So, after quite a while, in a mood to blog again. But do I have anything new to say? Unfortunately, no.
Change is the only constant, they say. I don't think so. In a monotonous routine, life is the only constant.
So, the routine is - struggle to wake up early in the morning, somehow get up from bed, run to the bathroom, reach office, do your job, come back home, have a drink, eat and go to sleep. And meet people in between if schedules or conveniences permit.
I know I am not alone in this, many of us have this same issue with life. What many do not carry is the frustration of not being able to get past a billboard without looking at the bold 'wrong way' sign.
Am I complaining? No, I have stopped complaining long back. Its like my asthma. Initially when I found out I can't breath at times, I tried to look for ways to cure it. Later I realized it was incurable. I learnt to live with it. Me and my asthma co-exist now. Just like me and my quiet frustrations do. Just like I have learnt to laugh with people or laugh at myself on an innocent asthma joke, I also learnt to take the frustrations in my stride.
Yet, you hope of a better life, you dream of living a dream. It may be an impossible dream, yet that motivates you. That adds some purpose to your monotonous life. If this dream sours like a broken glass, so be it, you will find a new dream.
Its strange how dreams change. That depends on what you think is remotely achievable.
Sample this.
You are married to the woman you love. You Dream of being her son's father.
You are in a relationship, a genuine one. You dream of getting married or having sex.
You are trying to impress a girl you really love. You dream of getting into a relationship.
You need a partner. You dream of finding a girl.
The shift to one dream to another depends on what you achieve, and what you don't.
That's life. You need to make the adjustments. And let frustrations sleep with you. :)
