Scribblings

What's on my mind? Lots. What is it that's worth sharing? All of it. Am I going to go ahead and scribble away or keep thinking and avoid writing? I don't know. Sometimes, you are just too full of things. One day you are feeling completely blessed and so positive about life and there isn't a sign of any thing sad. The other day, hope seems to be snatched away and you are left gaping at the big wide world out there. What should one do in such times?

Get angry at the world and the 'creator' and keep cribbing? Be sad and be quiet and let things get on by themselves? Why does a cup of hot chocolate or coffee quieten you but let your tears spill over? Is it because, while you are all alone with just that cup in your hands - the loneliness is gnawing at you deep down? Or, is it because the more you may be avoiding thinking about a particular issue - the more it comes to the forefront as you switch channels between sips of coffee?

Whatever it is, it is no doubt troublesome to try to calm down when you can see yourself failing to do that even. Maybe, if one could sleep when upset, it would resolve issues temporarily. Oh, no wonder the 'drink' or 'drug' makes sense when emotions are way too high to be controlled. There are people who drink because they like to. Those numbers are few. There are more who drink because they look at it as a escape from the "to-do's" on their list. Sad, but most of the people who take to drinking as something enjoyable, start relying upon it to provide life's answers. Little do they realize, they are ruining life by themselves. Slaves of the bottle!

How wonderful it would be instead, if all of us could find our own bottled Genie? Life would be so much more sorted out. Is it that the genie is already very much within us, but we fail to see? Who put Him there and why do we call the genie -God? Why do we ask Him to bring about the changes that we are not making in our lives? You know, its sad but I guess, when you have a Genie at your disposal, you get too used to asking favors or giving orders (whichever way you take it). You don't look at Genie as something 'awesome' anymore and you expect all your whims and fancies to be realized. Selfish, isn't it?
