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…

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