The Marathon Runners

Running is in and so are the runners..

But what are we running away from?

Running away from those lurking fears, which may not even exist in reality?

Running away from situations, which weaken us, worsen us and bring out the worst in us.

Running away from people, who are capable of hurting us.

Running away in relationships, trying to find solace in some others.

Running away from family, to meet those needs, which give temporary happiness.

Running away from ourselves, in remorse and doing things, which further our guilt.

Running, Running, Running......... Reaching nowhere........

Aren't we Marathon runners, in our own ways?

My Man

Let the title not confuse any one of us, yes... ME TOO.

He is the Tridev, he is Life, He is Shiv, my Super hero. The experience has never been first hand but in and around his dwellings, there is just something- which gives me that great pull. The dark dungeons with the scent of earth and the potpourri smell of water mixed with milk, flowers still enchants. There is an overwhelming and intimidating power, which i feel lurking around at all his residences and clearly reflecting the power of the Man who is known for his capability to destroy. Wherever i go, the instant connection has always led me to those unexplored territories, where his Power exists. For me he is the Macho God, self reliant, away from the worldly possessions and fidel in many ways. You drive me Crazyyy...

Tell Tales....My version

Acquaintance:

Once again their eyes met

but

they saw only strangers this time...

Language:

Communication was her strength .

The weakness in his eyes bereaved her of the love for languages.

Superman:

Superman was his hero since childhood

He too wanted to be one...

Waking up to his father made him detest one.

It's Scary

Not my own compilation but really like them because of the true sense that they depict.....

She knows what's amazing about you. She knows what's not.

She knows your hands go damp in the lift.

That sometimes you aren't listening, when you swear you are.

You think it's scary to have someone know you like that.

But you know there's something scarier.

Not having someone who knows you like that!

The First!

Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility subscribes to the fact that every additive usage reduces the value of something or lets put it the other way- the first time is the best! When i write today after a long time, i am extremely elated at bringing in 2 different activities in my life, which i did for the first time. Both very different and not a masala to my tea- yet i am happy that i made an attempt to explore and a heartfelt vow to keep it alive.

I am referring to joining a special interest group for Running- Something which has always been an elusive dream to improve my well being. It was really good testing my own beliefs and challenging my body and seeing that it is ready to support my challenge.

Creativity is something which i am not bent in for, still a small office workshop helped me explore the art of Quilling and it has come to me at such right time as a worthy gift for someone real close. And the result not exactly amazing but worthwhile to begin with.....

The Unsaid Support

God never leaves us in lurch. While all our prayers might not be answered at the time we are desirous of but then there is a right time for everything and specifically when you need it the most. Incidences throughout my life clearly indicate that no one fights the odds on his/her own- there is always a suitable person with you- to make it easier. It strengthens the thought that - God is somewhere around, watching us and helping us come out of the issue with learning and support.

Value Add

After very long time, i met a person- who spoke just like me - infact much more focussed than me. I am glad that he voluntarily chose to expend the expensive half an hour of his time- chatting up and catching up with me and sharing his ideology of life. He, who considers life to be very small hence even one moment expended- should add value to you as a person. And its not what other’s consider as a value add but what you feel to be important for you. Thanks for introducing me to the concept of “Business of 21^st Century”..
