all about me, of course!

For some reason I find myself in a very vague mood. Been happening quite a bit lately. Just to retain mental composure seems an uphill task. And then I hate sticky wickets.
And whats adding to salt to the wounds is the fact that people tend to run to you with their problems. You could say I am almost *this* close to becoming an agony aunt. [its a std phrase, I dare you to use such a word :)] Well its the way the world is ...any problem that is ours and it does go under all sorts of optical devices - magnifying glasses, microscopes even a telescope ...people often worry about problems that could come in future too. Ok now you do actually lend a ear and offer a plausible solution and pat comes a reply "You dont know how it is" or "Its easy to say all that". Sometimes they say it with such a tone you even begin to wonder if they were serious about finding a solution at all. All they wanted to do was talk, more importantly about themselves. At times you also sense a "You are so lucky its not like that with you!!" undertone. That my friends is the last straw. I know I was dumb enough to sit through it all in the first place.
I dont deny the fact that these people do have real problems. But the best way to deal with is to have a clarity in thought, a thorough self examination and finally decisive action. Talking about it does help to the extent that it is a genuine vent of pent up emotions or seeking advice from people who matter.
Like many of us, I too have/had a fair share of problems, and as much as I would like to run and carry them to someone, all I ask for is, that someone say "It'll be alright!!".

*crasssshhh* There the gloom just fell out of the windw :) Actually we gently nudged it and now its in bits and pieces, and drenched in the rain too:)
As for problems, well you can look at them in so many different ways and come up with so many more different solutions. There is no single prescription if at all one is looking for any. More often we know know the solutions too ...just that we do not have the courage to leave our comfort zone and go that way!
You too have a good weekend :)

Amen!
Maybe they should watch a Woody Allen's movie or read 'The Art of War'. Naa, it might not solve their problem, but they don't want a solution anyways.
So, throw away gloom :) And, yes, "it will be alright" :)
Have a great day!
