Happy New Year
Every time I ponder over doing something the unrelenting laziness cantors the moment. When I try to doze off, a sense of spryness engulfs the mind. Is this vegetative state we define as mind-in-action or is it an ordinate illusion from the reality. Talking about reality it very much depends upon what we want to feel and little about what others want us to perceive.
Let’s not blabber any more into the everlasting canopy of neo-reality. Let me take you through a thought of mine that intrigued me since the time I was playing with the likes of a bunch of kids whom I so effortlessly called friends. How many times we hear the same old clichéd question posed to us? Though over the stretch of time with growing number of candles in our birthday cake and apparently incrementing the age-cycle we loose the overall perspective of the answer. Answers that in childhood every kid gave with a smile, what do you want to become when you grow up? Gosh! Do we still remember the answer that used to make our neighbors envy the lucidity of our sweetness or is it that we have out grown ourselves so much that pondering over such primitive issues tickles the funny bone in our body. Either ways, it is fascinating to muse over such questions. Some call it expectation others name it facing-the-reality.
The prism of thought can be best reflected when there is light. So, when this New Year starts may be just before realizing the canopy of “resolution”, ask yourself what once you have answered so gleefully and what you are today.
What do you want to become when you grow up? Happy New Year.

I'm so glad I found your blog. Reading through it I find peace & calm.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you have outgrown the "lucidity of (y)our sweetness", it gives the reader an insight into your highly evolved and hence convoluted thought process.
ReplyDeletebeing a regular reader of your blog and reminding you of npur days and calling in free-and-easy style my friend, i demand to know how ur answer has changed with time :P :))
ReplyDeleteon my part it is fair, back in old days also, i was never sure of what i want to be in future and with time i understood that it is getting more difficult to answer,
my one of new yr resolution is to learn something from you
The more important question than "what" is "why". Why do we at all want to become something when we "grow up"? To be more unambiguous, let's say "growing up" means passing the stage of early adulthood (does not matter literally, one can set his own standards). Today when we look back into our childhood, all we can remember that the "question" that we used to answer, or what we still think as the question, was (or is) about a position where people have to look above in order to talk with us.
ReplyDeleteIs that really the question? Or is it the same haunting question that we seek to answer even today? Is it not the case that perhaps now we are gradually understanding the true essence of the same question, "Tell me darling, what type of person do you want to become when you GROW UP?"

This post of yours makes for a seriously nice read and it is nice and concise. Another wonderful work on your part.
ReplyDelete'Beauty is in simplicity'
This is one quote that comes to my mine everytime i read priungkush's blog and now you too seem to remind me of the very same quotation. Yaar, I belive that one can express the best of emotions in the simplest of words. Use of superfluous words only makes for a tedious reading.
But that's entirely my opinion!!!
Btw, i really like this new look of your blog, it has got a very aesthetic look.Waiting for your next 'work of art'!!!
that was a really nice post and makes me wonder if i should just resign from my job and really do i what i used to reply at those times...
