Mood Swings

Mood Swings


There comes a time when inspite of everything going right in one's life, a feeling of extreme solitude takes over. The source or the reason for this feeling remains somewhat unexplained. Endless cups of black coffee fails to bolster up the mood. It so happened that one of these days I got a bout of 'gloominess' and 'ohh my God where is my life going?'. Usually a very buoyant person, the gloom factor has always made me irritable. I had to shrug it off ASAP. I tried picking up a book to read, ended up just flipping through the pages aimlessly. Made an attempt to cook, with the end result of some burnt toast and tasteless eggs ! Flipped through television channels only  to find a mother in law throwing brickbats at her daughter in law. Other channels weren't of any respite either. I managed to find some horoscope readers, telemarketers and IPL commentaries. Sitting still wasn't a trait that I was particularly proud of. Not able to do anything in it's completion was making me a little fidgety. I decided to surf a social networking sight for some untailored fun and a chance of a mood change. I realized that it was Gurudev's 150th birthday and the place was plastered with quotes here and there. I chanced upon one such quote that struck a cord with me. It read :

"I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door - or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present."



Hmm...I thought to myself, that makes a lot of sense. Am I not the optimistic person he's referring to?? Probably it's just a bad day which I was over hyping. Problem with watching too many movies and reading mushy books is that even a tiniest mood swing achieves ginormous proportions. Not that a subtle quote suddenly changed my mood, I remained dull for the rest of the day. It did perhaps very faintly made me understand it was an odd day and I should stop cursing the entire universe for the sudden gloominess thrust upon me. Something terrific has always been coming up no matter what. Ever so grateful to Gurudev for the rousing quote, I got down to doodling and ended up drawing him. Here's to the numerous mood swings and my musings about it.
Yours truly

Art Attack!

Recycled wine bottle Multicolored  thread and wool used to cover an old wine bottle with glue. It can be used as planter or simply for decoration. Using ropes gives a awesome rustic look. Great creative with different colour threads. :)                                                                     Pen stand- recycled newspapers Old newspaper rolled into circles and then put together to make a vase. They are rolled to look like small snails. The base is made in the same way, paper rolled into a circle (depending on how big you want your vase to be). You need immense patience to just keep making these rolls and can get frustrating at times. :) Once done, colour them with acrylic colours for more durability and start attaching it to the base with an  ...

Entanglement

Entanglement Was it a mistake? The most endearing one Was it your embrace? The most impressionable Was it hurt? It did lacerate Was it friendship? But it’s always vague Was it a moment? Ethereal and abysmal   Was it your caress? Perhaps a transitory relapse Was it love? I did feel so… Was it love? But it’s always vague.

Fitness Shitness Hai Rabba !!

Image
Never in my life have I been a fitness freak or someone who even does exercise inside the house. Hitting the gym was always on the ' to do' list that kept changing every year, keeping only the laziness constant. Infact the only fitness related activity I have ever done in my life would include taking my school children for sports classes and maybe doing a bit of stretching there. Even as a student I remember bunking all my sports classes and march past practices. I had invented  a 'rare' disease which I used in my swimming classes and even got a doctor to write a prescription!  I would get an allergy when I would come in contact with water and sunlight. I hope the advancement in science probably would have found a cure for this deadly disease by now.  It wasn't till a recent party where my obvious paunch was a little too obvious and encouraged a particularly drunk lady to point it out. " Well, such things happen at your age, she said." such thin...
