Respect

Respect - you lose it when you ask for it. Sometimes perhaps even empathy, compassion, love...

U-Turn

Stunts that make you say yayy!!!

Now here's a programme called "Super 2" on a Telugu channel. I don't follow it much, but today (infact just now) as I happened to stumble upon that moment of the stunt (somewhere around 30:20), I instantaneously understood what the stunt was all about. I could very much relate to the stunt as if it were one of those real-life problems where people are often required to compete amidst moving targets and dynamics!

As I saw Amulya completing the stunt, I was really like - "Yayy! That was actually done!?!..!!!" When Madalsa and Amulya later swapped their roles to Puller and Skater, I was a little disappointed that the stunt remained incomplete. When the results were discussed I understood that no pair (from amongst three pairs) actually completed the stunt two-way. I later checked if the episode was kept on youtube and was really surprised that it was kept online so fast (almost immediately after the streaming of the episode on TV). I quickly browsed through how other pairs performed and felt it was more fun to watch the first two pairs in fact!

Adventure is fun any day...to watch at least, if not to experience it first-hand!

When time doesn't heal!

When I wrote this piece - "Only time can heal!", I made this mistake of generalising the situation - the pitfall most of us fall into! I overlooked one of those exceptions to this case (such exceptions could be many, so I might as well say - I overlooked the other side of the coin) - when people don't heal with time, for they subconsciously fear that the memories they treasure/cherish would fade away in case they heal with time.

When people lose something, yet when they are not ready to lose their connection with that loss, they accept grief and stay unhealed. This piece explains such a situation pretty well - "The People Who Can't Stop Grieving".

Melody!!!

Hard, Harder, Hardest!

What is even harder is to wait when you do NOT know why you are even holding on to it and what is that "impossible" thing you are waiting for.

Risk!

If you don't risk everything, you risk even more! It's worth the risk when 'everything' becomes 'nothing'!
