It's only words…..

We all have problems. We never understand relationships. We don’t understand that we need to “Compromise” every second. Our bodies compromise every second!

Most compromises are not considered compromise because they’re not life changing! And if its not life-changing, then its not a compromise. Its just a “By Choice” then!

We don’t understand when we need to compromise! A problem with our generation: our “Attitude”! It takes us down every damn time!

Our parents & relatives never taught us that but they always wanted us to grow “compromisingly” at every step!

From the day we were born, we can’t choose our parents! Since most of us are happy & proud about our parents, we never call it compromise. And its then assumed that we didn’t even have a choice there. We resemble them & there’s something we would always share with them. Eureka!!! That’s “Destiny” (a new word...)

But what about the OT we were born in? Fortunately that is also Destiny! So less confusion with words here....since we know only One so far.......Destiny!

We grow up and we go to school. Siblings do not go to the same school. Compromise or Choice? Definitely not Destiny here!

Now there is a trick here! All families have two dictionaries, namely: “Good books” & “Bad books”!

All good book entries are the compromising lot! Appreciated & encouraged! The “You made me Proud” lot!

“Bad Books” are the ones who normally refuse to compromise! So if they want “that pencil”, it has to be that pencil! Guess what this is called? Ill-mannered! Bad behaviour!

Families firmly believe its going to teach us something: the most important lessons of our lives! So, to suit them very conveniently, if we don’t compromise, we automatically enter the wrong dictionary for them: the unwanted-the annoying- the most disrespectful lot!

Our childhood goes in battling both these: Good Books & Bad Books!

As if our lives weren’t already “Complicated”, here enters a new word: “EXPECTATION”: Exceptionally brilliantly crafted! The most dangerous word of the whole lot! So far!

Another repetitive word that we continue using till we part our ways from this materialistic world!

Starts the relationship-phase! Relationship building exercises with family, friends & gf/bf: tough one!

Next topic!!!!!

It all starts like a brand new jigsaw puzzle. Each part is unique and single. We try to put one centre-piece and the build around it. While trying to put these pieces together, we realise there is no overlap: no commonalities!

Our lives are such puzzles. We are puzzles. Opposites attract because: We like in others what we don’t have in us. And then, how we can have the best of both is what we start working on.

The puzzles are being put together. We try hard to make it happen. To make it appear “Perfect”! But somewhere down the line, we do make mistakes. While we are almost closing on it, we realise a piece has gone wrong! We try to figure out why the picture doesn’t look perfect. Then we start looking for the misplaced piece. The one piece that doesn’t look right. In our attempt to find out the wrong thing, we figure there are many wrong ones because of that single puzzle!

Then the whole piece starts looking ugly, suddenly! You realise you’ve made a mistake! Where you made that mistake is still mystery! The moment where the concentration went off! It just ruined everything!

So now, you have two options again! Un-scramble it all or start mending loose ends again.

We find ourselves in places we never thought we would be! Our concentration tells a lot about the kind of persons we will turn out to be! so it does pay to be attentive while your game!

These games are also passed on to siblings..... so the edges of these puzzle blocks get torn, like parts of our lives.

We don’t know where we want to start off: Glue the torn parts first or just join the puzzles back together as they are. We’re “Confused”! The master-word, I call it! Its identical twin is called “I Don’t Know”!

You know the wonders these words can do, PROVIDED used at the needed time and place! These words have an impeccable record of coming out of our systems at all the possible wrong times.

Imagine if these word were people what a deliriously frantic world it would be!
