Life’s different moods brings out the diversity in an otherwise stagnant pond. The non descript person you work with turns into a loving parent who moulds the heaven and earth for family dearest when at home. He’s the under graduate student who day-lights as a personal trainer in your local grocery store. She’s a fresher in a corporate company with light in her eyes and dreams of changing her nation by her service. She known as the office b!#$% who has juggling balls at home and worklife; a home loan to pay, small kids, securing their future, juggling family life, namely in-laws and hubby dearest and is forced to protect her job in the way she knows best, water-cooler politics! He’s the darling who’s unable to cope with the big bad world alone when alone. She’s your dear friend struggling to combat loneliness of that the urban world begrudges us, with a smile on her face.
She’s the avante-garde pocket-dynamite with dreams of making it big, rocking the world she inhabits. He’s the starched-collar poet-at-heart stuck in a coding job. He’s the heart broken suit wearing lover who forges ahead determined to get away from a heart wrenching past. Or probably, she’s battering down the keyboard at night trying to find meaning in life by looking up the internet.
She’s the friendly neighbour who has known no security in either home or hearth in 40 years of existence, not life – existence, circumstances forcing her to trust a little less than what God would have liked. He may be the guy who’s moved overseas to pursue higher studies and finds that the developed world is not so developed or life that sunny as he hoped it would be. She’s the born leader, the youngest of them all, though that’s not evident in her mood, language or accomplishments. She’s an adolescent with the same dreams as kids the world-over, learning the world is much more exciting than her mundane existence of poverty and endless drudgery. She’s the rebel who charms the right people into cheering her all the time; most of them so blinded that reason does not have a place in their minds.
He’s the loyal son with a dream to succeed, provide his family the comforts he never had growing up. She’s happy-go-lucky whose lost among a sea of pretenders. He’s a parent in the twilight of his years coming to terms with the harsh realization that ‘now’ does not belong to him. It cares even less about how that hurts. He’s grown into a man who reliance on himself sometimes hurts.
She’s finds strength in searching for love. She’s unselfish, caring, sweet and generous to a fault. She’s brutally honest, she snubs, she’s wild.
