It's that time of the year again, when there are celebrations all around you and people are just looking for a reason, to shop, to party and basically to just have some fun. It's also that time of the year when you start reminiscing about the year that went by, and also a time to feel nostalgic - what were you doing exactly 1 year ago on this very day... Have you changed as a person? Have you changed or has the world around you changed? I know these questions are pointless and don't really have any significance whatsoever to life as it exists right now. But as an innate quality(nagging habit) that I have, I can't but wonder(and make you wonder too)....
Anyway, let's move on to other things.. I had vowed when i joined work that i would not be one of those people who spent 12 -14 hrs in office, whose lives are nothing but their work and life outside of work is non existent. Since I am a workaholic, this was of special importance to me, but unfortunately I seemed to have failed on my own terms, I'm slogging like a dog... and it's not even life altering/extremely fascinating kind of work...But then it's work and it's feeding me, so can't bitch about it...
Okay, next topic... Driven by madness of working 12 hours a day and 7 days a week, I was lead to a really irrational decision of watching - Wake up Sid! Other than the chocolately and the boy next door looks of Ranbir(or the one sitting beside you) - nothing much in the movie...
Well, here goes, all of you who read my blog know it's rare for me to be so disoriented and so un-streamlined, its the work, I'm telling you, it's really the work. Getting back into my element - I have had this nagging question in my head for quiet a while, so I'm just going to put out.(Of course as always, there will be a build up to the question... so just read on..)
I'm not sure how many of you felt this way, but i'll describe it to you, let's say you've had a really horrible day and the only thing you want to do is to lie in your mother's lap while she strokes your hair and tells you that it's alright - these things happen or when you meet your long lost friend after a really long time, you feel the need to shake their hand, or even hug them... or sometimes when you see someone very vulnerable and fragile, you want to just hold their hand and give them the strength and comfort that they need... Or how you always end up hi fiing or shaking hands when you have achieved something commendable, or how you just want to be in the arms of the one you love... (Okay you get the picture I think)
So my question is why do we need this reassurance in the form of touch. It's really not related to lust, but it's a desire none the less... Any justification as to why the touch/presence of people is so important?
Let me know.
PS:- I know its a bad post - Don't hate me for it. (Will do better next time)
Of course HAPPY DIWALI to all!! Have a safe and prosperous diwali!!
