Dots…

-


You may have seen me use a lot of dots ……….errrr…….yes….these very dots…you may describe me as indescribable…I don’t want to end anything with a period !  I would really would want to end it with dots…. But having said that , a dot is what you need to make a point ! 

Errr…..is your spotlight on the black dots….?! Not the Polka one !

Ummm….doesn’t matter , black or white , the dots are just not getting connected….Well…guess.. I was just looking forward ….

Anyways ….writing is the most fun you can have by yourself….hahahahaha….


Meanwhile….

“ You can’t connect the dots looking forward , you can only connect them looking backwards “

-Steve Jobs


Why do we even focus on the dot….why not the plain side ?...Yes…we insist on focusing on the dot because it bothers us …money , complicated relationships , disappointments . But the dark dot is very small compared to what we have in our lives ….remember the white plain paper ?.... You take away your eyes off the dot and you see happiness , and joyful moments life gives you !

There are two stories here…The one we tell and the one we leave out …both these stories reflect on us for the rest of our lives…! An echo !


And , of course !  things , sometimes don’t make sense until the end of the story !

But I have to trust somebody , or something ..my guts , destiny , life , karma , whatever ….

The failures that beat us up , were and are the warning signs …we’ve got to connect the dots backwards after the fact !


I am proud of collecting these dots ..and then connecting them …you know ?

I am happy to share these dots to you …..guess , this is how it works …collecting , connecting , sharing …the works !


I know , it’s us , mortals’ nature to take time in connecting the dots ..but somedays , we ‘d really wish that we had connected the dots more quickly .

We need to dream big , people . Start small and then connect the dots …!


Because , believing that the dots will connect down the road , am sure , that it would raise our confidences to follow our hearts ,  even if it leads us off a worn path !....phew…!

When we actually see the connection , there’s this energy , the importance , dignity and meaning of our lives ..!


I don’t know what’s with the dots …and why I chose to write this …but one thing’s sure …guys …

That : “  Everything’s intentional . It’s just filling in the dots .”

-David Byrne


Bored ?....see you soon !

"The Writer's Block"

-
  A   friend recently took me aside and made a point. He was not worried about how I would react. I was nervous too. Of what he would say to me.. Then he made a point …… He asked me to continue writing . He asked me why I had stopped publishing what I used to do before. People out there are looking forward to what I write….Now he wanted me to get going and write… This has prompted me to write and publish again what I lost and missed…. To hell with the ‘Writer’s Block’. When I listened to him that day, I understood that Writer’s Block was not the problem.. The problem laid in ‘not writing anything at all’ ! What I understand is that the only people who think writing is easy are those people who don’t write at all !   No ? The ‘writers block ‘ is not the problem here. It is the fear of not writing well. I am not here for an award or an accolade, I am here because I write and somehow I stopped in between. My audiences here today, may seem a little surprised……but that’s...

The Heart story

-
  Everybody knows now ….. today , it’s an old story..!.. But concerned people still ask me how I feel and how I am faring with my health …….. I’ve been deliberately taking some time   out here…..you know ?.....giving me some space….. giving myself , that much needed ‘ME ‘ time…. I exercised right ….I ate right ….no cheating foods in between hours….my colleagues at office can vouch for me….no oil , no much sweet , no much sour or hot things…. Then why did I get that stroke , when I got one ? You know , I’ve read it somewhere …… that having an Heart Attack is like a surprise party… where , except for presents , you get an ambulance ride ….! Hahahahaha.. I guess , my heart couldn’t handle all the excitement in my life ….ummmm….too many of them ……It was time to switch to a boring routine……..! It had me boggled over and over again…..Why me ? Why ….after all these years ……….I smoked ….all right ! But then last time I checked ( you know where )   …..….my lungs were clear a...

Other Words !

  After some good days ….more news from the planet ! The red hot Sun is turning into dark red and thus spoiling the get-togethers we usually have from 10:00 Am to 7:00 PM……no ? Is it out of context ?…..Yeah….I know ….this is not me……how do I convert myself from a boring article writer to what’s happening at the core of our planet ?    Not me ! Boring ….yeah….getting older , day by day ..ummm….actually I don’t mind getting older ….you know !...but my body is taking it badly….hahahahahaha….! You feel like your warranty has expired and the parts are beginning to wear out ! I was reading a story on Jesse Owens and how he defeated the German athlete Luz Long at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. Hitler was mad at Long , but he bowed down to Jesse and congratulated him in full view of the crowd. Luz Long and Jesse became best friends and when WW2 started , Long wrote a letter to Jesse from the war front. He wrote “ ( paraphrased by me ) I want to meet my wife. I have not seen my...
