has its day… J  


And with that note... here is me signing off ... promising myself to be back at this space frequently enough...
