Riding two horses can sprain the ankled nerve

Faith and associated actions must draw one cart. If you follow a particular religion or cult, then do plunge into the associated activities. If you are a devout follower of a religious person, try to touch his / her shadow not feet, once in a while or emulate his actions- Who knows, it may exude some positive or cosmic effects. Like those who always dreamed of Mars would like to go there even if it is a one-way ticket. Of late, New Year festivities are associated with Santa Claus (though X'mas is seven days old) and gifts. Now the crux is that if faith is on one level and activities are on another.... Result - utter dissatisfaction. Like this man was a Hindu and professionally he made pots for hindu funerals. His wife would happily hand over ladoos to taste for Diwali and this man would sit hovering over a potter's wheel to make pots. Both inevitable but not satisfying.

Not a laughing matter

Mrs Patel an erstwhile neighbour, was puny in size but liked everything big and a glaring example being her giant-sized husband. To match her equation with him and to avoid public glare she wore bright sarees with big prints and ornaments that suit tribals (who, with due respect, are also earthly). A second peculiarity she loved to indulge in loud conversation with her husband. Once she paid a condolence visit to a neighbour. The occasion was solemn and silent. Twenty odd persons in one room to pathetically argue how did 'he' (the dead man) die? Mrs Patel makes a quiet entry and begins to ponder and look solemn, when suddenly she noticed her husband. Lo, she nudges her way towards him and speaks in loud whispers which sounded like "Cher's" rap( Cher does not rap). Oh, could I laugh no, could the others laugh- no.Soon one woman escorted Mrs Patel out to let fresh air change her thoughts and actions.Her demeanour looked like that of a lost soul in fragile surroundings.

Thoughts and actions if mutually opposed, spell disaster

Very down-to-earth examples are needless to elaborate, especially if they are politicians. We do come across such 'contrary' examples in life. A teacher and mother will display gentle behaviour at school but may be cantankerous or an argumentative mother at home. Now, don't wonder where war originated. Not in Belgium. A man may be an overfriendly boss in office but a difficult person at home. NO wonder such dissimilarities bring in over-indulgence like addiction to cannabis, sex, drinks or violence. We are all homo sapiens,  so that slight leaning towards animalism can be disastrous.

Fragile minds seek fragile pleasures

Whether one is in Maharashtra, Sikkim, West Bengal or Kerala(other states also included ), one would notice a watering hole at every half a kilometre and these dens nurture seeds of dismay, disaster or
discomfiture in society.In other words a fragile mind can dig a trench to shut out tension. Parsonic feelers cannot construct a firm outlook to life till one realises the perils of  leading an uncouth life. It is not advisable to be saintly and tolerant always but an effort could be made to pay heed to a balance in disposition ....Now or Never.

A lesbian friend (an acquaintance to me) visits the orphanage every month and donates gifts or clothes to overcome her quirky mental  disposition. So remember gays or lesbians all over the world are innocuous like rattle snakes.

How easy or difficult to connect with….on SM?

To be on Social Media is a challenge for all ages provided you  ➤   Be online for at least six hours  ➤    Be tech-savvy on a moderate level  ➤    Be agile in recognising your responder  ➤    Understand ethics of conversation, not mandatory as in today’s parlance, if it treads on an abusive streak not polish  ➤    Emoticons are feelers (pheromones) that are lukewarm but essential especially “hearts” the most   misconstrued ones  ➤    Posting selfies for a pat than information  ➤    Pretend to be active on dating/profile/preacher apps (not that otherwise you are a stick-in-the-mud) Me, as an SM user has been disappointing because I cannot pretend to be active when I am slumped on a seat that is smeared with an hour-long glue. Maybe more! Poor/late reflexes to remarks. Reactions to encouraging news has been an unavoidable trait to keep me abreast of news, pr...

Khairoo and her sisters

Khairoo and Her Sisters – Still a Reverie -Reshmi Chandrasekhar It wasn’t easy playing Hide-N-Seek with Khairoo in your company.Khairoo was one lovable friend. She was only six with two elder sisters .They were sharp witted and pretty; Zainab and Iyesha- I instead of “Ai” that’s how she wanted it spelt. Why?God knows! Allah knows! Wherever she is now if she read this piece I am sure she would come grinning a pleasant nod. Iyesha was the eldest, shorter and darker compared to Zainab. On special days when the two dressed up anyone would admire Zainab even if Iyesha wore a costlier dress. If Zainab offered an endearing smile for the compliments Iyesha would part with a smirk. But both sisters paid lavish compliments to Khairoo who always wore spotless white clothes. She preferred it that way. Khairoo felt white created an odd brightness around her and if anybody made her sit in sunlight she gushed with laughter that followed a chuckle, expressing gratitude. And why? Khairoo was b...

Your heart beats for one year more to kick you about, for days and months to make it worthwhile. Remember blossoms are waiting to bloom only for all! Bouquets don’t last!

Your frame of bones and flesh have a tenacity to absorb. Don’t over absorb to break that tenacity. Body is matter, preserve it! Caution helps Just guard yourself from “anti-self” persons, ambitious pessimists , who will raise hopes and disappoint later. Body is a big rubber ball that keeps bobb...
